    This tablet is excellent. It is fast and easy to use! I have watched netflix on it and the video quality is great! It also takes good pictures and the battery lasts forever! It does exactly what I want and more. I am really glad that I went with Samsung. It is also sleek and light weight. It was and is a great deal for the price. Best buy also had the best price.

    I purchased for my kids both under the age of 5. The tablets are easy to use I downloaded an AP to make the tablet a kids tablet. The tablet is for the kids when they are using it and I can put in a code and use it too. It's light weight has a clear picture and I easy to use.

    Was able to get this tablet for 130, while this might be the regular prices it seem, the Samsung Tab 4 is worth the money. It offers everything i look for in a tablet. Samsung does a great job making an easy to use and beautifully designed exterior, slim, and light tablet.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 4

    This is my second tablet. My first was the Nexus 7, which I loved, but which decided to give up the ghost at almost exactly 2 years of use. So I gave myself the Galaxy as a Christmas present, and I absolutely love it! Performance is smooth, graphics are excellent, there's never any lag, It boots up much faster than the Nexus did, and battery life is better as well. Even better, the Galaxy has both front and rear cameras, including flash on the rear - something Nexus did not have. It also has expandable memory (via flash drive slot) - another feature lacking in my previous tablet. All in all, I am very satisfied with the Galaxy, and while I hope it lasts longer than my first tablet - even if it only gives me the same 2 years, it will be well worth the $250 I paid for it at Best Buy!

    I was looking between various models/brands, The Samsung was the brighter and faster among those on display at the store. (in the price range of $150-$180 of course). It is fast and very easy to use, Although its a 7 inch display, it is perfect for my purpose. The screen is bright and responds fast to the touch. Memory is good for my usage.

    I'm a big fan of samsung and wanted a cheap tablet. it has expandable memory (up to 32gb according to samsung reps) and a beautiful screen. processor is decent but not if you're playing games like Injustice it can get bogged down a little. the biggest drawback was that half the memory is for your os and that kinda sucks. but just basic web browsing and shopping it works fine.

    I bought this for my mother to replace her Tab 3. The screen is much better. The processor is faster and the overall performance is good. The Tab 4 is not considered a high-end tablet, but then it doesn't cost like one either. It is certainly worth the price compared to the cheaper no-name tablets that you can get for $69 to $99.

    Samsung - Galaxy Tab 4 - 7 - 8GB is great for on the go. Not to big not too small. We purchased this item on sale.We Intended to use it for gaming and didn't want to spend a lot of money. It is perfect for short outings,ie. waiting at the Doctor's office, DMV, Over-nighters, Work... It fits in a purse or small shoulder bag. Light weight even when it's in the case. Sometimes, an iPad is to bulky to carry around with you everywhere. My son (age 23) likes it for gaming, instead of his iPhone. The Galaxy gives him a little bit larger screen than his phone, and it's light weight give him the convenience to take it more places with him. He has no complaint with it's operations. It performs great for the way we use it. We use it more as a supplemental device, for convenience factor.

    Got this is a gift. I have owned 2 Samsung phones and a full tablet so I had no issues or worries purchasing this for a gift. Opened and help set it up and it is configured almost the same as the newer Note phone so the is no issue trying to understand a new design. Great tablet, small, light, and easy to use.

    When I was looking to buy a tablet for my 8 year old son, I immediately thought best buy because of the quality of their products. I love samsung products. I wanted something he can grow with instead of outgrow and that is what I got. It is very light weight and has a great picture. The tablet is just like my galaxy 5 phone. One bad thing about it is it keeps freezing, I thought it was just the case I had on it making it overheat, but I took it off and it still happened. I will be taking it to the store to see what's going on, but overall a great tablet.

    My wife and I love this tablet, what we mostly use it for would be, reading with the kindle app, Hulu, Netflix during down time, and email/ surfing the web. The tablet is small enough my wife can drop it in her purse or bag for work. Anytime she wants to check email, read a couple pages in her book she can! For me I have free automotive reading sports apps I can read and my email as well. The battery will last for 6 hours of continued streaming on Netflix Hulu, and several days of reading, email use. The tablet takes no longer than three hours to charge fully. I plug it up when I get home and unplug it when I got to bed and I have it ready for the next day.

    Bought this for my 6 year old son right after black friday for a good deal. It's the perfect size to travel anywhere with him. The storage is small and with all of the apps kids want to download you definitely need a micro SD card. Works great no freezing like the cheaper one he had. Overall a good buy.

    I really like this tablet. I have been looking for one that fits my taste for a while. This one does. Perfect size. The size of a small book . I got it for myself as a new years gift for 2015. I have been through an iPad mini, Microsoft surface & a cody tablet & none of them pleased me like this one. I really love it. I'm very pleased . Thanks again Best Buy...

    This is our second Galaxy Tab purchase. We bought an 8' Tablet last year for our 8 year old and purchased the Nabi for our 4 year old. The Nabi is a nice starter tablet for small kids, but it doesn't take long to realize, it doesn't measure up when you see the speed and options available on the Galaxy Tab. We couldn't be more pleased with the tablets. They are so clear, and fast and easy to operate. The Google Play store allows us to download tons of games and apps that the kids love! We also purchased the additional warranty coverage from Best Buy. SOOO glad we did. A month after we bought the first tablet, it fell from the top bunk of our sons' bunk beds and shattered the screen! We took it in to Best Buy and within about 10 days, they had a replacement in the mail for us. No hassle at all...worked just like a warranty should. We couldn't be happier with our customer service and products purchased through Best Buy. We will definitely continue to be regular customers for our electronic needs.

    After looking at several less expensive tablets, the Samsung was head and shoulders above the rest in terms of price to performance. The screen is bright, sharp, and the colors are brilliant. The software is fast and easy to navigate. There are tons of accessories available including rugged cases which were a must in my situation - the selection of cases for the lesser known brands is limited. I do own an iPad Air, iPad Air 2 and an iPad Mini 3, and can say that this tablet compares favorably with anything in the iOS or Android world. It is much less expensive than any of the current Apple tablets and is a great choice for any one looking to surf the web, stream music and movies, etc. I purchased this as a gift for my uncle and it more than meets his needs.

    I bought this tablet to be a birthday gift for my husband. When I purchased it I agonized trying to decide between it and a Kindle Fire, or even just a regular Kindle (Voyage), as I had walked into the Best Buy in Annapolis planning to walk out with just an eReader for him. However, the employee helping me out pointed out the many features that the Galaxy Tab 4 had that the eReaders did not, like being able to listen to music, surf the web (if there's WiFi available), take pictures, etc. as well as the fact that the memory for the Galaxy could be expanded to the largest memory card available (they had one for 64 GB there), in addition to the 8 GB it came with, whereas the Kindle Fire, while it initially came more memory out of the box (I think, 40 GB?), its memory could NOT be expanded up from that. The memory was the final straw that broke my hesitance. Long story short, my hubby LOVES his new tablet! This is the first tablet we've ever owned; we still have "flip" phones, so, clearly, we're not the most picky, or cutting-edge "tech-y" people in the world, but we keep what works for us, and this tablet is the perfect fit for my husband's tech needs. He mostly uses it for reading books he downloads from Amazon, while he listens to music, but he's also gotten a lot of use from it this last week, using it to Skype with me and the kids while he's overseas, and also getting lots of pictures, so the timing couldn't have been better. It's easy and intuitive to use. The battery life is excellent, lasting about a week through hours of Skype and reading eBooks and listening to music. I consider myself VERY lucky now, because this was the last Galaxy Tab 4 7" they had in stock at the store that day, and it was on sale to boot! Win win!

    I have a Samsung Pro, that I use for work and I love it. I want something smaller for my nephew and I never seen him so happy. The battery life is great, picture quality amazing, and very fast processing speed. Hopefully he will use it to get some homework done. :)

    I love the Tab 4. It's easy to use, good sized and works great. It runs faster than I've heard the Tab 3 runs. I've not had any problems. I have an iPad but I love this fits right inside a purse or a back pocket. Loved it so much, I went and bought a white one too.

    I bought this tablet for my daughter to replace her aging first edition kindle fire. There wasn't enough memory space on her kindle, and nowadays, everyone wants to put apps on their electronics in addition to books. I had already previously purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8-inch for myself and I loved it! What's great about these tablets is the expandable memory. The battery lasts a good amount of time too. The screen size is a good size without being overwhelming or heavy, making the tablet easy to carry around. We took our tablets on tablets on a trip recently, and the battery did great!
