So long story short
Just some time back I had got myself A9+. Been using it for a while and I like it.


I also just recently own S4 Tab ( the flagship one but from 2019).

I don't know which one to keep and which one to sell.

Though I am liking S4 a lot ...I also believe it will probably get No update and not sure if 4Gb will be enough for regular user.


I mean t does S4 a tablet launched in 2019 will still be great for next 2-3 years.
 
Guys,
Really in two minds with this.
but also very much leaning towards S4 tab.

So any advice will be helpful.

Also can anyone help answer this.

I want to buy an S-pen for S4 tablet. I was wondering will any S-pen be compatible with S4....because S4 S-pen was different design than the latest ones?
Also same about the keyboard cover. Does Keyboard cover compatibility also changes with every new Samsung tablet like Apple in most cases?

secondly, any good and reliable website to buy tablet cover for S4 tab . Amazon/Flipkart have very few options and they look ugly. I dont want to spend too much also. My budget is 400-700 max.


Lastly, ....I know S4 will have no security patch anymore. Its last security patch shows June 2022. Will it matter , should I be concerend?

My usage are mostly reading and taking notes and netflix and all.
that is it.

Yes any S-pen will work on Any tablet, Note, and S Ultra device. Only Z series are an exception to this rule.

Yes, there are keyboard cover differences. S4 does not have a keyboard cover or a Dex mode. Still, you will be better off buying a regular BT keyboard that you can use with other devices too.

For Note Taking and Netflix, no. Also the newer versions of Samsung Notes have some killer features (depending on what you are using it for), but for general note taking, there's not much difference.

I would still vote for an S4 against A9. It is better in almost every way. Except for software updates. The 4GB ram will not be a hindrance (I still use most Tabs right from an S2 till S10).

Samsung S4 Tab has dex mode bhai. It even has that keyboard connector thing. But it has 4 connector ( those points) . I see latest ones have 3 connector thing.

Okay. Will move to Samsung notes.

Was just worried a about security part and incase this might have apps support removed in near future. I will sell A9+ and keep this.

For a great writing experience, I would recommend a matte screen cover, and a note of caution, the cheaper Spen replacements have bad tips, and greatly reduce the writing experience, go for the slightly more expensive replacement pens (available on Ebay and AliExpress).
