The HTC Jetstream is slightly better than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, with a global score of 63.6 against 62.8. Both tablets we are comparing include Android OS, but HTC Jetstream has the previous 3.1 version while Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 has Android 7.1 Nougat version. Even being the best tablet we compare here, HTC Jetstream is an extremely older, incredibly thicker and notably heavier tablet than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0.
The HTC Jetstream counts with a sharper screen than Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because although it has a little bit worse pixels density, it also counts with a slightly better 768 x 1280 resolution and a larger display. The HTC Jetstream counts with a little bit better storage to install games and applications than Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because although it has a slot for an external memory card that allows up to 32 GB against 128 GB, it also counts with 32 GB internal storage capacity.
The HTC Jetstream counts with just a bit better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and less cores (although they are faster), it also counts with an additional graphics processor. The HTC Jetstream counts with a much better battery performance than Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because it has a 7300mAh battery capacity instead of 4200mAh.
HTC Jetstream has a way better camera than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because it has a way higher 1920x1080 (Full HD) video quality and a back camera with lot more MP.
Although HTC Jetstream is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy Tab A 8.0. If you prefer to save some money, you can get Galaxy Tab A 8.0, and give up some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your money.
