Frequently Asked Questions
Is the S Pen really included?
Yes, Samsung includes the S Pen in the box at no extra cost, unlike Apple which charges separately for the Pencil.
Can it replace a laptop?
With Samsung DeX and a keyboard cover, it handles email, documents, and web browsing well. But it can't fully replace a laptop for complex tasks.
How is the display for media?
Outstanding. The 12.4-inch AMOLED with HDR10+ is one of the best screens for watching movies and reading.
