“I need some basic advice? Have never owned tablet...been looking at this? My phone is htc 2011? with android system which is easy to relate. May be some silly ?'s but, can i use this out and about without other internet? can i use phone to connect it for this tablet? I am not looking for anything super fancy, nor does the camera need to be awesome. Would this be a level 1-basic tablet to purchase for just everyday type stuff? Or if anyone has better ideas-different brand etc., I would be so grateful. Also, being 1st tab purchase i don't wish to spend much. Thanks!”

You have to have wireless access to use internet on it when your out and about, but that's the case with any of them, unless you have a wireless card. It's probably Samsung's more entry level model I have, but definitely worth the money, you'll be wasting money on any other brand in my opinion, I did! I'm a huge samsung fan, even though I tried the lg first, but I think you'll be happy with any Samsung tab
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you're asking if this tablet gets its own cellular internet connection the No it does not but if you're asking if you can connect this tablet to like your phones mobile hotspot then yes you can do that. But personally if you have a little bit more money I would go for a different tablet this one can be a little frustrating at times but if you only need it for very light stuff then this would probably work for you. But then again also go for a model with more memory because half the app that you can get on this tablet can't be stored on the microSD card and there is enough memory on this tablet to do anything with because yes it says a gigabytes but you may be only get like 4 gigabyte for your own use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Good size for watching videos. Works when connected to a WiFi signal. Not tons of storage but you can buy an SD card. Camera is basic.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use this tablet for apps that don't require the Internet if you are out and about. You can also connect it via WiFi or through your phone if you have a device that is able to become a "Hotspot". I personally think this is a great tablet for the money. I love Samsung products and had purchased the original Galaxy Tabs. We are now on the Tab 4 and love it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think that the Samsung Tab A is an excellent choice. I would recommend avoiding entry level tablets, as their life span isn't but a couple of years. Battery life becomes poor, and as upgrades come out, you will find that upgrades will choke the processor, and if you don't upgrade, some apps won't run well. As to the remote use, I turn my phone into a hot spot (free with Verizon), and can use it easily. I have found that mapping programs don't work too well as a GPS in this mode because of lag time. Hope this helps.
