    Bought the lesser expensive Tab A for grandson before that required constant maintenance, clearing cache, deleting files, etc. This is so much better of a tablet for playing kids games, learning programs like ABC Mouse, etc., learning to take pictures. Grandson is almost 5, absolutely loves his big "phone". :)

    Horrible page arrangement

    Nice sized screen but you cannot tab pages and the place that displays searches or websites visited wipes previos pages off. IE: If you need to check mail to get a code to change a password, you cannot get back to the page that needs the code, you must use two devices.

    Considering this tablet is a few years old, it's still good. I wanted something a bit bigger than my phone to look up stuff and take notes; it works great. Not the best camera, but that's not what I bought it for. I like it so far.

    I use this tablet primarily for reading Kindle books. I did use it for video streaming and it worked fine. The reason for 4 rather than five stars is the speakers are very poor. It's hard to hear even at the highest setting. You may want to buy an external speaker. Overall, a very good buy for the price.

    I have purchased several tablets in recent years only to be disappointed with the performance and annoyed by the limitations. This Samsung tab A is performing extremely well, and offers capabilities that I desire but had been unable to realize in any previously purchased tablet.

    I love Samsung tablets. I still have my Tab 7 purchased quite a few years ago though it is showing its age. Decided to go with the 8 as my next tablet. Glad I did. Great battery life, works very well. Here's to another long lasting Samsung tablet!

    Great product. Does everything I wanted. Loaded all my music on a microSD card and usually play it on a Bluetooth speaker although the built in speakers are quite good. Also use it to display my security cameras rather than using smartphone.

    Nice product for the price. We bought this for our 5 yr old and it is probably the biggest bang for the buck. Its a solid prodect that can take a beating. Even if your kid breaks it, its so cheap you can just go buy another

    Good tablet, easy to use, great for watching netflex, not for high end games but good for easy games. I’ve bought them for my kids inexpensive however they are prone to screen getting cracked - I would buy this again.

    An inexpensive alternative to the larger, hard to hold, tablets. Perfect for around the house use when not using the "big" computers. Easy to transfer from previous Android devices. Recommend without hesitation - and the Geek Squad is there with answers if you ever get stumped.

    Works amazing! I ordered a cover for my 6 year old on amazon for this and its perfect size. You can enable kids mode, but wanted it for school apps to run smooth. Also the battery lasts awhile! He will be on it most of the day when we are busy at home and will still have at least 50% left!

    My old Galaxy tablet died. Unfortunately they don't make them with the pen anymore so with the exception of that, it is a Very Good Tablet. Learning to navigate this new one compared to my last one hasn't been that big of a challenge. I predominately use it for my reading apps and I have no issues there.

    Wonderful tablet. Very responsive, easy to navigate, not overloaded with unnecessary apps. Runs Netflix, Hulu, etc great, and plenty of room for games, photos and other programs. It takes a great picture as well. Great tablet, good price, and I highly recommend it.

    Excellent tablet!! I own larger size so I knew exactly which one to buy my daughter for her 24th birthday! She is thrilled with it and runs her etsy business with it. I have had 4 other tablets but should have bought this in first place! Live and learn :) Definitely #1 tablet

    It has worked very well for the reason I purchased it. We were scheduled to go to Europe for 5 weeks which obviously now has been canceled. However we do plan on going once this pandemic is over. I will be a pro by the time that happens as I’m becoming very familiar with the device. Very easy to use.

    it's smaller yet more expensive than my mom's samsung tablet, but the best for the price i could've gotten at the time. the battery dies a bit fast but it's also used nonstop. it does everything i need it to, so i'm happy with it!
