So currently I have a google nexus 7 (2013 edition) but I find
the 7 inch screen a bit cumbersome and small , esspecially when
web browsing.
Until recently, practically all android tablets have come in a
16:10 ratio.
I would like a tablet in the more square 4:3 format, like an iPad is, becuase it
just works better for me. With 4:3, you get more width in
portrait mode, and more height in landscape. You also get more
screen area with 4:3 than you do for an equivalent 16:10 tablet
with the same diagonal size. Apps feel more natural in 4:3.
Websites work better. There is also more room for the keyboard
in landscape with 4:3. Everything seems to fit better (bar 16:9
video, but i don't mind the black bars).
The direct upgrade would be The Google Nexus 9, but it's a lot
more expensive than the google nexus 7 and for that price you
can get an iPad Air.
I am also considering the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (8 inch version)
as a cheaper alternative.
These are the only two android tablets so far that I've found to
have the 4:3 screen ratio.
Does anyone know where I could get these tablets at the cheapest price? Are there any "Trade in your google nexus 7 for a nexus 9" offers? Any good January sales offers on?
Please advise.
