Customer Ratings & Reviews

This isn't exactly a flagship tablet like the Galaxy Tab S series. There is no Dex mode. The screen is dim and washed out compared to a Tab S. The max RAM is 4 GB, which might be limiting in the future depending on what future software is like. Long-term storage is small, but is expandable with MicroSD. There is no haptic feedback (vibrations). There's no HDR. The resolution is roughly HD. As long as you can live with all that, this is a great tablet for the price. Samsung has promised 4 years of firmware updates (same as basically all newer Android devices) and 5 years of security updates. As long as you don't do anything exotic that requires a beefy processor or lots of memory, this tablet should be good enough for most things. Even without Dex, the Android version of MS Office apps are really good, and the Google equivalents (Docs, Sheets, etc) are good enough, so you can even do light productivity, especially with a decent cheap Bluetooth keyboard. The 4 built-in speakers sound great considering the price, but if you want sound quality, there's a headphone jack. If you want an affordable tablet that is part of the Samsung ecosystem, i would recommend this over the Tab S6 Lite because this one will get more firmware updates in the future.

I bought this one because my first one lasted for 8 years and I got this one as a gift. I love the size, the speed and the accessibility.

It’s very light weight and great performance. Really good product

Excellent & economical purchase for my needs - mainly browsing, reading docs & checking my e-mail while dining at home and/or out for breakfast or lunch. These needs are primarily (1) reading online news, articles, reports, etc. and (2) checking my e-mail when I'm out and about. It's also great for storing my library of numerous travel/trip photos and family photos. For this purchase, I was able to trade-in my old Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" tablet, which had served me well for several years - but which was limited to Android 7 and whose battery was no longer holding a charge well. I would have kept the Tab S2, if I could have found a highly-rated, reliable replacement battery for it. But I could not. I could have lived with Android 7 (for my needs), if I could have found a good replacement battery for it. However, I'm enjoying the additional features and efficiency of Android 13 on my new Tab A8 10.5". I also really liked the outstanding high-res AMOLED display of my old Tab S2 9.7". It's 2048 x 1536 resolution displayed my travel photos in amazingly rich color and detail. And I was reluctant to give this up. But I did. While the quality of the colors and of the high-resolution of the AMOLED display is a far more satisfying experience than looking at photos on my new Tab A8, the Tab A8's 1920 x 1200 resolution display is still satisfactory for my needs. And its price is a lot lower than Samsung's higher-end AMOLED display tablets. I also bought a Fintie brand case online that's custom made for the Tab A8, and I am pleased with its design, fit and quality.

I love this tablet, it works wonderfully. Clear crisp pic, and sound are great! Battery is long lasting too!

Great price, great tablet. Love the screen size. Samsung is always a great option in my book.

Samsung tablets are great. The picture and the quality of the tablets are awesome. In the past, I purchased tablets for my grandkids of a different make but they never lasted very long. This is their second set of samsung tablets as their first set after 5 years met my 1yo grandson who tossed one in the toilet and smashed another one by stomping on it, the last tablets still works but I brought all new tablets and they love them.

Great find and price. Easy to use. Large screen, perfect for my Mom- a beginner

Great visuals, speed is great, easy to setup up and transfer from old tablet. Very happy with this!

Got this A8 table in grey for our daughter. Very lightweight and easy to control from my gmail. Long battery life, good screen display and lightweight. Easy for her to maneuver.

Very pleased withthis tablet. The Smart Switch made it easy to tranfer everything from my old tablet to this one, and I've yetfind anything that didn't transfer. Even my statuses for all my games were intact. Love that Samsung allows me a choice on using the swipe feature of the current Android OS and the choice to use Samsung's edge touch feature. Battery easily lasts me a day. My nits; It seems a bit heavy, but I've never had a tablet this size. Colors are not as bright as on my Galaxy Tab 7 (2013), but i don't notice it much. Also the side-viewing angle seems less than the old tablet.

The display, size and battery life are good. Easy to run the apps & great value for money.

Purchased this for my father. Screen is nice and big. So far the performance is good. A good tablet for watching videos, email, browsing, and some games.

Love this tablet. Battery life is great and it feels lighter than my old A tablet.

Love the screen size, the quality of the display, and the battery life. Great to use for personal business.

Perfect tablet for my son. Screen size is good. Fast charging, holds a charge for a long time.

Performance is very good but sometimes it will lag a bit. Screen size is too good and will feel very comfortable while reading ebooks or watching videos and movies

I was able to take other model back to Best Buy and used credit to purchase this model. Although both were Samsung, it was worth spending few more dollars. It was even on sale! It boots faster. Better refresh rate. Larger screen is nice. If you wait for sells it is worth to buyer an upper model. This Best Buy haves the best deals on computers, tablets, TV, headphones, etc.

I like this product, display is great and light weight. processing is quick and have many features.

Big screen and good performance. Very good picture resolution. Only bad thing is too much delay for first turn on.
