Wow is it fast!
Colors are as good as my Tab S 8.4
Battery seems to be quite good.
It definitely does a better job as a remote interface for my Desktop Office PC than the Tab A
The 4G LTE connection works well.
It synced up fine to my keyboard and mouse.
It is "obviously" bigger and heavier than the TAB A. But the resolution is superb!
I think the 8" is better for a "reading" tablet for kindle, just for the form factor.

I'm sure the Samsung Tab S3 is better, but there is no GSM/LTE version that works fully with T-Mobile.
At $275 that looks pretty good...
