Good for the money. Barely.

Phone owned for less than a month

My 4 year old ASUS ZenPad died tragically and unexpectedly, so I had to scramble to find a replacement because I need a tablet most days. The one I want is the Galaxy Tab S6, but I don't buy flagship devices at full retail, so it'll be at least 6 more months before I go there. The price for this tablet was right, at $82 out the door, and having 4g instead or wifi was a huge plus for me. $10 a month for the data plan is the best part of this tablet. Don't bother paying for he $30 plan because the display isn't good enough to be able to appreciate HD video. But after having it for a few days, I can say I would be extremely unhappy with it had I paid the full retail. It is a $50 tablet all day long, and not a penny more. The graphics performance is literally the worse than an Android device I have ever had, and I was playing with Android before it was up and running on any actual phone! The screen is just eh. And this thing is sluggish sometimes. I've got 5 year old phones kicking around here that perform WAY better that this thing. It's pretty bad. But, when I consider the cost, I don't hate it. Work withing it's glaring limitations and you've got a nice little tablet to slip into your pocket.
