General Comments on the Tab A:

Pros :

1. Android Lollypop – it is beautiful, simple and efficient. My biggest compliment to Samsung is there modifications of lollypop are minimal and it functions and looks very close to stock Android in the Nexus 9. We have an older Samsung – Tab 2 I believe, and the modifications to Android were so annoying that I have avoided their products. That is not the case with the Tab A – good job to Samsung.

2. Screen Size – the 4:3 screen size (like the Nexus 9 or iPad) is really nice for folks who are not into heavy multimedia use – movies, TV. It is most satisfying for those who do productivity and reading.

3. Battery life is good.

4. It is relatively light and easy to hold in the hands. It feels lighter than the Nexus 9.

5. Good price.

6. Excellent response – no significant lag.

Cons:

1. Screen resolution. The resolution is good, again, I am not quoting numbers, but for people who like high definition will be disappointed. If you like a nice screen, but the high def image is not important, you will be satisfied. The colors are good, but the single hair strand clarity on the picture is not there. I will emphasize, the vast majority of uses will be perfectly fine with the resolution.

2. Its feel is not quite as solid as other tablet. Again, the build is good. The screen feels like some polymer versus a glass screen like on the Nexus. It doesn’t feel cheap, but I think to keep it light, lighter materials were used.

Compared to the Nexus 9. It is cheaper and has an expandable slot for more memory. It is also a bit faster than the Nexus. The Nexus has high def clarity with a better picture. It has stock Android and will be the first for upgrades. It feels solid with the gorilla glass screen. The one feature that sets it apart from virtually all other tablets is the front facing speakers, they are awesome. For me, I prefer to Nexus due to the screen resolution, I like hi def, and the front facing speakers. If the Tab A came in an S model with the AMOLED display, which I think is just phenomenal, I would get it because I really like the speed of the Samsung product. Honestly, if Samsung made a Tab A S Google edition (stock Android) with front facing speakers - it would simply be the finest tablet in the market.

I think for the majority of uses, this tablet is awesome. It is especially suited for those into productivity and reading. This is a 5 star product due to the features and price.

Equipped with a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera, the Galaxy Tab A helps you capture better photos and videos with advanced features such as continuous shot and panoramic modes. You can also quickly switch between shooting photos and videos.

The Galaxy Tab A comes with a preloaded radio app, so you can plug in your headphones to listen to your favorite FM stations at home or on the road. And unlike other music apps, you can enjoy the music even when you're not connected to Wi-Fi.

The Samsung Galaxy Essentials widget offers a collection of complimentary apps optimized for your tablet. To customize your Galaxy Tab A and instantly expand your entertainment options, simply select and download the apps you want.
