Samsung - Galaxy Tab E - 8" - 16GB - Wi-Fi + 4G LTE Verizon

i needed a tablet that had wifi but didn't want to have a contract. i was disappointed that this was the only wifi tablet the store had, but i am satisfied with the purchase. i activated it with verizon, and the signal is wonderful. of course this depends on the are, but the places i've used it, it runs just as fast on 4g as it does on my home internet connection. it only takes about 2-3 hours to charge fully and the battery life is surprisingly long. although, i make sure not to have apps running in the background, keep my bluetooth off unless i'm using it, and keep my location off to help save power. sounds like more of an issue to deal with than it is. as someone who switched from apple to android, there are a few things that i don't like, but that's more of an os and app issue than anything else. for example, the mail app. there are plenty of them out there; unfortunately, none of them can do the same thing that apple's mail could do. i use to be able to an email from one account folder (jane@example.com [inbox]) and put it into an entirely different account and folder (doe@example2.com [cars]). before, it would only take me 20-30 mins to go through and organize my email. now it takes almost three times as long. it also takes much longer to sync with the server. to give you an idea, i can go through emails on this tablet and about 20 mins later, go on my laptop and still see emails that were supposed to be deleted. this happens on both wifi and 4g, so that tells me it's the tablet and not the carrier. there are a few other things here and there that bother my, but not as much as the emails. the only other thing that i will mention is the lack of cases that seem to be made for this model. overall, this is a good tablet that mostly suits my needs.

I purchased this tablet as a birthday gift for my father. Prior to this purchase, had been using a tablet at least 5+ years old. When asked to review it, his statement was, "It's faster than my old one." This tablet is good for anyone who needs a casual, easy to use tablet. My father uses online coupons, but always had to print them out. Now that his tablet can use data or wifi, he doesn't have to print anything out. His only complaint? He still has to clean the fingerprints off of the screen.

The Tab 8 is an almost perfect tablet. I have had several other Samsung units and the evolution of them to this one is quite noticable. It boots up fast, switches internet pages fast, and is just plain fast all around. The 8 inch configuration makes the screen much easier to see than a smaller 7 inch one. Again, in general, it doesn't get much better than this...until the next generation is released, that is!

I asked the saleperson to recommend a Samsung tablet in a particular price range that would connect to the internet. I am very happy with this tablet that he suggested. Best Buy did not carry a screen protector for this product in the store and I had to order one, so OF COURSE I scratched the screen before the protector arrived. Please carry more accessories in the store.

I bought this for my sister-in-law who has never owned a smart phone, PC, or tablet. The screen is easy to use and I am having a hard copy user guide sent to her. I think that this is one of the best beginner tablets on the market. The only drawback is that it seems to use a lot of data. It has WIFI so she can go to Starbucks or MacDonalds but I can see that I will have to get her a bigger data package if she uses it at home.

The upgrade to this new device has been amazing. I am very hesitant about changing items once I get used to them. However, this device has truly simplified my life.

This tablet is really nice. The video quality is great. The quality of the more expensive Samsung tablets is better, but compared to other brand tablets in the same price range the quality is far superior. It's also light and relatively thin. I brought this tablet as a replacement. I've had it for over a month and couldn't be happier. I definitely recommend this tablet and I'm thinking about purchasing another.

After upgrading my phone line I asked if they had any tablets available for Verizon. I knew nothing about this tablet, and im one who usually researches a tablet before buying. This tablet has nice picture quality and sound. However if you are in a busy area sound will be hard to hear. The lightweight of the tablet makes it easy to carry anywhere you want with the most reliable service (verizon) with you.
