Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6″ SM-T560NZKUXAR Review

This is a Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6" SM-T560NZKUXAR Review of my new tablet. It's ironic. My 2-year-old granddaughter used my old Samsung 10" Notebook daily, but I was the one who broke it. I forgot that I had it on my lap and when I got out of the car, it fell on concrete. It still worked, but the tablet screen was cracked. Since my granddaughter uses it, I decided to get a new one.

Read why I chose this model instead of another notebook.

Why I Love My Galaxy Tab E 9.6


First, the Galaxy Tab E is easy to use. My granddaughter can turn it on, swipe the screen to unlock, hit the "YouTube Kids" icon, and watch videos.

Instead of my PC, I carry my tablet everywhere. It is compact and lightweight. I can easily fit it in my purse and it is a better size for my granddaughter to grasp. I use it just like my PC. When I know I will be typing a lot (for a blog post), I use my PC. Otherwise, the 9.6" is perfect.

The navigation is simple. From any screen, I can hit the back or home button located on the bottom of the device and return to where I have been or go back to the home display.

The camera takes clear pictures and videos. I am not a photographer, but for me, the pictures are of good quality for a device that is not a camera.

I can watch TV shows on it. The screen size is large enough to make the shows enjoyable to watch. I watch TV while riding in the car (as a passenger)! I just plug in my earphones and get caught up on shows that I have missed.

Checking my emails and Facebook is so easy. Of course, I love to play Pyramid Saga and Candy Crush on it.

  • Built-In Cameras - It has a front and rear built in camera that takes crisp pictures and videos. It is easy to take selfies with one click.
  • Kids Mode - Since my tablet is shared with my granddaughter, this is a must have feature.

Product Performance

For the techies and power users, look at the specification sheet pictured below. If you are that interested, then you probably want a higher end model. For everyday users like myself, this tablet performs very well. In fact, I have not noticed a difference in performance from my 10" notebook. The old one would freeze up on occasion. In 8 months of daily usage, I have not had to restart my tablet due to freezing.

It can stream up to 12 hours of video, although I have never come close to that. Who has 12 hours to watch videos?

I love the Android operating system. One reason is that I have an Android smartphone. Life is slightly easier when you have the same operating systems on both devices. You can easily share data and applications. However, this is not a necessity. I do not share data between the two and there many people who own an Apple iPhone and an Android Tablet.

The cameras are autofocus and are 5 megapixels (rear) and 2 megapixels (front for selfies).

The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow me to connect to the internet just about anywhere.
