    I've only had it a few days but I absolutely love it! I'm a long-time android user and I absolutely love the Samsung/Android interface. I looked at other tablets (Apple, Microsoft) but I personally found those to be very user unfriendly. I would recommend also buying a memory card since 16GB seems to run out quickly (im not super techy but within a week I'd already used about 60% of the device memory just on downloading the apps I needed [no pictures, videos, or documents yet]). Love the stylus options; smokey titanium gives elegant and professional appearance. Great buy!

    Ive been an apple user for years. Iphone 3g,4g IPad 2nd generation. With that i had started to make the shift away from the ios world. To buggy for me and newer apps compatibility with older equipment was just bad. So i purchased the Samsung TabA 9.7 and i couldnt be happier with it. Fast and nice sharp images. Battery Life is great about 10 hours of fairly moderate use which is fine for me. Nice and light weight unlike my Ipad. One of the best parts is apps that i buy i dont get charged tax on unlike the with the apple store. All in all very pleased with the purchase.

    We are a homeschooling family of six and this tablet is great. I use it my self for lesson plans, research, to pat bills, email, ect. My 10 year old does research for reports, watches nature videos, and does his on line math. He loves S note so he can have his math lesson open and use the pen/stylist to work out problems on the tablet at the same time. We have another Samsung tablet that is very good also but the kids always gravitate to this one. Even my 4 year old uses S note to draw pictures. We are planning on purchasing another one of these great tablets!

    Love this tablet. I am a real estate agent and on the road all the time. I had purchased a small lap top thinking it would be great to have with me at all times, but it was too big & bulky. This tablet is small enough to put in my purse or small business bag but big enough to still see the letters & numbers. Easy to use and sync's my calendar to my phone automatically.

    I purchased this tablet for use at school and it performs spactularly! I use it for writing out papers and for accessing notes. It can be used for nearly everything I need to get done that my phone is too small for. It is very quick and responsive and the battery life is fantastic. I charge it maybe every 2 weeks. I'm thoroughly impressed. Another great Samsung product!

    I'm very happy with this tablet. The size is great-9.7" and the addition of the stylus is very helpful, as I'm an artist and sometimes it's nice to be able to sketch something on the run to use later. The camera is excellent. I can't think of a thing I'd change. This is my first Android, so there has been a bit of a learning curve,but it's not hard.

    I was looking to replace my Galaxy Tab3 and found the TabA. It was a good price so i used a warranty credit from geek squad protection that i had since my tab3 couldn't be fixed again and was able to fully purchase the tabA with warranty. Its just what i wanted and even more. It has a great screen/picture. Good sound quality and i love the grey color i chose. The screen is big enough that i use it as a tv sometimes in our kitchen/dining room. Im also able to mirror it onto my samsung smart tv. Love it!!!

    My wife and I are going on a 5 month working vacation and thought it would be a good idea to get a smart phone and a tablet. That way we could take care of everything at home without to much trouble. I am finding it easier to use the tablet than our computer. Samsung Galaxy. I love it.

    Pretty Awesome Tablet

    Pretty awesome tablet. I got this for my nephew for Xmas but found myself interested in buying one for me once I used it. I am a die hard Ipad user but this tablet had some cool features. I like the expandable memory with the Micro SD cards. Your storage is endless based on how many of those cards you buy. I like the office feature as well. This was the first time I used Word and Excel on a tablet. The tablet is nice and light and just the right size for trips in the car. Good battery life as well.

    Galaxy Tab A

    This review is for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. It has a 9.7 inch screen (measured diagonally) and 16 GB of internal storage. It is great for what I use it for, which is mainly playing games and looking something up on the Internet instead of firing up my laptop. One drawback I've noticed when compared to the Galaxy Tab S is that the speakers are on one side whereas on the Tab S, there is one speaker on each side giving it more of a surround sound feeling. I know that you don't buy a tablet to experience amazing surround sound, but it is something I noticed. Overall, the Tab A works wonderfully and would definitely recommend it as a cheaper option to the Tab S.

    This tablet is perfect! I am a apple fan but I wanted a tablet just watch Netflix and play games! I didn't want to spend a lot of $. So I decided to get the Samsung tablet! It is great! The speakers are really loud! A lot louder than my husband IPad 2! When it's time to upgrade my phone I think I am gonna go with a Samsung! I have always had iPhones! This tablet has really impressed me!
