We purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 so our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and assess it. Keep reading for our full product review.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is one of Android’s best entries into the tablet space. Prior to its release, the non-Apple tablet market has struggled with some identity crises: software issues, lack of adoption from developers, and somewhat unexciting hardware. 

The Galaxy Tab S7 (and its larger counterpart, the S7+) seems to have finally perfected the Android tablet problem, providing a truly premium competitor in the hardware space to the iPad Pro, as well as providing a few software tricks that might just make it a viable laptop replacement. I picked up the base-level unit in Mystic Silver, along with the Samsung-designed keyboard cover to see just how good of a premium tablet this is.

Design: Clean, simple, and premium

One of the most important barriers to cross for the premium tablet space is making your device look and feel as premium as something like an iPad Pro. The Galaxy Tab S7 is extremely well-designed, opting for a fully aluminum, unibody design with a large, glossy glass screen and very small bezels on the front. There’s no front button here, a volume rocker on the side, and a sleep/wake button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. 

One design touch that is interesting is the shiny outside edge of the construction because rather than featuring a high-gloss texture, it sports a machined, brushed surface. This gives the sharp, squared-off edges an extra little design nod. I also really like how simple the official keyboard Book Cover looks, with a faux leather texture and an ultra-slim, magnet-attached profile.

Durability and Build Quality: Really nice attention to detail
When it comes to mobile tech, Samsung is one of the few brands that just inherently understands how to make devices that feel premium. That fact is present, in spades, on the Tab S7 and Tab S7+. The sturdy aluminum build with brushed, textured sides feels great in the hand, while the Gorilla Glass that covers the display should provide decent protection against scratches and slight dings. 

You won’t find any IP rating here, which is true of most tablets that aren’t billed as rugged devices. I also want to note that because the slate is about 0.25 inches thick, the slimness might yield even less durability if you’re just tossing it in your bag. For this reason, I strongly recommend a case of some sort. Though most of the Samsung cases are slim, they do feel like they’ll provide a decent amount of drop protection.







Display: Sharp and very bright
One of the biggest differences between the Tab S7 and the Tab S7+ (arguably the only difference of any consequence) is the display. Where the Tab S7+ sports a 12.4-inch screen, the S7 has a smaller 11-inch screen, making it the more portable device. However, the S7 doesn’t offer an AMOLED panel like the S7+, but instead goes for an LTPS TFT LCD. 

On the surface, this means that technically the Tab S7’s display is less premium. While it’s true that an AMOLED panel will give you much starker blacks and more vibrant colors, Samsung has done a really nice job with the LCD panel on the standard S7. With a resolution of 2560x1600, the pixel density is actually reasonably sharper than the iPad Pro, and thanks to 500 nits of brightness, this display looks every bit as vibrant and sharp as its bigger brother’s AMOLED screen. 

The screen sits at 16:10, making it feel very narrow when you hold it in portrait orientation, but feels very fitting when watching widescreen video like movies or TV shows. If you want the most premium screen you can get on a tablet, you’ll need to go with the Tab S7+, but this LCD panel is sharp, bright, vibrant, and accurate and will certainly feel plenty premium.








The other standout feature on this class of tablets is the presence of a 120Hz refresh rate. The latest iPad Pros feature this tech (they call it ProMotion) and both Tab S7s offer it. This functionality makes your videos run more smoothly, and it makes all the actions you take on your tablet feel much more seamless. That’s because the amount of times the screen samples (or refreshes) movements and inputs is much higher than an average smartphone. Even the latest iPhones go with a 60Hz refresh rate. When you combine this with the low latency of the redesigned S-Pen, you also get a super-smooth drawing and note-taking experience. 

Setup Process: Android-friendly, with some Samsung complications
If you’ve ever set up an Android device, these steps will be pretty familiar, especially if you already have a Google account to log into. There will be the option to “clone” another tablet or phone, allowing you to pre-download apps, import contacts, transfer photos, etc. If you opt to just start from scratch, you’ll be dropped right into the OS, free to download whatever you want, though you will have to manually log in.

In true flagship Android fashion, there’s a litany of options to make your experience more personalized. I recommend setting up the biometrics (the S7’s fingerprint sensor is on the side button, and the face recognition works nicely) and customizing your S-Pen features. I also recommend perusing the side menu options, because it’s here that you can set up some app favorites, including some multitasking pairs that allow you to automatically open sets of apps in split-screen mode.








Performance: Snappy without much slow-down
The Tab S7 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+ processor—essentially the fastest mobile chip on the market outside of Apple’s proprietary Bionic series tablet chips. To be fair, in raw shootouts, the iPads’ A12X chip does do better on raw CPU scores. For instance, Geekbench puts the Tab S7 around 900 on single-core and over 2700 on multi-cores. These are respectable numbers, to be fair, but the iPad Pro routinely gets over 1,000 on the single-core score and more than double the S7’s number with multi-core. 

The story isn’t (and shouldn’t be) about benchmarks in a vacuum. It’s about how the tablet feels in everyday use. The Tab S7 is extraordinarily snappy during typical usage. Things like web browsing, YouTube, and general productivity tasks all feel every bit as fluid as you’d expect on a standard laptop or on an iPad Pro. This is thanks both to the top-tier Snapdragon processor and the 6GB of RAM that comes standard in the base version (though you can bump it up to 8GB with higher-spec models), but also the 120Hz display.

In a lot of ways the high-refresh display will smooth over the stutters you’re used to with slower screens. I’ll get into the graphics processing in the gaming section later, but the Adreno 650 seems perfectly capable of handling almost any pressure I tried to put on it. The unit I have comes with a 128GB capacity, but both the Tab S7s can be configured as high as 1TB. This feels a little superfluous because every Tab S7 also comes with a microSD card slot for storage expansion. 







The S-Pen: A clever tool at no extra cost
Most high-end tablets these days come with an expectation that you can use them for at least basic digital design work. That, in most cases, means using a stylus for sketching. The iPad Pro line does have excellent pen compatibility, but they require you to buy the Apple Pencil separately (which will cost you an extra $129). 

One of the biggest selling points of the Tab S7 is that it comes bundled with the S-Pen, and thanks to less than 9ms of latency from the pen and the 120Hz fluidity of the screen, it feels impressively responsive and smooth. The pen itself is larger than the counterpart that comes on the Galaxy Note series, but quite a bit smaller and lighter than the Apple Pencil. 

If you pressed me on it, I would say that I prefer the feel of Apple’s stylus because it is slightly thicker and slightly heavier. But, the extra Bluetooth functionality on the S-Pen (using it as a shutter remote for the camera or a way to play/pause music) makes it a more compelling productivity tool. I also like that it magnetically snaps on to the back to charge and is covered safely by the keyboard case rather than just precariously sitting on the side in your bag like on the iPad Pro. 








Cameras: Enough to tide you over
Cameras on a tablet have become the butt of a lot of jokes, and it is true that it looks silly holding up a giant tablet to take a selfie at a national park. In the case of the smaller Galaxy Tab S7, I actually think it’s less cumbersome to take pictures. Because it’s an 11-inch screen, it isn’t the largest tablet in the world, and because the aspect ratio is pretty narrow when holding in portrait mode, it actually feels less awkward to hold it out for some quick pictures. 

The rear cameras available are a 13MP standard wide-angle system alongside a 5MP ultrawide. They’re similar in quality to what you’ll find on past generations of Galaxy phones, and because Samsung’s photo software is included here, you’ll get bells and whistles like pro-level controls, Night Mode, and more. Samsung has gone with an 8MP wide-angle lens on the front which is actually really solid for video calls. And because it’s positioned on the top-middle bezel when the tablet is in landscape mode, it’s placed much better than on most tablets which end up on the side when you put them in landscape mode. 








Battery Life: Impressively reliable
If the AMOLED panel is the chief selling point on the Tab S7+, then the battery life is the standout feature on the standard Tab S7. That’s not by coincidence either because the Tab S7 uses LCD technology, and that LCD is much smaller, so the battery doesn’t have to work nearly as hard to keep your viewing experience great. This may seem odd because the 8,000mAh battery in the Tab S7 is smaller than the 10,000mAh offered on the Tab S7+. But because the LCD is so much more efficient, even at reasonable brightness levels, I was able to easily get the 15 hours of use out of the tablet that Samsung promises on its websites. 

The other thing to consider here is the fact that Samsung has included its Super Fast Charging functionality via the USB-C port. Though, because there isn’t a 45W charging brick in the box, you’ll have to provide your own to get those speeds. I was easily able to get a full recharge (from nearly zero) with just about 2 hours plugged in.

The 5 Best Roku TVs of 2021

Our editors independently research, test, and recommend the best products; you can learn more about our review process here. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links.

A Roku-enabled television allows you to access all of your favorite streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ without the need for any extra equipment. If you're familiar with the Roku streaming stick or box devices, you'll have no problem adjusting to having the platform built into your new TV. The simplified hub menu puts your apps, DVD players, game consoles, and even cable and satellite inputs in one place for easy access without having to memorize input locations or navigate confusing menus. You can also choose between 1080p and 4K resolution for your new Roku TV. If you plan on cutting the cord with your cable or satellite provider, you may want to spring for a 4K television since many streaming services now offer shows and movies in ultra-high definition. If you only occasionally stream movies, a 1080p full HD television will suit you just fine. For customers who have started to set up smart home networks or use virtual assistants, many Roku-based televisions work with a companion mobile app to turn your smartphone or tablet into a voice-enabled remote. They also are compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home smart speakers so you can use Alexa or Google Assistant to control your new TV and its connected devices.

While some brands like TCL don't include Bluetooth connectivity in their Roku TVs, they do have HDMI ARC connections which allow you to set up sound bars and home audio systems for an enhanced listening experience when streaming music or a more immersive cinematic experience while watching the latest films or classic TV shows. Roku TVs are also a great, budget-friendly option when shopping for a new smart TV. Brands like TCL and Hisense work to keep their prices down in order to make 4K resolution and streaming capabilities more affordable for everyone. With a variety of screen sizes from as small as 32 inches to 75-inch screens, a Roku TV will be at home in almost any room from college dorms to rec rooms and home theaters. Check out our top picks to see which Roku TV is right for you.

Best Overall: TCL 50S535 50-INCH 4K QLED Roku TV

TCL has established itself as one of the top manufacturers of Roku-capable televisions, and the 50-inch 5-Series continues that legacy. This model uses QLED technology popularized by Samsung as well as an all-new processing engine to produce stunning 4K UHD resolution with Dolby Vision HDR support as well as over 1 billion colors for more true-to-life images. The screen has around 80 contrast control zones to create deep, inky blacks and bright, clean whites for enhanced contrast and detailing, and the ultra-narrow bezel gives you an edge-to-edge picture for a more immersive experience. Console gamers will love the automatic game mode, which detects when your console is connected and turned on, adjusting picture settings and refresh rates to reduce input lag as well as screen tearing. 

If you use a virtual assistant, you can connect an external smart speaker like the Amazon Echo or Google home for hands-free voice controls; you can also download the Roku app to your mobile device to use voice commands for browsing content. With the Roku platform, all of your input connections and apps are together in a single, simplified hub menu, eliminating the need to memorize inputs and navigate confusing lists to find a movie or show to watch. The back of the TV has integrated cable management channels to help keep your cords and cable organized as well as 4 HDMI inputs so you can connect all of your favorite game consoles and playback devices at once.

Best Value: Hisense 65R8F 4K ULED Roku TV

For customers looking to get the maximum amount of features in a new smart TV without breaking the bank, the Hisense 65-inch R8 series is the best choice. This model uses Hisense's proprietary ULED technology to produce 4K resolution and over 1 billion colors, and the ultra-narrow bezel creates an edge-to-edge picture that looks great in any setting. The dual speakers work with Dolby Atmos technology to produce virtual surround sound audio without the need to set up extra speakers or subwoofers; perfect for homes, dorms, and apartments that are short on space. 

The Roku platform has preloaded apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video so you can watch your favorite shows and movies right out of the box, and with built-in Wi-Fi, you can download thousands of other apps to stream everything from classical music to the hottest summer blockbuster films. The TV comes packaged with a voice-enabled remote that has Google Assistant built in and works with Alexa for hands-free controls over your TV as well as for browsing media. If you're worried about kids watching anything they shouldn't, the integrated V-Chip allows you to set up parental controls, blocking inappropriate shows and movies from being accessed when you aren't looking.

Best Budget: TCL 40S325 40-inch 1080p Smart TV

If you're shopping on a budget, don't worry; TCL's 40S325 features a 40-inch FullHD 1080p display with a backlit LED panel. The picture itself may not blow higher-priced models out of the water, but the Full HD resolution display still provides a crisp and enjoyable watching experience. For connecting to any of Roku's online experiences, the TV also features built-in Wi-Fi.

If you need to plug in any of your favorite peripherals, the television features three HDMI ports, one composite A/V input, a digital optical audio output, a 3.5mm audio out jack, and RF input. A more humble offering than the other options on this list, we recommend the 40S325 if you need an upgrade, and need one now. Otherwise, we do suggest looking at some of our 4K recommendations for a TV that offers a bit more longevity.

Best Splurge: TCL 75R635 6-Series 75-Inch 4K QLED Roku Smart TV

If you are working with a larger budget when shopping for a new Roku TV, the TCL 75R635 is a great option.

The Ultimate Roku TV Buying Guide

TCL is the most popular brand of Roku-enabled television, although other companies like Sharp and Hisense also have models that use the streaming platform. Roku acts much like AppleTV, FireTV, or other smart television operating systems; it allows you to download streaming apps directly to the TV without the need for external equipment. The Roku operating system uses a universal hub menu to put all of your devices, inputs, and apps in one place for quick and easy access, eliminating the need to memorize input locations and navigate complicated submenus. Many Roku-enabled televisions have hands-free voice controls either through smart speakers like the Amazon Echo or Google Home or the Roku mobile app.

Most also have support for HDR technology, including Dolby Vision, to produce stunning details, color ranges, and contrast for incredibly lifelike images. Some even use QLED technology in their display panels for enhanced color volume and brightness, putting Roku TVs in the same tier as higher-end competitors like LG or Sony. If you're a console gamer, many Roku TVs have dedicated game modes which reduce input lag and adjust refresh rates for smooth on-screen action. There are many other factors to consider when shopping for a Roku-enabled television, such as screen size, price, and input connections. We'll break down some of the more important ones to help you decide which is right for you.

Screen Size

Contrary to what some TV manufacturers would have you believe, there is such a thing as a TV that is too big for your space. The best way to find the perfect size television for your space is to pick a spot to either wall mount your TV or place it on a dedicated stand and measure the distance to your seating. Dividing that measurement in half gives you the ideal TV size for your space. For example, if you sit 10 feet (120 inches) from your TV, the best size would be a 60-inch television. Having a TV that is too large for a space runs the risk of letting you see individual pixels or picture noise, resulting in a muddy, less detailed picture. 

Motion blur can also be a problem if you buy a TV that's too big; having a constantly fuzzy picture can ruin any movie night or binge watch party. It may also cause motion sickness if you sit too close to a large television. The downside to a TV that is entirely too small for a space is that everyone will have to crowd around the screen to watch movies and shows, giving you the experience of an overcrowded movie theater in your own home. Screens that are too small also make it difficult to see details or subtitles unless you sit very close. Dorms, apartments, kitchens, and children's playrooms benefit from smaller screens while living rooms, outdoor spaces, and dedicated home theaters are best suited to larger screens.

Price

So you've measured your space to see how big your TV should be, the next most important factor is price. Are you working with a limited budget, or are you able to spend a little extra to get the features you want? Roku-enabled televisions are available at a variety of price points ranging from less than $200 to several thousand dollars. Lower-priced models will often have fewer smart features, foregoing built-in voice controls or 4K resolution in favor of affordability. Mid-range TVs give you more to work with like preloaded apps, HDR support and 4K resolution, or app-enabled voice controls; they may also not give you features like Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio equipment setup or screen mirroring, preventing you from sharing your smartphone or tablet screen to the TV. The highest priced Roku TVs seem to give you everything you could ever want in a smart TV: QLED panels, 4K resolution with Dolby Vision support, virtual surround sound, dedicated game modes, ambient light and noise sensors, preloaded apps, and voice controls. 

When deciding on a budget for your new TV, it's best to consider what kind of use it will get. Are you looking for a secondary TV for your bedroom or kitchen? Is it going in your kids' playroom? Or are you looking to upgrade your main TV in the living room or home theater? A TV that isn't going to see much use, like a bedroom or kitchen TV, may not need all the bells and whistles, whereas one that will be your main source of family entertainment should provide more ways to share videos, photos, and music with everyone.

Screen Resolution
The screen resolution that is right for your home theater solely depends on what kind of content you regularly watch. Televisions with native 4K resolution have become more and more popular as ultra high-definition content has become available for streaming and broadcast. These models also feature processors that can upscale non-4K content for consistent picture quality; meaning your old DVDs or over-air shows will look just as great as Blu-Rays or UHD streamed movies. TVs that produce 4K resolution have four times the pixels of their 1080p HD predecessors, meaning that more detail can be packed on the screen. However, just because they're becoming more and more popular doesn't mean that 4K is the right choice for everyone. 

There are still Roku-enabled TVs as well as other smart TVs that use full 1080p HD. They give you all the smart features you come to expect like streaming video and music and voice controls, but they are made for those who prefer cable, satellite, or over-air broadcast to streaming. You still get a great picture with 1080p HD, including wide color ranges and good contrast, but the detailing isn't anywhere near as great as 4K. But unless you have a Blu-Ray player or exclusively stream UHD movies and shows, you won't notice. The best choice for those who still use cable, satellite, or over-air broadcast channels is 1080p full HD, while those who have cut the cord and exclusively stream their entertainment should opt for 4K.

Final Cut Pro X Update Lets Video Editors Work From Home

The latest update for Final Cut Pro X (FCPX), Apple’s professional video-editing suite, added deep support for collaborative, online, and remote collaboration. It’s the perfect feature update for making TV and movies during a pandemic.

This lets editors and producers work from home without needing to upload and download huge video files over slow home internet connections. In short, FCPX lets TV and movie post-production teams collaborate from home, without compromising the finished product. And that means they can keep making our favorite TV shows even during lockdown.

“With more people working from home it also makes sense to have smaller files to work with remotely to speed up the workflow,” Ste Smith, Head of Post Production at Paragon Pictures, told Lifewire via Twitter DM.

Pandemic Problems

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, movie and TV production shut down, sometimes mid-shoot. At the same time, movie theaters either closed, or scaled down to run at reduced capacity. Back in June, New Zealand reopened cinemas after declaring itself COVID-free (prematurely, it turns out). Despite being safe, box office takings were down at just 17% of normal levels. People just aren’t going to the movies, and many may never go again.

Shooting a movie or TV show in COVID times requires all kinds of difficult distancing and other safety measures, but at least now editing the footage can be done remotely. With just a Mac, a half-decent internet connection, and the latest FCPX update, editors and producers can collaborate. Instead of having to shuffle huge files back and forth between computers in the same locale, smaller files can be used.

This principle isn’t new. Offline editing, as it is known, was a way to edit video copies of your film masters, then cut the film to match at the end. 

“To me it was more about making editing faster/smoother/less demanding,” videographer and editor Cam Bunton told Lifewire via Twitter.

How Final Cut Pro X's Update Works

FCPX’s new update uses flexible “proxy” files. These are essentially low-resolution stand-ins for the original video files—as low as 1/8 the size, says Apple. Later, when the final cut is assembled, the original, full-resolution files are swapped in. The model is very flexible, with Final Cut able to mix and match original and proxy clips, and integrate with third-party online tools like the Frame.io reviewing and approval service.

New Normal

The pandemic had us all scurrying to work from home, and for many it will prove to be the new normal. Our bosses have realized we don’t all goof off when we’re out of their sight, and we’re all enjoying the extra hours we used to waste commuting.

But can TV and movie production really make a permanent shift to remote working?

Earlier this year, movie and TV composer Fil Eisler was faced with creating an orchestral soundtrack for Empire. He’d scored the beginning of the season with a regular orchestra, but it was no longer possible to put all 35 of those musicians into a room together. Instead, he worked with technicians to have the musicians recorded at home, then patch together the parts into a whole score. 

“It is a huge challenge for the crew,” Eisler told Variety in an interview, “because it’s really three times the amount of work to prep, orchestrate, [and give] additional instructions on the orchestration.”

The example above applies to video editing, as well. It’s the kind of logistical problem the new tools in Final Cut Pro X are meant to solve. It gives editors the ability to keep production going, even in the midst of a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. (Of course, they’ll still need video to edit, but that’s a whole different article).

Proxies also mean editors can get away with using lower-powered computers. Not everyone has a high-powered editing machine in their home.

“[Proxies are] great when you’re editing on a lower-powered Mac that can’t handle higher res files,” says Smith, “so that you can edit quicker and then revert back to the full-res when exporting.”

Is this the future of movie and TV production? We won’t know until we’ve recovered from the pandemic, but at least we can still get the latest episodes of our favorite shows.

The Ultimate Gaming TV Buying Guide

Your choice of television can make or break your gaming experience. If you keep up with the latest trends, you know that developers and console manufacturers alike are pushing into the future of gaming by supporting native 4K resolution, HDR technology, and video sync technology like Nvidia G Sync and AMD FreeSync. These features are also beneficial to anyone who prefers to use a television rather than a monitor for their PC gaming sessions. Video sync technology lowers input lag for near real-time responses to your inputs, letting televisions rival the best gaming monitors; you also get a larger viewing area and the luxury of gaming on your comfy couch rather than being cramped up in an office chair at a desk. If you're a retro gamer devoted to classic consoles and titles, you may not need all the bells and whistles that top-of-the-line TVs offer. You can still buy a TV that gives you excellent 1080p or 720p HD to make colors more vibrant and provides great detailing so you can fall in love with your favorite games all over again.

There are also a variety of screen sizes available to suit your gaming space. Do you have a dedicated media room that's a bit on the smaller side? You may want a 32 or 43-inch television so the space doesn't feel cramped. Do you game in your living room? A 55-inch television is an excellent choice for medium-sized space. Have a home theater that you want to turn into the ultimate gaming room? There are televisions available in sizes from 65 inches all the way to 120 inches to give you a much more immersive experience. Different sizes also come at different price points, making it easier to figure out what kind of budget you're able to work with. There are other important factors to consider when shopping for a dedicated gaming TV, and we'll break them down to help you decide which is right for you.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2020) Review

Our editors independently research, test, and recommend the best products; you can learn more about our review process here. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links.

What We Like

  • Compact 
  • Lightweight
  • 4G compatible
  • Decent sound quality
  • Has a headphone jack

What We Don't Like

  • Doesn’t work with S Pen
  • Relatively low resolution
  • Mediocre rear camera

The Galaxy Tab A 2020 is a decent little tablet, but it’s a bit underwhelming compared to Samsung’s other offerings.

Samsung has long been considered a leader in mobile device innovation, so like most people, I was excited to hear about the release of the budget Galaxy Tab 2020. I was eager to see what this affordable little tablet offered in terms of design, features, and specs. After testing the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2020 for almost a month, it wasn’t exactly what I expected. Here’s my full review of the 8.4-inch Tab A.

Design: Cheaper materials

The Galaxy Tab A is compact and lightweight, weighing only 10.6 ounces. You can easily hold it in one hand, as it measures only 7.95 inches tall and 4.93 wide. It doesn’t feel as sturdy as other Samsung tablets like the Tab S6 though. The back of the Tab A feels as though it’s made of a plastic-like material, instead of aluminum or glass-like other Samsung mobile devices. The back shows fingerprints too, badly.

http://lifewithbaby.co.uk/lwbforum/viewtopic.php?t=88742

On the plus side, the tablet has a headphone jack on top for connecting a pair of headphones or an external speaker. It has a USB-C connector on the bottom and a built-in SIM that you can attach to your preferred wireless provider (it’s compatible with the major providers). 

Display: Good, not great

The 8.4-inch display is reasonably clear, but it’s nothing special. It has a 1920 x 1200 WUXGA resolution and 16M color depth. Shows, movies, YouTube videos, and TikTok videos display nicely, but you can see a difference when you play it next to the Galaxy Tab S6 (which displays 2560 x 1600).

Text displays clearly when browsing the web or reading an email, but I did find myself angling the Tab A upward towards my face when out in direct sunlight. Tab A has an outdoor model, which improved the outdoor picture slightly. But, it still lacked some of the depth and contrast I see in other Samsung devices.

Performance: Samsung Exynos 7904

The Galaxy Tab 2020 has a 1.8 GHz Octa-Core processor, the Samsung Exynos 7904. It has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in storage. You can expand the storage to 512 MB though. This is not an ideal tablet for productivity, as it simply doesn’t have the processing speed. It lags sometimes when orientating between landscape and portrait mode, and it tends to be a little lethargic when it comes to managing multiple tasks simultaneously. The touch screen is slightly oversensitive too, and I found the tablet would frequently over-scroll past my desired target.

On PCMark Work 2.0, it scored a 5406, which is around 40% less than the Snapdragon 855 chip. On Geekbench 5, it received a single-core score of 272 and a multi-core score of 913.

Productivity: No S Pen allowed

The Galaxy Tab A is not compatible with any version of the S Pen. This was a huge disappointment, as a lot of users (myself included) enjoy having the option to use the S Pen, and previous versions of the Tab A were compatible with the stylus.

This is a tablet designed for communication, not productivity. It’s ideal for video calls, messaging, emailing, and social media. It’s also a good option as an on-the-go entertainment device for watching movies and shows or web surfing.

Audio: Not bad

Tab A 2020 has two speakers on the bottom portion of the tablet. It doesn’t appear to have special audio tuning or support for Dolby Atmos, but the audio sounds pretty good, and it’s one of the tablet’s more admirable features. When I’m watching a show, the sound is rich and immersive. Calls also sound clear, and I rarely have trouble hearing the other party. 

Network: Works with the major cellular providers

The Galaxy Tab A works on the 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. The fact that Tab A is such an affordable LTE tablet appears to be what sets it apart. It works on 3G and 4G networks, and it’ll work with the major carriers (Verizon, Sprint/T-Mobile, and AT&T). I tested the tablet on the Sprint/T-Mobile network in my home, which is about 15 miles outside of Raleigh, NC. In my home, I’m able to get about 10 Mbps (download) and 2 Mbps (upload), but the carrier I have is notoriously slow in my area.

When I hopped on Wi-Fi, speeds increased exponentially, and I was able to clock 123/39 Mbps. 


Camera: Better than I expected

The Tab A 2020 has a 5 MP front camera, and it takes decent selfies. I would not use this as my preferred camera though. The rear camera is 8 MP, and it doesn’t have a flash. It does have autofocus, a pro mode, and a few other features. It doesn’t compare to the camera you’d see on a modern flagship phone though. Video resolution maxes out at FHD on both the front and rear cameras. You can take photos and videos indoors or in the daytime in a pinch, but the nighttime camera quality is not very good.

Battery: Lasts a full day

The 5000 mAh battery lasts for up to 12 hours of video playtime. I went into settings and selected a number of battery-draining options to see how much battery time I could get out of the device. I turned the brightness to its max setting and turned the display timeout to 30 minutes, and I was able to get a full day of on and off to use out of Tab A. 

It has a fast-charging USB-C port, and it took three and a half hours to fully charge the battery (from about 10% full).

Software: Android 9, not Android 10 (yet)

The Galaxy Tab A runs on Android 9. It doesn’t yet have the software upgrade to Android 10, but that should come in the near future. 

Tab A has facial recognition, and you can also set a pattern to unlock your screen. It doesn’t have some of the other biometrics like an iris scanner though. 

Price: Affordable for an LTE tablet

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A sells for between $240 and $280, depending on which carrier you have. This is an affordable price point for an LTE tablet, and the low price point appears to be the tablet’s biggest benefit. 

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2020 vs. Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus Tab

The Fire HD 8 Plus is another good option as a budget tablet, offering a 2 GHz quad-core processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB or 64 GB of storage, and a MicroSD slot that supports up to a TB of storage. It provides Alexa and a game mode for a better, distraction-free gaming experience. The camera on the Fire Tab isn’t great though, as the front and rear cameras are only 2 MP. The Fire Tab also doesn’t allow for a cellular connection. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A has some perks like a better front and rear camera, LTE connectivity, and biometrics, but you pay more for those additions. If you just want a basic tab for gaming, emailing, and watching shows on the couch, you’ll like the Fire Tab. If you want a tablet you can use on the go, you’ll like Tab A.

Best Overall: Adobe Premiere Pro

The granddaddy of video editing, Adobe Premiere Pro is the cross-platform, uber-popular timeline based video editor that’s long set the standard for video editing software. Capable of tackling nearly any type of video format, Adobe’s software is ready to produce video for any type of professional production, including film, television and the Web. Premiere Pro offers enough horsepower to handle 360-degree virtual reality video to 8K footage all in native format. It can even import and export footage from competitive software such as Final Cut Pro.

While most professional-grade software can handle multi-cam editing, Premiere Pro goes one step beyond, handling as many sources as necessary with as many angles as required. The inclusion of the bundled Lumetri Color Panel allows advanced color adjustments to be handled with ease. Additionally, Adobe’s integration with After Effects and Photoshop adds even more reason for professional grade editors to choose Premiere Pro.

What We Like

  • Fast hexacore processor for flawless 4K streaming

  • Supports IoT devices
  • Has Dolby Vision encoding support
  • Thousands of free and paid programs available

What We Don't Like

  • A little expensive for a streaming device at $120

The new Amazon Fire TV Cube is a capable, well-featured streaming device for the most discerning 4K streamers and for those invested in the Amazon ecosystem with other IoT devices.

We purchased the Amazon Fire TV Cube so our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and assess it. Keep reading for our full product review.

Updated for 2019, the Amazon Fire TV Cube brings powerful hardware that can stream thousands of channels and apps in full 4K HDR with Dolby Vision encoding. The glowing cube also takes voice commands, basically making it an Echo speaker, but is Alexa’s brainpower and its beefy hexacore processor enough to justify its relatively hefty price tag? I spent 15 hours putting it to the test, read on to see how I liked it. 

Design: Futuristic design powered by Alexa

The Fire TV Cube is a cute, futuristic-looking block that will stand out on your home console despite its 4-inch sides. On the outside, it’s virtually unchanged from the first-generation model. Across the top, there’s a blue LED bar that lights up whenever the Cube takes action. The sides of the cube have a glossy black finish that’s a fingerprint magnet. There’s volume and menu buttons on the top, as well, but we don’t foresee a lot of use for them considering that the Cube comes with a remote. In the back, there’s an HDMI connector, a power adapter port, and a micro USB port.

In order to give users flexibility in how they set up their streaming system, Amazon’s built-in eight directional microphones into the Fire TV Cube, and another into the remote. As long as the Cube is at least a foot away from any audio output sources (i.e. speakers), it should have no problem hearing your voice commands from ten or more feet away. 

The Cube’s voice commands are probably its most distinguishing feature. Unlike the Fire TV Sticks, the Fire TV Cube also functions as an Alexa speaker, meaning it will respond to any voice commands, and more importantly, it has the same capabilities as an Amazon Echo. In other words, it can control your Internet of Things devices, such as smart bulbs, thermostats, and Ring doorbells.

You will also receive an Alexa-enabled remote with your Cube. It has buttons to navigate the UI, but it also has volume and power buttons that will work with your TV. It’s small, about the size of your palm, and it has a matte black finish that will make it easy to grip. The relatively large buttons make it simple to navigate the Cube without looking at the remote, as well.
