    Tablet accomplishes what i wanted

    All in all i'm pretty happy this. I have an iPhone and iPod so i had a few issues with the Android transition. I have also had a few compatibility issues with Apps i've wanted to use. Most of that is due to my own desires and resistance to change (LOL). This Tablet does meet the needs and desires i had for it. And does it pretty well. i like the size, but was disappointed that i couldn't get the newest technology (Tab 8.4) with Cellular technology. this unit works well, connects easily (although i have had several instances of "non-connection") and it downloading apps/games/etc is really easy. Again, as i said at the beginning, i am pretty happy with it.

    I received this as a free add-on to a cell phone purchase so I can't complain about the cost. However, I previously had a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Plus and this Tab 3 does not seem like any kind of an upgrade. There is no flash for the camera, the screen is not all that great, the system has a definite lag, there is no screen mirroring. It does have an IR blaster and a few other tricks but I can't recommend this unit especially now that the Tab 4's are out and they appear to be much better tablets. There is no reason why anyone should consider one of these when a 4 can be had at not all that much more $$.

    This is a basic tablet that does everything you want it to do. The power saver screen mode stinks. The face recognition is a joke. My suggestion is pay they extra money and get an iPad.

    This tablet was free with a contract so the price was great. Lots of features and expandable memory. IR blaster works great as a tv remote. My only complaint is the battery life. I use a iPad 4 all day for work and have to charge twice a week suing LTE and wifi. The tab3 has to be charge as often but is used maybe 20% of the time weekly as the ipad. But I'm not complaining, this is a great tablet even for $200! It could be faster processor wise but again, I'm comparing it to an iPad that cost 3x what this one sells for.

    I can't comment on the price of this tablet because it was free from my phone/internet server with a new contract. I can tell you that it is a great product with tons of features. I like Samsung Galaxy products very much, my phone is also a Samsung Galaxy. There are many apps to install and it is very easy to use. It has the Google voice activated assistant that will do what ever you ask it to do just by tapping the mic and talking to it. I especially like the size of the tablet because it is big enough to view anything but not too big to be cumbersome. I got my husband the 10 inch Galaxy Note and I find it a bit too large. The Tab 3 is great to travel with because it is a good size and is very light weight. Check out all of it's features for yourself, better yet, go to Best Buy and speak to a Samsung rep and let them show you what it can do.

    I got this phone for my mother because I thought she would like it. She had an Iphone so she didn't care for the android operating system. She doesn't like that she couldn't facetime but I explained we could add the skype app. to facetime. Personally I loved this phone and how easy it was to use. If you like an android operating system this phone is awesome and easy to navigate.

    My kids tend to drop and break these often so I'm looking for the cheapest option available so I don't break the bank to replace them every time they break. This tablet performs well for their needs.

    I was looking to replace my old galaxy tab tablet with something that had a more current OS. This tablet was easy to set up and use is very similar to other Samsung android products. The screen quality and camera could be better but overall is a great product.

    Farely easy to figure out but have to be careful how you hold it so you do not hit the power off or sound volume buttons by mistake. Also likes to go to maximum magnification while just using one finger to drag position to change centering.

    This was the size I wanted and I got a killer deal, but I had to return as soon as I found out that it didn't have OTG capability. I ended up getting the 8" Galaxy Tab which does have OTG. Stinks that Samsung didn't add this feature to charge and use the USB for a separate purpose at the same time.
