Pretty and pricey

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

Slow and steady

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 It looks outdated, even though the Tab A 9.7 is a 2015 release.

Slim and sleek

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.

Charcoal and chic

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

Comfy and cozy

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.

To buy or not to buy

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.
