Enjoying Upgraded Tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We weren't actually shopping for a tablet, but decided to walk through BB. The promotion to trade-in (an up) from the old tablet to the newest mid-level tab from Samsung was too good to pass up. It was good enough that my mom decided she didn't want to move from a 7" to an 8", but up to the 9.7". So with the promotion, spent $200 for her to get this new tab. Screen size is good. The case is streamlined, but tablet seemed a little heavier than I'd anticipated. Also wasn't happy they only had 2 colors. While 50% off was a nice incentive, with after-market cases for significantly less, it was a hard sell for the Samsung case in either black/granite or blue. The inclusion of the MS Office products was the defining point and convinced me to trade in another old tablet for a 9.7" TAB A for myself. We've only had this tablet for a short time, but so far, we've been enjoying it. Pros: Good size, especially for older users; MS Office for productivity Cons: A little heavy for reading with one hand, especially with Samsung case installed; color options for the accessories available are severely lacking.

Fine Tablet for people at different comfort levels
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This 9.7" size is a very good compromise between a cell phone and a lap top, including the price aspect. For the price it is a worthy possession.

An art student's dream for school
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Galaxy Tab A 9.7 16GB with S-Pen is a fantastic introductory tablet for college students, especially if they are pursuing an art degree. The Wacom digitizer and stylus (S-Pen) are wondrous tools for note taking and digital art. It allows for having a digital notebook and sketchbook all in one leading to better organization, financial savings in the long run, and over all convince. With the multiple user profiles that Android allows users to have they can easily keep their personal and collegiate areas separate in order to aid in studying and overall productiveness while giving for a personal location for media consumption and other personal needs. This device is also cheaper than its competitors’ introductory devices. This lower price combined with better performance for this range of device – the lower, introductory end of tablets with built in styli – makes this tablet a definite contender for college students, and a must by for art students.

Husband really likes this upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Talked with Best Buy reps as well as the on-site Samsung rep as to what my husband uses his tablet for and based on that information a couple of options were presented to me so I could make a decision. Recommendations were extremely helpful. My husband really likes the upgrades he now has and it was just the right tablet for him.

Great Tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only PROBLEM I have with this tablet is that it DOES NOT have a built in flash for the camera. I was out of town 4th of July weekend and I tried to take pictures at NIGHT! NO LUCK! Why have a camera with NO FLASH????? I would recommend this product to someone that doesn't plan to use the device camera at NIGHT!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs Microsoft Office a trialIt says it comes with Microsoft Office yet Samsung/Best Buy is offering $20 off MS Office. Is Office a trial and you have to purchase it to keep using it?
Asked by Bill.
- A:Answer The software on my tablet was NOT a trial. Made sure of that before purchasing as I checked all software and apps.
Answered by DocCw
Q: QuestionIs there anything special in the HW of this tablet that enables the S-Pen to work?I'm interested in the large Tab A and to see its available with a stylus might be a really good plus. I can't seem to find out if it's simply the same exact 9.7 that normally comes without the pen. OR... is it somewhat different hardware, software, or an added app in the OS that allows the S-Pen/stylus to work with the tablet. If this specific model number (which comes packaged with the s-pen) is unavailable, is it possible to create one by just buying the normal 9.7 Tab A and S-Pen separately, and just combining the 2 to create this version? Would that s-pen work on any Tab A, or does it need to be specially configured to work together?
Asked by Mr Bungle.
- A:Answer The model with the S Pen is different hardware. The pen requires the specific digitizer in this tablet to work, the regular 9.7 model will not recognize the pen. This model also has 2GB of RAM while the regular 9.7 Tab A has 1.5 GB.

Q: QuestionCan you add a micro sd card to increase power and storageif so, up to how many gigabytes can I add, and where to insert card with the Samsung Galaxy A 9.7" 16 GB wifi
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer On the Tab A, you can add a MicroSD card - I added 64GB, and it's wonderful. I'm not sure if it increases power at all, but it absolutely increases storage!

Q: QuestionAble to take notes?I want to be able to take notes on the tab and need to know if resting my hand on the tab wil mess up writing with the S pen. I tried it on a Note phone and my hand could rest on the screen without ruining what I was writing. Will the same apply to this tablet?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This is the sole reason I bought this device. The palm rejection is EXCELLENT! No, it will not mess up your writing at all.

Q: QuestionThe viewing size of characters in relation to screen sizeDo the larger screens have larger characters or is there just more of them?
Asked by sterv76.
- A:Answer Yes this has larger text and a bigger easier to use keyboard. I have problems with my fat fingers, with small keyboards. This one suits me fine.
Answered by gamerguy1969
Q: QuestionA couple of questionsCan you tell me what is the advantage of the pen? At the store on the models it seemed primarily for use as a finger. Note taking did not seem easy. And next, will the microsoft apps connect withother brands of pc and laptop besides Samsung? And last, how easy is the 9.4 size to use for casual use in your lap? I'm used to a 7" model. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!
Asked by Belle.
- A:Answer The s-pen is better than a finger or other stylus. It's thinner and in the s-notes program you can change the thickness and color of the pen. It also has other features when hovering above the screen, and when you depress the button on the side a menu of quick tasks opens up. Note taking is easy in the s-notes program and writing with the s-pen is useful in other programs like calendar, tasks, etc. S-notes converts writing to text pretty easily. There are a few quirks to it but it is very intuitive. The MS apps that are pre-loaded are read only, you have to pay to upgrade to write/edit functionality. They will work with other PC/Mac MS products but there may be some inconsistencies across platforms. The 9.7 vs 7 inch screen is a personal choice but I purchased the 9.7 for going to college and I'm glad I did. It's perfect for taking notes, writing equations, and sketching.

Q: QuestionReading e-books?Would this tablet work well for e-reading and watching movies, or would the Samsung Galaxy S be better in terms of speed and quality?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer E-reading, absolutely most any tablet will do for that for sure. Watching movies is no problem for this tablet either. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a viewing experience much like you would expect from a nice Samsung HDTV This is NOT that tablet. Two reasons, the aspect ratio of this tablet is 4:3 much like an old Tube TV while all televisions made today are HD 16:9 ratio. Second the screen resolution on this tablet, tho fine for casual watching, an avid movie watcher may see this as sub par. so, If you're looking for a good tablet for reading and productivity I would recommend this tablet. The aspect ratio is more true to paper and with Office mobile Preloaded this guy shines. If youre looking to have a mini HDTV in your hands go for the Tab S. Its lightweight, power packed, and the display is INCREDIBLE!
