I'm editing my original post. Samsung's lack of innovation lately, specifically with the Galaxy Fold (with the competition pulling ahead in this area), camera issues with the flagship Galaxy S Ultra's, and the Tab S9 FE series not getting AI and the Exynos 1380 under performing compared to Google's tablet and the 10th Gen iPad for a similar price, has me questioning Samsung's motivation or lack there of. I will be selling my Galaxy Tab S9 FE+. The S23 and S24 Ultra cameras are really good, but persistent issues with motion blur and other camera problems should have been resolved with software updates long ago. Sure every company has its issues, but these seem to be a recurring theme with Samsung.  It's rivals seem to be pulling ahead, especially in software. I love Samsung and have been in their eco system for years, but maybe it's time to move on. Growing impatient with Samsung.

It's disheartening your left feeling this way and I do hope you find your way in regards to how you decide to move with Samsung or indeed find another path. 

Either way I wish you all the best @Dmitchell

Interesting comments.

I would like a foldable for my next device but a combination of quality issues and renowned awful customer service mean that if I do it will almost certainly not be a Samsung.

S23 Ultra was / still is probably the best slab mobile device ever from Samsung (others may say Note series perhaps) but the S24 Ultra cameras are simply not there at the moment and maybe never will be.

It is understandable that you are disappointed that the Samsung tablet lacks AI capabilities. However, it is important to note that Apple tablets also do not have AI capabilities.

There are many free AI applications available that can perform a variety of tasks. With a bit of technical knowledge and careful planning, you can select a device that meets your specific needs and preferences.

My three-year-old S21 Ultra was still functioning well, but I decided to upgrade to the S24 Ultra for its AI capabilities, seven years of updates, and attractive pre-order deals.

I am particularly impressed with the quality of photos taken with the S24 Ultra.

Ultimately, the decision of which device to purchase is a personal one, and it is important to consider your individual requirements and budget.

I understand the iPad doesn't have AI capabilities at the moment. My point was I bought the Tab S9 FE Plus because according to all rumours and reports it was going to get AI capabilities. I have the S23 Ultra and the camera is very good, but still lags behind the iPhone and Google when it comes to moving objects. This is a sore point with many people and the S24 Ultra hasn't improved in that area. For the same or less money, the iPad has a superior processor and is better for gaming. Samsung needs to get better.
