If you are reading this with a smartphone, you probably find it a bit of a challenge. That small screen works pretty well for text messages and photos, but as the subject matter gets bigger, lots of scrolling and maybe finger moves to enlarge things once in a while. This is why you could appreciate a tablet.
Tablets are typically a bigger version of the phone you use, sharing the same OS (operating system) and hopefully, the same gestures you use on your phone: scrolling, swiping left or right, and using pinch and finger movements to zoom the image. A tablet is basically a big phone when some offer video calling. So you could quickly become familiar with one and would enjoy it..
Never mind that you might think it's too technical, it isn't! hereal problem is cost. Most new tablets start in the hundreds. But better deals are found in used (refurbished) models that are sold by reputable companies, with warranties. Prices can be as low as $50 for tablets with 10" screens. Mot common, but sometimes? Yes.
Yes, like phones, there are several brands of tablets. And most of them run on some version of the Android OS. Only the iPhone is unique as the only phone with the Apple OS, which, while offering similar functions, is typically an easier OS to work with, if you use an Android phone, you would probably be quick to understand an Android tablet.
One interesting option in this game is the Amazon Fire Tablet. Introduced a few years ago as the Kindle, it is now rebranded as the Kindle Fire. And as an Amazon product, it is quite inexpensive because it is an ad-deliverysystem: You get a variaty of ads on the screen when you are not working with it. Again, you get ads everywhere, and robot phone calls, and many web pages have ads along the side, so of course now on the Fire tablets! But it does let the Fire tablets be sold at really cheap prices for a new, and pretty much full-featured tablets for as little as $50.
At least try one! You can return it! Easy as it gets, just set it for a return, box it up in original packing, take a picture of the QR code from the email you will get, take it to the FedEx store. and they send it back. Done! Really, give the Fire 7" a test run.
