    We bought this as a cost effective way for our kids, but the value is not their. It comes with google apps that take up most of the memory, so I bought a 120GB SD card and it still will only let us download 1 app at a time. Product support is the absolute worst. Just be aware of what you are getting.

    Purchased this strictly to watch my nest cams that we use for baby monitors. It was very laggy and clunky. Has an actual home button, no fingerprint reader, and just overall felt outdated. If it is a tablet for kids to play in, it may be worth th ed 90 bucks. I ended up returning. I'm a Samsung product fanatic, but I didn't like this.

    Had to send in to Samsung - hardware was defective after 2 weeks - they acknowledged it was under warranty, but was a semi hassle - I had hoped Best Buy would handle it, but I had it for 16 days and their policy is 14 days, NO LUCK, also had problems getting local store to answer the phone - very disappointed with Best Buy!!!

    It is a decent tablet suitable for simple usage - Netflix, YouTube. 3D gaming would not be a good fit.

    This tablet states it has Wireless N but it doesn't recognize any of the N networks I've been around. It also requires me to reconnect to my network every time I reboot the tablet. Samsung wasn't very helpful and said I should just send it to them to fix. Only problem with that is, I already brought back one to Best Buy, this is my second one!!!

    Got this for my mom for mother's day and ahe has had a few issues with it. Told her to take up to Best Buy in plano tx and ask for them to help her. She was told the representative for Samsung is not there Wednesdays and Thursdays and it was nobody there to help her. Needless to say I will be taking it back myself and getting my money back and buying it from somewhere else

    The item itself is OK. I was hoping to use it in conjunction with a card reader which would not work with it.
