Nice Looking and Feeling Device.

This tablet looks and feels premium. Performance feels a little janky which was a surprise, even when it was updated to 5.0 lollipop. I am upgrading from a Nexus 7 2013 and performance on that is better than this Galaxy Tab in terms of smoothness and speed . I had to adjust to the weight of this tablet, I risk hand strain whenever I hold it one handed. Seller described the device having minor screen burn-in which I think is a misrepresentation. There is a prominent ghosting of 'Galaxy Tab' that can be seen in the center of the screen on most things that you do. The only time that you can't see it is when you are looking at dark colors. If you have a white background you can see there is more burn in on the bottom and right hand portion of the screen. Thankfully the burn-in of those images are not as prominent. I would say the burn-in covers 60% of the display. I got the system brand new which meant I got to take advantage of the goodies Samsung gives with their premium devices: 12 months premium Evernote, 6 month premium Pocket, Free books through Kindle, etc. Experience wise, the tablet has been a joy reading walking dead comics, binge-watching Daredevil, and playing GTA: San Andreas. Doing the above on battery I got 7 and a half hours of screen on time. The only problem was that damn screen burn-in. If I could do this all over again I would go for for the Dell Venue 8 7000. It also has an OLED display, feels premium, and takes SD cards. And It's lighter to hold. Unless you really want a 10 inch screen then this is a good bet. Seller delivered item promptly and was willing to accept return due to the screen burn-in I reported above.
