Nice workhorse tablet
I finally upgraded my circa 2018 Galaxy Tab A to this. The Tab A and this one represent lower tier Galaxy tablets, meaning that they were not the flagship models. This one does everything I want. That said, my needs are relatively simple: mostly web browsing, and streaming movies from Netflix and Prime. Things that I absolutely love:- the old Tab A had 16GB and this has 128, a major increase in storage.- screen quality is amazing. Streaming videos is noticeably better from a visual standpoint.- in the same price range as the old Tab A, so when I upgraded I felt as though I was getting a much better tablet for about the same price as I paid for the old one in 2018.While the battery life on this new tablet is much better, it longer than I thought it would to charge it. And, yes, I am using the included fast charger and cable. When I was transferring my data and apps from the old tablet the power consumption of WiFi, CPU and whatnot resulted in the charging rate crawling to a snail pace. It was as though it was consuming power at close to the same rate as it was being charged. In normal use, the charging is faster, but still not as fast as I guessed it would be using a fast charger. Not a real issue, but I thought I would mention it to set expectations.As for the S-Pen, I am not currently using it. I am using an old fashion stylus in lieu of fingers to navigate (old habits die hard), and have not found a use for the S-Pen that requires its power and capabilities. It is certainly more than just a stylus, and is designed to integrate with some specific apps. I did watch a Youtube video explaining and demonstrating it, and it is impressive. But that is for a later time when I feel like experimenting and exploring.Overall I love this tablet and am not only pleased with its features and capabilities, but am very happy with its modest price tag.Ver másVer menos
