Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wanted to write a review for this tablet even though I just received it a few days ago. If it dies on me or doesn't measure up i'll come back and revise my review. There are very few reviews on this because it's a fairly new release so not many people have bought it yet. I did a lot of research for this tablet. Thanks to the confusion in searching for tablets on Amazon and this having so few reviews, I didn't even think it was legit until I searched the Samsung website and this model came up (same price here and there btw). I buy tech (like phones and laptops) and use them until they die or aren't supported with updates anymore (more on that later). I read a lot of tech reviews on this since there are hardly any reviews here. I considered Kindles but really wanted something that runs android/google out of the box, which Kindles don't (without some hacking that I didn't want to attempt). I wanted the newest tablet for the best value, to perform basic tablet functions (no crazy gaming, etc), on Android and this seems to be the jackpot. A couple things I found out in my search and comparison with other tablets that others might want to know: 1- First (and most important to me), this tablet has the newest Android OS- 9.0 Pie. This is one of the only tablets that runs Pie out of the box, at this price anyway. Some newer tablets run 8.0 Oreo. Most newer and more affordable ones run Lollipop, Marshmallow or Nougat. Having the newest OS is important to me because it means I'll get to keep this as long as possible and lower my likelihood of having issues down the line with updates ending and things not being supported. Some would say this isn't that important, it is to me. 2- This tablet has 2GB of RAM not 3, which I guess is an issue for some people who may use a tablet for more processor intensive things. I don't plan on that. I plan on reading, watching netflix, youtube, etc and doing stuff on apps and the internet. So far it's plenty fast (almost instant) for all of that. (FYI The 64 GB version of this tablet has the 3GB RAM). 3- This doesn't support the S-pen. I don't care about that at all, but maybe some people would like to know. 4- It has a headphone jack, yay!!! 5- It has a microSD card slot for expandable storage. Cool if I happen to need that later, probably not. To sum it all up, this tablet is probably the best on the market for the price. The only downside I found was it's a bit difficult finding screen protectors and cases with enough reviews to know if they're good or not, because the tablet hasn't been out very long. I did some additional research by searching the best screen protector brands and cases for the recent Galaxy Tab A's and then searched to see if they made anything for this Tab A 10.1 2019. I'm including the links for the screen protectors and case I bought from Sparin (known for good screen protectors) and ProCase (good reviews for prev Tab cases). The screen protector is tempered glass, went on beautifully, fit perfectly and comes with 3 for only $13! That'll probably last the life of the tablet! The case is really nice and sturdy which is why I buy cases. I don't like slim "skin-like" cases, I want my tablet protected, it also props it up nicely.
