While some users wish for improved camera quality and more memory, the positive feedback on usability and value outweighs these concerns. The tablet's lightweight design is also frequently praised.

    I was told the latest model was the one I purchased! Not true! It was a model from 2019! 3-4 years old! Do not buy from Best Buy. Go to the specific company for the latest; such as Samsung or Apple. Very disappointed and very insulted.

    Very shortly into purchasing the tablet it started doing weird things, the screen randomly going black or the touch screen would not work. Now, not even 6 months later, it will not charge. Definitely not well made and not worth your money.

    The processor lags. The screen does not adjust to a comfortable brightness. The sound quality is poor. The speakers are positioned between the charging port and make listening difficult. I'm fairly unhappy that I made this purchase and am looking forward to my next Kindle device.

    This tablet's inner screen cracked, outer screen is intact. Tablet always kept in protective case, rarely used, never abused. I believe there was a manufacturer's defect. Mfg warranty does not cover inner screen, do not recommend.

    It worked ok for the 3 months I've had it although I never used it that much. It just shut off today and it will not come back on. It was fully charged. Now it's apparently too late to return. Never again!

    This particular Tab A was not my intentional tablet due to the fact that its for Kids too! Also, I'm having problems with just getting it to connect to my pc to transfer files on to it and cannot figure it out. Very dissatisfied with this model.

    Sadly after less than 2 years the tablet just stopped working altogether (it won’t even turn on) as did my previous Galaxy Tab. They are ok for the price but unfortunately they just don’t last.

    Apple is the King for tablets due to the lack for software updates for Android OS and Samsung Electronics refusing to update the software. I bought the bigger 5.8 Galaxy Tab A in 2017/18 year and haven't seem software update like phones receives.

    I sent this item back. I bought it for my mom, but it was too small for her to see. I was really disappointed when I saw it, but had to give it as her Christmas gift anyway, telling her that I would exchange it right away.

    No more Android gadgets for me. Thank goodness for Apple. This tablet seems to be possessed. It constantly hangs, shuts off pages whilst typing and is slow. I really wanted to like it but it's a mere waste of money.

    I only had the tablet for 33 days. It completely freezes up. I can't get past the screen saver. It's only a black backlit screen. It won't even restart. And if course it's past the return date. Wasted money.
