Bought this to replace my 2012 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 which was a great tablet for its time. The color, brightness and clarity of the screen is superb, and so is the speed and responsiveness of the processor! I do not experience any delay or lagging as complained by others and suspect that is due to their WiFi service. The 128GB memory and ability to add a 256GB memory card is fantastic as I can store my entire music library and thousands of pictures on this device. Don't even consider attempting that with an ipad! Also thin and light weight but feels solid. Yes, it will show fingerprints as complained by others but so what - install a screen protector and keep in a case and that problem is solved, and your device is better protected. My only complaint is with the keyboard cover. It is a bit compact and takes time to get used to it so I consider that my learning curve and haven't deducted a star. Besides, I have a laptop on which I will do most of my typing. The keyboard cover is very convenient for occasional emails or instant messages and much better than typing on the screen. My first tablet was defective upon arrival - screen did not recognize any input other than from pen. Best Buy replaced it the next day. I would have deducted a star or two because of this, but Best Buy replaced it immediately without issue, and the second one was flawless so no harm, no foul. Besides, that is exactly why I buy anything electronic from Best Buy.

I upgraded my previous Samsung 10.5 Tablet. Decided to get a smaller tablet. Great Memory, rear camera 13 megapixel and speed. I am a Very Big Samsung believer. The only problem I am having is with the wifi. For some reason it drops. Best buy is working with me to resolve this matter. Highly recommend Bestbuy.

I like it because it has lots of memory and can install 256 gb sd card. I download videos and audio and use up a lot. I also like the fact that I can open 2 windows at a time, and take notes while looking up info in other window. I like taking notes with stylus so I can save and print them later. My only gripe is the price, and also the price for the 256 gb sd card. They didn't have it at the store when I purchased, so I got the 128 gb sd card. It was significantly cheaper. I'll upgrade if I ever fill this one up. I also like the fact that I can use with keyboard case, although the tablet kind of falls out of the case a bit. Doesn't seem real secure. Maybe I just need to get more used to using it.

This is the best Android tablet if you can afford it. Really slim and light weight and fast. Great screen and SD card support make this a great tablet and the S pen is actually really nice and useful.

I had a Samsung tablet with 32GB of internal storage that, even with an external 128GB SD card, was always on the edge of running out of space (some of this was due to how the latest Android version handles storage). The S3, with its 128GB of internal storage, makes that issue non-existent. All of my apps are stored with no concerns about running out of space. The 128GB SD card can be used exclusively for documents, movies, music files, etc. The tablet itself is excellent. It's got a great display which can handle 4K UHD/HDR videos, mostly on YouTube right now. They look as good on the S3 as they do on my 4K OLED TV. Four speakers yield sound that is much better than most tablets. The processor is fast and can handle any app and almost any game out there. The 4x3 form, similar to an Ipad's is much better for reading web sites, magazines and e-books than the prior 16x9 form. It's not quite as good for videos but you get used to the larger top and bottom black mattes pretty quickly. A stylus is included for those that find one useful. The tablet also comes with a fast charger. The only nitpick is that the battery drains more quickly that I would like but that's not enough to affect my 5 star rating.

Came over after years with an iPad/iPad Pro. This 128 GB Tab is the one to get, apparently exclusive to Best Buy. The screen is great, the pen mazingy useful, and the whole interface zippy and functional. Great upgrade from the iPad.

For the longest time I have been wanting a tablet that could replace a 2014 Note. Unfortunately Samsung keeps releasing tablets with little to no memory. Finally a tablet with 128gb and an expansion slot too boot. Every bit as fast & better SPen functionality!

I've wanted a tablet for quite some time, but could never justify purchasing one because I can simply use my phone or laptop. After a great deal of research, I decided on the Tab S3 - 128 GB.
I use the tablet much more than I thought I would have. Due to the large internal space on this tablet, I essentially use it now as a laptop replacement. Because of the size and light weight, I utilize the tablet throughout the day at work and at home as an organizer as well. I couldn't be happier with this purchase - I only regret waiting so long to finally get it.

The Galaxy Tab S3 with 128GB memory is clearly the most capable and flexible tablet out there. I recommend adding the 256GB micro-SD card and the keyboard case as well. Superb display, fast processor, easy setup and operation. Outstanding!

I bought this tablet to replace my old Asus tablet. I can say that I really love it because has great screen, vibrant colors and I love that has 4 speakers. It is very similar to the Ipad Pro 9.5 but with the difference that this one has 128 GB and can be expanded to 256 GB is necessary. So far nothing negative to say.

I had been looking for this tablet sine long as it has 128 gb of internal storage which is enough for a normal user. I got this tablet on a discounted price of $550 on new year. I like Tab S3 aspect ratio of 4:3 which makes it handy and comfortable to read documents and Stylus is a big plus.

Honestly I'm torn. On one hand this is a fantastic Samsung product. Runs quick, amazing storage, and almost replaces my laptop but on the other hand I have had software issues with it since I got it out of the box. It got stuck in a bootloop in the very beginning. And now every now and again it will freeze and when I try to restart it it gets stuck in a boot loop until the battery dies. And then when I power it back up it's as if nothing ever happened. It won't even let me do a hard restart when it's stuck in the boot loop. If I send this back for warranty they're not going to see that anything's wrong with it because it's working fine. It only stays stuck in the boot loop until the battery dies. So how are they going to determine that it's melfunctioning? So I have a love-hate relationship with it. It's unfortunate because it costed me on sale $550, plus another $100 in accessories.
