Samsung - Galaxy Tab S3 - 9.7" - 128GB - Black

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 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.

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.

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.

I had the Samsung S2 tablet 32gb before purchasing the new one. I ran three different accounts on it and I was running into internal memory issues. I upgraded to the S3 Tablet 128gb and I no longer have issues running the three different accounts, plus I was able to install a 200gb micro sd card to expand my memory. Another plus is that it fast charges similar to the newer Samsung phones, hopefully they will add wireless charging next time. I would recommend this tablet to anyone who needs a new tablet or anyone who likes Android devices.

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.

So far this tablet has done *almost* everything I need it to during my doctoral program. With the matched keyboard case by Samsung, it works great to take lecture notes and write papers, the pen-based note taking function is perfect for drawing quick figures or conceptual models, and the OS is well-suited to make a filing system for each course's readings/syllabi/notes (it just takes a little practice. My biggest complaint is not with the tablet, but with the Microsoft PowerPoint app, which can be very temperamental in deciding whether it wants to open a given PowerPoint or not.

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.
