    I use a Samsung Galaxy phone, and I was looking for a tablet to use reading books on the Kindle App, checking email, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and playing a few games. I didn't want to spend a lot of money or learn an entirely new operating system. Tab A works great and fits my needs.

    I'm used to a nook and it seems like the screens just keep getting smaller. I love the screen on my new tabblet. My Galaxy Tab A has an eight inch screen and I love it. I love the tablet but I wish I would have been able to find a cover and not just a case at Best Buy.

    the tablet is compact, easy to carry it, and for the reading, this size is good. I bought my last tablet also samsung four years ago, and this one is much better faster, touch screen responds quickly. It is very convenient for me to read books from the library.

    Had purchased one to use with my DJI drone. Love it. Had to purchase one for wife. She loves it. Lot easier than the Fire Tablets, which she considered ( lack of Apps-had to back enter Android Play Store-Gave my old as a gift) suggested the Tab A. Happy ending

    Wife was in need of a new tablet, she's a small girl and we were having hard time finding the perfect size for her. The 9.7 and 10+ tablet are too big for her. Bought it as a suprise and she loved it, perfect size for her

    This was purchased to replace a Nook Galaxy Tab 4 and feels noticeably larger to the hand although does not feel significantly heavier. The additional built in memory was the important feature and provides for a wider set of uses beyond simply being an e-reader.

    I've been looking for a good tablet to do do my digital art and although this tablet is a great buy because it gets the job done I'm still going for the number 1 product which is the iPad pro but for now this tablet is good, cheap and worth its price.

    Christmas present for my 8 yr old son. Coming from an Amazon fire which he was unable to play Roblox on! This was an instant hit now that he’s able to play it! I’m thinking about getting one for myself! Picture quality it great! Better than my iPhone!

    If you are looking for a tablet that’s not super expensive, I’d highly a suggestive the Samsung tab A. For the price you get a decent tablet that will perform for most needs. Perfect for basic use. I gave this as a gift to my grandfather and he really enjoys it.

    I’m so happy I ordered this Samsung tablet. I have a 15 year old son I use it to do his homework with him and it fits perfectly in my bag. All the buttons work with the tablet and it hold charge very well. I am very happy with my decision

    I have a nook Samsung Galaxy Nook tablet and have been pleased. However it only has 8g. So far this tablet is working good. Good screen for reading ebooks. But I have noticed every so often it lags when switching to open another app.

    I was very pleased with the Tab A, especially for the price. It may not be a powerhouse but it is perfectly fine for social media and surfing the web. Also very pleased with the battery life, way longer than my older galaxy Tab ever was. I would definitely recommend it.

    Very neat tablet at a super price compared to an IPad. I really like the size. Purchased for work and it does just what is needed. Android tablets can do much of what is needed at half the price.
