Hi All,

I am giving up on my Lenovo P10, its the worst device I have ever owned, constantly crashing with zwift and most other apps.

so I am now thinking about buying a samsung S7 or an S6 lite. I just wanted to confirm that zwift will run fine on either of these Tabs, reading everything its not that clear.

I found a solution, it turns out my several year old laptop has a dedicated graphics card and runs zwift really well. Time to get the bacon dripping on a regular basis!

Despite your having found a solution that works for you Clive (I love it when old hardware comes to the rescue), I thought I would chime in and say that Zwift is mostly working for me on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with 64Gb. The graphics are plenty snappy.

I say “mostly working” because I am having a problem when I minimize the Zwift app to go watch a movie on Netflix or YouTube instead of staring at the Zwift UI full-time. The elapsed timer and other data logging freezes at the time when I minimized the app, and I don’t get credit for kilometers ridden. Oddly, though, the elapsed time in that particular segment of my workout does continue ticking along. But this is an issue for another post.

It also works fine and very fluid on Galaxy Tab S7+. However, I expected even better graphics because of the newer processor of that tablet. I think the developers can improve this.

You shouldn’t need to minimise zwift to watch netflix. Open netflix first and it will window when you minimise it, then open zwift.

Thanks, Gordon. I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even consider changing the order of app instantiation.
