    For a non techy person better instructions would have been nice. I was able to figure it out after a bit. Works great and does what I want. I would recommend this item.

    Never buy open boxes...... It was the only choice in our area where we could get it in an acceptable amount of time or at all, so we had no choice. We open it and it looks great, but of course there are things wrong with it. When you shut down the screen, and re open it, the sound is completely gone. You need to close and restart the apps to get the sound back. We have to go to geek squad now and drop it off and who knows how long we will be without it. Save yourself the hassle and always buy new. I wish we would have had the option.....

    I purchased this for my wife and she really enjoys it! It's much easier for her to play her games or read her books on this larger screen instead of on her cell phone.

    A newer version of a trusted old friend. We've used the previous Samsung tablet for more than 10 years. Same look and feel and reliability.

    It still is not complely functioning. I had to go buy a cord, case, screen protector separately and they did not even have them at Best Buy. I went for help the day after I tried to hook it up and sales person rudely just pointed me toward the Geek Desk. The guy there just asked for money first and offered no help. I have told my friends and do not intend to return to the store. I should have returned it the day I went for help.

    This is a nice tablet but the screen colors are not the best when streaming. No big deal, just best to know it before. Still great quality for the price.
