Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Wi-Fi 32GB (2020)

Good tablet but a bit pricey – I purchased this tablet 6 weeks ago to replace another one (not a Samsung) which was no longer charging after 4 years (and unfortunately the battery couldn't be replaced). This model compares well with previous tablets I have owned and with the addition of an SD card, is more than sufficient for my needs, which consist mainly of answering emails, searching the web, reading audio books, playing music and watching the odd tv show. The Samsung Smart Switch app enabled the smooth transfer of apps and data from my (non-Samsung) phone to the tablet without any hiccups, although it was a rather slow process. I was also able to connect it seamlessly to my laptop to transfer photos. Overall the tablet works fine, although the double-tap option to wake the tablet is sometimes rather slow and occasionally doesn't work and requires the use of the on-off switch and auto-rotate can also be somewhat slow at times. I also found that you cannot automatically arrange all your apps in alphabetical order. You either have to do this manually (very tedious!) or use an app such as Nova Launcher to do this automatically. There doesn't appear to be any lag in accessing the SD card and I have found no problems playing music from the card. For a tablet, the sound quality is good, but not spectacular, but with the aid of earbuds or playing music through a soundbar, the quality is excellent and tracks play without problems. Screen quality is also very clear and a decent size battery (over 7000mAh) means you can almost use the tablet all day without recharging. The camera quality is O/k but nothing to boast about, but I guess you generally don't buy a tablet for the camera quality! Overall a good tablet - just hope the battery doesn't fail as with my previous tablet, but I guess time will tell.
