Bought this item for my grand baby for Christmas and she just loves it

Great quality this tablet So happy to get that help me a lot whit me daughter

Its a little slow...touch screen and processing lags a little but overall a good buy for a toddler

I bought it to run spotify to cut back battery usage on my phone. Works great for that. It is a little slow for the web but for the price I kind of expected that

The tablet in itself, is a nice size 8.7in, which makes it easy to carry. Preferred a much higher storage capacity. (But it only comes with a 32gb or a 64 gb option). Brought the 64gb due to the fact a sdcard up to 1T gb can be added. (Now a days why would any device make any internal storage space less than 128gb. After a few downloaded apps the storage space is max out, for most apps are set up not to be transferrable to an sdcard so annoying and frustrating). Brought the 1st one. Everything was working find for a few days. Was able to transfer a few apps to an installed 512gb sdcard. But all of a sudden the apps were deleted and not able to transfer again. So I took it back. Brought a 2nd one. Same issue so took it to Bestbuy. Due to the fact it was purchased on the Samsung Site. I was advised by a nice store agent to send it back and purchased another. 3rd , the same issue, however I noticed this issue only happened after the Android 12 system update was installed. The apps that were on the sdcard were deleted by the Android 12 system update. So I reinstalled the apps. However each time I try to have them move to the sdcard, I would get the error “NOT ENOUGH STORAGE SPACE”. Which is really ridiculous for the sdcard is brand new with 512gb of storage. Went back to BestBuy and not even their Geek Squad could understand nor fix the issue. Called Samsung. After the agent wasn’t able to help. He had me mail the device to their technical department. A few days later received an alert stating: the device was fix and ready for shipping. Days later it was still saying the same thing. I called and was told by the agent it was fixed, issue solved, but it takes 7days for items to be mail out. (Which makes no sense, as to why and he couldn’t say). However he said he would put a notice for it to be shipped out. 8 days later going on the 9th day. The device was still not shipped out. I then received a text about them trying to contact me to give me a refund. So I called to find out about my device that was supposedly fixed over a week ago, but was told by the agent this time the device was defective (how did it go from being fixed and ready to shipped out to its defective. Could it all have been one lie after the other). Still waiting on my refund over 10days later. Still waiting on my refund. I brought another one. 4th one Hoping Samsung had fixed the issue. But to no surprise they have not. As you can see from the photo and video below. Well be returning and not purchase again. Ridiculous. Why have Samsung not fit such an issue. “NOT ENOUGH STORAGE SPACE “ error Due to the Android 12 system update. Horrible. Not able to transfer any apps to the sdcard. Not even the apps that are transferrable. It even deleted the apps that were on the sdcard. Frustrating. Really wanted to keep the tablet, but not with the on board storage space. Not worth it. Why have a device that holds a sdcard up to 1Tgb, but becomes useless if not able to use the extra space. Will certainly not recommend. Fix the annoying error.

Bought it for my niece. She still uses it every day and she loves it so i love it.

Excellent samsung tabletbfor my daughter is perfect

Very good tablet for the price. It gets the job done. Got it for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. She likes the size because it fits in her pocket book!

love it. was gifted to my child. botb child and i love it.

Got his for my mother for a surprise present. She loves it, she mainly reads books, watch Tiktoks, TV shows, and video chats on it. So far so good.

Great product. Enough space is perfect for anyone to used. I was so happy with my purchase I ended up buying a second one. I definitely recommend this item.

Easy to use . It’s easy to bring everywhere . I recommend this one

This tablet doesn't have a great feel to it. The battery life is horrible on this device. It doesn't hold a charge long. The price isn't worth it in my opinion. Bad battery life makes the experience horrible when using this.

I purchased the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7", as a replacement for my 2019 Galaxy 8.0" which had 32 GB internal memory and 2 GB RAM. I ran out of space on my 2019 tablet and it was slow. I wanted the 64 GB version of my 2019 tablet, but it's only available on the Samsung website and the slow issue would still be a problem. A nice salesman (sorry, forgot his name), steered me towards the Tab A7 Lite because it was on sale and in my price range. I also didn't want a large tablet. He told me that the tablet and cover for it were returnable, even if I opened it. I really like my Tab A7 Lite and overall, I'm glad I purchased it. There are pluses and minuses to my last tablet. The 2019 8.0" has a much better sound system (way better), an oleophobic coating on the screen, doesn't have a camera bumped out and the battery life was amazing... like two days. The only thing that really bothered me about my new A7 Lite tablet was the sound, even with headphones, it's not great. I put on a sound/equalizer App and messed around with the App. I adjusted the bass up and the higher frequencies lower. I upped the overall loudness of the sound, since it was too low. The sound is so much better. So, there is a fix for that. I recommend this tablet over my older one, as it has a tad more pixels per inch and a better aspect ratio, making reading on it much clearer if you are into downloading books. Its screen is whiter and not an off white like my old tablet. With a sound app with equalizer capabilities (there are free apps) you'll improve the sound a whole lot and the right App can up the overall volume coming out. The colors are just as good as the 2019 tablets. It's super-fast when downloading. I'm not happy with the battery life, but then again, 4 GB of RAM will get you speed, but lower the battery life. Instead of getting 12 to 13 hours, I now get 7 to 8. It also charges a bit faster than my old tablet, making the battery life less of an issue, but a bit of one too. Overall, I'm happy with the tablet since the sound issue can be fixed with the right App... and I'll take speed and more memory over a slower tablet. Best of all, for the sales price of $149, it's really worth it. Plus, like the 2019 Tab A, it looks to have a metal back, which helps cool the tablet. It think it looks better in design than my old tablet and I like that is it USB-C.

Purchased to replace aging A7 tabs that didn't have enough storage.

Okay, let me preface this review by stating that I also own a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S6, Galaxy A32 5G, and a Kindle Fire HD 8 (2020 Model). I am no stranger to the performance expected among top-tier android devices. With that said, here is what I think of this “low-tier” android tablet: -Speed: For the price, the Galaxy A7 Lite is plenty fast, especially for the simple day-to-day tasks the average user will be doing. Sure, this tablet is no speed demon. Apps won’t always open the fastest. Intense multitasking can drag down performance (although, not near as bad as you may think). “Laggy-ness” or “choppy-ness” of the UI is certainly existent, but not near as bad as some make it out to be. For reading, catching up on news, doing some web browsing, and watching some YouTube, the A7 Lite is perfectly acceptable and works very well. Like, shockingly well for what I initially expected, especially compared to the Kindle Fire HD 8. -Sound: The A7 Lite comes with stereo speakers, one on each side of the tablet. And they sound just fine for what they are. Most devices in this price range don’t even include two speakers, only a measly single speaker that is quiet and lackluster. Compared to the Kindle Fire HD 8, the A7 Lite speakers are certainly louder, more full, and more enjoyable to listen to. Oh, and this tablet comes with a headphone jack. Not a huge deal, but something to note, as nowadays headphone jacks are becoming less and less common. -Screen: You’re getting a just-above-720p screen with a TFT LCD panel and it’s not the best. But for the price, it is more than acceptable. I am used to 1440p OLED panels, but using the A7 Lite was not near as bad as I assumed it would be. Sure, the viewing angles aren’t the best, and text isn't the sharpest, but again, for the price it is totally fine. Not near as terrible as I was initially afraid it would be. -Build Quality: Wow, the build quality on this tablet is fantastic. An all-metal build with the weight to back it up, it feels incredibly sturdy and very premium. I would expect a build like this out of $400.00+ devices, so it is nice to see in the A7 Lite. -Battery Life: The battery life has been perfectly acceptable. I get through a day of usage without issue and average around 7 hours of SoT (screen-on-time). This is better than what I get out of my Note 20 Ultra and is not bad at all. Cameras: They’re quite “meh.” The A7 Lite has a 2MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear-facing camera, and they work alright. Not the best image quality, but you aren’t going to get top-tier camera specs on a low-end device. The front-facing camera is probably about equal to something you’d find on a laptop (quality-wise). -Gaming: Okay, I’ve tested the following games and their performance is as follows: a) Minecraft: Runs acceptably. Framerates smooth enough. Definitely playable. PLAYS OK! b) PubG Mobile: Runs below acceptable, but still playable. Framerates are smooth enough, but could be better. Was able to get through a game without issue. PLAYS OK! c) CoD Mobile: Runs acceptably. Framerates smooth, with better performance than Minecraft (although, both are still equally playable). PLAYS OK! d) Genshin Impact: Surprisingly, the game loaded without crashing. Unsurprisingly, the frame rates are terrible (5-10FPS) and this game is NOT acceptably playable on the A7 Lite. DOES NOT PLAY OK! -Game Streaming: I have also tested Google’s Stadia and Xbox’s GamePass streaming. Both work well, although I will say GamePass seemed a bit more stable for me. Your performance will (obviously) vary depending on network conditions. I was using a WiFi connection, 5GHz, with speeds of about 100Mbps (at the tablet). The actual internet speeds I pay for are gigabit, but I don’t think the A7 Lite has the best WiFi chip, even if it supports 5GHz. -Samsung Ecosystem: Since this is a Samsung tablet, it works very well in tandem with other Samsung devices, phones especially. This is a major plus to the tablet, as it extends the experience and makes it more enjoyable to use. My favorite feature is personally the “call and text on other devices,” where I can make/receive calls and send/receive texts on the A7 Lite (since it is connected with my phone as well). -Drawbacks: Aside from the obvious drawbacks related to the performance, screen, etc., there are some issues that should be talked about. For one, the WiFi chip in the A7 Lite won’t be able to accommodate your super-fast internet speeds at home. It works, don’t get me wrong, but it’s just not the best WiFi chip. Although, this is a fair trade-off for the price, considering it is still good enough. Second, you are limited to 480P streaming on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, and any other services that utilize WideVine DRM. This is arguably the BIGGEST drawback to the A7 Lite, and is potentially the biggest deal breaker. -Final Thoughts: So, given the drawbacks of the A7 Lite and the fact that it is weaker than other devices, would I still recommend it? Actually, I would. The price is right, and tablets in the 8” range are more difficult to come by than larger tablets. I would also recommend you spend the additional $30.00 or so to go with the 64GB version since it includes an additional 1GB of RAM. 4GB of RAM is very decent for a tablet of this price. The A7 Lite has really surprised me, and it will be a nice addition to my everyday usage. I do not regret the purchase at all, and honestly believe it is worth it for the price. Just remember, keep your expectations in check. It is still a sub-$200 tablet.
