Great first tablet - worth waiting for!
on June 26, 2016
Posted by: Tempest
After following various tablet reviews/prices/specs for about a year, I finally decided on the 64GB Tab S2 (T813) for my first tablet purchase. I currently have an older model Samsung phone and an older model kindle, and was hoping to purchase a tablet for the larger screen size so that I can use apps, the web, and read ebooks on one device.
PROS
I was happy to learn that my tablet could import my contacts and settings from my samsung phone, as well as books from my kindle - a major plus that sped up the setup process for someone new to tablets.
The tablet also has the ability to use a SD card. I don't use many apps and after installing 10 new apps (plus using the pre-installed apps) I've used ~14 GB of internal storage and ~21 GB of storage on the SD card. I would recommend the 64GB version of this tablet for that reason.
Overall response time is fast. Pages and apps load quickly. Downloads are also speedy. Battery life is average - certainly better than my phone, not as good as the old kindle.
The screen is visible even when outdoors in bright sunlight. I had to download a manual for a piece of machinery that had broken down in a field - the diagrams were clearly visible without having to shade the tablet, this is a huge plus if you work outside.
With the use of a USB adapter, I was able to transfer PDFs that I downloaded to a USB flash drive. The transfer went quickly.
************
CONS
I've had a hard time accessing the settings for the storage locations (SD card vs internal storage). If there's a way to manually change these settings/set a default for all apps at once, I have yet to find it; although it appears that downloads are being saved to the SD card.
The fingerprint reader only works about 50% of the time.
Do not expect the tablet to charge as fast as your phone does.
*********
Overall, this is an excellent tablet and I highly recommend it - I would certainly purchase it again. It can replace my kindle, make up for my phone's limitations, and has completely lived up to its expectations.

I would recommend this to a friend!
