I am a 34 year old with a family of 2. My son is 5 and my daughter is 7, the interactive games and books are worth every penny! I read along with them, and play multiple games to build there knowledge of Math and Reading. I use the device for reading also, poker online with my buddies and to watch Netflix. Its perfect, all around tablet. I have had multiple devices, IPAD, Surface etc... This is by far the device of choice, I will be upgrading to a new style with more memory in the near future.
The area of design is the only place that I gave this great value tablet 4 stars an that's mostly because I felt a little guilt going full tilt with all 5 stars in all areas. Was a little slippery to handle at first. I had had a more expensive model before and that one had a rubber feel grip on the back...so I was spoiled. But I've since gotten used to handling my new Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. I take it everywhere. It is very durable. I don't abuse it, but I don't baby it either...and I do not carry it around in a case! This thing is just solid! And like I said I was very shocked at the slow battery drain!!! Especially with playing videos (I use a Netflix app a lot)...it's just not like any other device I've had, in terms of battery life. You could actually not watch the battery indicator and be pleasantly surprised that the battery drained much less than it seemed like it should have (and would with any another device you're used to using)!! All in all I feel like I might have (finally) gotten more than my money's worth with this purchase! I caught a sale.
I bought the Samsung S 7 tablet 16g 3 months ago. It comes fully loaded with tons of apps. I added an 8g memory chip because it came free with the purchase. Very good screen resolution, colors are terrific and sound is excellent. Serious bang for the buck all around.
I'm thinking about getting another one in a larger size. My senior citizen eyes need icons and web pages that are a bit larger and easier to see. I'm currently browsing for a refurbished 10.1.
My one and only suggestion would be to make the user manual user friendly. As currently written, it's not. I'm guessing it assumes the user is familiar with smart phones and tablets already.
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great tablet.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: a bit heavier than i expected but not a big deal.
The back "button" is hard to locate in low light making the arrow have a back light would make it easier to see. Not as good volume/sound as my Kindle Fire HD.
I love the galaxy brand, it's simple and yet ad technical as i need it to be ad well as potable which means that I no longer have to carry my laptop every where.
