According to our tablet expert
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e packs entertainment in a stylish tablet. The S5e is only 5.5 millimeters thick and is therefore elegant and easy to hold when reading on the couch. The tablet has thin screen edges, giving you extra enjoyment of your favorite series on the 10.5-inch Super Amoled screen. Thanks to the 4 built-in speakers, the sound of the Galaxy Tab is lifelike. Playing games all day is no problem. The large 7040 mAh battery lasts 14.5 hours. You save your apps, games and downloaded movies on the 128 GB memory.

I've had the S5e for a month now and I'm extremely satisfied with it. The screen is really fantastic. A high resolution, an enormous brightness so that the tablet can also be used in the garden in daylight and nice and large with small edges around the screen. The sound is also really great for such a flat tablet. My external bluetooth speaker is used less since I got this tablet.
In addition, the biggest plus in choosing this tablet is the weight. You can really sit on the couch for hours with the tablet without it feeling uncomfortable. Even with a cover, the tablet is lighter than the iPad 4 I had before. Because I have used an iPad for years to great satisfaction, I doubted very much between the iPad 2018 with 128GB (€423,-) and this tablet. I thought the iPad 2019 was a bit too expensive. Personally, I thought the iPad 2018 looked too dated and I missed the option to expand the memory even further. There are also only 2 speakers in the iPad compared to 4 in this s5e. I don't have much to say about battery life. I don't make it to the advertised 14 hours but that's not surprising with everything I do with the device.
If you read reviews about the s5e, there are generally 3 things indicated as negatives;
A relatively slow processor for a 2019 tablet I use the tablet daily for surfing, e-mailing and especially streaming videos. The tablet responds wonderfully quickly and I have not experienced any problems with any app. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on game performance. As a phone I use a Samsung Galaxy s8. This was the top model from two years ago. I can say with certainty that this tablet is more responsive than my S8.
No 3.5mm headphone jack Personally I don't miss this but this is different for everyone.
If you hold the tablet in landscape position and you place your hand over the bottom left corner of the tablet, the WiFi signal of the tablet may temporarily weaken. I have also experienced this (if you hold the palm over the lower left corner in landscape orientation, a line fell away from the WiFi signal in my home), but I have not noticed any degradation in performance. My Tele2 modem is on the ground floor and I can use the tablet in the attic without any problems. Even if I block the WiFi signal with my palm, I can stream content without any problems.
As a personal fourth flaw, I must mention the placement of the fingerprint scanner. This works very quickly but the spot is difficult to reach blind. Especially if you use the tablet in both portrait and landscape mode, it is difficult to immediately place your finger in the right place so that the finger is scanned without any problems. Still, I would have preferred a front-facing scanner or a more reliable unlocking method than the s5e's iris scanner.
All in all, I can recommend the tablet to everyone. If you are an Apple user and you doubt like me to switch, you will certainly not be disappointed as long as you are open to Android.

Long doubted whether this should be it or not, apple pro was recommended to me, for a portable device a windows 2 in 1 would also be a good alternative. Still opted for this ultra thin S5e tablet. Keyboard case ordered, which also provides access to Samsung DeX. This gives you a kind of Windows experience on a tablet. Perfect companion to perform light administrative tasks. (mouse not included). Seen in technical reviews that the bend test is somewhat dangerous. This must be taken into account when packing.
