I have a new tablet! It is 7.0 inches, 600 x 1024 pixels, Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. Even though it is old, it is really nice and comes with a quad-core CPU and 1GB RAM, which is quite enough for the release date 2015. And it is also surprisingly fast, compared to many other older tablets that are absolutely laggy, this one is absolutely smooth.



So, as usual, I started looking for games and software to install on the device, and remembered my favourite, slightly Trackmania-like game, Jet car stunts, and also Jet car stunts2. I remember it was a really good game, and it still is, and runs very smoothly. Of course I had to download .apks as the tablet runs on the old Android 4.4.4. But for such an old device that does not access the internet and is not used to store sensitive data, this is not a problem.



I am still going to find some more games, but i have also downloaded some interesting yet, such as some traditional bomberman clone, Plants vs. Zombies which i do not really enjoy, but why not. And also some arkanoid and pinball clones. But.. for arkanoid and pinball i am still looking for some better games, as these i have found are just some silly overloads with hundreds of microtransactions. So i must give another try to something more "classic".





But the thing that surprised me the most was the state of the battery. The tablet was "dead" when I received it. However, after charging to full, the tablet sat untouched on the table, and after a week, it still had 82% of its battery left. And it is awesome, if I take in mention that I have some 5-6 years old phones, with batteries I take care of (regular charging and discharging after some time), their batteries are completely dead...
