Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was looking for a replacement for my aging Nexus 7 tablet recently because the battery is going bad and the speakers are now rattly for some reason. I really only use a tablet for streaming video, web browsing, reading books, and listening to audiobooks. A big part of that usage is video streaming. Guess what this thing is TERRIBLE at? At first I thought I was having internet issues, but all my other devices streamed from any source just fine. This device, however, kept buffering all the time. This not only happened when streaming from a source on the internet, but also just from trying to view a video from my home server. I then began to suspect the wireless connection. That *seems* to be OK but regardless of whether or not I used 2.4 or 5GHz, it would still have trouble keeping up. The video player would have to stop and buffer ever thirty seconds or so, usually for another thirty seconds. Simply terrible. I also want to stress that this was not from one particular app, but from various video players, YouTube, and Crunchyroll. The performance was so bad that this is the first product I have ever returned to Amazon in the many years of heavy ordering that I've done through them. While I'm griping about this thing, the touchscreen seems sluggish and inaccurate, with no way to calibrate it that I could find. Also, the speakers are in a really bad location - both on the bottom (side) of the unit, so regardless of whether you are holding it in portrait or landscape, you are probably going to cover them with your hands. Seriously, how hard is it to think just a tiny, tiny bit about how your product is used? I really expected more from a name brand like Samsung. In short: DO NOT BUY THIS TABLET. There is nothing special about it and it is nothing but a disappointing. A tablet from a decade ago would still be a better choice.
