Samsung Galaxy A11plus Tablet. Community Advice needed

[TallTrees]

Hello ..Appreciate your "advice various" technical included but most of all your experience. 

I have a Samsung A34 mobile used for most things.  I have recently joined Borrowbox and enjoy reading magazines, newspapers and books.  Using my phone is making me cross-eyed (PC not suitable as I like to sit and scroll etc)  I have looked through quite a few Tablet information and prices .. don't want it too expensive, have plenty of tech. Argos are selling this tab for £179.00 for the 256GB version 11inch screen. It has a sim slot for phone and a slot for a microSD Memory card. It's Android 16 OS.  

Anything better than this for me? 

Seems like good value for money

No information on warranty 

Can it receive phone calls, emails texts etc ?

Says it can with a sim

Can I put my O2 sim in it? .. not desperate for this feature. 

It doesn't come with a charger  (C slot for one though)

Can I use my Samsung phone charger It's a fast charger (so it says)  

Thank you appreciate your advices 🤗 TallTrees

If it is the same one I'm looking at it does not come with a SIM slot. Not sure if that is something you need anyway. At home you can use WiFi and if out just hot spot it to your phone.

Yes, you can use your phone charger 

I have an older model and it is fine for reading

I've  been looking at the 11+ myself

I don't think you can beat a Samsung personally

Go for that one

You may find the same one cheaper if you shop around but the price is ok

I got mine from Temu for about £118 but if you want to get from a named supplier for your preference and faster delivery times then yes would be my advice

Thanks @Enlli 

Don't need a sim slot .. phone is good and screen is reasonably large.

Mostly at home on WiFi. Good to know you have older model.

Thank you

Thank you @jonsie 

That is good to know.   I have searched around and Argos for the 256GB version is a very good price on the high street. Delivery Sunday to collect at Sainsbury's 

I like to collect now if possible lots of parcels going "walk-about"

I like Samsung good solid value for money.

It's very good to know you were looking at the 11+ too 😀

If you have Airtime Rewards then it's 4% if you buy from Argos at the moment

Hi @Enlli 

Don't have those.  Thanks for the thought.  Don't have nectar either..

@Enlli 

It doesn't have a sim slot.   Not needed. I have read that many...tend to get frazzled 🤣

@Enlli 

Just been told it does have a slot for a sim🤒

There is a carrier for sim back and memory card front .. 🤔

Bought it from Argos this evening.   

Thank you very much @jonsie and @Enlli  for your help and comments 😊 

After I've picked it up .. .. 

I'll do an open box photos "like the old days" when I opened my new Samsung Galaxy A70 and Martin O2  was community manager. 

Then we will  know what it has 🙄 and what it's like.  

Thrilling 🤣
