My wife likes tablets in the 7-8" range, and she's had a Galaxy tab A7 since 2016. The A7 is nothing but problems. It has no on board storage and apps 2 SD doesn't function properly. I've tried everything, including rooting. It's useless.
So what options are available to replace it? I see Samsung has a 8" and 8.4" tablets, but some reviews are mixed. Lenovo has a super cheap 8" tablet, but I'm a little reluctant to buy from one of the "off brands" (off, as in not a big name TABLET manufacturer).
Pretty much her only use is media: Plex, Netflix, Amazon prime. She would probably also use it for social media if it can handle it. Her A7 can't handle having more than 2-3 non-stock apps installed at once, so she can't currently use it for social media. Given the use case, it must also have decent speakers, 3.5mm jack, decent battery life, and preferably at least capable of 1080p video (720 will do if the price is right). Only wifi is needed, by I would consider one with a radio if the other specs were good.
