Highlights

First key point from transcript

Second major finding highlighted

Notable contribution mentioned here

Transcripts

another unboxing from books thank you so

much to books for sending this out so

that I can make this unboxing video and

a full review after using it at work to

say that I'm excited about this one is a

bit of an understatement because I do

really like

I do really like using the large screen

eating tablets that are out there that

I've used before

and I have really enjoyed using the tab

Ultra which is the latest in the 10.3

range and what they added to the tab

Ultra was a GPU as well as a keyboard

okay so this is a tab X which is branded

slightly different to previous books

devices because this now says books make

a difference rather than like a tablet

unlike any tablet I think they thought

that the GPU works so well in the tab

Ultra you might as well put it in the

max Lumi 3 that they were planning

and so we got this the tab X and I

suppose the x is where it links back to

that Max and Max Lumi branding here it

is let's have a look they have gone for

this new books branded took me a while

to work out this was b double o x this

pattern books

always really nicely packaged

always a nice unboxing experience

[Music]

now it seems

certainly these flagship

books tablets are coming with the pen 2

Pro brilliant

[Music]

although here's another example of where

it just seems they've upgraded the max

Lumi which didn't have the magnetic snap

they've been near pen which does have

the magnetics now maybe just a little

bit more thought could have gone into

but who's complaining you've got the

premium pen and you've got the

documentation

interestingly on this little tab it says

the 13.3 inch Series so that is an

interesting distinction that they've

been making because something I've not

heard them discuss it as the 13.3 inch

series before and that is one thing you

get used to with books their names

aren't always

logical wow

this is really really nice

from the Lumi line gone is the home

button the previous generation of Lumi

the Lumi 2 did get rid of the HDMI port

on the back there which is something

that people didn't like they've got the

USBC port at the back which can do OTG I

have accidentally touched the uh on

button which is on the top because I did

that which is great so it's booting up

now so I think the 13.3 inch is always

going to be where the people who are

inclined towards productivity are going

to go and the GPU does make a difference

in terms of productivity apps it does

mean that the device when it's enabled

with the GPU can handle third-party apps

that a little bit better

[Music]

I like the fact that now you can just

have a normal navigation bar and this

one is most like what I'm used to you

get your earing Center refresh recent

home and back it just means I don't need

to remember all the gestures from books

when I'm going from one Android device

to another so I do hope that we'll see a

13 0.3 inch maybe tab X Ultra in the

future because that would really suit me

I think that this size if it had its own

keyboard case

would be what they are advertising this

as being this size would be an actual

tablet PC so I know that I'm already

going to love this I'm really excited to

be tested this out for work for the next

two weeks or more if you're uninitiated

on books and what they're all about then

the standout benefits are that you get

full Google play so you get access to

the full Google Play Store that way you

can use any Android app at all also

however there is great reading and

note-taking apps as well and I'll show

off those as well and so books is the

one you want to go for if you know you

want to do more on e-ink and another one

big reason why that is is because they

give you access to these different

screen mode if you're used to the Kindle

or you've looked at remarkable you don't

have any control over how the screen

behaves how it behaves is just how

they've set it up to behave and it works

just fine with their own apps when you

get into using third-party apps then you

need to have these options and the GPU

allows these four different options the

HD mode we get this beautiful crisp

screen the balance mode where you can

see a slight loss in details some slight

ghost thing and ghosting is that eating

sometimes leaves a little imprint of

what it previously showed when it just

refreshes part of a screen or fast mode

which now will go to much higher frames

per second but you will lose some detail

and you will get some more ghosting but

that's better for things like browsing a

web page and now they've added the ultra

fast modes with this gpus and that

actually you do get more detail loss but

really you can you can watch videos on

this thing there's also DPI settings

what the DPI setting does is it changes

the sort of effective DPI of the app and

what it's showing so it can essentially

change the scaling of the app I'm going

to leave that initially on at 207 and

207 is the native DPI of the screen so

that will just allow things to scale to

this size because as you can perhaps see

the little app icons are really big on

the screen because it is a interface

that they've designed for a smaller

tablet and I think that's one question

that Voya raised really was that they

should be redesigning user interface for

the larger screen and you also get dark

color to contrast essentially

enhancement like Curry Hansen

enhancement to allow you to optimize the

screen for third-party apps the default

apps the first party the books apps

always run brilliantly on the ink but

for third-party apps it's brilliant to

have these customizations another thing

about books that you should know is that

they aren't always easy to use because

they can do so much more they're very

complex devices and because they're

quite uncommitted really to giving you

updates as quickly as they can and add

features that competitors have or that

people suggest that they have and there

is a really good way to give that quick

feedback through the settings and they

actually work on those suggestions

really quite quickly so they add

features very quickly but it doesn't

mean that the menus are quite complex

and that can make it difficult to just

do some slightly simple things it's the

type of devices that you should look at

and go for if you're used to working

with technology and you're used to

understanding complex Tech and if you're

happy on Android you may be using

Android phone you'll be happy on books

tablets as well so it's talking about

individual app optimization and the nice

thing is once you've set an apple

optimization it will remember your

preferences for that app optimization so

I'll go ahead and get this all set up

and signed in and everything like that

but just really quickly I'll just put it

side by side with the first the max Lumi

I think it is ever so slightly thinner

sure I've read this somewhere yeah you

can perhaps just see the actual

container seems to be the same Fitness

but the max Lumi actually the screen

stands a good millimeter sort of proud

of that and that's meant that the whole

books tabx is a tiny bit thinner than

the max Lumi which is nice the

processors are all upgraded everything

seems to be quite upgraded about the

maximum I'm going to take off this this

screen protector

because otherwise it wouldn't be a fair

comparison with the max Lumi but there

you are you can see side by side there

essentially exactly the same size they

are the same size the home button's gone

they've added this little bit of books

branding

down the bottom there which is welcome

it just makes it a tiny bit more stylish

I suppose you can see the home screen is

now totally different so the older books

devices have this home screen where

you've just got apps and Library up the

side here and now the home screen is

what I would consider to be a normal

Android home screen but let's just go

into the notepad for both a slight

different color to the two

add anything iPad in here

[Music]

yeah it's a textured kind of screen but

it's not massively a paper-like screen

and I'm not seeing much difference there

in terms of the screen feel to

[Music]

yeah I think you can see

we won't see it much on this video

because only 25 frames per second but

you can see a tiny bit less lag here on

the tab X I'm not sure it's really

as good as the

tab Ultra in terms of its screen speed

in a slight bit of yeah it does on both

it's always a bit funny if you get a

funny end of the line like this the max

Lumi I certainly wouldn't kick it out of

bed it certainly is still a fantastic

device as well but I have absolutely

loved you using the max limit

and I'm sure I'm gonna love using the

tab X but I also loved using the tab

Ultra and one thing that I've Loved

using on the tab Ultra is the keyboard

case am I going to miss that let's just

see if there's a notable difference in

speed between the tap Ultra and the tabx

foreign

[Music]

not that I'm going to notice with the

naked eye or with the 25 frames per

second video I think you can maybe just

see that it's sort of in this

it's updating and it's sort of more like

an area as that comes across there

if I show you a still from each you

might just see something there

and the keyboard guys made it very

natural to use this around things like

email and other productivity tasks so

I'm interested to know whether I'm still

going to be Keen to use the tabx for

those tasks given that if I wanted to do

it on a keyboard I'd have to pair a

Bluetooth keyboard I don't think I'm

going to do that every time I want to

type something I'm just going to rely on

the laptop probably and another

interesting thing is that ink is always

renowned for amazing battery life and

that's certainly impacted by the GPU the

question is how much is it impacted by

the GPU and it'll also be interesting to

know how much use I get out of the split

screen which is amazing when you get to

this size of the device because there is

absolutely no doubt this size of device

is geared towards productivity and when

you have essentially an A4 screen which

you can have two half screens two A5

screens essentially next to each other

then there's no doubt that this is going

to be beneficial for productivity tasks

so I'll get it set up and I'll let you

know my first thoughts after just a few

days and I'll be back with a full after

two weeks using it work full review of

this to us

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

so I've been using the tubex for a few

days now and I've had the chance to do

my planning for the next Fortnight on it

and I've had the chance to go ahead and

do a drawing on it as well and I can

tell you

that I'm quite impressed so far and I'm

going to go ahead and give you my sort

of opinions on it this is one thing I

did find whilst I was drawing is that

when you've got a lot of brush Strokes

it does this I'm rendering a lot at the

minute you know please wait and I would

really love to see books come with a

dedicated drawing app so we could really

get the best out of drawing on this

amazing tablet because drawing at this

large size on this wonderful screen with

the excellent books brush tools it's

fantastic but clearly it this is a Notes

app which is optimized for taking notes

rather than for drawing and I'd love to

see books actually come with their own

dedicated drawing app because they do a

great job of that but I'm going to talk

more about eating for drawing in other

videos and today I'm just going to talk

through my first thoughts after using it

for a little while so the first question

is this is only 207 DPI and are you

missing out and I think the answer is no

because you're actually comfortably

reading this from a server distance away

from the screen and so it's not so

noticeable 207 DPI is good enough so

generally at this sort of distance be

undiscernable to the naked eye it's fine

the one thing I did notice when I was

setting up and I've just set up a

different Android tablet that asked me

if I wanted to pull down all of my

details from Google and you know

essentially if you buy a new phone what

happens with Android is it says do you

want to sync all of your contacts all of

your apps and everything like that and

actually I think there is a middle

ground really that books could actually

look at doing letting you think a little

bit more to a book's tablet to make it

more like wow I'm straight at home I've

got all of my apps with all of my data

and that's an interesting Avenue for

books to think about exploring whether

or not they'd have to release their

source code to allow Google to let them

do that I don't know an interesting

point is when I first booted this up I

could actually feel where the GPU is it

is actually a little bit warmer just

here and I've got some shots of this on

my infrared camera which actually show

that this area does get warmer and I

want to compare that really to the book

Max Lumi and see if that is clearly

notable because the GPU we think is

making this line of tablets the tab line

of tablets actually have a worse battery

life than the ordinary books line of

tablets it could be where the GPU is it

could be where the CPU is but certainly

this area gets actually no too warmer

not like hot noticeably warmer and that

means that it's using a lot of energy

and it actually knows to be warmer just

now so I do think maybe just as I was

downloading new app from the App Store

and it was really running that CPU quite

high but actually even now just having

booted up and doing this bit it's

already doing that the interesting point

the Voya made about the scaling now

actually these icons look too big on

this screen because these icons and this

whole layout was made for the tab Ultra

we don't need them this big on this huge

screen we need them to be scaled to

actually make more use of this extra

screen real estate but I also pointed

out that look the the text here is

getting cut off and I do think that they

should look at doing an update to allow

me to have double the number of apps

shown on this home screen please more

details and certainly not having this

point with some text cut off for

instance there was just a space on the

home page where the camera app had been

on the tab Ultra so they're not

obviously putting a camera app or a

scanning app and they just left the

space there but then a lot of the time

I'm going to use this in split screen so

they also need to get the scaling right

in split screen mode which then it does

look fine so when you're in split screen

mode now these apps do look the right

size and actually so does this text over

here as well and this if you're going to

buy a big device like this you're going

to use it a lot on split screen this is

where I'm going to spend a lot of My

Time handwriting recognition is

absolutely on point now across the

device so wherever you are on the device

the handwriting recognition is actually

excellent

I just didn't want to show that that is

absolutely weird so what's going on

there

[Music]

maybe that's another point about this

sort of scaling up to this larger size

not a deal breaker in the slightest bit

lots of useful settings as well

foreign

[Music]

recognition is it's useful for you to

learn how it likes to see characters so

the way I do my exes is Curly X's sort

of math script X's then it doesn't

really like that and of course if you

don't like the books keyboard you can

download the Google gboard or any input

method of your choice from Android so

there's so much of an ability to

customize the input to what you want I

used to recommend that's the first thing

you should install on a books tablet but

actually they've improved the book's

keyboard to the point where I actually

use the books keyboard now a question

about this sort of size of devices is it

going to be too heavy surprisingly no

not really you know it is obviously

heavier than a smaller tablet but it

isn't too heavy by some distance it's

it's a nice sort of weight for its size

the interesting thing I didn't know this

before but actually lots of things you

can actually hover over with the pen so

you can see you can sort of half press

things and sometimes that brings up menu

so for instance in Google drive to where

I've maybe got something with longer

titles just by hovering over the pen

actually bring you that kind of half

Press menu which is a useful thing to

know that this technology can actually

do I don't know if other ink tablets do

that certainly something that I haven't

used before on others so yes I did some

drawing on it I've shown that at the

start here as well I'll play a little

bit of a time lapse why not

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

it is really really good for drawing

it's a bit surprised when I got the end

of this kind of buffer and it did this

large rendering and there was a bit of a

delay there but that's absolutely fine

it would be better for drawing if they

could iron that out because well it's

not something you see on an iPad or

other Android tablet are doing that in a

dedicated drawing app so that's what I

want to do next one absolute joy and

perhaps you're considering this or

something like a Kindle we'll be reading

a Kindle book or reading any book of

course but with side by side mode and

notebook you can read a Kindle book on

this side and you can take notes on a

full A5 size Note Paper on this side I

mean that is absolutely Splendid

depending on the type of reading that

you want to do this might blow the

Kindle scribe out of the water as an

option so let me know what demos you

want I'm going to do a tabx versus Lumi

side by side video coming soon and I'm

going to do a tabax versus Tab Ultra

side by side let me know what demos you

want to see on this and what comparisons

you want to see me make I'm also

interested in doing this drawing in

London you know maybe going to an art

gallery and actually working with the

tablets in the art galleries and doing

some nice drawings and seeing what they

can really do I just want to point out

something about the pencil now having

tilt that's great I'm absolutely made up

that it has tilt but it doesn't have

much of a range of tone with pressure a

little bit not a great deal it's not as

easy to arrange the tone for the very

very light tones at least as it is on

the remarkable or the Kindle scribe

however unlike the remarkable and the

Kindle scribe you do have in the pencil

tool different Shades of Gray so for the

very light tones

you can use the lighter gray

and that can give you a nice drawing

effect as well but it doesn't sort of

put down less graphite it's just a

lighter toned graphite so it can still

work really really well but it doesn't

have the Tilt doesn't have the

sophistication of the Kindle scribe tool

or the remarkable pencil tool either

it's good though my very first thoughts

on this I'm absolutely loving being back

to planning and working at this full

size on ink

and I am loving drawing at this full

size as well I'm really pleased with the

the case again they're going for these

nice green tones this nice professional

looking notebook here I'm excited to be

once again working on a full A4 sized in

tablet it's fantastic if you've never

tried that out I think yes it costs a

lot it's worth it I'm gonna miss the

keyboard case I do wish they bought a

keyboard case out with this one I'm

hopeful that'll be in a future A4 tablet

from books but I'll be relying on the

handwriting input and the voice

recognition which are excellent on books

as well stay tuned for the full review

Once I have used this for those two

weeks and I'll be back with my full I

really thought out thoughts on this

device
