Comparison review
HTC Jetstream has an overall score of 63.6, which is a little bit better than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0's global score of 62.8. These tablets use Android operating system, but HTC Jetstream has the previous 3.1 version and Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 has Android 7.1 Nougat. Despite being the best in this review, HTC Jetstream is a incredibly older, noticeably heavier and a lot thicker device than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0.
HTC Jetstream features just a little better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because although it has less CPU cores (although they are faster) and a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with an additional graphics processor. The HTC Jetstream features a brighter screen than Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because although it has a bit lower screen density, it also counts with a bigger display and a bit higher 768 x 1280 resolution.
HTC Jetstream counts with a much better camera than Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because it has a way higher 1920x1080 video resolution and a way more megapixels camera in the back.

The HTC Jetstream features a really longer battery duration than Galaxy Tab A 8.0, because it has a 74 percent bigger battery size.
Although HTC Jetstream is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Galaxy Tab A 8.0, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy Tab A 8.0. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the HTC Jetstream, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Galaxy Tab A 8.0, resigning some features and specs.
