    Works great for my toddler to watch downloaded videos when we are in the road. We love driving and take quick vacations to nearby favorites not more than 2-3 hours drive and this travel buddy keeps my toddler busy and calm at the same time! Great storage and display!! Love the battery life !!

    Yes you read it right. I bought mine then I got another for my mom. She loves it. Just the right size and so easy to use. She can pair it with her phone for video calls that she can see better.I am thinking about getting one for my daughter also. With easy to use and customizable features makes it hands down number 1 puck.

    I bought this to replace an older 8” 16 Gb Samsung tablet that I purchased in 2016. I learned my lesson with that one and got as much storage space as I could as it may not be clear but apps have to be installed on the internal HD, even if you have an expansion microSD card. Overall, it had the usual bloat ware but runs fairly fast. The larger size is greater for watching movies. I took it on a trip last week and the battery barely only dropped like 25% across 2 2hour flights. I’m quite happy with the purchase and getting it at the Black Friday price of $199 was great too!

    I just bought this tablet a couple weeks ago. I like the size of the tablet, and the way it's set up. Things are easy to find. It starts up much slower than my Tab A. I think the only thing I dislike about this tablet is the photo quality. My Tab A takes way better photos. On this tablet they're grainy looking, and not good quality at all in my opinion. Still got it for a good price.

    Perfect for child/teen. Runs quickly, good display, easy to navigate. Easy to set up Family Link or Samsung Kids, for parental controls. Great Black Friday deal 128GB for less than $200. The only negative I would say is the battery life is not great, moderate use during a road trip (about 5 hrs) and it's dead.

    It's been 5 years since the purchase of my last tablet and I do see a difference in resolution and performance. Battery life is great. I would give it a 5-star rating, but I'm not happy with the length of time you have to hold the start button down for it to activate. Same holds true for total startup time. It's longer than the current time of my old tablet and that's delayed simply because it's old.

    We upgraded from older tablets. These are faster, have lots of storage space and have a brilliant, sharp picture. Only negative thing is that the battery life is a bit shorter than expected (5-6 hours), but my son is playing rather RAM intensive games.

    I have the Samsung 10.5" 2016 tablet. It's getting old, Samsung isn't supporting it anymore and some apps are no longer supported.. So I purchased the Tab A8 10.5 128gb. I thought I was getting an equivalent model especially because of it's price, even thought I paid less because I got it during Christmas sales so I bought it. The downside. The display is not as bright and clear as old 10.5, The battery doesn't last as long as my old 10.5". It's definitely not worth $329. The good it is faster than my old 10.5, and it has 128gb storage and it also has the SD card slot. I would not purchase this model again.

    I love this tablet. The Galaxy Tab A8 is fast and reliable. I use it every day. I put a 1 Terabyte micro-SanDisk in it and now I have way more than enough space. I highly recommend this tablet.

    this tablet is a backup to my work laptop. So far it works great and does everything i need it to do. I've set it up to do insurance (medicare) enrollments. I did purchase a pebble mouse to use with it but not sure I need it. I like the lighter weight.

    I bought this for my teenage daughter since she had outgrown her kindle tablet, and she absolutely loves this tablet. It is easy to install apps, there is tons of memory, and the picture quality is excellent.
