Not quite sure about the On by default aspect; on my non-Google phone running stock android, it keeps asking me to enable RCS.

I keep clicking no because there’s a lot of ads pushed through RCS. This is annoying on top of the usual telemarketing stuff you might get due to phone numbers being sold.

Being in a highly technical field I agree with you in wondering the point of tablets, but I am seeing a couple of people in the local transport use it as a replacement for pen-paper with an added advantage of collaboration on a document with multiple people.

I’m not bothered to check, but tablets might be cheaper than 2-in-1 or otherwise touchscreen PC laptops.

Is this supposed to be a colourful e-ink display?

Is the Asus Zenfone available in your region ? If yes, its a pretty compact and feature rich phone.
