Other users would have to buy it for $119 (around Rs. 7600). It is a great option for those who are frustrated by Windows 8. 

Before upgrading your Windows, you should know that whether your PC has required specifications that are needed for Windows 10. Technical specification Required are :-

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 7 inch Spotted Price Specs Philippines

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 gets spotted! but something is missing.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 comes in similar design but now it features a 7 inch display so making it more rectangular shape than of the old 8 inch model. A reduce in display size is compensated with a increase in resolution at 800 x 1280 making it 16:9 aspect ratio with 216ppi much better than before. This bodes well for 0000 pdfs but still works for movies but preferably on landscape. It is slim at 8.7mm and light at 283g which makes it great for carrying around your bag.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7 inch 2016 Front and Back

We got to look closer, display is bright and clear and it has a dotted patterned back. Sim slot and microSD Card slot is located left side while on the right is the power lock button and volume rocker. On Top is the 3.5mm jack and MicroUSB port. At the back is the primary camera and speaker.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7 inch 2016 Camera, Buttons, Ports

Under the hood, the new Galaxy Tab A 2016 edition packs 1.5GHz Quad-Core Processor coupled with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB Internal Storage. A MicroSD slot is available and supports up to 200GB if you need more storage.

As for optics, just the same setup of 5MP Rear and 2MP Front camera combo which should be enough for your social media captures and sharing. Speaking of sharing, the Galaxy Tab here A 2016 carries the regular set of connectivity - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. There is a sim card tray available so you have phone and messaging features as well as data connectivity on the Go handled by LTE / 3G.

Camera samples look here:

Just basics here as they only carry basics with aperture size of f/2.2. Yet i was surprise with the Selfie as it was decent still compared to local brands with 2MP front cameras.

Runs on Android 5.1 but less of bloats. Oddly enough it lacks Microsoft suites which we can find via other Samsung models. Does have visual controls like control font and also features gestures and motion control. We have not encountered lags while navigating through the device.

Battery is reduced at 4000mAh but with more updated chipset and redduce screen size it should do better job staying alive or always on.

The major drawback however is that it looks like for Galaxy Tab A 2016, Samsung has do away the SPen. I am sure artist, writers, creatives and scribblers would miss this feature.

To conclude, Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 is a reliable tablet with decent performance with Phone capabilities and LTE. Although we miss the SPen as it was the signature of the A series.

Spotted via Abenson website for 9,990 Pesos! Guess with trimmings of some features it cost less.

It is also now available with selected Samsung Concept stores. No demo unit yet but they have it.

Apple introduces a smaller iPad Pro, sporting a smaller 9.7 inch at 2048 x 1536 resolution with Wide color and True Tone display, True Tone Display uses ambient light sensors to adapt the color and intensity of the display to match the light in your environment. Night Shift feature is also new feature that puts a blue filter on the screen so as your eyes won't be strained when using in Low Light condition and helps you sleep. Same design aesthetics as of its bigger sibling but 9.7 inch will come in Rose Gold color other than Silver, Gold and Space Gray.

Internally, it packs the same A9x chipset with M9 coprocessor with 2GB RAM. Storage options comes in 32GB, 128GB and now 256GB. Not much of a difference there but with smaller display size, 9.7-inch iPad Pro should be more efficient.

9.7-inch iPad Pro comes with better iSight camera at 12MP BSI with f/2.2 aperture, 5-element lens, and Hybrid IR Filter proted by Sapphire Crystal Lens Cover supported by True Tone Flash. Front Facetime camera is at 5MP with f/2.2. Huge difference compared to 8MP rear / 1.2MP front of 12.9 inch iPad Pro.

Apple Pencil is supported by the 9.7 inch model and also will have a keyboard case accessory for working with documents. Newer accessories were also revealed such as USB camera adpater and SD Card Reader which let you connect and host USB devices and storage (Finally).

It has up-to-dates internal hardware with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 coupled by 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB Internal Storage! Talk about huge storage space if thats not enough it also supports MicroSD card slot. Talk about power house innards in ther realm of Windows Mobile that is.

HP did really focus on Continuum that enables the Elite X3 to be turned into desktop via HP Desk Dock so you could plug it into external display as well as has an Ethernet port, two USB A sockets and one USB Type-C connector as well as lets you to charge the device. There is also HP Mobile Extender turning your Elite X3 into a 12.5-inch HD Laptop that weighs under 2.2lbs (1kg).
