Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 too pixelated to be worth picking up

2015-06-10
hey I'm Xiomara Blanca Christina and I'm taking a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab a nine point seven the Galaxy Tab a nine point seven is fashionably thin enlike and the rounded edges make it comfortable to hold the smooth texture on the back feels nice against your fingertips but it doesn't provide much grip support running the latest version of Android lollipop 5.0 it features Samsung's TouchWiz overlay and Samsung also throws in a few free perks like complimentary subscriptions to the new york times and audiobooks from audible as well as Microsoft offices full suite of apps including Word and PowerPoint if you have a compatible Samsung Galaxy phone the tablet includes side sync software which allows you to control your phone using your tablet so if you're carrying around both you only have to use one the Galaxy Tab 89.7 houses a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core processor one and a half gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of internal storage it also offers a micro SD card slot that's expandable up to 128 gigabytes performance isn't very fast but it tends to be smooth it takes its time when loading large apps are using the multi window function but once launched it tends to run without issues according to Samsung the battery should last around 15 hours and after one test run in the CNET labs it clocked in at 12 and a half hours which is still a decent amount of time the 1024 by 768 pixel resolution on the nine point seven inch screen is disappointing it's overwhelmingly pixelated and though HD content still looks relatively sharp and text is readable it's just an unfortunately outdated display I like the comfortable design and the software extras but the baseball-sized pixels are a deal-breaker for me starting at $2.99 it's also a bit expensive for what you're getting if you don't mind downsizing the screen I recommend you pick up the 8 inch model instead which starts at a more reasonable 229 for all the details check out my full review i'm Xiomara bulk oficina and this has been a first look at the samsung galaxy tab a nine point seven
