Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can't say enough good things about this tablet, like it so much I purchased another for my wife.. Battery life is amazing and does everything I needed. Also like the "s-pen" but difficult to find the replacement stylus tips. A little pricy but for $249 on sale it was what I considered a good buy. Almost forgot, the display is outstanding, You tube videos and steaming news or Facebook video is terrific.

In my opinion this is the best tablet for a great price. This tablet exceeded my expectations if you compare this to the iPad I would definitely get the galaxy because of the pen and because it's half the price. The pen feedback is excellent it's better than what I expected. So far there's nothing wrong with this tablet I love it!

This is a very zippy tablet with ample system space and beautiful display. Under heavy use, it does get a little warm as well as drains battery rather quickly. For example, if making Skype video calls you can chew through a battery in about 2 hours. If 50/50 sleep and active use, I get about 8-10 hours battery life. I use mainly O365 (a lot of eMail and Outlook), Skype for Business, Twitter, XFinity WiFi app and ESET Mobile Security daily, and occasional Google apps like Maps, Search, YouTube, etc. The cameras are average image quality and the speakers are fairly small and poor so plan to use earbuds for some functionality. I was hoping to use as a car GPS but even max volume is not very distinguishable in a car setting. The GPS does work fantastic and the Wifi is great. GPS acquires position quickly and handles interference (bridges, overpasses, tunnels) well and the WiFi gets a strong, solid, fast signal even with weak or far access points. Construction is solid. No concerns in my pocket getting in and out of cars, chairs, etc. as it does not flex and built strong. Light drops are fine too. Screen is bright, wonderful color and amazing contrast. The screen is also very strong and incredibly scratch resistant. Cat game tested and polydactyl cat approved with NO scratches after rigorous fish and mouse scratching high-scores. Touch screen/tactile feel is above average. Lighter taps have good reponse. Swipe and gestures are positive with little error even initially. Price point is a bit high, especially given it's a 3GB RAM memory device with 2kx1.5k display, but the 32GB system storage is good.. so look for sales.

I bought this tablet specifically for the kitchen, so I can look up recipes or cooking techniques quickly and easily. The battery lasts for weeks without needing a recharge, and with the stylus, I keep from smearing the screen if my hands are wet. I wish it worked more seamlessly with my Microsoft OneNote. There may be a way to more easily copy recipes to OneNote, but I haven't taken the time to look. It might work very well with other cloud-based note programs.

I bought two of these tablets and I love them. The screen resolution is way better compared to the Tab 9.6 with s pen. What I love the most is the battery: I have watched more than 3 h of movies and the battery has dropped only ~15%. The s pen has been very handy when taking notes. I absolutely recommend this product.

I have used Samsung Note phones for years so it was very easy to learn how to use the Tab A with pen. I bought it for the Comfort of taking notes with the pen and being able to sign and edit Or correct documents so easily. Be careful not to buy the case sugested because it is not the good one . The memory is 10GB (16GB with the system) ), the battery is ok Everything works fine.

Love the size very fast and great features. Long lasting battery life.

This tablet is very light weight and the S pen that fits into it is a real plus. The price was very good as it was on sale. I like it a lot better than my Surface Pro 4 which is much heavier and cost a lot more for basically the same functionality.

Super happy with this purchase! The versatility of this tablet blew me away. An S pen was the icing on the cake when it came to picking out a Samsung tablet. I needed this mostly for art and for the family it has served those purposes alongside many other things! Quite an awesome piece of technology! Definitely would get another Samsung tablet.

This tablet offers many options. Having owned and older 8" model from Samsung with the S Pen I really didn't want to purchase a tablet without the pen. This tablet read and installed all the applications I had on my other tablet making setup a breeze. The long battery life is also an added plus. Having the pen is another great feature. A great purchase for sure!

I'm happy with this tablet, that's replacing one I've had for many years. It has a larger screen, and weighs much less. The programs that came with the tablet, and those that I've installed, run smoothly. The S pen is fun to use in my art programs. I feel that I made a good choice.

This tablet has a brilliant 10.1 inch screen and the Spen makes taking notes or jotting down quick information as easy as removing the pen from the tablet and the app opens up.

After Christmas I was looking to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy tab 7inch that I had gotten a few years ago. I knew I wanted something with a bigger screen and I just started getting into calligraphy and hand lettering so I wanted to be able to draw on the tablet as well. The S pen works great for writing/drawing and the screen is the perfect size!

Tablet works great and looks nice! I'm able to do everything I need to for school except watch lecture presentations for my online class because whatever plugin that's required is not supported. I wanted it mainly to be able to take notes on power point lectures during class. It is great for that, and I'm happy with that aspect. Downside and why I didn't give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: While in the store, I asked if there was one on display that I could try out (an open box special is what drew my attention to this product). There was. But, it was only the tablet; not the S pen which is the component I was most interested in. So, I asked if there was an S pen on display with another product. There was. I loved it! Perfect size, shape, performance. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Instead of the open box special, I opted to just buy a brand new one. I was SO excited to try it out that I opened it up in the car on the way home. Open the box ✔. Find the tablet ✔. Find S pen ❎. Remove all packaging to find S pen ❎. WHAT??! WHERE IS MY S PEN??? Come to find out, it slides into the corner of the tablet. It is NOT the same pen I was shown in the store. It is TEENY TINY, has almost NO weight to it, and my wrist hurts after using it for an entire class. What's worse? The S pen I tried out in the store won't work with this tablet, so I can't just buy that one and use it! This very uncomfortable pen that comes with the tablet is the only one that will work. So, if your hands are bigger than a toddler's and you expect to use the pen for more than a couple minutes at a time, get something else. Sidenote: in addition to the product review, I'd like to add a comment for the Best Buy supervisors. It would be FANTASTIC if your salespeople knew enough about the products in your store to properly inform the people who are there to spend hundreds of dollars. For instance, when I asked if there was an S pen I could try out, I would have expected that salesman to tell me that it was NOT the same one that comes with the product I was interested in buying. I HAD THE PRODUCT IN A BOX IN MY HAND. It was obvious I was serious about the purchase. Very disappointing!

I have had 8 samsung tablets, this is almost the best, only compared to the s2 9.7. I use the both for different things. Work tablet and home tablet, the stylus is great for taking notes in meetings, the wide-screen for movies. I actually recommended to a coworkers for a Christmas present for his wife, she absolutely loves it.

I like that the S Pen is attached. The battery lasts longer than the previous tablet I had and I have access to everything I need. Fits easily into my daily bag/purse so it goes everywhere with me as well.

This tablet was on sale for $229 down from $279. I ended up getting the version with the pen for ~$50 more. I can see the pen being useful for some people but I have not found not useful yet. No otter box case yet. Ended up getting a Titan 2 that allows the use of the pen. Buy this tablet and don't look back.

The battery life and the touch sensitivity of the spen are second to none. And at half the price of the ipad pro its a deal and a half. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a work tool, or school note taking tool. The internal storage is low so if you want a gaming device better get something else.

Buy it you will love it, price also super, this is a super tablet. I ordered Ipad (latest one) but after demo of Samsung Galaxy 2016 P580 was convinced it was the one I wanted. Ipad cannot up the memory - Samsung can up to 256GB - price difference a definite plus and for the almost identical features Samsung does it for me.Also Manager at Orange, Ct. Best Buy gave such a good and thorough demo of the Samsung had no qualms in buying it. Oh also have older Samsung tablet, still 100% super but wanted the SPen feature and updates. Still use the old one and love it. Also like the 10.1" screen - Ipad was 9.7". Best Buy always has the latest and best equipment. Not to mention knowledgeable sales people who always smile. Highly recommend this product

This tablet replaces a 4 year old Samsung Tab A. It is fast and easy to use. My wife loves the S Pen. She doesn't use the features much, but as a stylus it is much better to use and she always has it handy.
