I bought one of these for the last time it was for $180. Got $60 for my 2016 Galaxy Tab A that was getting really sluggish and had a light bleed on the top right of the screen. For the most part, I'm really happy with this tablet. I won't do iPad's cause of the aspect ratio for videos. I mainly use mine for checking feeds on in the morning, having a game on it while I have something else on the TV, and for movies & TV shows when I travel (remember that?). I've tried Amazon Fire Tablets twice now, and returned both. Even though you can install Google Play on it for other apps to make it useful, the eco system sucks. What they should do is put Alexa over a pure Android tablet and not worry about their own echo system. I was worried about the 2GB at first, but decided to try it out. It's lighter then my old 2016 Tab A, and I like that. I could easily read one hand with it and the case I bought for it. Like the USB-C charging, much improvement over fighting with the cable on my old one. Everything else for the most part is pretty snappy. Opening, closing, switching between apps is a breeze. The only time I feel it be a little sluggish is when I'm rotating the screen from landscape to portrait or vice versa. But I don't do that too often switching between them (it's usually in one or the other for a long period of time) so it's not that big of a deal. Other then that it's great. Love the aspect ratio, full Google Play store/services, screen is great. Don't think you can find a better tablet for $180. Do yourself a favor and spend a bit more to get this over the budget tablets. Both the case and the cables I bought the writing is backwards on them haha.

I didn't know if I'd use a tablet much, so I started smaller with an Amazon HD8. Enjoyed it...used it, traveled with it, and mated it to a Logitech keyboard with slot to hold the tablet. After a couple of years, it was evident I was using the tablet, and this new model of Samsung came out. Out of the box, the silver case was great, and the first-time turning it on convinced me that watching video was going to be much improved over the smaller former unit, and it WAS. The display is crisp and has an outdoor mode which I've not tried yet. Sound is very acceptable for a device of this size through two speakers at the "bottom" (narrow) side of the unit. It easily paired with the Logitech K480 keyboard and an off-brand mouse for use like a computer when sitting in the keyboard, and to my surprise, by adding a USB-C to USB standard adapter, (Pair shown in pictures) it instantly recognized a USB microphone for use with a multitrack recording app I had installed. Will be excellent for interviews. I've not gotten all the settings the way I want yet as far as the "behind the scenes" go, but it's guiding me, letting me know wht apps drain the battery, what ones can be shut down for non-use after "X" time and more. Bought a clear rubber protector for the body (shown in pics) and bought a glass screen protector, both aftermarket, both fit as they should. Even with the rubber-ish protector around the unit it still fits nicely in the keyboard slot of the Logitech unit. Excellent for taking along where full PC is not needed camera is acceptable for average photography, and it performed nicely with video chatting. Hoping to enjoy this Samsung for quite a long time.

This tablet is easy to use, long battery life and just what I needed to use for playing games and keeping up with my fb friends. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a good tablet without breaking the bank.

Easy to use and large screen is great for playing online games, surfing the net, or social media. Mine came with a free case that has an attached blue tooth technology keyboard which makes the pad seem like a mini lap top. I love it.

Amazingly quick although it's not a high end iPad. Love the classic galaxy setup. I should've gotten one with bigger memory but can always pop in an sdcard. I ended up giving one to my dad and he loves it too!
