Well the old faithful Samsung Nexus 10 refused to come out of its corner after the bell about a month ago.....completely dead. The battery was getting worse and I took a chance on replacing it......still dead.
Oh well, hit with hammer and put in recycling bin.

So today, it was buy a new tablet time. I was after a 10 inch tablet and considered going for the standard Tab A but completely ditched that idea when I saw the Super Amoled display on the S2 range. Wow, a display that looks as good as the display on my S8 phone.

This tablet is seriously thin, 5.6 mm thin. Yes, that is NOT a typo. And it weighs only 389 grams ! I dunno how they do it.

The 4:3 ratio suits fine, as it is the same as the native photo size that my S8+ takes, so photos fill the screen completely. Battery is 5870 mAh, obviously I havent given it a good run yet, but they claim up to 14 hours battery life (no doubt over stated) so it should be fine.

I'll post back after some use, but its very very nice so far.
