be careful just because a phone or a tablet are samsung or other well known brands does not guarantee you are going to get a good quality device. i recently bought a replacement phone and tabelet from walmart and both of them would not play games i had been playing for several years turns outthat both had old versons of android operating system specifically the kitkat os and surprise most of google play apps are not compatible and i can't . update tab or phone unless i get someone to root them which if unsuccessful mite kill my devices

why are stores allowed to sell stuff for top dollar with outdated an unsupported os? if they sold a lap top at 00 dollars with windows xp someone would have it all over the news.

I'm going through the same sort of issues. I'm an avid writer mostly half drafts and short stories etc. and have been looking for a cheap tablet that I could take to work with me, cheap because I work in a school and there are many with sticky fingers (both students and staff - we had a cancer trust pot stolen from the staff room a few months back) so don't wanna invest a lot of money but every time I come across a cheap one (almost always android based) it gets terrible reviews. It isn't that I don't want to fork out the money, I own an Ipad (second or third gen can't remember) a kindle, an iPhone etc. so it's not like I don't want to spend the money, it's like I said I'm not willing to buy something expensive knowing there is a major risk of it going walkies.
(Fork out - Pay for / Walkies - Stolen : Just to help out in case people don't know what they mean, already had that problem lol).
