    Front facing camera seems really bad quality. The home button always disappears when you go into an app. Over all a decent tablet. Ordered online so I didn't know there is not a home button.

    My kids 7 and 10 years old received the tablet on Christmas day. They were impressed by the speed of the connection. I felt the tablet had more durability than previous tablets they've had in the past. It was an overall win at Christmas.

    It was easy to set up. I bought it for my 86 year old mother to use as a Nook. It is a little heavy with the case but should work for her. Since we can no longer get the smaller tablet versions of the Nook, this is a reasonable substitute.

    Excellent tablet for children, tried the kindle fire but my two year old couldn’t figure out how to the basic task on the fire. Switched to this tablet and it’s easy to use and hold battery life is a lot better also

    I'm still playing around with the new tablet that I got in December, so far it's pretty easy to use. My last tablet was old and slow this screen is colorful, the sound is louder so overall it's pretty cool.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it! She is a reader and uses it daily, mainly for reading. Of course she will also use it to watch movies and get on the internet, etc. And the price really was the "best buy!" Thank you also for the always great customer service to the workers in the Honolulu store. I'm always satisfied with them.

    I originally got this tablet for myself, but we had to give up our Fire tablets to our boys. I got another Samsung tablet so gave the Samsung-Galaxy A tab to my old man and he absolutely likes the size of it. It is perfect for what he uses for

    I needed a tablet I can throw in my bag to access emails, view documents, edit a simple spreadsheet, create a memo. This is great for my needs. Add a blue tooth keyboard and you're all set.

    My wife loves it. She loves it for reading her comics and books. The 8” screen is larger than her phone and small enough for her to manage. She truly adores it and almost wouldn’t let me use it to install her virus protection.

    Originally I was going to buy the Mini Ipad but for the price, this Samsung Galaxy is amazing! Exactly what I was looking for - it is sleek, light and has all the apps I need. Will be using this on airplanes once I can travel again.

    Easy to use for someone who doesn't like changing software. Been 6 years since upgrading and Samsung made it still feel similar to my old tablet. Wish they would of kept the mirror feature! I use it all the time with my old Samsung

    It’s ok for the price. I have VERY limited use for it: reading, streaming shows, and running a car diagnostic app. I did not bloat it with many apps (nothing social media nor work related). On that note, the battery does not last as long as I expected when in use, but it does hold charge pretty long when not in use. Waking up the device is very sluggish. Touch response is not good. You can’t just select an option with one finger while it’s standalone. You would need to touch the back part of unit in order for the screen to respond. Other than that, it plays videos without any lag. Screen displays colors pretty well. The unit is priced right, ~$100.

    In my opinion the Samsung tablets are always the best. I have owned several previous models in the past. I bought this one to replace a different brands tablet and I couldn’t be happier. If you want an android tablet get a Samsung.

    I'm an older female who tends to be challenged by technology. The tablet is user friendly and a great value for the price. I especially like the talk-to-text feature. This tablet would make an excellent Mother's Day gift.

    We are using this for games and it is great. It seems to be handling the games we play. I would recommend the Tablet holder sold by Best By. It holds the tablet securely without interfering with side controls or putting pressure on touch sensitive screen.
