What Samsung tablet to get....... help please

Hi,

Looking to purchase a tablet for our 14year old daughter,
It will be mainly used for internet, social media, pictures (taking and editing) and a few games /aps.


We looked at the Samsung tab A, the S2 and E tab but not sure what to get.
If anyone can shed some light I'd be really grateful.

Many thanks

    Can I ask why specifically Samsung tablets ?

    I have the S2 in the 8 inch screen version and I find its great. You can add extra storage if need be.

    I chose a Tab E. It's not the super top spec but is great for browsing, Netflix etc & it's cheap to add a micro SD card if you need extra storage.

    Was thinking Samsung as she has an android phone, I love the fact that a sd card can be added (love my iPad but filled to the brim nowadays - won't replace until it doesn't work anymore).

    I've heard that some of them will not be updateable.
    Don't know how old the technology is on the E or A models.

    She won't be using it for homework as she has access to a laptop for that.

    I bought the Galaxy Tab A and haven't been disappointed with it.
