Galaxy in palm of your hand

A TABLET is the ultimate tech device. It’s big enough to act as a substitute for your bulky laptop but small enough to sit comfortably in your hand while you’re relaxing on the couch, on a plane or in a doctor’s waiting room.

A tablet and The Chronicle digital access is the perfect combination for staying up-to date with the latest news. But there’s also so much more you can do on your tablet. Here are five suggestions.

1. Watch a movie.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A’s eight-inch screen means you have a portable mini-movie screen wherever you go. The widescreen display’s blue-light filter helps to balance brightness, even when outside.

2. Read a book.

Load up your tablet with your favourite books so they’re easy to access whenever you have a few minutes of reading time.

3. Plan a holiday.

Research your next trip from the comfort of your couch on your tablet. And when your trip arrives, make sure your tablet is one of the first things you pack. You won’t even need to pack a separate camera – the Samsung Galaxy Tab A’s 5MP front camera and enhanced rear camera mean you’re covered for great holiday snaps.

4. Play games.

Transform your tablet into a portable gaming device and be occupied for hours.

5. Read a magazine.

You can also redeem your digital access to The Courier-Mail+ or The Daily Telegraph+ to get access to exclusive offers and rewards through their +Rewards program. Through +Rewards you can enjoy a 12-month digital magazine subscription. Your tablet allows you to flick through the pages just as you would a hard copy.
