Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6" 16GB tablet

The Galaxy Tab E 9.6 is a budget Android tablet with a 9.6-inch display, 16GB of storage and a microSD slot for expansion. It is built for light, everyday tasks: streaming, browsing, social media and email. Against rivals like the Amazon Fire HD and Lenovo Tab, it offers a larger screen and full Google Play access, but its low-resolution display, modest processor and older Android version show their age. Owners rate it well for simple use and value, and criticise slow performance and short battery life under heavy use.
