Customer Ratings & Reviews

my daughter take Samsung=Galaxy Tab to every where. even Church Services to take note Disney for taking Pictures and many Games. also math practices and easy to skyp with Brothers and friends. pictures are very clean color is very nice.

Bought this tablet and don't regret it. Great size, great battery life. What more can you ask for. Priced just right, has everything I need. I bought this as an alternative to using my phone for games and apps. Highly recommended.

I recently signed up for Texture online magazine service which provides unlimited access to over 50... After a week of trying to read them on my Amazon Fire 7 (bought last spring to use for plane reading) my options were stop the sub. or get a larger tablet which supported the way the magazine pages appear online. I had planned to get the newer 10.1 model but after looking at the more rectangular shape (more suited to movies and I don't care about camera...); decided 9.7 more square model was more pleasing to my eye for reading and less expensive at Best Buy's $199. As soon as I started it; the system allowed me to upgrade to Marshmallow with no issues and I LOVE the screen colors which I did not know I was missing with the 7 until buying this tablet. I have not tried using an SD card yet but so far the past nine days; the battery life has been good to VG (if I leave it on airplane mode when not using but on). PS my store had no exact fitting cases in stock so I ordered Amazon's "ProCase" Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 Case for $13.99. It fits like a glove and comes with a stylus pen you can use on the tablet. Cheers!

Works very well. I have a note 3 and this tablet is comparable. The resolution is not as good as the galaxy tab s2 but videos and pictures still are crisp and the speakers are very good. You will notice the difference when you are reading text. I suggest you play with the tablet in best buy to see if you are comfortable with reading text. It is fine for me but it is not as sharp as the galaxy tab s2. I was surprised the camera worked very well even in low light. The spen works just like any other note phone or tablet. The battery life is awsome. At this moment my tab a has 67% battery left. I charged it last 13 hours ago with 6 hours of screen on time and some Internet use and snote use. I use it mostly for studying and Internet. Overall it is a wonderful tablet.

I wasn't sure if I wanted a lap top again and decided on this tablet. Small and convenient yet big enough for netflix. Easy to use.

I bought this tablet as an upgrade to replace my original ASUS ePad 1.0. The smaller screen, speed and brightness are great. Plus, it has better audio than the ASUS. I don't think the audio is better than my iPad (it has better bass). On durability: We only had it a week when my son dropped the Samsung about 18" onto a tile floor. It was a glancing fall that cracked the screen. The crack is below the screen line so it doesn't interfere with the display fortunately. It works fine otherwise. Given the Amazon commercials, I think I would evaluate their tablet in hindsight (I like durable).

The Samsung - Galaxy Tab A - 9.7" - 16GB - Smoky Titanium is quite better for about the same price as last years model even though the screen is smaller.

I got the tab a with pen and my husband got jealous and wanted a tablet so he got the regular tab a. Greatest thing about this tablet is the battery life. My hubby really like the 9.7 inch screen.

The is a great all around tablet; it's the perfect size for work, video streaming, game playing, and book reading. It's compariabke to an Ipad Air Tablet but cost much less. My only issue with this tablet is that it doesn't have an HDMI Port, other than that; it's perfect.

This is our second Tab from Samsung. This one was for my daughter who wanted a wifi device that was bigger than her phone. She opened this Christmas morning, was up and running, sync'ed apps, and was online active in a very short period of time. Her first response was how impressed she was with the graphics for the online games and for running NetFlix. After I did not see her for a while her second comment was how surprised she was with still how much battery power she had after about 4 hours of non stop games and videos. We also love the MicroSD slot to easily increase the capacity. One thing my wife hates about her iPAD (which is why she has our first tab).

I got the 9.7 Tab A. It is amazing! Very fast, easy, sleek, great look and feel. I can do my work using the installed Microsoft office apps. Use pdf files and also perfect size for reading and watching movies on netflix. Awesome tablet. I just wish I could download flash on it. Use it more than my old laptop at this point. Can even print directly from tablet to wireless printers. Great screen resolution and the battery life is incredible! Speakers are pretty good too. Haven't had an issue at all. Will update after a few weeks.

I love this tablet! The struggle is real when it comes to keeping up with charges in my busy life. I can literally spend all day working on my tablet and still have battery left when I come home. The screen is also fantastic! So clear and large enough for my old, tired eyes. Great product, and I would most definitely recommend!

This is a great tablet. I had started out with a Dell Venue 8, which just didn't cut the mustard. I thought I might have to go over to the dark side and get an iPad, but this Samsung rocks! A ton of performance for the price. Streams You Tube like a champ. I like the Samsung cover case, it folds up and works in plenty of positions. I just need Samsung to make a dedicated keyboard and I can take this in place of laptop on biz trips.

Good size, not to big or to small. Light weight. It does everything I want a tablet to. Easy to use. Only thing I would do in the future is get more memory.

I did my homework before purchasing this Tab a 9.7. It was time for my older one to be replaced and this more than fit the bill. Its functionality is excellent; great speed, excellent clarity, comfortable size and phenomenal camera are equaled by its ability to multi task flawlessly. Being a college professor who often teaches hybrid classes (classes that have both an in-class and online component) the Tab a is also a major help in and out of the classroom. It makes it effortless to access the many servers I have to work with in the course of any given semester. And It's just as easy, on my down time, to enjoy catching up on the news, personal email with friends, social media messaging, and a good book. Using the screen keyboard has never been a problem for me, so I don't feel a need for an external one at all. I have the choice to turn the key sound on or off or to simply swipe. All in all, a true win-win situation!!

I have been looking for a tablet for about 6 months. I wanted to be able to use it for presentations and personal organization. The Tab A is great for both. Even though it is very slim, it seems to be pretty rugged. It has a great screen and the operating system is just like my cell phone. The speed of recharging will surprise you and the battery life is better than I had expected. It's a great buy!

I was looking to replace the iPad I had to turn in when I left my job. I needed something portable for doing email, Web browsing, pictures, some music, and a few apps. I hadn't really thought about a Samsung until the salesman offered to show it to me. It had everything I needed and more at a lower price than the other tablets I had looked at. Not only that, it synced nicely with my android phone. It's pretty simple to set up and use, too. I like the keyboard better than the one on my old iPad. All in all, I like this device very much. (Be cautious about the case made by Samsung for this tablet, though.)

This is my second tablet and am enjoying this for its practicality. Battery life is good and size is great for my recreational purposes. Image is also very clear.

I love the size of the screen. I had a smaller 8.0 Samsung tablet and enjoyed that but wanted an upgrade with a larger screen. As usual Samsung did not disappoint. The screen quality is outstanding and there are a lot of things that I can do with my new tablet. I really like the addition of Microsoft Word. I can do more "work" on my tablet when necessary. The only negative I can say is the response time is slow. I'm not sure if it's the WiFi or the tablet. My previous tablet had 4G capability and WiFi and was significantly faster.

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.
