Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Galaxy Tab A8's large screen size and its ease of use. Many also praise the tablet's long battery life and find it to be a good value for the price. While some users wish for more RAM, the positive feedback on the screen, usability, and battery life outweighs this concern. The camera quality received mixed reviews.

    Even with additional microSD card, the onboard memory limits the device terribly. "Blacks" are not black when watching (Netflix, YouTube...). Overall performance is dismal.

    I haven't even had this 6 weeks and now it won't charge and I can't reboot. The sound buttons don't always work either. In order to have it looked at by BestBuy, I now have to make an appointment. They'll look at it, send it out to be "fixed", return it 2 months later, and it will still have the same problem. By then, it will be passed the warranty period so BestBuy has no more obligation with a product bought from them. How do I know this?- been there before : (.

    I brought the tablet for my elderly parent and its done nothing but given me issues since I got. Now with Best Buy only giving a 15 day window for returns I'm stuck. The tablet turns off and on by itself. I thought it was the case since it seem to stay on without the case it still turns off and on with a different case. It also go into airplane mode by itself and the display randomly dims. $300 buck down the drain

    I took this thing right back after I opened it! It was too hard to set up, and once I did figure it out it still wasn’t working properly.

    Nice tablet. As a former iPad user, I had some adjustments to make. Still figuring out how some things work. So far, so good!

    It lasted 3 months. Last week I paused a movie and it never worked again, It is not the first time I have problems with Samsung. Let's see how the guarantee responds. Would never recommend it. FaceID is terrible, response is average to poor. Only good thing was the price, but looking at the 3 month life, it's looking expensive,

    Purchased in May of 2022; by July of 2022 the harddrive failed completely. It now won't turn on and I'm "outside the permissible return" timeframe...there are cheaper ways to buy a paperweight.
