Which tablet (1 Viewer)

[Phileas Fogg]

Simple question as I have no idea which way to go, looking for a straightforward windows/android 10 inch or plus tablet with 32 or 64gb to use whilst away in the van. We do have amazon prime and will be watching films on that so the amazon fire HD looks possible. Want to spend as little as possible but enough to get something half decent.
Suggestions please?

Samsung galaxy Tab A 10" have served us well. Wife and myself had the basic 16gb versions when they came out. Later upgraded to the 32gb ones when on offer. Use plug in micro SD card to give extra storage.

Windows tablets will be very limited for apps. Fire tablets have a good reputation but personally I would move up a notch.

I think the Amazon Fire tablets are good value for money. Link

Looks like the samsung galaxy tab A7 with 32gb is the way to go, good deal on Amazon for the 10.4 LTE version.
Thanks for the suggestion Tonka

I recently bought the Samsung A7 (WiFi only) from John Lewis. Same price as Currys and Amazon at the time, but with a second years warranty and a decent case / stand thrown in. Free delivery too. Don't know if offer still on or not?

As tonka said about Windows tablets, the Apps for Amazon Fire tablets are limited. I have one, and like it, but find the absence of Apps is frustrating.

I think the fire only has limits if you use the Amazon own app store as it comes "out the box" . My son just said they can be hacked to use the proper play store which gives all the android apps.

My brother has this and he's really pleased with it.

I have an ancient iPad which is now creaking as lots of the apps I use on it now won't update due to the age of the OS. So am debating what to buy to replace it.

I bought a refurbished samsung tablet from https://www.stonerefurb.co.uk/, 6 months warranty and cheaper than new as I wasn't sure how useful it would be. Been great.

Had Samsung Tabs for the last 5 years or so. I love them.

I have a fire 10 inch. I think its the best for the money. A bit slow and comes with Amazon Ads (there are ways of getting rid and installing proper Android but its a bit technical) but it does the job for me. It's quite easy to hack so that it uses Google play store and normal google apps rather than the Amazon equivalents if you prefer but there's nothing wrong with the Amazon ones.

My wife has the Samsung equivalent. Lighter, faster but quite a bit more expensive.

Thanks all have ordered the galaxy arriving tomorrow!
