Owners are mostly thrilled with the S11, praising its fast, lag-free performance, the gorgeous AMOLED display, and noticeably better color accuracy and S-Pen than past models. The most common gripes are the thin selection of decent accessories and a keyboard that feels like a step down and gets awkward to flip around. Several also wrestle with size: the big Ultra can feel bulky to carry, while a few who chose the smaller model wish they had more screen.

“The S11 is new, but no complaints so far. Its magnetic docking is perhaps a bit too strong but it doesn't interfere with anything, and that's better than being too weak.”

“I travel with a tab s11 and for me it's the perfect size. At times I run into the screen being too small, but it fits everywhere which is really nice, and I really don't mind the small screen 80% of the time.”
