Sadly my faithful Nexus 7 (2013) has died. The touch screen has stopped responding unless I shake and slap it! That's fine when people look at me like I'm a maniac on the tube, but not a good look in front of the CEO in meetings!
I need a new tablet. Now the uses are: web-browsing; email apps, reviewing word/excel and (most importantly) e-reader (kindle) app.
I don't play games and very rarely watch media. I need something small - the Nexus7 was ideal. I've got a Dell XPS super svelte laptop, so this is designed to be even more portable. I don't want to go smaller than 7" nor larger than 9".
Whilst I don't need super powerful, I do want quality. My son has a Hudl2 which is meant to be brilliant and budget. It's horrible and buggy, and the battery is awful. 18 months in, with minimal (no more than 30 mins a week, and always fully shut down), the battery only lasts 50 mins on a full charge. my Nexus is much better even though it's twice as old and is constantly on and heavily used for about an hour a day.
I'm looking at the Samsung S2 8". Is there anything else to consider? I don't want to spend lots, but don't want a budget item!
PS - don't want an apple product!
thanks!
