This phone is arguably the best Android smartphone that you can buy today. It's like having a very portable, network-connected computer in your pocket. Plus it has a superior camera to other phones and most point-and-shoot cameras, and it has a superior screen display. I use the camera, Wifi, and Skype extensively when traveling abroad. My only beef (a minor one) is that there are so many apps and options, the processor is so fast and the screen is so sensitive, that you can inadvertently open unintended apps and features. It takes a while to become accustomed to all its features and to customize them to your preferences. BestBuy sometimes has the best discounts. You should also buy a high-quality protector case and screen protector to protect your investment.

This model may have been discontinued but its a great buy; and for many, it may be the best buy in high quality headphones that they will find. I compose as well as listen to music on my computer and frequently watch YouTube videos on my tablet using these headphones. I was so impressed by the high audio quality of these headphones at such a reasonable cost that I ended up buying three of them, including one for a friend. They are higher impedence (requiring more power) than most earbuds and therefore require higher volume settings. But their clarity, stereo separation, and broad frequency response are astonishing. I've been disappointed with other highly rated headphones that I've purchased, but these have proven to be very pleasing to my ears. A shorter snap-in-place cable with 3.5mm plug is available for more convienent use on the go or with smaller portable devices.

Watch movies or check emails with this Samsung Galaxy Tab A. It has a 10-inch screen for easy viewing, and the octa-core processor keeps up with multitasking or streaming. This Samsung Galaxy Tab A has a battery life of up to 13 hours on one charge for convenient portability and long-lasting use.

I was initially disappointed and hesitated to purchase the 2016 model of this tablet because I was hoping for the same or better screen resolution and quality, same or better processor, and as much internal memory as either of the 2015 S2 models. Some of the tech reviews were critical for this reason. But I wanted the same screen dimensions as my S7 cell phone, but with a bigger screen in a wi-fi device, so that I can get the most viewing ease out of android applications and videos that have a fixed dimension for use on cell phones (e.g. Periscope) without the wasted screen space as black bars. The S2's vertical orientation, as compared to the horizontal orientation of older tablet models, also doesn't make as much sense to me.
I carefully compared applications and images on this model with the identical same on the S2 side-by-side in the store. There was no perceptible difference in performance despite the differences in processors. If anything, pictures seemed to load faster on the Tab "A," Both have the latest Android OS. The "A" had a brighter screen and the S2 model had slightly more rich color saturation and crispness. Emphasis on the word "slightly." I could not detect the very slight difference in screen resolution on identical sample pictures. When I got it home and loaded all of my own apps, I was totally impressed with the excellent screen resolution, color and richness of detail in the display of my videos and pictures. I was also initially concerned about the limited 16GB internal memory, as the OS and apps left just 7 GB of space for data. However fast micro SD cards are so much less expensive now that it's easy and typically more cost-effective to use them than to buy a device with more internal memory. You can add up to a whopping 200 GB of additional storage in a micro SD card (works great in my cell phone) - making this a non-issue for me.
Samsung's S2 tablet has one of the best screens that you can buy and the Tab "A" display also seems much better than most of the competition to me. While this newer item is not discounted like some of the older and more expensive S2 models (newer S2s available later in the summer will not have the same discount), given the display dimensions I wanted and the almost imperceptible difference in performance, it seemed to be a much better value at this time to me.

I want to listen to my TV via headphone and 20' cable & jack. If i plug the cable into my TV, will the sound coming from the speakers be stopped and channeled to my headphones only and will +20' of cable distort the sound coming to the headphones?
It is very likely that the TV is preprogrammed so that the sound stops coming from the speakers when a device is plugged into the dedicated earphone jack. This is programmable on many later TV models so that you can change the settings yourself. As for sound quality, TV broadcasts and video content are usually not at the same higher level of audio quality as most music recordings, so you may not notice any difference whatsoever, even with a greater cable length. There are of course many exceptions, and you may find a slight loss in volume. I would suggest using the highest quality cable extension you can find - but at a reasonable cost. You generally get diminishing returns for every additional dollar you spend on cables over standard cable costs.
