Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted a tablet that I could take on vacation out of the country so I would not have to take my notebook computer along. After reading the reviews on this particular unit, I decided it was what I was looking for, and it did not disappoint. The Android software was already familiar to me since I have a Samsung Note 4 also. Therefore, setup was a simple process. Using LogMeIn software, I was able to access my home computer when necessary and send and receive emails as long as there was a WiFi connection available. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Easy to program and to use, and it is fast, I like all the preinstalled apps. Priced right, Has a lot of great features and a great camera. Nice to have Microsoft office already installed, this tablet can actually replace our laptop, plus easier to use plus has a good battery life.

I sold my iPad 1 and traded-in a junk tablet as part of a promotion at Best Buy to get this tablet. Ended up paying around $100 for it. Great mid-range tablet. Good for all the basic stuff, browsing the internet, watching videos, sending emails, etc. Pros: -The multi-app split screen feature is very cool. You can split your screen and watch Youtube on one half and send emails on the other. The only drawback is that only a handful of apps can utilize this feature -Cheap accessories for this tablet can be found online -Expandable SD card slot -Pretty fast, no lagging -Good screen size Cons -Screen resolution isn't as good as the Tab S and other high end tablets -No flash on camera, not sure if other tablets have this feature -Samsung bloatware -Camera is average, nothing special -Regular price is a bit high for a tablet that is not top of the line, if you can get a Tab S or something high end for within $50 higher, I would go for that instead.

I already own a Samsung S2 tablet and love it. My wife wanted something like it only cheaper. The Tab A fit the bill perfectly. No problem getting it started up and configured. She had no problem learning how to use it and really likes the 9.7" screen. Colors are really sharp and it does everything she wants to do. Well worth the price.

My wife works from home most days (i know, lucky). She needed something light weight and portable that she could bring into the office. The laptop can be too bulky and the phone is limited on what she can do with it. This tablet fits the bill and she loves it!

I bought this tablet because it was on sale and I knew it just had been upgraded to Marshmallow OS Actually the in store Samsung Best Buy associsote Blake upgraded it for me while I waited instead of having to do it over the air. This was a very nice service since sometimes errors have been know to happen during s update , but I got to leave the store that day good to go. The tablet isn't a iPad Pro in speed or anything but I bought it as a secondary tablet for email..internet usage and online buying with amazon and eBay ..and it does great for that. I do play a few basic games fine also with it . ..it can play the other demanding games..it just loads a lot slower and can take sometime to get started I guess. Overall for under two hundred dollars for a Samsung 9.7in tablet running the latest OS ..I think it's a great value...you will to I bet .

I wanted an affordable tablet to carry with me, larger than my old Acer 7" Iconia, but smaller than the larger Samsungs owned by family members. Familiar with the Samsung android applications because of my phone, this 9.7 inch model fits my needs. I purchased a completely guaranteed open-box model and saved more. The S pen function is a plus. The tablet also comes with Microsoft Word making this a useful alternative for work when I am on the road. Bluetooth works well, there is expandable memory, and a Logitech keyboard/case pared easily. I am very pleased with its speed, clear screen, and weight. I would recommend this to anyone who would like a reliable tablet to take along.

I would recommend buying this tablet, while it's still available. I chose it over the newer 10.1, which was too bulky; and the S2, which was too expensive for me at this time. It charged within an hour and was easy to set up, especially if you're used to Galaxy mobile phones. Increasing the brightness and font made up for the lower resolution. The battery life is better than the S2. The tablet size makes it easy to read emails and books, to watch movies, and to use split screens. I like the S Pen and its features, and use it more often than I expected. The one main negative is the "back" key, which does not light up on this tablet.

This tablet is easy and fun to use, has a long battery life, and bright easy to read screen. The S-Pen makes it even easier and more fun to use the features.

My husband purchased this tablet as a replacement for my dead laptop. Much more convenient so far, love the battery life. I took this on a trip with my 2 year old, he was able to watch his movie 4 times before it needed charging. Full length movie, Despicable me (he loves mionions). I didn't get the keyboard yet and I'm rocking it caseless, so far so good. A couple of little drops, no problems so far. I did have a little trouble at first, my cell phone is an iphone, so some of the predictive shortcuts are different, but I've gotten very used to it. The storage space seems ample, I currently have 4 full length movies saved on the device with plenty of room left.

I was looking for a quick note-taker to bring along to a conference as part of my job. This tablet has worked wonders. I paired it with the Microsoft universal bluetooth keyboard and they work like they were made for each other. I've seen a few comments about the screen resolution and all I have to say is I have a very active kindle account and netflix account and I couldn't be happier with my tablet. Now that the next set of tablets are out, this one has dropped in price even further. Skype also works well with this tablet, working on the east coast and skyping family and work on the east coast and it went great. Since I ordered this last minute I got the expedited shipping and had it at my door for me the day after I ordered it, which is really saying something for shipping to Alaska.

This tablet replaced a 1st generation iPad so we had grown up with Apple's way of doing things and found out very quickly there are other ways to do things in the electronic world. Hard to determine yet if the non-Apple ways are better or not but the transition has been challenging at times. I do not feel that I am in control quite the same as I did with my trusty iPad but over time I do think I will figure it out. The reasons we upgraded besides the obvious things of the iPad was so old it was no longer supported, it crashed regularly for no reason while viewing social media, it did not have a camera---you name it there were lots of reasons. Are we glad we upgraded? You bet. Did I mention we did not have a camera on the iPad? Now we cast from the tablet, "Hangout" with friends and family, the wife catches up with friends on the social media sites and doesn't worry about crashing. The image quality is much improved, the lighter weight is also a plus. Maybe an upgrade and some time learning a new operating system is what you need too.

Samsung has turned out a fantastic product that does everything you need to do in a tablet flawlessly! Perfect size, weight, easy on the eyes, and easy enough for a 62 year old like myself to use, best of all, it's very affordable and worth every penny..kudos to Samsung!

I went into BestBuy with my mind made up to purchase the Samsung S2 tablet to replace my old Android tablet. I purchased the Tab A with S pen. This is my first Samsung tablet. I like that the setup was easy, 9.7 inch screen, comes with an S pen, light weight, ability to work in MS applications, responsive touch screen, setup multiple user accounts, operating system is fast and the screen clarity is good for the specs. Overall this was a great purchase for me. The Samsung Tab A with S pen is a good value for its size, weight and smooth operation. I'm happy with this purchase.

This s a very good option tablet for nice price, fast upload system and applications, the battery is very long time life even if you use for heavy videos ( lasting about one day without charging) Excellent option for kids and adults

This is a great tablet: size, ease of use, Microsoft programs already installed and all for a very good price. It is a bit heavier than some other tablets (especially with the Otterbox case), but that's not an issue for me. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I am a iPhone user so new to android and I found this tablet very easy to use and I love it. I finally am able to see my screen without putting on my reading glasses and I love that I can travel all over the house with my tablet and it stays charged for a long time. Other then connection problems which maybe my be my router this tablet is great.

I don't really now where to start, I mean for the price you pay your getting what I would consider a better tablet than most. The build quality is good not great, it feels really lite but not cheap, the speakers sound great, that's right speakers it has 2. Does take a while to charge from zero but battery lasts my kids all day with heavy use like Netflix, gaming and YouTube. It can be used outside but you'll need to turn up the brightness and that will kill some battery life, at 30-50% you can get all day power but it seems to greatly deplete when turned higher than that. It hasn't disconnected from wifi since its been setup unlike our iPad which randomly disconnects itself. The micro usb is great to load up movies or tv shows for the kids and they connect it in the truck via Bluetooth and get the theater sound experience on the road for long trips, no delay in audio with the bluetooth 4.1 while connected to my Ford F-150 sync system or my wife's Mazda CX-5 both vehicles are 2016. Haven't tested in older vehicles. Connects well with home audio speakers as well. Kids and my self love it and haven't used the iPad since we bought it, only bad thing I can say about it is that it doesn't charge fast so if your ok with that and are not a hardcore user like editing and things like that it should do everything you need it to do just fine like streaming and gaming. I didn't really want to add the camera to my review because all tablet cameras are terrible but if you must know the camera is about on par as other tablets if not slightly worse than top model or more expensive tablet cameras.

and it has a very nice camera. it takes really nice pictures I like that i was able to add more memory the larger screen makes so much nicer to view stuff and serf the web. checking e-mail is nice not having to expand views to see the hole thing.

This tablet is fast, light, and ABOVE ALL ELSE has a S - Pen. I was tired of getting 3rd Styluses, that are terrible and have scratched my previous tablet's screen. I have a Note 5 and I love the accuracy of its S-Pen, so I wanted the same experience on a 10 inch screen. The Tab A delivers that experience! There are other reviews which claim that the screen isn't very nice, disregard those reviews, the screen is great for anything you might want to do on this tablet. From watching movies, working on a presentation, to drawing you will have a good time. One Tip I will leave for anyone who has bought this tablet and is experiencing sluggish internet speeds on the play store, even though you have great wifi, is to factory reset the tablet. After this my tablet worked even better than before.
