Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 60.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is a bit outdated tablet launched in May 2015, which counts with a really big 9.7-inches display, a 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, a 5 MP back side camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this portable tablet can give us.

Samsung decided to power this tablet using a great performance 1200 MHz Quad-Core processor, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 system chip and a huge 1,5 GB RAM memory. An interesting feature of this tablet is its big 16 GB internal storage and an external memory slot, allowing you to store a couple hundred apps and games without running out of space.

This tablet is very thin and good-looking, being just 0.29" thick. The Tab A 9.7 only has 9.55" long and 6.57" wide, but it still manages to hold a 9.7 inches screen. Samsung onlymade the Tab A 9.7 in color 16 777 216. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is much lighter than what you expect from a tablet of this size.

The Tab A 9.7 provides WiFi connection (which it can provide to other devices acting as a modem or router). This device doesn't use a SIM card, because it is not a GSM tablet.

The Tab A 9.7 features two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. It can also capture HD 1280x720 videos.

The Tab A 9.7 packs a 6000 mAh big Li - Ion non-removable battery providing the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 a great battery duration. An issue to consider is that this tablet's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins losing capacity, whereas with such a great capacity you will probably discard this tablet before that becomes an issue.

This device also comes with a handful of useful characteristics as Bluetooth (4.1 ) and GPS Geolocation, and some sensors likeLight Sensor and Accelerometer.

Samsung is offering the Tab A 9.7 for $ 160, which is not a really offer for a tablet this level. This tablet is definitely very appropiate for you no matter if you are looking for a tablet for work, are looking for a social tablet, want this tablet to take tons of photographs or will use it for gaming.
