    We bought our first tablet to augment our laptop December 2016. The Samsung Galaxy 8 A is better than we thought it would be for speed and battery life. Android OS was a little hard to get used to, as my husband and I are both age 70, and have only used Windows in the past. We wouldn't trade our tablet for anything, and would recommend the Samsung to anyone.

    I just wanted something small to carry on the plane; to watch a video, play games and this fits the bill. Was hoping to put Word on it like I did on my Tab A 10" but it isn't supported so disappointed with that but otherwise, easy to set up and use.

    Let's be clear, this tablet is not as good as iPad mini. However, after using this tablet for a month now, I would say it's certainly worth the money. Everything works good, screen quality is okay. The only complain I have is that Android did still not upgrade to 6 (Marshmallow). Hope they will do it soon, so we can take advantage of the new features.

    We purchased this for my autistic son to use as a means of playing and exploring apps and games to help him with his therapies. He was used to quickly navigating through my Samsung Galaxy phone so with virtually the same set up he took to this tablet quite easily. Small enough for his 4 yr old hands yet big enough to easily see the content. Great buy!!!!

    I gave it to my mother as a gift for mother's day. She loves it, she uses to read her favorite books, like the Bible, or her prayer books. She can send e-mails, she can search the web, read the news, and the best of all, she can take it with her anywhere she wants, even to church...

    I brought this for my wife and she loves it. She uses it mainly to check FB and play games. The size is not too small or big. Fits in her purse without being bulky. The cost is inline for all the features it has. Able to take pictures and video chat. Emails and watching TV shows from various apps she has downloaded. Very well worth the purchase.

    Bought this for my granddaughter for her birthday. She is very happy with. She wanted the smaller screen as it fit better in her hand. She doesn't have data so only can download when on wifi but she was fine with this. Perfect size for a 14 year old. Got it as an open box so saved money purchasing it.

    I bought this Tablet for my 7 year old daughter. Honestly, you can't beat the price. She has no problems using it. The only thing that could be seen as negative is the memory. She's recorded 4 or 5 videos and it's already out of space. They do sell SD cards that will help with storage.

    This was a present for my granddaughter. Her older tablet was old and not functioning right, since my grandson had one just like this one; then I decided to surprise her with the same one. She was absolutely amazed and very happy. The screen is super bright and the tablet incredibly fast. I bought a mini SD card to enhance the memory by 64 G.

    This tablet is working out perfectly for me. I mainly use it to keep up with friends on social media, listen to music, and read good literature. It's big enough to easily read and also discreet enough to bring along in my small purse. It looks good and I love it! Also, I bought a micro memory card and it adds a ton of available memory to the storage.

    I bought this tablet solely for the purpose of keeping audio books for business. Downfall is internal device memory. It does redeem itself by being expandable. When the 200 gb card fills up. I most likely will purchase its bigger brother.
