    Great tablet! It was bigger than we expected. It's Bright, fast and the battery is long lasting. We got this for my partner to have something to use while he was in the hospital and it was perfect.

    Samsung hit it off again!! A year later, it's still an amazing tablet!! For my first such device, i am pleasantly surprised by the performance and size. Pretty much since the day i bought it, I've kept battery saver on, and I'll say it's a nice balance of performance and battery drain. Though I wish Samsung had included its extreme battery saver like on the A51 (that battery would last a week with it on). My only other concern comes from grammerly. it's a bit slow sometimes to indicate a correction is needed, but the light still pops on. I'm not sure what i was expecting for its price point, but all expectations were dismissed shortly after I bought it.

    I had been searching over 2 months on customer reviews and comparing the different Samsung tablets. I knew I wanted a Samsung because i enjoy the brand. I wanted a laptop that had enough memory for pictures and documents, a reasonable price for this size of laptop, battery charge and ease of searching the internet. Im happy to say this tablet meets all of my needs and happy i chose this one. Would recommend to anyone looking for the same needs in a tablet

    Purchased this tablet to replace an Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet. This runs on a completely different system, like a computer, so its faster. The screen is clearer and sharper. Used for games like Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft as well as for Google Apps for school. We purchased a case with a keyboard and mouse to complete the setup. ALSO the battery lasts for 2 days on general use, which can be 8 or more hours a day.

    Great purchase, plenty of available accessories, salesman was amazing and super helpful. Love that it can accept microSD for expandable memory. Snappy processor and long battery life. This unit will primarily be used as an off-road gps and music hub for my SXS. Works better than expected. Makes me want to put my kindle in the recycle bin.

    Replaced our 12 y/o ipad with this tablet. Crisp clear screen, excellent battery life, ability to add storage as needed, were all features that lead to us choosing this tablet over others. Price was better than other brands. We purchased a case for protection and feel that will increase the durability greatly.

    This is my second Galaxy Tablet. I had an Tab. S2 previously. I like this one very similar to my other, easy to understand and connects fast to internet. Lots of apps and easy to download other ones. Charges pretty quickly and battery lasts long.

    Once started, this tablet processes quickly. The 1200x1920 screen resolution makes for crisp beautiful graphics. The sound is quite fine, although using quality ear buds or headphones is more desirable. This unit is thin and light for its size. Sure beats my outdated Tab A2!

    I have been using this tablet for almost 3 years now and it is running just as well today as it did when I first took it out of the box. This tablet has excellent screen quality, excellent functionality, excellent battery life and excellent sound quality when watching movies. I 100% recommend this tablet.

    This is a good tablet! The space on it is great. We bought it for my son, and he can play all his games and watch movies. It has a really good sized screen. This is a perfect tablet for a kid graduating from the cheap amazon tablets.

    My second Samsung tablet and it just gets better and better. My first one one of the very first models, was basic and yet oddly reliable, performance-oriented, and user friendly. This new Samsung tablet beats that hands down for presentation, usage, and upgrades from the original model. I don't see a scenario that could talk me into moving outside the Samsung family for their tablets. Pricedright, great features, workhorses all the way. Highly recommend

    a solid basic tablet

    Since I use a Samsung phone, I decided on an Android tablet. My needs aren't demanding as my main uses are to read books, play music (mostly interfacing it to a stereo integrated amplifier to play flac files), light internet use (connected to home wi-fi or to my phone as hotspot), and a few other apps that I also have on my phone. So nothing really taxing in terms of computing power. It's just nice to have a screen larger than my phone without having to lug a laptop around. So far it performs as well as expected. There are times when I power it down to conserve the battery, knowing that I won't be using it for a while. When I power it back up, when it gets to the log in screen, the screen rather quickly goes off. So unless I'm carefully watching the boot up progress and touch the screen when the log in screen appears, I have to inconveniently push the power button. It's a minor irritant. I did install a 512GB SanDisk card and experienced a problem while transferring files to it through the tablet's USB and at some point the transfer aborted resulting in a corrupted card. Repair efforts do not succeed. There's a zero byte file that seems to be the center fo the problem, but I can't delete any of the files or even reformat the card (I've also tried from Windows and Linux computers). I assume the card itself is at fault, but as I don't have a proper lab to perform failure analysis, I can't rule out a fault in the tablet's card interface. If it happens similarly with another card, then I'll suspect the tablet. I'll add a comment to this review if I have a repeat incident.

    I read on this tablet , never have a problem with it and its been over a year, i got a nice cover for it to protect it and the screen is nice and clear and wide enough for me to read without issues. I also watch my shows on it when on vacation sometimes. nice little and lightweight. My son has one for his gaming and u tube stuff as well.
