Hi, I would love it if Samsung made a mini tab like an iPad mini. Sometimes the tab is too big and the cell is too small.

Hmm, didn't the iPad Mini bomb? I use a tab A9 plus it's the perfect size and I don't need all the bells and whistles of the tablet that cost $800 more when I can get the same capabilities on my s24 ultra.

I don't mean the specifications of the iPad mini. I'm referring to the size because, uh for me, I type a lot on my phone and sometimes my phone's too small. And then my tab is too big to lift. It's heavy for prolonged taping. Yeah, I could put it on the table, but sometimes I don't kn. I'm not able to put it on a table.

I found this on Temu for about $40 and it's the best tablet holder I've ever had! I can use it sitting on the couch, laying on the couch, laying in bed, or even if I'm sitting at a desk and I need it above my keyboard! The best thing is that you can adjust the height.7Jz744OP6o.jpg

Thank you, but I don't need a holder. I travel in my city alot. I need a tab small enough to hold in one hand to use as a modern typewriter.

That’s a great suggestion — and one a lot of users would likely agree with.

Samsung doesn’t currently have a direct equivalent to the iPad mini in its Galaxy Tab lineup, which leaves a clear gap between their larger tablets (like the Tab S9 series) and their phones. Something in that 7.9 to 8.3-inch range — with S Pen support, DeX capability, and premium screen quality — would hit a sweet spot for many users who find phones too cramped and full-size tablets too bulky.

Here’s why your idea makes sense:

Portability: Easy to carry and hold with one hand — great for reading, light editing, journaling, or media on the go

Productivity Boost: Just big enough for multitasking without dragging out a full-size device

Content Creation: Perfect for sketching, writing, streaming, or managing social platforms

Gaming and Live Streaming: Big enough for immersion, small enough not to be a burden

What You Can Do to Help Make It Happen

Submit a suggestion in the Samsung Members app:
Go to Samsung Members > Get Help > Suggestions, and request a ā€œGalaxy Tab Miniā€ or 8-inch S Pen tablet with flagship features

Mention what you said here: phones are too small, tablets too big — there’s a missing middle

If you want, I can help you write a formal product feedback request

In the meantime, the closest Samsung has made in recent years was the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, but it lacked flagship features. A modern Galaxy Tab Mini Ultra or S9 Mini would definitely fill a real-world gap.

Let me know if you’d like a mock spec sheet or concept outline — Samsung does listen when enough voices request it.
