The 8-inch screen is colorful and vibrant to a degree, but don't expect it to meet AMOLED standards. Since this tablet is primarily for content consumption, its 5000 mAh battery should allow it to last longer. Storage reaches 16 GB, which even allows micro-SD expansion. Although Samsung doesn't specify the processor, a quick look suggests it's Snapdragon 430. Coupled with 2G RAM, the tablet manages to get the job done with the bare minimum. It focuses on efficiency rather than power. Who should buy? Those looking for a value for money option to explore the capabilities of a tablet.
