I have problems with my HP Prime now. please, help me! the buttons are swapped (the "-" decreases the screen brightness and the "+" increases the screen brightness; the "divide" goes to the terminal screen"), and every time I press "Esc", it goes to an "Exam Mode" screen, that has "Configurations - Basic Mode" and to choose the angle. And the Symb button reset. It also does not turn off... I press "shift" and then "off" and it does nothing. And seems like the "On" button is stuck. When I hold down the "On" button, I can change the screen brightness with the "+" and "-" buttons, divide goes to the terminal screen, and Esc goes to exam mode. Please, you can help me? I am from Brazil! Sorry for my english.
I have to make a review of this. This is also a note to myself. TLDR: For the original price, this tablet has serious handicaps in several departments. It's just ok, nothing extravagant or special. Same as the S7 from 3 years ago. It's not a bad product; it's ok. Indeed, it's really not as big as people make it sound. I also have the S8 Ultra, and I'm not blown away with either one, lol. For the price, the display is insanely dim at max brightness, and the sharpness is a true drawback. When you set a custom wallpaper, you will instantly see tons of grains in the picture. I use the s8 ultra in my car for gps and audio; and the brightness is the biggest drawback. The battery life on Samsung tablets has essentially remained unchanged since the Tab S7. (6 to 8 hours of screen on time) The cameras are a joke. The back camera is worse than some phones from 2011 (I'm not joking brother); it's unusable at night. The vibration motors are the same found on the tab S6 from 4 years ago (quite bad). The speakers are noticeably better than thr s8 ultra; it's hard to explain, they just sound more sophisticated.
@@calculator_boy I had used Galaxy Note Pro 12.1, and when I first got my iPad 12.9, I was surprised how big it was. I had expected that it should not be that bigger than Note 12.1, but it's because of the aspect ratio. I compared the size of iPad 12.9 and Tab Ultra using an online tool and found that their screen shorter side lengths are almost identical, so in terms of the screen size, I would prefer iPad 12.9. But the thing is I hate iOS's limitations like needing a Mac to write an app for it. For Android tablets, I can use anything like a Linux PC to write apps. So, I was thinking about buying a Tab Ultra. If only there was a way to install Android on iPad. Also, I wish all tablets just use old non-protruding back camera(s) even if the quality is bad. It just sucks that the tablet cannot lie flat on a surface, and that is for what? How many people actually use tablets to take high-quality pictures? Very few, I guess. I would just use my phone. And yeah, I guess tablets should have good vibration motors. iPad or my Galaxy Tab S5e lack vibration, which makes the on-screen typing experience bad.
@@calculator_boy did you try ipad 12.9 too? For battery life and pen experience that isn't soft like s pen tip for pdf annotating . Which one worth and can perform in speed at least 3 years?
@@nasergh9354 The first and last time I had an iPad was almost 3 years; a 3rd gen 11 inch iPad pro. I tried to like apple devices, but I simply can never use an Apple phone or tablet. Way too many features missing. Ignorance is bliss. Since apple users have never had these features, they aren't technically missing out. Performing simple tasks on an iPad like file or media transfer is a headache. App sideloading isn't really a think. I can run older versions of an android app with zero issues if I don't like the new version. I'm currently doing this with several apps thanks to apk sideloading. No vibration motors (haptic feedback), no built in navigation for the WIFI variants (I currently use the tab s8 ultra in my car for google maps and as infotainment.) I believe all android devices have built in navigation regardless of cellular support or not (I know for sure all samsung devices do). Multitasking on even a tab s6 from 4 years ago is far far far better than today's iPads. My favorite emulators of all time (Emu48 and Graph 89) aren't available on the app store. This is the only reason I sold my iPad less than 24 hr of owning it. I could have closed my eyes on the other missing features and kept the tablet solely for emulation and media consumption. Apple is known to be hard to work with hence the absence of these emulators on the appstore. Samsung Note is extremely powerful; it makes PDF signing, filling a breeze! I literally did an entire class on my tab s7+ back in 2021 using Samsung Note to HANDWRITE answers on PDF files are required by the instructor. I've signed lots of important documents in just seconds as opposed to printing the document, sign it, and then scan it. This is just a rant about why I can never use an apple phone or tablet, and I haven't even covered 5% of the reasons lol. Perhaps Apple has implemented some of these features, but it will always be behind Android in term of innovation in the smartphone and tablet department; at least in the next few years.

Nice review, but the king of budget tablet king still remains the IPad Air 5
Doesn't look so big somehow.
