extra stores is selling them now but sadly no wifi only LTE versions are sold. But they sell them cheaper than the introductory price in bahrain.
anybody bought them yet in Saudi? what freebies were there? saudi government might have removed the freebies who knows
Honestly you can find every phone and tablet in SA before any other place and you can find them in good prices too!
Anyway you can try Jarir Bookstore or fonezone.com
thats true but in the tab S' case saudi arabia is probably the last country to get it
extra stores has a promo now that if you buy at least a tab s 8.4 (price 1999 SAR or more) you get a free "prime" tablet 7 inches though i dont know exactly what type of brand this prime is
tab s 8.4 in saudi
Hi yesterday I've looked around for the galaxy tab s 8.4 and all I found is the LTE version with exynos octa core processor made in Vietnam. I'm not sure if the device supports all 4g bands TDD and FDD in Saudi. Anyone has any information about the device?
Hi
Yesterday, I purchased 8.4 LTE (4G) Titanium Bronze from Extra Store (Al-Khober). The price is 1999/SAR. It is having Exynos 5 Octa Quad-core 1.9 GHz & Quad-core 1.3 GHz. As expected it is awesome. The brown and golden color combination looks amaizing.
Now the thing thats missing is the case/cover. No body has its cover. Not in Jarir, Not in Extra. I want "Simple Cover", but even if I find "Book Cover" I will purchase it.
Anyone has any idea where to find the case/cover in KSA. It is really risky to use it without cover.

Adnan Rahim

i bught it 1950sar
and i found it yesterday costes 1900 gmlah
i dont think you can buy the case atm
That's right, you can barley find the simple and cover book that's why I ordered my book cover from Amazon and it costs me about 245 S.R with shipping. :good:
What about Expansys Saudi Arabia... is it wise to order case from them online? They seems to have "Simple Cover" in stock.
any online store ship from saudi arabia to kuwait and have good prices thank you.
yeasterday i searched for tab pro 8.4
in cairo
but i found the tab s 8.4 and i bought it
I can buy a brand-new, unopened-in-box Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 or 8.0 on Craig's List for $300. I'm deliberating which one I should get. I'm leaning towards the 8.0 because of its portability. (I'm coming from a Galaxy Tab S 8.4.) Which one would you get and why?

9.7, because I use it mainly for reading and browsing desktop mode websites.
I bought the 8" and previously I had the Note 8.
I prefer the 8" for portability, light, easy to hold.
I had a 10" before, not Samsung and I don't feel I'm missing anything by having the 8.
I wish they had upgraded the Note 8 but mine no longer kept a charge for more than 1 -2 hours.

Almost certainly the 9.7 model. Its still highly portable and the extra screen area makes all the difference.
I went from a Note 8 to a Note 10.1 to the S2 9.7. I'd definitely recommend the 9.7". It's extremely light and portable and it seems like there's a bit of a better accessory selection for the 9.7"".
Oh, and according to math the screen is approximately 1.7" bigger
I had the 8 for a day, cause i thought it would be nice to have a smaller tablet, and it just wasn't working for me. So i went and got the 9.7 version and it's much better, for me.

I prefer 8.0 and using it now, great for reading and gaming in hand. Previously I always get bigger edition +/- 10" tablet and I was wrong getting it, it is too big and troublesome on handheld gaming.
Or should I just hang on to my trusted, first-generation Tab S? It would cost me about $100 to upgrade to the S2 if I take buying a case and tempered glass screen protector into consideration.
--Ron
I looked into this a bit more. I took my Tab S 8.4 to Best Buy and did a thorough side-by-side comparison with a Tab S2 8.0. I've concluded it's really not worth upgrading to a Galaxy Tab S2 from my original Tab S. It would cost me too much to upgrade, particularly with a new case and a tempered glass screen protector, and the upgrade simply isn't worth it. So I'm going to hang on to my trusted Tab S.
--Ron
Well, actually... I just found a Galaxy Tab S2 on Craig's List with an official Samsung book cover, which I was able to negotiate down to $280, so I might take the plunge after all.
--Ron
had a note 8.0 before,and I love the 9,7 screen,also its just 80g heavier (including the cover),so its not more a strain on the hand than the note 8.0 was.
did I mention I love the screen ?
I think everyone thinks it's not worth the upgrade. Me Inc. Until you get the Tab S2
And after a couple days you realise it really is we worth kt
I took the plunge. I was able to sell my Tab S 8.4 with official Samsung book cover for $260 on Craig's List and buy a brand-new-in-box Tab S2 8.0 with its official Samsung book cover for $280 (also on Craig's List), so I basically upgraded for 20 bucks. Quite a good deal! I'm going to set up my new Tab S2 tonight. Am very curious!
--Ron
I ordered a Used Like-New condition S2 8.0 from Amazon Warehouse Deals for $300, which is actually just $285 after my Prime Card 5% discount, plus $10 for the skinomi glass skin protector.
9.7 is less comfortable in one hand for me, but it's a matter of preference, you probably know which size tablet you prefer if you've ever owned one or used a friend's or seen one in a best buy.

I amm very interested in getting either a S 8.4 or S2 8.0 mainly for reading books, can you offer your insights? THanks!
I love my S2 8.0! It runs much more smoothly than the S 8.4. On paper, the specs aren't that much better, but in practice I'm seeing a big performance improvement. I thought that the lower screen resolution and 4:3 aspect would bother me, but they really don't. The screen is still gorgeous, and the aspect ratio works just fine, also for watching videos. If your main purpose is for reading books and web browsing, then I'd say definitely go to the S2 8.0, unless you can find a screaming deal on the S 8.4. You basically can't go wrong with either. I'd suggest to look on Craig's List, where you can find great deals on both the S2 8.0 and S 8.4. I can imagine that many of these tablets will be offered after Christmas.
Good luck deciding!
--Ron
IMO, it's the same amount of inconvenience to lug around an 8 inch or 9.7 inch tablet. The main reason I buy a tablet is for screen real estate, so the 9.7 was a no brainer.

I love my 9.7. I had a Tab S 10.5 and this is is perfect. Great size, performance is amazing. Much better than original tab S. BTW, both of my tabs are the Verizon versions

Completely unrelated to the current topic, but I wanted to let you know because I had a similar note 8 issue after the kitkat update. What I did was open the back panel using a guitar pick, and then simply disconnect and reconnect the battery. The note 8 has worked fantastically every since, getting the full 8-10hr battery from it.
Edit: I also have the 9.7. I think the format being similar to the ipad air and the 4:3 screen makes it fantastic for reading research papers which is what I do a lot. Web browsing also feels like its a couple notches better because on the phones its either too narrow for reading content in portrait or the menu and url bars are too invasive in landscape. Of course you get big borders when viewing most video content. But if you are like me and watch movies in the dark, say in bed, the borders aren't visible because of the true blacks on the display.
Thanks for your hint on the battery.
I've actually ordered a new battery and will see how it works.
I've ordered the Dot Pen and I hope it works. I really miss the S Pen
I'm thinking of bailing on Apple and my iPad mini and switching to android. Tired of updates making my devices useless.
Is the Tab 2 8.0 a good buy in this size (8 to 9 inches) ?
Does the wifi version of the Tab S2 have an actual GPS chip in it ? I'm interested in using it with Navigon or Waze (when tethered to wifi hotspot)
Thanks !
Tab s2 is a great tablet. I have a 9.7 tab s2 and sometimes it can feel too big. I also owned the tab S 8.4 and loved that little tablet. Depends on what you are going to use your tab for... I would just go with the 9.7 because the 8 will start feeling small. Get a nexus 7 2013 model for $60 bucks and use it as a designated GPS model, that's the route to go.
I'm pretty sure most android tablets have a working gps.

Hi folks,
Does the Honor Note 10 have WiFi calling? I am looking for a large phone to replace my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 which doesn't. If not does anyone know of any other large phones that have it? I'm guessing the Huawei Mate 20 x does but that's a lot of money!
Thanks
Sean
Na, mine doesn't have WiFi calling....
My other phone, Galaxy A70 has it (6.7"). So does my friends Huawei P30 Pro. But these are not large phones. Well not large in the sense we like....
Thanks. I had the Galaxy A70 for a few days but it was still too small for me so I have given it to my son as an early Xmas present.
Know why you mean. I love the 7" size phone. Perfect size as far as I'm concerned...
Hi guys
The preorder is up early morning itself. Place my pre-order for S21 Ultra Phantom Navy (Custom Color) from Samsung Online. Noticed the special note that it will take 3-4 weeks for getting it ready. I hope they deliver sooner than 3-4 weeks.
Whats your choice guys? Model-Color etc.
Thanks.
I've got the Phantom black S21Ultra. Love it! Still wish we got the SD888 version here though.. Not a fan of anything Exynos
Still waiting for Phantom Navy. Samsung shipped the free buds pro yesterday. Phone is not coming for another 2 weeks
