Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 review

In the case of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7, bigger isn't better. Though the 9.7-inch model shares specs identical to the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A , the lackluster screen resolution looks better on the smaller model than on the 9.7-incher.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is thin, light and stylish. It has a long lasting battery and offers many premium app perks for free. Its microSD slot accommodates cards up to 128GB.

The screen's low resolution looks pixelated on the 9.7-inch screen. Given its average specs, its $299 price feels too expensive.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is satisfyingly simple tablet, but its lackluster screen and relatively high price make it forgettable.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 SM-T555 Tablet Review

Understatement. With a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels in a 4:3 format, Samsung's 9.7-inch Galaxy Tab A presents itself as an ideal e-book reader, web-browsing device, and email machine. However, our test proves that the quad-core android has a...

Solid build, Slim 7.5 millimeters, UMTS and LTE, Accurate localization, Smooth operation, Comfortable voice control, Decent camera, Bright screen, High viewing angle stability, High performance, Superb battery life

Relatively slippery sleek back, Non-removable cover, Only few camera settings

With the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 SM-T555, Samsung has a good mid-range tablet in its lineup, which is based on a solid performance foundation with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 APQ8016 quad-core SoC and Qualcomm's Adreno 306 graphics core. The high-performance...

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 review

If you're looking for an averagely-sized, averagely-priced tablet with average specs, the Galaxy Tab A is for you. Its best features are its slimline, ergonomic design and smart looks; the main negative is the low screen resolution. Overall, it's a...

If you're a casual tablet user and don't expect to use your device for heavy 3D gaming, or reading books, or doing anything very intensively, then the Tab A was probably designed with you in mind. It's good value for a 10 inch tablet, and the Tab A is...
