    I bought this for my husband as an upgrade to his Kindle. I use the 10" galaxy notepad and love the bigger size, but he loved the size of his Kindle, but wanted a Samsung so he could use all his apps that couldn't be downloaded on Kindle. This 8"is perfect for him.

    This was a fathers day gift for my dad and he is happy with it. I used it while getting everything setup for him and it is a reasonably fast tablet for the cost. It comes with the standard Samsung bloatware, fortunately most of that can be disabled. Good for basic entertainment uses. (netflix, facebook, digital books, light gaming)

    This tablet is perfectly adequate for the price, which is to say that it will do all the basic things you need it to do, like playing Pewdiepie's Pixelings or watching Pewdiepie on Youtube. You can even check your email and stuff. It won't do anything crazy, like turn into a coffee table or win a super bowl ring, but it's a pretty good tablet.

    I got this one for my wife. She had the 7, which I purchase at Best Buy as well a few years ago. I upgraded to this 8. It works really well. I got t it on sale so the price was good. My wife loves it. She has used it with no issues. I recommend it

    We have been using Samsung tablets for years. The tablets have withstood the handling of kids but every time we could turn around the hard drive was running out of space even after I put a SD card in the slot. No more problems with the new tablets and to top it off tge screens are larger. That is a plus for the kids.

    I bought this for myself because I needed something to replace my Surface Pro 3 because it wasn't working. I got it for the price that it was worth and it does everything I hoped it would do. I did wish that it would have a fingerprint sensor but it didn't. I would recommend this for kids because it is simple to use and very small.

    I've had it a month - so far, so good! I purchased it to download a few netflix movies while traveling out of the country. I did not want to travel with my Ipad ... This Tab A is wonderful, lightweight, perfect size for travel and I also used it to view my choice of movies on the plane.

    It was just what I needed for my granddaughter. Small, plenty of storage and able to get the games she likes to play. I’m an iPad person, but didn’t want to spend that kind of money for a child to play with and this fit what I needed without all the ads that other tablets put on them.

    I love this tablet. Its perfect for light daily use. I use it to watch movies, listen to music and the resolution is great and sound is loud and clear. The storage capacity allows me to save my pictures and up load apps without hesitation. The tablet is not bulky and fairly light for travel.

    This is my third Samsung tablet over the many years. I am hard on them. Once I set it up to MY settings I am quite happy with it. Each OS version is a bit different from the previous one but quite easy to figure out. 32 gigs of memory is nice at this price point too. Got a 64 gig SD card from my old unit and it pops right in this one.

    honestly wasn't expecting much as a Tab A, but I really like these! They come automatically with 32g of storage, which is great when downloading a bunch of games and apps that hog storage. Add an SD card and you're golden for a while. In particular, was a messaging app that allows us to video chat as a family of 4 - the tablets do not have a lag even with 4 on video at the same time and show a clear picture using the front-facing camera. And the battery lasts for what seems like forever - the first day with a full charge, it was used for over 4 hours (per the parental app we also downloaded) with videos and games, and still had over half of the charge. And as far as the size, you wouldn't think going from a 7" screen to an 8" screen would really make a difference, but it really does. The colors are vivid and bright. I can't speak for the tech stuff, but as a daily tablet to run games and videos and surf the internet and video chat, this really is great. I'm going to return and purchase another for myself to replace an old Nook.

    Got them for my kids to use, and they have already been dropped, and thrown, and have held up wonderfully to my 6 & 8 year olds. I did buy tablet cases for them as well, so that helps with the durability of the tablets. I love how i can monitor what my kids are doing as well.
