Tablet purchase advice

To answer my question…… ok I understand no problem

That is a 10 inch tablet .
I use an original Galaxy Tab A… it is slooow (like me)
My wife recently bought a Galaxy tab A9+… it is 11 inch and seems much more zippy.

Allow for your declining eyesight and get a larger one next time.

The tablet is primarily used as a simple browser and ereader, Paul. I don’t really trust its security, so any data of value is processed on my desktop in Linux. I’m sorry if my answer seemed flippant.

No problem I understand

Sometimes replies cause others to pick up the story and add to it

So you think an Android tablet is less secure than a Linux PC. ?
I am not sure.
I would not trust a phone, but a tablet not on the phone network and not used outside the home, could be secure if one avoided downloading untrusted apps.
Android is a smaller attack surface than Linux… but that is not the only factor.

I use Proton Pass on my phone–I’ll see if it’s compatible with my tablet. Of course you’re right about shady apps.

I try to avoid opening banking in public but when away in hotel you are a bit stuck. My bank insists on a special app on my phone so when I do a action on my tablet or linux computer it messages me through the app and without my code the transaction does not take place.

One of the reasons I traded in the Apple phone for a motorola was that the Apple kept telling me ‘your face is too blurry’ when I attempted to register for face recognition. Check my avatar–is it blurry??

Even so, I prefer the size of the smaller one. Something 10” just seems too big to me.
