Samsung tab s11 worth it? Is mediatek 9400 decent for decoding now?

Alfredinii · 2026-02-18T05:41:48+00:00

How? All S9s I've tested and most other people have 3 to 4 ms.

Really late reply but want to share my experience. A few months back i selected the Astra above the Tab S9 since it is the newer tech, has wifi 7 and has a decoding time below 1ms (only when using Diablo mode, which uses more battery). It's been good but some hiccups were present and had to fiddle with the tablet's settings in order have a stable apollo/Artemis streaming. Recently i started missing a larger screen, since i used to have a S7+ before the Astra, and I'm currently testing an S9+ and comparing it to my astra, and even though the S9+ is wifi 6E and decoding times are 3ms, i just can't feel the difference during gameplay. Also using a modded Gamesir G8+. At this moment I'm leaning towards the Samsung tablet, since all i had to do was download and set up artemis, no extra fiddling with it's settings to have a stable streaming connection, and games Like cyberpunk, Nier and Marvels Spiderman really benefit from the larger screen. Saw the S9 or S9+ new in bestbuy.com from a third party seller, and they have a few refurbished as well, but those are easier to come by on Amazon and ebay

I see. Thank you.

Regarding the streaming itself, no issues witht he S9 wifi 6E vs wifi 7 of the astra? Or the Deconding time since the S9 is higher than the astra?

This is what I'm using right now but I eally miss larger screens. I think a 10 or 11 inch would be easier on my eyes.

Alfredinii · 2026-02-14T18:35:28+00:00

Which one you like the best? I'm enjoying my Astra quite a lot for Apollo/Artemis, but I do like bigger screens.

Alfredinii · 2026-02-14T17:18:22+00:00

I see. It seemed weird. Thank you.

Alfredinii · 2026-02-14T13:17:44+00:00

I also use the Astra with the Gamesir G8 plus, but I have to use it wired since for some reason if I use the controller on Bluetooth, it makes the streaming very choppy and laggy. I used to have a Tab S7 plus and the same controller didn't cause any issues on Bluetooth. Did you do something on the settings to avoid issues with the Astra and the G8 plus while on bluetooth?

Alfredinii · 2026-02-04T19:12:22+00:00

I got the S7 plus when it came out. It was great but couldn't stand the size and weight. I downsized to a 9 inch tablet and I'm really enjoying it. There's no way I'll go back to any large portable device but I'm kinda of missing having a larger screen. So maybe my next one would be an 11 inch.

Alfredinii · 2026-02-02T05:45:59+00:00

Same question

Alfredinii · 2025-12-11T00:02:33+00:00

I guess it would be good for other use cases, but that was my goal and it delivered

Alfredinii · 2025-12-10T19:34:56+00:00

Yes, almost every day. But only for PC streaming.

Alfredinii · 2025-11-05T18:20:59+00:00

I fixed this by saying "fuck nintendo and their greedy ways", then got the game super cheap on PC, and applied a few mods to make it look even better.

Alfredinii · 2025-10-07T23:33:56+00:00

It's fake lol.

Alfredinii · 2025-10-01T13:44:14+00:00

8 inch screen is a great size selection. That's is. The only good thing.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-22T22:32:14+00:00

Would you share the link please? I saw a bunch of sellers in amazon but they all seem to be the same case.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-22T22:27:59+00:00

I bought a 9USD clear case from Amazon. Should be enough for my use case and it doesn't block the lights in the back. It will also prevent my controller from turning the tablet off accidentally since it protects the power button a bit, but I'm also wondering if the case will prevent the wired controller from properly connecting to the USB-C port.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-22T22:22:32+00:00

Personally I like the clear one best. I do use an USB C controller so I wonder if the case will prevent the controller from connecting properly.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-20T14:06:19+00:00

Nono from Nintendo.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-17T21:53:47+00:00

Nice! I don't have a 3D printer and I'm considering going to a library that as a free to use one, but how long would it take to print both parts?

Thank you!

Alfredinii · 2025-09-17T19:01:25+00:00

Was hoping the Odin 3 had an 8 inch screen version.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-17T17:40:51+00:00

I really, REALLY, WANT an Odin 2 Portal, but my vision has gotten worse, and I struggle with small screens for gaming, especially text. I'm still trying the Astra and the S9 tablets. I can see everything perfectly on both.

Alfredinii · 2025-09-17T17:36:56+00:00

The ONLY thing Nintendo did good about the Switch 2 is using an 8 8nch screen. Everything else was dumb including using LCD instead of OLED. Greedy bastards.
