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.

This was a replacement for my Tab S, that was so slow, operating on Android 6, plus the battery was charging slowly, but discharging quickly. This had Android 9 out of the box, but within a day it upgraded to 10. It was a good deal at 90 bucks for a basic tab,and it came with a 32g memory card for a total of 64. I was using a 8" Fire, but that was really slow too. I just don't need a higher end tab, so I recognized this one as perfect for me for a couple of years for the price. Screen is good,quite responsive.

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 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.

Bought this Tab A8 and was immediately disappointed. I had hoped it would be a big improvement over the Kindle Fire I had been using. On a positive note, I like the large, bright screen, and the long battery life. However, the metal case is uncomfortable to hold, and certainly requires a case, which makes the Tab feel heavy. The speed is also disappointing, the touch screen is often slow, or unpredictable, and frequently needed functions like screen brightness, history, bookmarks, and downloads seem hard to get at in Android. So, after 6 weeks of really trying to adjust, I still am uncomfortable and disappointed with the Galaxy Tab A. Maybe that is due to my being unfamiliar with pure Android, or maybe the Kindle Fire is better. I have both and use both, but prefer the Kindle so far.

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 bought this tablet one month ago and absolutely loved it. fast, good battery life, sleek, light. but, after a month of use, it randomly started to glitch and wouldn't respond to my inputs. it's in perfect condition, i have a case for it, there are no scratches or dents. it just stopped working really. very disappointed.

Bought this last December. It was ok. Then 3 months ago it started dropping WiFi. I tried support, WiFi reset.....everything. Eventually I switched to slower WFi, and it seems to work. I have 7 other devices and this one is the only one that does it. Cheap piece of junk. Should've bought other manufacturer, this is not the only Samsung product that I am having quality problems with.

Update of my previous review.. Pro. Great value. Great to find a small tablet for reading books, watching movies. Con. Probably androids fault, but ... you can put a massive 256 or 512 GB sad card in, but only store media on it. You can not A. Format it as internal memory, like other brand android devices with modern android, and B can not move apps to the se card, like you could with previous Samsung and android devices. Apps, esp children's apps, children's book apps and games are huge, and you can run out of space soon. V. Disappointing. Minor cons. No auto sleep wake when you close and open a case. No modern usb socket, used micro usb. Could use a slightly higher res screen. I was going to return mine because I ran out of app space. I had a screen with my 8year olds apps, a screen with apps for a 4yo. And a screen for me. Used up all the memory. solution is that everyone e has to have less apps, get board with them, and change them for the next one. Keeping it now, living with the memory limit for the convenience of the size of the device.

I don't know how it compares to other inexpensive tablets but I was disappointed. It often has a delay when tapping. It is also slow to wake. It is usable though. I don't notice much "jitter" when scrolling. It seems like some apps work better than others. I think the touch screen is a little out of spec - if it was any worse I would've returned it. People were asking about the 32G card...it is in the box, but it's not listed on the label.
