What?! I've been using a 2015 Tab A 8 inch with pen, and hated the lackluster 16 GB of storage, considering that Samsung and LG seem to intentionally remove the Android "format as internal storage" feature. I then switched to a Yoga Tab 3 Pro, which is a great tablet, but with a buggy UX (look at reviews of the Phab 2 Pro if you want to see how bad it is), and I can't handle large tablets, so the handle helped, but it lacks pen features.

I now would like to get the new Tab A when it eventually shows up in Samsung stores here, as I now know of a hack in order to access the "format as internal storage" feature over USB debugging, assuming it's possible with One UI.
