I literally don't understand who would get this instead of an iPad. Even the entry level iPad is a better value, and costs almost half as this.
You can like Galaxy phones and prefer them to iPhone, but I don't see how anyone would think this is better than iPad.
People that don’t want an iOS tablet will buy it or maybe people that have Samsung phones and want a Samsung tablet.
If you want to connect a mouse to your tablet, be able to connect external drives. Via the usb C port or prefer the S pen over the Apple Pencil because of its features. Those people will buy. Or those who want to use their tablet in a desktop interface.
It won’t sell anywhere near as well as any of the iPads, even the budget one. However it’s good that there are still a options out there for people who want an android tablet.

This is more of a copycat or the iPad ...
bezel size,
keyboard case,
BT Mouse connection - ok maybe in variety they may have Apple beat; for now.
Just another tablet in their plentiful plethora of tablets that get ignored for feature updates and security updates after the first 6mths. Don't worry Samsung consumers, you can always buy the next model to alleviate all your security woahs.

Well Apple had them pay for the 'organ grinder' so now they can
lol
Samsung have has keyboard cases for years before the iPad Pro ever came out.
I had a galaxy tab 2 10.1 in 2012 and it had a Samsung made Keyboard case.

Exactly!
At that price, I can get a windows laptop/tablet/or some kind of combo/switcheroo type of device. Not that this isn't a nice tablet, but it's really trying to do too much: going beyond the tablet, and not enough: being a tablet.
Besides, any word if it runs Chrome OS or just a modded version of Android? It's time for Google and other Android tablet makers to just leave Android for smartphones and watches and put Chrome OS on their tablets.
And make them great tablets.
You could say the same about the iPad Pro. I could have got a windows laptop or MacBook Air for the same price I paid for my iPad Pro and the keyboard and the pencil. Yet I didn’t want any of those devices.

Universal like ignorance.
To make it clear for you: in case of iPad there is something to be affected, i.e. performance. What we can not say about the Android tablets in question that don't get an update for years, thus becoming unusable - amongst others - because of the incompatibility of applications.
It takes years for apps to become incompatible due to lack of software updates. It would take about 4-5 years. The issue is whether you get value for your money if you only get one software update and you’ve spent £600/$650.

The tablets in question ran Gingerbread (2.3). Applications either updated, but would not run under 2.3 or could not be updated at all because of OS incompatibility.
When the most important applications were affected in the manner described above time came to give up on the tablets.

There was no intention to explain to you anything, but to point out the irrelevance of a statement.
This is on OS from 2011. Even early iPhones and iPads were not great in terms of OS updates and app compatibility going forward.
The point is app incompatibility is not really a consequence of a lack of software updates. I would see security and value for money as more important issues.

tech companies don't understand that its software is where its at not hardware. People use Macs for OS X, they like the iPhone because of iOS. People who will never abandon the Windows platform are probably PRO Office Users.
I will not use data mining, security flawed, Google's Android.
Some people use windows because they think it is more versatile and better value for money. I wouldn’t use windows but there are many non pro users who are happy using it.
ios is my phone and tablet OS of choice but most of the world are using android, most of them due to its cost but some actually prefer it.
