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 bought this tablet for my Dad to use for games and general Internet use. So far he has really enjoyed it. It is easy to use, screen size and quality of the picture are very good. I use Apple products but if I ever switch from the iPhone I would get myself this same tablet.

    Overall, a great buy. Brilliant display, perfect size, great battery life. Mine has a habit of tanking the internet connection on my router, and after several calls to my ISP and a visit to the Geek Squad (all to no avail), I finally figured out myself that it happens when I use the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi at the same time. I'm hoping that a dual-band router will take care of that, since one of the main reasons that I bought it was to watch shows using my Bluetooth headphones while messing around in the kitchen. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

    We got this tablet when we traded in our old Samsung Tab and I'm so glad we did! It's so much easier to use and faster. It's great for everything that family uses it for from games & streaming video to reading books.

    The 9.7 Galaxy Tab A is a great tablet. It is a quality tablet at an affordable price. It out performs other tablets out there that are much higher in price. This tablet is second only to the Tab S2, which is a higher priced version. The android is a good economical tablet that performs and multitasks very well. This tablet would be good for a college student or a business professional. The biggest advantage is its ability to do word processing and editing on it. It is also a great gaming tablet as well as a work performer tablet. Thank you Samsung and Best Buy for another quality product.

    I carry my tablet everywhere! It replaced another tablet that was several years old and very bulky. I am happy with the ease of use and quality of the tablet. My husband and I both have Samsung phones and tablets.

    Purchased as a gift for my boyfriend. It is his first tablet and he loves it. He has not put it down since Christmas. He has also downloaded games, movies, and music already. I was unable to do this when I got my first tablet. I will be purchasing one for myself soon.

    Bought this as a gift for my wife, home run, she loves it. Uses it to facebook, surf, play games and is learning to use other features. Easy to set up, easy to learn (her first tablet). She also loves the speakers, enjoys listening to music while she works and plays.

    video processing is more than adequate for my personal needs, expandable memory has room for all of my class work, OS is user friendly and very easy to navigate, and the external speakers are so much better than my phones, that the tablet is my new go to music player.

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a great device. This is my third tablet and by far the best. Did great with trading in my old tablet. Very happy to learn my old tablet would be put to good use for someone in need.

    If you have a family member who wants a tablet but also wants the familiarity of writing on a tablet like he wants on paper, the Galaxy Tab A with S Pen is a good choice. However, be warned that there is a bit of a learning curve to getting the S Pen to work with the tablet the way you want.

    Love it! Had a Tab 3, which was always slow, bad battery life and had to get the electrical replaced. This has none of these problems. I get a fantastic amount of time from the battery and am a very heavy user, many hours a day, though do very little streaming.

    This is our first tablet and it has worked well so far. It is a nice size that is easy to transport from place to place and allows easy access to the internet without the bulk of a laptop. We have not had any issues to complain about and like the Samsung platform.

    This was a gift for my mother in law. She loves it. She can play games or surf the internet and listen to streaming music at the same time, wherever she feels comfortable at home. Screen is large enough to use large font setting and still have a decent size image.
