Tablets@Dennycrane Thanks for posting your communication with the Uk/Ireland CEO, though suspected the 256GB version of the Tab S7 plus was not going to be available in the short term. It is the case that some versions of products are not always universally available in all markets though. Uncertainty on trade may be a factor but some European markets though expected to as badly hit economically by Covid-19 as Uk, ultimately Business decision and could be a few reasons.

TabletsYes I did check a few European countries including Spain so short term economic outlook may not be only factor. Latest 0ECD figures for first six months released shows the contraction in GDP only marginally worse in Spain (-22.7% compared to -22.1 in Uk) In April- June period UK slump at 20.4 % was around 6 points worse than Spain.

Tabletsyes I have checked out Turkey's stats and certainly Uk Disposable Income higher than some European countries. Other factors may be at play.
As for your question I am also a Samsung customer and fan but have the status of Superuser on the Community. Superusers are not employed by Samsung or affiliates but basically volunteers who send some of their time assisting customers and engage with the Community.

Tablets@Dennycrane It is fine. I agree that that the 6 GB Ram is disappointing (when I have for instance 8 GB in my S10) , however would imagine that with the powerful SnapDragon 865 + Processor should not be too much of an issue for many users.

Hi @arunvai As far as Samsung warranty goes:
Consumers who are using a product in a country in the European Economic Area and Switzerland (“Europe”) which was first purchased in another country in Europe can obtain warranty services. The period of the warranty and the warranty service provided will be those of the country in Europe where the warranty claim is made. "
Uk information here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/warranty/ Think though if purchasing from Amazon they would be your first port of call, Eu have 2 year minimum guarantee https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/shopping-consumer-rights/index_en.htm#fault... However the Uk will not be in the European Economic area after the transition period ends (presumably at end of 2020) Some Uncertainty afterwards and this from the which guide :
All the same consumer rights still apply to goods and services bought from retailers based in the EU during the transition period. When you shop online, read the terms and conditions to see what governing law applies, as you won't be protected in the same way as if you bought from a UK retailer. If you're buying from a marketplace, be aware that sellers can be from all over the EU. https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/how-will-brexit-affect-my-consumer-rights#how-does-br...
A lot of our laws are the same as other EU countries, but the right to get a refund after 30 days for a faulty product is UK specific.

TabletsTBH
I was interested in possibly upgrading from the S6 to the S7+, but the drop in specs put a stop to that, and even though Samsung will offer €300 on trade in, I could get more than that even from the likes of CEX with the included keyboard cover, never mind private sale.
Certainly would be considering going to Amazon.de if I went that route but very much 50/50 on the upgrade idea.

TabletsWhy would you release a tablet to compete with the iPad Pro and withhold the top spec model? It makes zero sense. I was considering both tablets but not being able to get the faster tablet with more storage has made my decision easy and I will be getting an iPad Pro.
Very poor from Samsung.

TabletsIf this video is correct, the 256GB and 512GB versions might be faster?
See from 2min 17s
I can't find anything to verify this though, anyone know?
23-08-2020 05:44 PM in
TabletsIt will be. More ram and also if you compare the onboard storage its going to be faster. As soon as you go beyond the 128gb storage, anything stored on an sd card is going to suffer significantly slower read write times to that of the onboard storage.
So basically if you're in the UK market and want the best tablet money can buy, the iPad pro is still the only option.

TabletsDepends to an extent on the quality of the SD card but primary storage will certainly be faster, even with the premium cards.
