I am not particularly tech savvy but this is my favorite tablet yet and I have had several Kindles, and 2 other tablets by 2 different companies. The picture is crisp and clear and I find it easy to navigate.

This product is excellent for the price and it's use of easiness. I purchased this for my grandmother who isn't computer savvy at all. But it was easy to show how how to use it and she absolutely loves it.

This tablet is just the right size and fits my needs. I download photos from my phone and pc. I check on my emails and use my apps for entertainment or shopping. I like the larger size of it compared to my cellphone.

this tablet has an immensely slow response time or no response at all. i can press for the keyboard to pop up and have waited & waited for it to pop up or had to press multiple times for it to pop up. websites also load very slowly. sometimes i press the iii in the menu to close certain apps & i have to press it several times for the open apps to show up. even typing this review is taking longer than normal and although i didn't click on "add video" to this review i was stuck on the page to add video. i had clicked "no" to if i would recommend to a friend. i 100% do not recommend buying this tablet based on my experience. unless you enjoy slow responses & being frustrated.

so angry for not spending the extra 150 and getting myself an ipad. 2017 model runs circles around this garbage. samsung you don't belong in the budget realm of things whatsoever. micro usb still a useless micro sd card slot because you can't save freaking apps to it. who the is going to take 512 gb worth of photos on a tablet with an eight megapixel non-flash camera. i think android anything is severely lacking in optimization for app storage as that in my opinion is one of the most important and appreciated features of my ios devices and since android can't do what apple does i don't give your users a choice on what's more important to them movie storage or app storage since obviously android doesn't give both.

I'm very disappointed in this tablet. It is slow to respond when you click on something or press the power button to wake it. Cheaper tablets, such as the Amazon Fire HD8, have much better performance than this one. I've lost all respect for Samsung. Save yourself lots of frustration and buy something else.

Purchased this @ Sam's because they were lower than Verizon. Ordered a tablet cover from Verizon - didn't fit. Took this product into a Verizon store and found out that it is WIFI ONLY and because of that they don't make the covers (or screen protectors that fit properly). Purchased a generic cover at a local store. I'm fine with the WIFI only because I got it only to use in the house. It is very slippery without a case.

i have had a larger tablet and i always had to use two hands to hold it. this 8" samsung galaxy tab a is the perfect size and the screen is quite useful and not a bunch of wasted space. i tried using a 7" amazon fire tablet and it was super heavy and bulky. this samsung is super lightweight, yet sturdy with it's metal clad exterior. i added a protective cover and it's still easy to hold and use. one thing i would have added was a flash / light to the front or back camera for those times i need it i use my phone instead. but i'm sure they knew what they were doing because maybe others in their research didn't see the need for one.

I bought this tablet three months ago and I wanted to give it some time before reviewing. This tablet is ridiculously slow and sluggish. There is a lag between you tapping something and subsequent action on the screen. Unacceptable for a name brand like Samsung. It's cheap, for sure, but you get what you pay for. Basically, an expensive paper weight. Positives: battery life is great.

Great tablet!! But I bought this Galaxy Tab A with 8'' screen a few nights ago, a main reason being so I can use the Termux app on it. But the Tab A and Termux are apparently not working well together. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the Tab A or the Termux app. When Termux is running on my Tab A, characters aren't appearing on the screen immediately after being pressed on the onscreen keyboard. But a sequence of characters appears after I press the spacebar. I looked online, and other people say they're having the same problem. When will this problem be fixed? Again, I don't know if it's a problem with the Tab A - maybe just its onscreen keyboard, or a problem with the Termux app, or both. But Termux seems to work fine on my larger Samsung Galaxy, and on my OnePlus 6t smart phone. I also left this same message, except edited as appropriate, in the comments section of an internet page for the Termux app. I hope Samsung and/or Termux can correct that problem pretty soon.
