I give you less than 2 weeks tops before you're back on the iPhone.
looking forward to reading your thoughts versus an iPad.

my personal preference is Google Keep. I feel it has more availability. You can get Keep on just about any platform and have all of your data synced.
Nice! Yeah with primarily using windows for work I was thinking I could even edit notes during the day on my laptop, which is really convenient.
early impressions the keyboard book case is very nice to type, trackpad is very good as well and function keys are welcome. the fact there is a dex button and al button on the keyboard is great.
for media content this thing is incredibly good. due to the aspec ratio destroys the ipad. As a massive sport fan for NBA and football this will be worth the money for that alone.
the keyboard in terms of size, typing, trackpad is better than the ipad pro keyboard.
just some early impressions so far.
DEX on here is what stage manager should be.
Samsung Notes is feature rich in contrast to the simple nature of Google Keep. You have better integration with the S-Pen... if you plan to use that. It's a matter a matter of preference, can't choose wrong with either one.
But you can always have your data sync via Microsoft and use it alongside One Note... it's kind of clunky, but it works.
Let me make sure I'm understanding you correctly... the keyboard being bigger makes it better than the iPad Pro keyboard?

Yes, so much more comfortable to use. It’s why typing on my Mac OS so much better and partly why I stopped using the Magic Keyboard
I'm confused here... If I'm not mistaken you have the 11 inch iPad Pro and comparing using that to the keyboard on the 14.6" Tab Ultra? Unless I'm missing something here and you had the 13" iPad Pro Magic Keyboard to give it up?
Because I have the 13" iPad Pro Magic Keyboard and using it comfortably, with no issues.
No I’m comparing it from the 13 inch iPad Pro which I no longer have. The keyboard was nice to type on but the trackpad is still smaller, space around the keyboard was limited and quite frankly wasn’t as comfortable as this due to the space. I always felt the space was limited where I rested my hands.
Fair enough, thanks for the clarifications. And yeah the the trackpad is still small compared to the full size we get on the MacBook or Magic Trackpad 2.
But I enjoy using mine daily... can't see myself parting ways with it. But it's unfortunate you had issues given the upgrades to it.

Nice!
I've been tempted.
So far 'slummin it with i7 HP C1030 Elite 2-in-1 16 GB Chromebook for most things and M3 Pro 14" MBP 18GB/1TB for the other ~18%
Both were used purchases that cost ~$1600 out of pocket.
Don’t get me wrong it was still an enjoyable experience I just preferred the Mac typing experience
I use both, but the more important stuff I put in Samsung Notes. I use Google Keep for the more disposable one time notes. Lately, I've been using mostly Samsung Notes.
Previous ultra phones supported 9V, so you needed a 5A cable to get the 45W charging speeds. The New S25U supports 15V, so a 3A cable will give you the 45W charging. It was written on the charger package. People, including the so called "Pro Tech Reviewers" on YouTube are too dumb to relay this. No scam. Just user ignorance.
I thought I read somewhere that the satellite messaging hardware is there on the S25 but not software wise enabled yet ?
