    Always love my Samsung products. Being an Android guy I love how all of it works similar and the price is so much better than Apple products. The picture is great and the size is great for using on the couch or in bed. Not too large, not too small.

    I upgraded from a Galaxy Tab 2, and the Tab A has a much nicer screen. Colors are more vibrant and resolution is higher. Also as it takes a bigger MicroSD card I can load more movies and music onto it. And the battery lasts for ages. A five hour flight was no problem.

    This is the second Samsung tablet I have owned. The first served me well. I needed BLE functionality for a project I was working on so I needed to upgrade. The new device is thinner and lighter than the old one and is much faster. The value is unbeatable in my opinion.

    Perfect for one-handed reading, light enough to hold easily and not drop. Good storage, quick but not lightning fast, a really good tablet for reading, or kids to game, but wouldn't use it for intensive work.

    This is a very good tablet but was missing the Samsung music icon . When i went to Google Play Store to download the app it said that my device was not compatible , my question is how can a Samsung tablet not be compatible with the Samsung music app . So i went to the Samsung representative at Best Buy and he used a APK extracter to transfer the music app from his device to mine . Well it all works well but i had to do the same thing for the Internet icon also . Not much internal storage but I knew that when I purchased the tablet , i bought a 200 gig card to expand the memory , but it has a good picture and sound . It is very handy to carry with you , i also purchased a nice case from Amazon for it to , i like it very much .

    Bought this tablet as a gift. It's convenient to hold in one hand. Sound is loud and clear (better than on some larger tablets). Performance is ok for simple games and web browsing. Storage is small, but the tablet has SD expansion slot, thus not an issue.

    Wanted a good travel friendly tablet. This is that.Only down side to it is there is only 8gb of memory on board. The applications take up most of that. If you already own a tablet don't allow apps to be added.

    so, my experience is a bit of a mixed bag here. the first example of this tablet had some truly epic backlight bleed on the screen, the second was having issues with video playback. ended up having the third one mailed to me as my local store had none left in stock. the third one, so far is working flawlessly. setup was a breeze, it fetched my account info almost before my finger had lifted off the button, and the fm radio tuner is a godsend, granted in my region, I dont exactly have a wide selection of stations to choose from. the os, lollipop, is way more responsive and stable than kitkat, and it even chews through updates, heck, downloads in general like they're not even there. the screen is absolutely gorgeous, nice, sharp and vibrant. I got this on sale, right when my old tablet bought the farm, and I do NOT regret this purchase at all. highly recommend.

    This tablet doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it is great for daily use. The camera is nice, and it is wonderful to watch videos on. It is lightweight and sturdily built. Overall it is a great product.

    The best feature is the split screen view. It doesn't work with every app but certainly is handy. I wish I would've gotten a tablet with more memory. I did purchase memory card. Android device and lightweight.
