Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this is tablet for sketching since it has a stylus. I use sketchbook express (free app) for drawing, at it works really nice. The screen is plenty bright at 1/3 brightness. Full brightness is almost obnoxiously bright. Battery life is great so far, even while streaming shows on hulu. Certainly better than my Samsung phone. Only thing I wish it had is a menu button like my phone.

Just love my new galaxy tab a. Perfect for traveling and everyday use. Awesome pictures and has Microsoft installed.

This is my first tablet and it's very easy to use. Not sure what to say about it except that being that it has Google on it i love that what i saved on my laptop Chrome browser can be accessed on this as well. Also has Google Play and I can download games and I can type my stories with my keyboard I purchased along with this. So when I got this i really did get my "Best Buy" Awesome! I got a great deal Tablet and Keyboard and full Geek squad protection for under $500

The tablet was a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves it so much he doesn't use his cell phone as much as he use to. It's the perfect screen size and takes great photos.

after reviewing several similar products and brands and their prices Best Buy was the most convenient location for this product which was my very top choice. They were willing to price match and i even got the very color i wanted. it was out of the box ready to go, easy to set up and get started using immediately. it is very light weight, it has great speed and i have found the camera more useful for my business than i ever imagined.i use other samsung products and i feel confident about their reliability.

My brother and I purchased this as a gift our mother for her birthday to replace a cheap tablet she purchased years ago that hasn't given her the bang for her buck. We are HUGE users of Samsung products whether it's a cell phone (I have the Galaxy S5 Sport, he has the Note 5) or the tablet (I have the Tab S 8.4, my kids have Tab 4's, and my dad has the Tab A 9.7), so why stop sharing our love. We know that she will love it and it's easy for her to use.

I love this Samsung Tablet - its is compact enough to carry around in it's case/keyboard. I am a photographer and this tablet has very clear graphics. It is very fast as well. We are going to use this when we travel instead of a bulky laptop. Highly recommend.

This tablet is a replacement for a Digiland tablet that I bought for my Father (82 years old) just over a year ago. He really caught onto using the original tablet and could barely put it down. It was a really good entry-level tablet to get him used to one. After having my Galaxy Tab S2 for almost a year, I noticed a huge difference between my screen and the one on his Digiland so I recommended that he upgrade to the new Tab A. He couldn't be happier! He reads books from the Play store, browses Facebook, plays games and has really enjoyed the much better screen resolution and colors. I would highly recommend it (as would he) to anyone looking for an extremely high quality tablet and an upgrade to an iPad since you can control what you do on it instead of iTunes controlling everythintq. Want to load music or movies? - hook it up and copy. Want to organize files? - launch the file manager app and organize away! No iTunes to get in the way to stop you from doing what you want to do. Get one - you won't be sorry.

Wife is primary user who wanted a bigger screen to view her ballroom dance practice videos rather than using small video camera screen. Screen size is right, lightweight to hold. Also she likes to text and email which is handier than a smartphone. Wifi only function she is still getting used to (she is not a technical person) but where she typically uses has wifi so it is fine not to have 4LGE communications.

While a tablet can never replace a full size computer or laptop it does come in handy and is quite useful for school-work and related things that require mobility and smaller screen size then a laptop (which can take up your whole desk or work area). In addition the Samsung tablet comes with Microsoft Office fully loaded and this is not a temporary 1 year program but a permanent license use. It also has a great camera and speech to text capability.

Very easy to use. Large screen. Use it all the time! Can't say enough good things about this tablet!

My daughter is a tech addict, and although she has a laptop, smartphone, ipod, TV, etc... she also wanted a tablet "for school." She absolutely loves it, and it has been her companion since Christmas day. It was moderately priced (did a lot of research to get the most I could without spending an arm and a leg), and does everything that she wants. Rep at Best buy said other than the $100 tablets, these were best-sellers this season.

It is easy for her to use. Has great battery life, and is everything she needs to ditch her laptop.

I was looking for a tablet that wasn't an Apple tablet, but worked just the same. As a student, I absolutely loved that the tablet came with FREE Microsoft programs like Word and Excel. Portability was a big deciding factor what I was searching for tablets as I didn't want something bulky or took too much space. Although this tablet is the bigger on from it's series, it doesn't feel too big. Absolutely love this tablet!!!

Love the tablet its the perfect size....a little slow at times.. i expected it to be a little faster but serves its purpose good for an everyday tablet..

Take beautiful pictures. Very aceccesable to the internet. The battery life is very strong.

Very good tablet, almost as light and thin as iPad Air. Good user interface. Bonus from Samsung: get a free book every month. But battery is not that good. Have to take at least 8 hours to get full charge

I was worried about the difference in aspect ratio from other tablets, but after using the tablet for a bit, that worry was put to rest. This tablet was bought as an upgrade to a really old 1st generation Toshiba tablet my father was using. I myself have the 8.4 Tab S and have been really happy with it, so I figured why not for my father. Needless to say I am a bit jealous now. This tablet has been great.

To start off the battery life is great. Especially on stand by its does pretty well at power management. A 1080p screen would have been nice but the 720p isn't too bad for watching YouTube videos, playing games, surfing the web and the other basic tablet stuff you would do. I like that it has side sync 3.0 built in and you can expand the memory. The viewing angles are OK but not great for watching movies unless they are bright and colorful.

I have always been an Apple user, but my simpleton husband was given an android phone by his company. I bought this tablet in an attempt to learn the android software so I could teach him some tricks on his phone. I have been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use and learn. It is truly mirrors his phone which helps me help him. Screen is clean and crisp. Samsung has packed a lot into this tablet.
