Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Galaxy Tab A's large screen size, ease of use, and long battery life. Many appreciate its lightweight design and affordable price, along with the included stylus for note-taking and drawing. Positive feedback also highlights the camera quality and overall performance. A common concern, however, centers around the limited internal memory.

    I would have love to have a bigger memory but I added a micro SD card that really helps. I love the latest OS update it helps a lot with the multi window function. I really don't need any other tablet. I have this tablet about a year already and it still runs smoothly.

    Bought it to replace a Galaxy tablet that I had had since they were first released. This one is great. Speedy and very nice. I also bought a good sized sd card to use with it. Love it!!

    after debating whether to get a tablet, I am happy I did. It is basically a bigger version of my cell phone, but I enjoy using it for games, surfing the web, etc. while lounging on the couch. The price is great for this item. I would recommend it. I find myself rarely using my laptop now.

    I read reviews before the purchase and being an iPad lover I have to say that it's really fun to use. I bought the keyboard as well and use it quite frequently. More than the iPad actually. It does lag at times but not enough to throw it against the wall. Good buy. No real complaints. It's light weight, built in MS Office and with the keyboard it it like having a mini laptop at your disposal.

    The tablet size is perfect for work. Easy to carry and use instead of a pad of paper. The s-pen makes it easy to take notes with. I purchased the cover for it to make it great to just open and go. Only issue has been an occasional freezing that requires hard reset. Hopefully this will be fixed with software update.

    I was advised by friends to purchase an Android tablet because I use an android phone. The tablet is easy to use, has excellent graphics and is a convenient size. I am able to sync my phone, laptop and my new tablet. So easy to use. The camera takes excellent photos and videos. I love it!

    I bought this tablet for my wife for her birthday a month ago and it has been used non stop since she got it. So far everything has been awesome. It's light weight and runs so smooth. Battery life is great. Picture quality is superb. The only thing that could be better is if they lit up the back and home buttons on the bottom. But you get used to their location and its OK. This tablet is a good buy. Well worth the money.

    I needed a good android tablet that also offers the versatility of the S Pen. Love this tablet. I am not picky about pixels or retina display. I use this one for work: email, notes, planning, docs and spreadsheets etc. and this is a perfect fit. Cant beat the performance for the price.

    I can use the tablet for playing games. Checking my emails. Taking pictures and also looking at facebook and utube. I can look at my steps on my fitbit account. Also watch movies on netflex if I want. View pictures and set up appointments. There are still alot I have to investigate that I will be able to do..

    This Galaxy Tab A with S-Pen is a nice update from Samsung. I purchased this tablet for my wife as a replacement for her Note 8. Both use a real digitizing stylus that permits you to take notes, and have your script convert to searchable text. There is stylus keyboard that recognizes your handwriting and converts it to text. This Tab A has Android 5.0, an update that will not appear on the original Note 8 which is stuck at Android 4.2. It has a slimmer profile and longer battery life. Only downside is a lower resolution screen. If you want a tablet that has a real stylus, the Tab A with S-Pen is the one to get.

    This is a really nice tablet. The s pen works really good, a lot better than those bulky stylus. And when using the s pen for navigating or taking notes you look very professional. After using this tablet for a couple of days I ended up buying another for my wife. She loves it too

    I gave this tablet a 3 out of 5 stars for the simple reason that the return and close all tabs at the bottom don't light up and are nearly impossible to see on the black tablet I purchased for my Mom who as a first time Tablet user has struggled with this. Everything else works great, but that, in my opinion, is a really bad design flaw. It wouldn't be so bad if they made it bright white but it blends in with the Tablet and you just can't see it. I would recommend getting the white one or upgrade to an S if you are unfamiliar with these buttons, otherwise the tablet is fast and works as promised and expected.

    Good for small stuff like looking up other products "on the fly", looking up movies / actors, use as a remote, check emails, or face book, etc. Battery life is good however, planning on watching movies (Netflix)...bring your cord. My kids use Google Docs, MS Office for home work. We each have our own login which makes using this tablet the better. Micro SD card slot handy as well.

    This tablet is great for surfing the Web & watching videos without any pauses or delays. Turned in our old Tab 10.1 (for $100 off) to get this one for $199, best deal ever. Easy to use, and we can even sinc it to our Samsung Note 4 smartphone. Great for in the living room, bedroom or take with you on trips.

    I originally purchased and iPad and didn't really like it. I returned it and bought this Samsung tablet instead and it runs so much faster. Not sure what the problem was with the iPad, but for what the iPad cost I expected a lot more. I am very happy with the Samsung tablet.

    I also own a 10.5" S-1 that I did not want to use for work purposes. I bought this one ONLY for work and and I am surprised at its performance. Several of my co-workers have bought one after seeing mine to enhance their careers. Love the SAMSUNG case ... There is none better.
