Good tablet. Upgrade from the Tab 4.0
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great upgrade from the Tab 4.0. i like that Samsung removed the chrome from the perimeter, placed the usb slot on the top, and improved the processor. The major disappointments that I have with the tablet is 1) making it only an 8GB model (although you can increase it to 200 GB with a microsd card), and 2) lack of accessories. Samsung has provided nice folio covers for the 8.0 and 10.0 models BUT NOT THE 7.0. What gives? they have the case with the multiple folding cover but other than that, you have to go with a third party...and those are few! Make more cases for this! Good size compared to the iPad Mini 2 and the Amazon fire HD 7 (2014 edition).

Fits my needs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a tablet of a certain size to run a GPS app in my Polaris RZR UTV. This one fits well where I need to mount it and it does have a built in GPS. This model has been on the market for quite some time so by 2020, the specs are weak and of course it has a bunch of pre-installed apps that can't easily be removed. It does play Netflix videos fine and runs my GPS app fine but nothing is particularly snappy performance wise. It is also lame that Samsung hasn't put out an update for the OS for years. With multiple apps open, it runs out of horsepower pretty quickly. I wouldn't buy this for your everyday surf the web, email etc tablet if you have a little more budget available but it suits my purpose well and if you keep just a couple of apps and browser tabs open at a time, you'll probably find the performance adequate.

Great bang for the buck!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) 7" primarily to use as the display for my DJI Mavic Pro drone. The tablet has worked flawlessly for this intended purpose. Maneuvering thru the device and menu's is fast with little or no latency. I installed Amazon Prime Video as well as Netflix and both performed exceptionally well. Cons: although I new the specs prior to buying this unit, the only things I can not give it higher marks for are the screen resolution (720P) and the screen brightness. Indoors, the screen is adequately bright. But since i purchased this for drone flying, it is very poor in bright lights (outside). If not for the poor brightness (lack off), I would have rated this a 5 star product.

Inexpensive but u get what u pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I regret the purchase because I can’t use certain game apps do to the lag & slow touch response. I can watch videos on the device pretty well. I installed a larger SD card for better functionality but the 8gb version was a mistake & I wish I purchased at least the 32gb instead. Basic functions are fine but memory will be an issue. Good battery life though

Got Good Deal on this just before Christmas
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros Very awesome has an S pen the ram is 3gigs which is decent its all you can expect and more from Android OS Marshmallow. I focus more on ram, the more ram the better it runs. 16 gigs of paltry storage memory its okay you can get an SD card cheap on ebay. 278.00 for this at Christmas saved 70 not bad for what they consider midrange end machine. The Book cover for this model( oem verison) is scarce so make sure you get the correct one SPEN book cover.

Q: Questiondoes this tab support a/c wifi , dual band wifi.....thx
Asked by markwal777.
- A:Answer Found this out the hard way. Had a Tab 4 7.0 that supported a/b/g/n 2.4/5ghz band. Assumed the Tab A 7.0 would also. Wrong. Go to check out my wifi settings and see my 5Ghz wifi isn't showing up. A little more spec research and I learn the Tab A only supports b/g/n and 2.4Ghz band only. Very disappointing. I have an AC1900 Asus router. My old Tab 4 7.0 will get full wifi speeds on the 2.4ghz band..about 59mbps. Same test multiple times on the Tab A 7.0 I was maxing out only around 18-20mbps. I was wondering why the Tab A was downloading so much slower than the Tab 4 when i was doing a side by side test. Annoying.

Q: QuestionBeing computer stupid, having a dumb cell phone and only have a Kindle, does this do all the tricks a smart phone can do. I don't want it in any way to be a phone--I never answer anyway. Can I transfer 300+ books I have on my Kindle?
Asked by galenadogs.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - Galaxy Tab A 7" 8GB - White
- A:Answer No you cannot. This tablet has very little memory and can only hold about a dozen or so books. It is sold as having 8G of memory but after all the pre-installed applications you are left with barely 3
