Hey, I am in the market for a good 8 inch tablet for doing video calls etc. It will be used by the older generation. So looking at something that is easy to use, cost effective and durable.
I have been using a samsung 8" for 4 years now (touchwood!). Pretty good display, simple and good user interface. Only downside is it is not loud enough - you may need a headphone if the other party speaks soft. Look for Tab A series.
