The FE is a scaled back less powerful iteration of their flagship Galaxy S series. I got the Tab s9 just before Christmas. They also do FE version of the S series phones. Reducing the SOC speed or amount of cores and usually removing the OLED screen for a cheaper LCD screen with lower resolution.

I'm moving from an S7 that's not supported with updates any longer which still works perfectly fine to an S9 FE Plus, so I think it maybe a downgrade in GPU performance? But I don't play games on it so I'm hoping it won't be an issue for me because I gain on memory, screen quality and size and battery life. I decided to buy it because it was on offer at Very and I got 6.8% cash back on it from Topcashback.

Re: What have you just bought?
I moved from a Tab S6 which died to the S9, decided against the S10 due to them no longer using Snapdragon SoCs.
This link should hopefully work. Comparing the S7 to the S9 FE

I'll get the tablet tomorrow hopefully if I am back from work to sign for it as long as everything is smooth and not sluggish I'll be happy, although the screen refresh has dropped from 120 to 90 but I'm hoping I won't notice that too much.
Edit
Looks like the S7 GPU is still alot better, but hopefully for general usage it'll be fine.

Re: What have you just bought?
I ordered a replacement power supply for a neighbour's battery-powered mower from Amazon at 11 this morning. They say it will be delivered TODAY.

Re: What have you just bought?
Four pairs of specs - two for driving/TV & films, and two for reading/computer screen/tablet (I like to have a spare pair of each).
Ouch…

Check out the prices in the ASDA opticians. I recently had 2 pairs of lightweight varifocals with all the coatings for under £90. A pair of Screen specs only cost £32.

Re: What have you just bought?
I bought some Audi car badges and interior carbon fibre look Air Vent covers from AliExpress, shockingly very high quality which also included free shipping, the whole transaction was less than £10 and if I had been able to purchase the same items from eBay or Amazon I would have been looking at £30 easily.
I also bought some PS5 Pro Black Plates for £15 a while ago and they got delivered in only 4 days and free shipping. I've heard people knock AliExpress but so far in my experience that place is fantastic.
