Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the most smartest device I have purchased. I recommend it to any one that loves social media it's awesome!!

I purchased this for my brother as a gift and he is very happy with this item.

Love my 8"tablet,I purchase it to work with my google home and Samsung tv and I am very happy with what I got.Thx you

It's lacking one thing I need Adobe Flash otherwise I'm having a lot of fun with it and really enjoying the product

Tablet is quick light and as well as suprisingly intuitive. Wouldn't recommend to someone who spends 3+ hours as I found the screen a little too small to fully enjoy

Very useful for browsing, videos, games, also good for FaceTime

I picked up the 8" Tab A for the great sale price at the time during the Holidays, more importantly I did need a simple, not too pricy Android device for my Drone. I admit I am a major Apple user, but after the 11.2 IOS update, all devices with this latest OS simply does not work anymore with the Autel X-Star drone, Starlink app. Apparently there is a "USB communication" problem that both Apple AND Autel need to fix. So rather than wait for both sides to work this issue out - which I feel may be well into 2018, I decided to go with this tablet and I am now able to fly again. I've only put the very basic tools on here in order for me to fly my X Star drone again, the drone app also some screen recording apps. It's not a super fast tablet, looking at the specs it won't handle intense gaming well. I have played around with Google Maps that can be graphically intensive and it runs ok..some slight lag but nothing too painful. YouTube video streaming is also fine. It's not loaded with all the bells and whistles, this would be ideal for internet surfing, video watching, again games that are not intense with graphics. And unlike Apple products, I admit the expandable memory is extremely nice. There is a slot on the side where you can insert a larger MicroSD card and add another 32, 64, 128GB to the device. Since these type of memory cards have really come down in price, it's not bad idea to pick one of those up.

This Samsung-Galaxy Tab A-8-16GB (WiFi) was purchased to replace a Samsung-Galaxy Tab 2-7-8GB (Wi-Fi) unit whose battery failed after nearly 3 years. The Tab A runs on Android 5.0 and starts in seconds rather than minutes. The back-facing camera records at 5 mps and takes pictures that are superior to those taken with the Tab 2. I set the device to save all photos on a 32 gb micro card that I installed, leaving all of the Tab A's 16 mb to store most apps and run the device's OS. I also store all my music and other documents that I wish to carry with me on the 32 gb micro card. One nice feature that I use a lot is the rolodex-like "Recant Apps" feature, which allows you to quickly switch between apps and display multiple windows on a split Screen. I have had the Tab A for about a month and have used it at home and on the road, including a trip to Europe. This device worked beautifully, video is sharp, audio is clear, the battery lasts a long time between charges, and recharges from 20% to 100% in about 3.5 hours. The sale price of $179.99 is a good price for a device that does all the tasks that I need from a tablet.

I play on this tablet all the time. Love it. It's a very nice size. Great to take anywhere you want to go. I like this so I don't run the battery down in my phone. Is not bulky . And is very easy to handle. Using it is easy as well.

if you are looking for something to carry around and habe all your documents and access to everything on the web tbis is the tablet affordable easy to navigate

I visited Best Buy with the notion of buying an ASUS to replace my ASUS transformer that has outlived its usefulness but, after telling the salesperson what I wanted to do with the unit (read books primarily, but occasionally browse the web and watch movies) he suggested the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I liked the price (under $200), the picture quality was excellent, and the ability to screen mirror to my Roku was the clincher. I also bought a small case which the tablet snaps into and, when the case cover is closed, the tablet screen shuts off - a very nice feature. The battery lasts 3-4 days for me but then I'm not using it more than a couple hours a day. But it lasts many more hours than my ASUS Transformer. Overall, a nice little unit.

We purchased this tablet for each of our boys, ages 6 to 15. We were looking for a product that they could play games on as well as do school work on. This tablet has worked out great. The battery seems to hold up well to constant gaming. This tablet also is a great size to take places but still has a big enough screen to not limit viewing. My 16 year old is very satisfied with it as he uses it mostly for school work in which he has to connect to the internet to complete assignments. Overall I would highly recommend this tablet. Another plus is that it seems to be pretty tough, we had to wait a week on our tablet cases and all 3 tablets survived our boys without cases!

This tablet was just what I was looking for. I previously had a Samsung Galaxy tab 3 7" and wanted to update it. I had looked at the 10" that was a little to big for my day to day use. the 8 was perfect! Very easy to set up and the graphics are very nice. For the price I was willing to spend on another tablet it is great

This is my third Samsung Galaxy tablet. The first was a 7 inch that is starting to flake out a bit (lturns itself off randomly once the power is down to about 40%). The second was a 7 inch Samsung Galaxy Nook tablet. The Nook version is very nice if you mostly want to read with it and piddle a bit on the Internet and not do a lot else. This new one is the 8 inch, which feels considerably bigger even though it's really only a tad bigger. The screen is MUCH more crisp and it's much faster than the oldest one and slightly faster than the Nook one. I had a little frustration getting rid of some of the Samsung "extras" that I don't want (I don't want news, stock quotes, YouTube, Chat, etc.) but once I cleaned it up it is very good. All I do is Facebook, a couple of basic games, email and eBooks. On vacation I will also use it for some Internet prowling but tablets on the Internet tend to be very annoying. I like having a keyboard. Game playing on it is very nice - the colors are great, it's very fast and the picture looks great.

Slower than my iPhone, but it does a decent job if I am patient. Games work. Easy to set up and use. Good deal money wise. I don’t regret the purchase. Screen is a nice size.

Great display, camera, battery life, etc! Absolutely love the size too! Perfect for traveling with!

I am a Samsung Galaxy fan. I purchased my first Galaxy Tab A about three weeks ago. Unfortunately, the battery overheated. We believe that that one was a lemon. I exchanged it for a new one and so far, this tablet is not overheating. Now for my opinion over the Tablet: 1) I like that I am able to use MS Office 2) I like that the battery last for a long time staying idle. I didn't charge it for over a week and it was at approximately at 33 percent. 3) I have watched movies on the Tablet and they play pretty well. I have Time Warner Cable. 4) I am able to keep track of information on my calendar and has an option for taking notes. 5) I purchased a 64 gb sd card and it can take a card higher than that I am told. 5) The Tablet seems to respond pretty quickly. I am able to type easily 6). My son who has Autism and into Technology owns an IPAD but loves Samsung as well. We both currently own a Galaxy phone. 7) Like how you can side sync the phones. That's really cool. 8) If I could change anything about Tablets overall (not just including Samsung) I would like for us to be able to remove the battery, if a heating issue would occur. This way it would give the device time to truly cool off. Other than that I am pleased with my Tablet.

When my old tablet started having problems, I thought I would try a Samsung Tablet. This tablet is so great and easy to use. I like to use it for news and weather updates and for reading onliine books and for streaming movies and tv shows. I also use it for internet searches and purchases. The 8 inch tablet works best for me. It works well and does everything that I need it to do. I'm glad I chose this one. Highly recommended!

I bought the tab 4 several years ago and wanted another tablet with more gigs and I looked at the tab A. It is perfect for my needs. It is small enough to fit into my pocketbook and large enough for me to see without straining my eyes. I am enjoying it immensely. I highly recommend the tab A for casual users who serf the web, check e-mail, Facebook, and read books and magazines.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a new tablet. It is very light and easy to hold with one hand while reading; screen size is about the same as a hardback book, which makes for easy reading of emails, ebooks and web pages. Screen has good resolution, plays HD video flawlessly, supports all the Android apps. Battery lasts about 3 days with moderate use. Very happy with this, especially at the sale price!
