Previously on Lemmy: Asus

Android tablets are devices that I don’t know a lot about. I’ve seen plenty of them around, but I haven’t seen many people actually use them, but I’ve seen plenty of iPads and sometimes Surfaces out in the wild. Many large Android manufacturers have tried, like Samsung and Huawei, but reception to them seems lurkwarm at best.

Tablets, to me, are more of media consumption devices than productivity devices. So, I guess the questions of the week would be, what is your experiences with Android tablets, and what are some features you are looking for in an Android tablet to make it worth buying?

    Really? My Galaxy Tab A was slow as crap right out of the box. Even removing the bloatware didn’t help too much, and it’s new enough to get forced updates that reinstall the bloatware. It’s so bad that simply swiping between home screen panels can take several seconds.

    Also, the digitiser seems to shut off if it’s not used for a few seconds, then takes a second or two to start receiving input once touched again. It also has accuracy issues at regular intervals, almost like a few of the contacts didn’t make contact.

    Is the S supposed to be better than the A? Either way, very disappointed.

      Oh yes it is. Especially these days the gulf between Samsung’s Premium S Line adn the S FE, and A line is huge.

        Yeah, I looked it up and the A line is pretty budget. It’s still horrifically slow though, I’m disappointed the stock OS operates that poorly.
