Perfect (almost!) tablet
This is the fourth tablet I've gone through in my search for a replacement for my defunct Galaxy Tab 4. I thought it was perfect until the battery died! That's another story.
But as I said, I've gone through three prior attempts from other manufacturers, and they all suffered from such defects as an unreadably dark screen, very poor screen resolution, too little RAM (SLOW and prone to freeze), etc. Granted they were all cheaper than the Samsung, but still... Those are pretty basic functional elements that it seems to me every tablet should have.
So, once again, I was forced to return to Samsung. And I'm so glad I did! I'm thrilled to return to the bright, high-resolution display, and the familiar Samsung functionality. But what really surprised me was how fast it is even compared to the Tab 4. It just zips through tasks, opens websites with minimal delays, and isn't bothered by multi-tasking. I don't know what the difference is, because it has the same amount of RAM. Also happy with the weight and size, which I believe is just slightly lighter than the Tab 4 and is easy to hold for reading.
Oh, and I forgot the battery life! At the beginning, the Tab 4 had decent battery life, but the Tab E is much better. I can go through a whole day without charging it, which wasn't the case for the Tab 4.
The seller was excellent, shipped right away and I actually got it sooner than the shipping estimate. Was well-packaged and in new condition. There was a little wear on the box, but that wasn't a big deal considering I got such a good price. At some point, I may get it unlocked so I can use the phone functionality with my T-Mobile account, but at this point, the WIFI is sufficient.
Very happy.
