Galaxy tab unit variation

I recently bought two Galaxy tab a9+ tablets.

Both update to the latest oneui7 on mays security update.

While setting both up together side by side, ive noticed a strange difference in what can only think is resolution.

Check out the photo's ive taken and look closely at the default positioning of the the app size slider bar

Also in the other photos you will see how the bottom row of default home apps are spaced out differently on one tab and closer together on the other.

Ive compared both tablets settings...

Font size - same Screen zoom - same

No visual enhancements on.

Really confused and wondering if anyone could shed some light on this ?

I can't tell the difference myself, maybe restart both and see if they're still different? Also check for Galaxy store updates as One UI also gets updates through there

Thanks for your reply.

Just tried restarting with no luck.

You have to look really close at positioning of text comparing each and you can see some lines are slightly different.

Even in settings both tablets left settings panel lined up equally at the top in this new photo you can see one tablet actually displays an extra line at bottom left compared to the other. (Location)

Its not a big deal but i was curious to what might be causing or have caused this, seeing as theyre identical tabs with the same updates and set settings 🤔

Do they have the same model number? And I assume you dont have Good Lock installed

No they both have different model numbers but the same software update version.

Good locks not installed yet totally forgot about that as a tab a9 i setup for a family member previously didnt support it.

Does goodlock work on the tab a9+ ?

Ah right, if they have different specific model numbers they're not quite the same tablet, one might have an ever so slightly different screen regardless of software version. If it's bugging you, you could get the Good Lock app or go in settings to adjust the sizing to make them the same, there is a setting in developer options aswell to adjust the resolution

Good Lock works on pretty much anything as far as I'm aware

Strangely not the 8.7inch tab a9. Someone manage to get it installed somehow but all the internal goodlock apps were grayed out. Not compatible.
