Specifically, the display features:

• 8.7-inch TFT screen
• 800 x 1340 pixels, 5:3 ratio (~179 ppi density)
• 60Hz refresh rate.

Get an ultra-amazing viewing experience from anywhere. Vision Booster automatically adjusts brightness and contrast so you see every vibrant detail — even in sunlight.

Camera

The camera package on the Galaxy tablet is decent enough for intent functionalities.  At 2MP, the front-facing camera is not the best for taking selfies but would be instrumental for conference video calls and video chatting.

Installed at the handset’s rear is an 8 MP AF primary camera that records 1080p videos. It could be better, but considering this is a tablet, it is decent enough to get work done.
