Hello. I bought this tablet three weeks ago and it's incredible!!! I use it for watching movies/series on Netflix, browsing, note-taking, and a little bit of drawing. For these purposes, it is truly amazing. As for gaming, unfortunately, it can't handle anything. It starts lagging at the beginning, but after optimizing the game, you can play it. However, I don't recommend it. The stylus is very good, with excellent palm rejection (meaning it doesn't detect your palm when you use it, providing a smooth experience). For note-taking, I recommend the simple Samsung app as it has everything you need and much more, although I haven't discovered everything yet.
Dex mode:
I haven't used it at all, just a little bit at the beginning to see what it's all about. It's very nice, but personally, I don't find it user-friendly. However, everyone has different preferences on how they want to use their tablet.
Speakers:
They are very good. I have no complaints. They are loud and have incredible sound quality.
Screen:
It's not the best, but it's very satisfactory and I think it's good enough for watching long movies without getting tired or feeling like the screen is not good. The brightness is incredible. I always keep it at 25-40%, just like I do on my phone, which means I have low brightness.
For drawing, I use ibis paint X, it's free and it's the only one I'm used to and comfortable with. There are other apps, though, like infinity painter (personally, it doesn't suit me at all).
I hope I covered your basic questions.
Edit 8/1/2023: I've had it for a month and it's still exceptionally good even though I use it for many hours every day. The battery, screen, speakers, etc. are still in the same condition, meaning good to excellent. My stylus has fallen several times from a high place, but it still works fine, so it has very good durability. Overall, the whole experience is the same. 4.5/5
Edit 21/4/23:
I've had the tablet for almost 4-5 months. Almost nothing has changed. Maybe it's slightly slower, but it has been notifying me that it needs an update for a while now and I haven't done it. Not only that, but I use it for hours every day. At first, I play a few games and it handles them easily, but it can't handle the more difficult and heavy games, of course (it lags quite a bit, maybe only happening to me).
Speakers:
Amazing, they haven't changed at all since I got the tablet. They are perfect.
Battery: It's not amazing, but it easily lasts for a day and still has 40%+. Of course, I don't use it for many hours, but around 5-6 (not just by myself). The usage includes Netflix (many hours continuously with full brightness, not very loud sound, and excellent resolution), notes, calendar, browsing, social media, and some light games. The battery is unbeatable, no doubt about it.
S pen: It's not something extraordinary, unfortunately, it has a small issue with the palm rejection function. Overall, it's very good because it doesn't need charging (it doesn't charge at all), it feels nice in the hand, and it magnetically attaches to the side of the tablet. It also has a button that is quite useful for various reasons.
Camera: I haven't tested it much, but when I needed to take some quick photos, it was fine, not perfect as we all expected.
Screen: It's very good, I couldn't find anything negative about it, even though I heard that there are some dead pixels at the edge (meaning they don't work and the screen is not visible), but there is no such issue at all! The screen is perfect, without any problems, with beautiful colors and excellent resolution.
Dex mode: Very nice, although I haven't used it much yet. However, it is an interesting addition.
Overall, it is a very good choice, value for money. It is worth it if you need it for videos, social media, browsing, light games, and especially notes, which in my opinion are incredible, even if you are not an expert with the pen and settings. For notes, I recommend the simple application, Samsung notes. It is free and covers all the basic needs and can handle excellently whatever we need.
I highly recommend it without hesitation!!
