Excellent Quality Tablet for Work

Okay, I am not a computer nerd among nerds but I do like gadgets and have a lot of them.
Being that I have owned Apple products since the 1980's and love them, one would ask "Why not an iPad?"
I have bought 3 and would have bought another one BUT, Apple's iPad does not do what this one can do and that is work in a much larger area.
I NEEDED a tablet with a Sprint hotspot to go with me across the country and to operate a drone using Google Maps without downloading them first.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S2 uses Spark technology and can receive and does receive signals all over the place. Apple's iPad with Sprint does not.
The quality is there and apps work great. It does the job and putting it in a nice leather case makes it look even better. I have to admit that when using apps for work, Android is beating Apple.
So why 4 stars and not 5?
Unlike Samsung phones, I have yet to be able to conserve energy when it sleeps. I have to turn it off and that is where the Apple iPad beats it hands down.
One other thing is that the 32 GB seems to be the limit and I was led to believe that I could add a micro SD card and there is nothing in the manual and no little door to open the unit up. I really wanted to add a 64 or 128 GB card.
If you are a Sprint customer and need a Sprint tablet, there is no choice as this tablet is the best choice up to the end of 2015. Maybe Apple will get their act together in 2016.

The Samsung Tab S2 is great every thing that I was looking for. The speed the vibrate colors and the memory 32 gb. The tab is very thin almost too thin but you get used to the feel. I think that I would have been just as happy with the smaller one. I use it on the sprint network.This thing is fast faster than my phone. It gets better reception than my phone Note 4.

I previously had a seven inch Galaxy tab and liked it fine. It was just too small for me. I needed to use my tablet at work and the larger piece just works out better for me. Also the maps and weather radar are much better in the larger size. I love this tablet. It is very responsive and the battery life is good. I usually charge it fully once and no more than twice weekly. The colors are real sharp, the camera takes great pictures. The video and sound is good. Overall this is my favorite tablet to date, ( I have previously had 4. ) I also splurged and got the wifi and LTE. It works great. I feel it to be worth every penny and I am always connected. I have experienced no down time or lack of connectivity at all. (Sprint network) All together I highly recommend the Galaxy Tab 3, 9.7. Get one and you will love it.

I absolutely love the Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet! It is fast and extremely lightweight. It is the perfect substitute for Apples's iPad Air2 for those of you who want to be able to customize your tablet to your liking and not be stuck with the same Apple icons across devices. Although only 32 GB, the ability to be able to mount up to a 128 GB SD card is great.

I wanted a tablet that could be used for credit card payments at my little shop. So satisfied with that. I also wanted a tablet for music, books, pictures, etc. Also, satisfied.

This tablet worked well until battery started to go bad. Fortunately, I bought the extended warranty! When I took it to the store for battery replacement, Geek Squad told me the battery would not be replaced for this older model and refunded my entire original purchase price!

I purchased this with the intention of using it on a Sprint contract. However no one including Best Buy and Sprint could activate the 4G system. After 4 days, numerous hours waiting at several Sprint outlets and Best Buy I had no option but to return the item. Best Buy in San Angelo would not let me speak directly to their Sprint representatives. I ended up calling corporate on my own and still could not get the tablet activated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Having my new Sprint /Samsung tablet allowed me to hire more movers at the drop of a hat! It also helped schedule a second Uhaul. I just love the easy access to everything I need!

I bought this for my 10 years old and he loves it! It works great and durable enough for a kid and powerful enough for an adult to take over. Lol

This tablet has exceeded all my expectations. Syncs very fast. Can set up multiple user profiles. It works very well on both Wi-Fi and the Sprint network.
I bought the tablet online through Best Buy. Wait for an occasional weekly $100 off special at $499! Shipping was quick!
For me, the LTE connection setup could not be completed without actually contacting Sprint. They were very helpful, needed some tablet information and just like they said, it was activated within one hour after calling them.
There is only ONE drawback for me on the go:
Normal charging of the tablet battery requires the original wall charger ONLY!
If you try and use a USB power source from your computer, lighter socket adapter, etc. the tablet will display a warning message "Slow charging To charge faster, use the original charger"
This message means exactly what it says.. SLOW!
In reality.. VERY SLOW!
So, charge it up before you go mobile!

My wife and I both have this tablet. Hers was an upgrade from an old Nexus 10 and mine from a Tab S. Both of us like this tablet very much. It has a beautiful display and runs smoothly. We would both recommend.
