    Locks randomly when I'm using it. I changed the screen lock to the maximum time but it didn't fix the issue. Total garbage. I should have just put up the money for a refurbished iPad from Apple.

    Tablet was fast, easy to operate, however, after a few hours of use the tablet's power button did not operate, and the volume down button was unresponsive. Returned to Best Buy and their suggestion was to return the tablet to Samsung. Best Buy was unanle to replace the 128 gb 4mg ram configuration.

    I thought for sure after reading so many good reviews that this tablet would be amazing, WRONG!! My old galaxy S2 is better than this, there's no fingerprint scanner, the picture color is basic and doesn't have the option to adjust. For being a fast processor with good ram it's still slow. Just hours out of the box and being set up with all my apps and tools and getting nowhere with this, I was back on my old S2. This is being returned, it is completely useless.

    Doesn't have amazon prime video app anymore. Mainly purchased to play videos from that app. Can't play that. Making tablet pointless. Bad picture quality for newer videos. Videos the the 80's and 90's look fine though since it's lower quality. Freezes constantly. Takes an extreme length of time to turn on. Everything else i didn't until the prime app stopped working. Not worth the investment.

    I recently purchased the Samsung galaxy tablet and after 3 months it can't be charged. I have checked the charger, the charging port, tried turning it off but it won't turn off and all updates are current. I didn't purchase an extended warranty because I have never had a problem with any of my tablets, I guess it's always a first time. Now I'm stuck with paying for something that doesn't work.
