Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is fly, but priced too high

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is the bigger brother to the 8-inch Tab A, but unfortunately it's not as impressive.

Screen quality is not a highlight of the Tab A 9.7. Unfortunately, you're stuck with a display with visible pixelation. It looks outdated, even though the Tab A 9.7 is a 2015 release.

The Galaxy Tab A 9.7 nails it on design. It's slim, sleek, and lightweight. The plastic build gives it a bit of a cheap feel, but that's the case with most plastic-laden Samsungs.

The charcoal grey backpanel feels smooth and nice against your fingertips. It also slightly shimmers in sunlight.

The rounded edges make the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 comfy to hold. It only houses 16GB of internal storage, but you can expand that via microSD card.

Starting at $299 (UK and Australia availability has yet to be announced, but the US price converts to around £192 or $AU385) the sleek design and simple specs of the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 make it hard to reccommend. On the other hand, the 8-inch model is more reasonably priced, making it the better buy.
