I need some basic advice?
Have never owned tablet...been looking at this? My phone is htc 2011? with android system which is easy to relate. May be some silly ?'s but, can i use this out and about without other internet? can i use phone to connect it for this tablet? I am not looking for anything super fancy, nor does the camera need to be awesome. Would this be a level 1-basic tablet to purchase for just everyday type stuff? Or if anyone has better ideas-different brand etc., I would be so grateful. Also, being 1st tab purchase i don't wish to spend much. Thanks!
I think that the Samsung Tab A is an excellent choice. I would recommend avoiding entry level tablets, as their life span isn't but a couple of years. Battery life becomes poor, and as upgrades come out, you will find that upgrades will choke the processor, and if you don't upgrade, some apps won't run well.
As to the remote use, I turn my phone into a hot spot (free with Verizon), and can use it easily. I have found that mapping programs don't work too well as a GPS in this mode because of lag time.
Hope this helps.
