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.

    This is a great tablet for someone who is just started using the Android system/Apps. I am use to Apple products, but I prefer this new Samsung tablet over my iPad.

    I purchased this for my husband as he travels frequently. He wanted something small enough to take on the plane to watch movies. Fits perfectly in his backpack.

    This tablet was researched by my husband and I love it. I love the size, the ease of operation, and the fact that I can open my excel and Word documents on it.

    This is a Great Tablet For the Money

    I got the Samsung Tab A 16gb for a Christmas present last year. I looked at several others, but read a few reviews and chose this model. This really is a great tablet for the money. I have had no issues with it, and quite honestly it performs better than my wife's Microsoft Surface 3, which was more than twice the price paid for this Samsung. She wishes she had bought the Samsung!

    Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is an excellent tablet. I can't believe that it is sold under $300. I think it's an attractive tablet and fast. It's a great buy you won't regret.

    I bought this tablet for my mother in law who is not very tech savvy. This is simple to use and does the job. The only think I did not like was the camera. Other than that it's fast and super easy to use. Would definitely recommend it.

    Decent budget tablet

    This is a decent budget tablet, probably best suited for older users. The resolution is 1024x768, which by today's standards is behind the times as it is the same as the iPad 2 back in 2012. Anyway, the screen does look very good despite the resolution, and brightness is very good (adjustable). It looks a bit better on the smaller device, but it allows for easy reading on both the web pages and reading apps like the Kindle app. Horsepower is not great, but for the most part you won't encounter any performance issues or skipping. But sometimes apps will load a little slower than you might expect. Overall, I think $299 is overpriced for the 9.7" version. I'd prefer to see it down at $200-230. It is half the price of many other cutting edge tablets, but it only has a quarter of the power and specs.

    I had the first generation Galaxy Tab 10.1, so this is kind of a 'replacement'. It is sooooo much faster than the old one, but still familiar. I love it.

    Got it home and connected to my wifi with ease. I love the size. I'm getting older and the bigger screen really helps. I was afraid that by not being true hd it would be blurry but I'm happy to say it was very sharp and bright

    I have an iPad mini and the galaxy tab A is much easier to use and has the nice feature of the S-pen. I don't believe the low screen resolution is a big deal unless you are doing serious photo or video editing with this device.

    Was most definitely worth the money! Was a gift but the person uses this everyday and can use her phone on the same screen as the tablet! Great investment

    I needed a platform where I could show videos, pull up .pdf files and access websites while away from my office. I was originally thinking of a laptop with a flip screen but a rep from Samsung was at my local Best Buy and showed me that I could accomplish what I needed with the Galaxy Tab A. I have not been disappointed. It holds charge well and is easy to use. I only give it a 4 rating because I reserve 5's for something that really blows me away. But no complaints with this unit. Would buy again.
