Open to suggestions for a replacement. Looking for smaller than 10", faster, well under $200, wifi only, and not Apple.
I have the A7 Lite which is the smaller one than the A7. A7 Lite is 8.7" which I think is a good size. It is much faster than my old Samsung Tab E 8" tablet. That was the reason I switched from the Tab E because it has gotten super slow to use when starting up any apps.
The tablet feels premium even though it is only about $110. I use it to read news and watch videos and such. Apps startup very fast and battery last a long time. I wish it has some kind of fingerprint sensor though. The face recognition is NOT good at all, so I either have to use pin or pattern to unlock it. Once in a blue moon it would see my face and unlock it.
