Wow. Thought I was immune to any new tech and then along comes 2 new 8" devices that really caught my attention. This and the boox nova 3. I like the pen solution built into the rugged case.

 

Anyone considering this as a daily driver?
I assume it's similar to the 205 but with updated internals?

 

I bought it 2 weeks ago to replace my SM-P205
It should arrive next week

 

Wasn't one of the weaknesses of the p205 was that it didn't have NFC?

It looks like the GTA3 has it, but the samsung site is cryptic on how you get multipay apps to use it.

 

The main differences for me :
- 4gb instead of 3, means more app at the same time
- finger print reader
- NFC
- flash light
This four points are really big limitations of the P205, even if I like my P205.

And the fact that I can use the tablet and the pen in my bath or when raining, without any risk, is a plus,

 

I hope you could review it for us
I was thinking of getting a Fold 3, but the Fold 2 screen durability seems to leave a lot to be desired. So maybe a GTA3 is a more practical (and much cheaper!) solution.
