@welsh dragon - let's see if I agree with your assessment of the Galaxy Tab A (2019) 10.1...!
My 2012 mk 1 Galaxy Tab 8.9 has served me well, but it is well past its best. I can't test my games on it, and many other apps won't run on it either.
I got a £30 windfall a few weeks ago when soltydog kindly split the profit with me after selling on something that I had previously sold to him. That money was sitting in my PayPal account just waiting to be spent...
I had been thinking of bidding on a secondhand tablet but there is always the chance of getting something in poor condition and regretting it. Then I spotted an ex-demo Tab A in 'Class-A' condition going for £134.99. The company stated that the condition is excellent, at worst a few minor scratches on the rear of it. I will be buying a cover for it anyway, so that's no problem. I got another £4.72 back from TopCashBack so it has effectively only cost me £100 and I'm sure that I will get some money given to me at Christmas to put towards it.
If I can get 5+ years out of this device then I will be very pleased!
Most people are not using tablets these days - they either go up in size to a laptop, or down to a 'phablet' (
phone t
ablet - a big smartphone) but I really like them for web browsing and games.
I will do a special tablet version of my game which currently is optimised for 4.5-6.5 inch phone screens. (It does resize itself to fit the screen but there is a limit to how small things can be before you can't see them properly or click on them with a finger without accidentally straying onto something else!)
