As always, Samsung products are reliable and this is no exception. Battery power seems a bit week, but this may be due to some background process I have not yet found and disabled. There is an annoying new (to me) app - Device Care - which I do not need or want. I find there's no way to turn it off, but it appears you can disable the notifications. Seems silly.
As for design, there are a couple of issues. The 3.5" jack is located at a corner of the device on the bottom right. It is in the way when supporting the tablet upright or charging with a right angle charger. When the tablet is placed in a case, the cord is awkward when standing horizontally and watching videos. Not everyone wears Bluetooth headphones (the batteries don't last the day) and some of us cannot utilize the speaker without disturbing others.
Additionally, the side buttons are almost flush with the edge of the device, which would be nice if I used the tablet without a case. But when the device is in the case, the buttons cannot be manipulated easily...or sometimes at all.
But it is the lower end model and the price point was spot on. The display is wonderful, and after all, that's the part that's important!
