What customers say about "Key Specs"

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T230) 7-inch Tablet

Size is perfect and screen bright. Pictures sharp.
Great little tablet and at a great price, easily held in one hand and very good screen quality.
The screen is very good nice resolution on screen.
Crystal clear screen with vivid colours is adept at showing video and also shows PDFs clearly.
Lovely screen resolution. Great tablet.

ASUS Nexus 7 7 inch Tablet

Amazed just how easy to connect new Nexus 7 replacing old one and get all existing apps downloaded, installed and connected.
Very impressed, easy set up, good battery life, nice screen, connects to 5mhz wifi and simply flies.
Beautiful design, excellent OS, light, sleek, brilliant HD screen, wifi connectivity fine, my girlfriend loves it. I have nothing more to say.
Have had problems getting it connected to our Broadband/Wi-Fi account - a Talk-Talk engineer is coming to sort it out--a little frustrating though as there were no instructions with the Tablet from the seller.
The storage on this is quite low though at only 16GB however I've never found this to be a problem as I use cloud storage for most things such as pictures and music.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T230) 7-inch Tablet

It is nice and quick and the screen is very nice.
It is a lovely size, nice screen, great sound and brilliant battery life.
Crisp display and at 7" a nice viewing area. Steams movies well with very minimal issues.
The display is absolutely beautiful.
This tablet has a very beautiful display.

ASUS Nexus 7 7 inch Tablet

First off, the picture quality is fantastic. You can tilt the screen in any direction and it doesn't fade or lose clarity.
Packing this resolution into a 7" screen means no visible pixels which is a worthwhile bonus.
It has a good screen - clear and sharp with rich colours.
Superb battery life not bogged down with bloatware, connects to WiFi easily, nice size, a very dependable tablet.
I thought a small screen would be an issue but it works well and you can increase the font size to make it readable.

I bought it mainly for watching vids so can't comment on the gaming performance but everything I've done on this tablet has been fast and smooth.
The performance hasn't dropped since its purchase. Everything runs smoothly, the screen is as bright as ever.
Perfect in every way, quality tablet with no hitches/glitches or lagging.
This is great. It's so much better than my gen 1. The processor speed is better, the screen is sharper and it's a great size to fit in your pocket. I use it every day. Love it! Love it! Love it!
Screen quality is great and we've yet to trouble the processor, which seems to take everything in it's stride.

Easy and simple UI, fantastic screen res, great cameras.

ASUS Nexus 7 7 inch Tablet

Sound is excellent. Not at all tinny, in fact the amount of bass surprised me.
Together with the stereo speakers, the tablet is very good for watching TV and movies on, too. Amazon Video works a treat.
The sound is surprisingly good for such a small device.
The android OS allows you to create restricted user profiles for kids. Simpy a great product.
The sound volume is louder than previous gen but still not as loud as it could be!
