    Fast and reliable. Good memory with the option to upgrade using a microSD memory. So far I haven’t upgraded memory because there is no need at this point. My kids installed many games and still has enough memory.

    It's a good tablet for the price. The touchscreen is less sensitive than i'd like - it takes a bit of trial and error to find a good pressure with the stylus. Comes preloaded with apps I'll never use, jut that's par for the course with Samsung.

    Excellent graphics, Took some getting used to since getting this upgrade to replace my older tablet. I wish you could use earphones that are not wireless. I miss the center button my previous Samsung tablet had.

    Much much better than the Lenovo tablet it is replacing. Our older lenovo tablets have been great and some still in active use. Due to a broken screen, we bought the one Best Buy had in stock. Within 30 days, my wife was done with it. Since it was outside the return window, i bit the bullet and bought the Samsung tablet. She is so much happier. Battery life is what we needed it be and much smoother operation. Very happy with this Tablet.

    I bought this tablet to replace a Lenovo tab i bought over a yarr ago. Bottom line, it blows the lenovo out of the water for speed. The Other tab was bought because of the price but it lagged terribly. Even when clearing the cache. This Samsung tab has immediate load time for all apps and web pages. I highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Samsung electronics and thought I'd try the Lenovo. Lesson learned.

    Not the S series but great for moderate use. This is our 4th purchase of a Tab A tablet and they usually last about 4 to 5 years before the specs are no longer capable of keeping up with software updates.

    A better Tab

    This replaces my old 10.1 inch Tab A. The bigger screen still fits in my shoulder bag and I can easily take it everywhere. It can transfer vido calls from my phone to its large screen, saving my eyes. It's case is sleek - I'd prefer it more grippy, but that was easily solved with an aftermarket case. A welcome change from my original Tab A is the USB C port, now compatible with my other portables.

    In general it is a good tablet with its limitations because it is cheap, it is a little slow, the colors are not very vivid, sometimes the power button does not work properly, however I would recommend it.

    Pretty good little tablet, not real fast, but it is not a PC. Unfortunately as with all technology the thing will be out of date by the time you read this.

    I always been a big fan of Samsung tablets because in my opinion Samsungs tablets have better resolutions than Apple tablets. This tablet doesn't disappoint.
