Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
The 9.7-inch display has a 2048 × 1280 resolution and refreshes at up to 120 Hz, making it a good fit for videos, reading and studying. Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 is capable of browsing, messaging and everyday apps. The tablet has a 7600 mAh battery and 18 W charging.
The 9.7-inch display strikes a useful balance between portability and reading space. The body weighs around 400 g, and UFS 2.2 storage is a more practical choice than slow eMMC for everyday use.
Stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm socket give you a choice between listening aloud and using ordinary wired headphones. A microSD card provides extra room for downloaded films, photos and documents without filling the internal storage.
The LTE version can go online over a mobile network without tethering to a phone. That is useful when travelling or working away from home, provided you have a suitable plan and coverage.
How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?
Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing.
