Newer Low Cost Tablet With Minor Problem
I started to look for a new tablet after my old tablet would no longer run some apps on Android 4.2 and the manufacture had stopped making updates for it. I wanted to find a new tablet under $200 and running the newest Android release available.in that price range. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" 32 GB had just started to be available at the end of 2017 and is using Android 7.1.1. I believe this will allow tablet to be used for many years before becoming obsolete. The new tablet startup is faster and is able to run all the apps that I want. The only problem I have with the new tablet is the dedicated recent apps and back keys at the bottom of the display. It is almost impossible to see where these keys are and they are not lighted. I found it difficult to hit the keys and would have to try to push them multiple times for them to function. In frustration with this problem, I took a marker and marked the location of the keys on the bezel surrounding the screen.. This did help, but the manufacturer should make these keys more visible.
