While some users wish for improved camera quality and more memory, the positive feedback on usability and value outweighs these concerns. The tablet's lightweight design is also frequently praised.

    I use it a lot but there are some key features of Android 10 that just don't work. For instance, Default Storage location doesn't work to the external SD card.

    Junk! Ive had nothing but Samsung products. This Tablet is my first and LAST electronic product from Best Buy. Two months old and brand new device DEAD! Best Buy policy: you have just TWO WEEKS for exchange or return or you're out of luck entirely! Now I remember why I haven't shopped there in years. Shouldn't have taken the chance. I won't get burned twice by them. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND THE HEADACHE OF NO SO CALLED CHAT GEEK SQUAD! Only 1 star bc zero isn't an option.

    This tablet really is too slow, even for the occasional Facebook scrolling. I wouldn't recommend getting anything lower than a Galaxy Tab A7.

    Sold me a bricked tablet

    I purchased an open box tablet. Unfortunately someone had logged into the tablet's account previously, so the Samsung security chip basically bricked the device. I realize that this is done to prevent theft or reselling of stolen goods, but Best Buy should never sell an open box item that is essentially useless. The device needs to be reset by an official Samsung service center, just doing a 'factory reset' on the device does not unlock it from the Google account.

    Going backwards

    I have bough 2 of the "older" versions of this tablet. They come with the new USB-C connection. I just bought the latest model and it has the older Micro-USB connection. They are going backwards in technology and that does not seem like a wise move. The USB C is a faster charging battery. The Samsung online help desk says I can get the new unit with the USB C version but it is almost double in price.... What he is failing to see is that the more expensive tab A is a 128GB vs this one that is 32 GB.

    Overall not super impressed. I primarily bought it to cast to a TV, and it doesn't support it. It's not super fast, but not awful.

    The screen is already cracked and I've only had it for 1 month. Hard to believe that it cracked at home when it's in a protector. Big loss of money.

    I feel like Best Buy should give better description of this product, because I would not have ordered it if I understood that tablet did not except data.

    i thought i was buying this product new. This is a refurbish product, it is slow to turn on and when it do the lighting is constantly too dark, strain on my eyes. What is even worst is, it goes dim constantly, i have to keep adjusting the light. I can tell it was a fixer upper, not brand new, like my Samsung-Galaxy Tab A, (the black one) i brought last year.I have no problems with that one, and its the same one. I need my money back.
