HOW GOOD IS THE GALAXY TAB A 9.7?

If you are using this tablet as an e-reader or for surfing the web, it is excellent. If you are using it to view a lot of movies, not so good. This in due mainly to the lower screen resolution, which doesn't seem to be a problem for reading. Also because of its screen aspect ratio, it has a tendency to crop the tops off of newer movies, but not so much off of TV shows. I previously used a Tab 2 7.0, so that is what I am comparing the Tab A 9.7 to. With a faster quad processor, 2 GB RAM, and a larger internal memory card (16 or 32 GB), as well as an external mmemory card (up to 128 GB) should make a positive attribute for purchasing this device. It pretty much does what you want it to, at a price that is affordable. One of the more important features is the long battery life. It consumes less power then my Tab 2 and has a 6000 ma battery (Compared to a 4000 ma). I ran it 7 hours straight using wi-fi, and the battery only went from 100% down to 63%. Also, with the extra RAM and memory, it is alot funner and easier to use.Read full review
