    Have had many other less expensive tablets that didn't last near as long. Spent a few extra dollars for a better quality tablet. Wish I would've done it sooner.

    I purchased this last year around Christmas time. It is easy to set up, very easy to use,decent size,decent memory,good resolution. I purchased 2. One for my wife and one for my 12 year old. My wife has had several problems with her's. Freezing,not being responsive and sometimes problems updating. The problems are minimal but it can be frustrating My daughter has had similar problems but they are far and few between so again, at best a minimal annoyance. I would say overall it is a good tablet, its not top of the line but it is not a cheap hunk of garbage. My wife and daughter wanted it to browse the web Facebook,youtube etc and it gets the job done for that. The one thing i will say is BUY THE PLAN TO FIX IT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG. I made the mistake and did not purchase it and my daughter dropped hers and cracked the screen.After contacting Samsung about fixing it i was told my warranty had ran out 4 days prior. The cost to get it fixed was almost the price of a new one. That is the only complaint i have and i can not really complain because i did choose to not buy the extended warranty. hope this helps and happy hunting!

    Got 2 of these tablets for the kids. It works well for them. There's not much memory but overall I really can't complain. My son is not able to download all the games he wants only bc they take up a lot of space. The processing speed is great. Only complaint I have is the camera in the tablet is horrible, but that doesn't seem to bother my son as he's just using the tablet to access apps and games.

    My husband told me this was the best and I doubted until I got one and this is the best tablet I have owned. I do not like that sometimes the mic is on when it should not be but all in all I love it.

    This is the second of this model that we have purchased. We love the 7" size because of compact convenience and weight. We use these primarily as readers. Great devices. However, this one came with a faulty charger. We could only charge it using the charger of our other device. Will Best Buy replace the charger. Replacing the whole thing means loosing hours of set up time.

    My wife got this tablet so that she could use it as an e-reader. I already have an ipad mini, so we researched tablets that would be used for reading as well for other things. After much research we decided on the Samsung tab A 7 inch. The memory is only 8gigs, but it has a mini SD card. We found out that we needed the SD card right away. For a first table, it works well and meets all our needs.

    I have nothing to compare this to since it is my first tablet purchase but have nothing to complain about. I found some of the apps confusing but two visits with a Geek and I now have no problems.

    For the price, this is a really nice tablet. I installed a 32gb SD card for extra storage and that solved all my problems. Ok, so maybe its not as fast as higher end tablets but it is good for that coffee shop stop where you just want to reply to your emails or play a game. In other words, it is fast enough. If you can find it at the $99 price - purchase it immediately!

    I had an older tablet that kept crashing and was only really good for reading ebooks after a while so I treated myself to a new one. I didn't need anything fancy or expensive, just something to read, email, use social media and play an occasional game on. I love my Samsung phone so opted for the Samsung tablet. So far, it has been exactly what I needed. Fast Internet surfing, decent quality screen, allows me to multi-task without crashing and shutting down. I'm very happy with it.

    The tablet runs well. You kinda need to press harder then you'd of guessed to register commands. The family app has its goods and bads. The good, you don't need to buy multiple apps for every kid, once you buy it, it's available to everyone in the family. The bad, the restrictions are annoying, you can't have regular YouTube, you have to settle for a kids version.

    My New Samsung Tablet

    I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7" to take with me for searching the internet when my wife and I travel. I had previously used my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone for internet searches, but it was a little too small. So I thought a tablet with a 7" screen might be better ... and it is. Admittedly, the tablet can only be used with Wi-Fi, but that's a minor inconvenience, as most of the places we stay offer Wi-Fi. All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase.
