    Samsung needs an "unhinged" product line

    The samsung galaxy tab active5 is perfect for its size. It has all the computing horsepower you need to stay productive and connected while still being small and light enough to stow away easily. The only thing i wish was better is the camera modules they chose for this model. Samsung could have included the 3 lens module from their s24 and s25 phone lines and made this 8 inch tablet a much better mobile gadget. The cameras included are fine, but they kind of missed an oportunity to add something like a FLIR sensor to make this a more versatile tool. There is a market for the consummate pro-sumer that wants stuff that just works, but also has crazy capabilities and features. The world is slowly becoming more in tune with a post planned-obsolescence vibe, and samsung could really break out with a product line that takes this tech conundrum head on.

    The only drawback is that is goes dead even when not in use. Have to turn power off at night. It's a great tablet though.

    Caution: Broke after updating

    I don't know if it was flawed design, back luck, or what, but within hours of starting the tablet for the first time; I let the tablet update after it gave me a notification. I let it update. And after it restarted, loads of settings were reset and the screen display was off by around an inch, leaving a thick black line across the top and the bottom of the screen unusable. I had to return it the same day, as even a factory reset could not fix it and Bestbuy's repair guys said there was nothing that could be done.

    My favorite device on my business arsenal. If T-Mobile would allow it could easily replace my phone full-time.

    Every phone I have ever purchased from Best Buy in the past, I received complimentary assistance from store in transferring old phone on to new phone. On this phone complimentary assistance was denied even as the sales rep suggested assistance would be forthcoming. Disappointing ... Deceptive
