Can't fit a 4K TV under me duvet :man:

That screen resolution though......1024 x 768
:neutral_face:

Who knows, maybe you could stream music to your stereo speakers from your tablet because the built in speakers aren't going to fill a room. No, no, it couldn't be that. You're right, what a pointless combination....

You shouldn't be commenting on things you don't know what they are for....::man: ...specially when you trying to be a Smart ***

If its the ideal size for watching films......why do people bother buying 50" 4k tv's?

Pitiful spec for the price

Decent for the warranty, but PC World customer care is, inconsistent to say the least.

4:3 is great for productivity (normal widescreen tablets are pretty poor for productivity) and its great now more people are copying the ipad in this respect but "perfect for films" is not 4:3

pitiful screen resolution and slow

That screen resolution though......1024 x 768
:neutral_face:

ok as a browser but really the resolution is terrible for that price

Although it is 1024x768 resolution you should see it in real life, it really does not look that bad imho.

If you are simply wanting to watch movies you don't need a high powered processor. Argos are doing the older Galaxy Tab E for £119 which has Android 4.4 Kit Kat and a higher resolution screen (1280x800) as most movies I've come across as 720p either screen will do:

Argos - Galaxy Tab E £119

​and with a further £10 off voucher

Is there a point to this combination deal...Tablet and Audio Wifi Dongle?

Laptop and Shoehorn?
Microwave and a tv aerial?
Coat and a car charger??

Why is this getting so much heat?

I've got this tablet. Only got it as a media consumption device and I have to say I've been massively impressed. The screen resolution is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. And the screen resolution means lower power usage and with mine I get about 11-13 hours screen on time. It's very smooth, less lag than my G3! I bought mine for £139 but no chrome cast. I know the specs aren't great but I've had the nexus 9 for a while and for general Web browsing and media consumption there a negligible difference in speed. At least with this I can store tons of Media on my 128gb ad card. It doesn't lag during gaming but with games like Modern Combat they have noticeably lowered the texture detail so thats sk ething to bear in mind for those who were possibly planning to play anything intensive on this...
Best valued 4:3 AR tab I could find!

Too big for, which is best budget 8" tablet, any suggestion, I need with GPS and SD slot

The problem is 8gb is simply not enough internal memory in my opinion, My kids had the tab4 8gb and they just about ran with the pre loaded apps, after a couple of updates the system couldn't cope and I had to return them and pay extra to go up to the 16gb version which for some reason they have now dropped from sale but continue to sell the lesser/useless 8gb???

I'm trying to get my head around phone/tablet architecture. Logic would dictate to me, that a bigger device can hold bulkier hardware, so has potential to be more powerful. Am I correct in thinking that?

Essentially, would this be faster than my S5 phone for slightly more intensive apps?

Not much in this or Tab E. I'm going for Tab E £119.99 at Argos

I have this tablet, not sure if it's the same, as mine has 4G and I paid nearly £300, last Summer. I have a sim with tethering. I can make phone calls but never have. I have a custom desktop system, for 3D rendering, Octa core and 32GB of RAM. Yet, I prefer the tablet over, my laptops, plasma TV and phablet. I bought a case for the tablet with a magnetic Bluetooth keyboard. It's the business, battery power lasts all day which is, great for watching 4K BT Sports and cooking along with Gordon Sweary ****!
Fantastic for browsing the Internet because you have seamless scrolling. No more page's to deal with, using the eBay app. Great for scanning, wireless printing and if your eyes can register more than 5 megapixels of the main camera, this isn't for you.
My daughter has the Ipad Pro and she prefers this. First thing she picks up, when she visits and hates me, because I am not sold on the Apple carousel.
This is so good for reading, my Kindle never gets used, I have two Nexus 7's I was holding onto, waiting for another generation then, I saw this, read the reviews and stumped up the cash.
Maybe the S2 is a better tablet, but I am satisfied with this and if I lose my broadband connection, I always have tethering to fall back on.
So many functions, I haven't used them all and did I mention split screen too? I can work on two applications side by side.
This may not be your cup of tea, but it works for me.
If I was being honest, I would say technology has been taken away from the user recently, with more reliance on automation and a step back in my book.
You have got to have corded headphones, replaceable batteries and be able to swap out memory cards. There is too much signal frequency interference, for Bluetooth devices to be continuously connected, I have Gadget Show best rated Bluetooth Sport Earphones, the interference causes the signal to drop out and nothing infuriates you more, than having your tunes confiscated! Oh! Let's not forget all and sundry can access your device, through the Bluetooth connection.
Is this relevant to this device? Yes and No!
I will always have a wired broadband, wired speakers and a turntable for playing vinyl.
Who needs Chromecast and the like, when there's Kodi?

The Tab A is a great tablet. Excellent for watching movies. At this price with the Chromecast it is a bargain. Nice find OP. :smiley:

Wouldn't want to watch videos on a screen that low res. Horrible spec for the money

Ignore my ignorance but why is this so much better than the version Argos are offering for £119?

Yawwwnnnnn.....while they didn't invent the screen ratio, they did bring it to the masses in tablet form. The poster didn't state Apple invented it, take you bile elsewhere and save us from you're spouty mouth.

Get an Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5. Awesome machine <3

Apple invented the retina display too

To be honest, I'd much rather they take £20 off the price further than give me this chromecast junk which I don't need.

Apple are the masters of 'inventing' things which have already been around since the dawn of age.

Nice

Far from it, my main phone is an iPhone 6 and I use my iPad mini just as much as this tablet. I think most of Samsungs hardware looks like its trying to imitate Apple's. Couldn't care less whether people buy Samsung's gear or not, just telling everyone how it performs, which in this case is very well.

'Black/white' I'd want a colour one for that price :wink:

Do they have a Windows version of this?

I'
I have to agree

Does it have a mini hdmi slot anyone know?

Great price. My daughter's well happy with hers and, personally, I think the resolution is acceptable given the price. I find it's pretty speedy too with no lag and would prefer this to my laggy Nexus 9 which has a better resolution. Nothing worse than using a tablet that has a better resolution if it lags.:stuck_out_tongue:

'Your' spouty mouth

What do you expect from a crapple fan.

wow. would rather buy 2nd hand G Pad 8.3 for 70-80 quid than this crap priced like its any better than absolutely basic 2015 tablet. 300 degrees... really WOW

Looks canny but I have to admit that screen res is putting me off some.

good holiday deal, get one as a gift for friend

No heat sorry.
The one big downside to this is the kitkat 4.4, I think that's what it's called anyway.
You cannot transfer from internal storage to sd card, everything goes the tab storage.
After its set up with WiFi and other apps you only have about 7GB left.
So any movies you want on the tab, you need to use a laptop to transfer over. Very few apps can be moved to the sd card so the storage gets full very fast.
I thought it might be just me not knowing how to move it over, but I have noticed that many others have also have experienced the same issues.
If this problem could be resolved then it would bexpect a fantastic tab.
If anyone has any ideas how to do it then your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Nvidia Shield Tablet runs rings around this at £149, I'll give you the the 9.7" screen is arguably better for media consumption but literally the Shield wins on everything else.

Bought one the other day , i upgraded from a Galaxy Tab 3 , this one is excellent for the price.

This sounds fantastic, could you recommend a particular one on the list ?
Very grateful for your help

If you're viewing the page with a computer, float your mouse over the 'region' list, you'll see BTU shows as United Kingdom which is number 22 on the list:

SM-T550 BTU T550XXU1AOE9

You need to be aware that there is a risk of damaging the device by upgrading firmware. You should be fine but it's something to be aware of.

This may help further.
