Not great.Markus Kerr (Dec 7, 2020) on Gadgets 360Definitely nothing to ride home about. Mine is 16GB. Good thing comes with a micro SD slot because 13GB of the tablets space is used by the system. I literally have no personal data on the tablet and clean the cache every so often and only have 3GB of free space. Wow. Its lags badly sometimes. When i unlock it most of the time i have to press the up button constantly to help it unlock otherwise sometimes it just wont unlock. I only really use it for streaming, where as it cant even really do that because it wont connect to a Chromecast at all. So only via the tablet itself. Atleast for now i can use Flud. I'm an iphone user so i know i wont be moving across anytime soon.Is this review helpful?

Samsung Galaxy tab A6Biniyam (Aug 4, 2022) on Gadgets 360 RecommendsI used this tab since 2022. It is very helpful device. It functions are always on the go. But the disadvantages of this phone is the company doesn't upgrade the android version from 5.1 . Which lead to the device to not function in new software. If the tab have the access to update the system to androidn 8. It would be very awesome.Is this review helpful?

Best budget tabletWertoiBuilds (Apr 20, 2022) on Gadgets 360 RecommendsPerfect for streaming and light gaming, do note that storage is very limited, but, luckily SD cards are very cheap, can stream anything in 720p, which is fine for its size. Can handle some casual games, but nothing intense or flashy. Perfect for reading as well, decent charge and discharge rate.Is this review helpful?
