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 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.

Got mine for Christmas, and 3 days later I had used 30 out of 32GB internal storage on apps. Bought a samsung 256GB sdcard ( great value at A ). Put in, format, and .. no way to move apps to sd card. The option ( apps, app, storage, move ) is not there. The newer android option to format sdcard as internal st6is also not there. So I'm returning the tablet. Shame, otherwise nice paperback book sized modern tablet with great battery life. No auto sleep wake function that I could find either. Has micro USB, not the newer usb. Again, shame.

I just bought this tab, wanting to replace my 8.2” tab, this one while newer does less than the old one. Touch screen is not as sensitive as the old one and screen mirroring isn't possible with this tab. I spent 52 mins on the phone with Samsung trying to get screen mirroring to work only to find out that this device even though a 2019 model doesn't screen mirror. I'll most likely be taking this back. Very disappointed in this tablet!

I purchased this tablet just to be able to use the Pattern Keeper app for cross stitch. I purchased the app from the google play store, I up loaded my chart it has been working beautifully. After I loaded my chart on it I turned off the WiFi so I don't get any interruptions from notifications. I like the tablet and love the app.

Excellent product Lots Z(Upgrading from Fire 8" 6 gen) Much cleaner than the ad loaded Fire tablets. So much faster since it doesn't have to download advertising data every time you turn it on. (Are you getting the idea that Fire Tablets are a royal pain?) Impressed by the design and performance all the way around.

this tablet is my second galaxy tab. my first one was a gift, love it so much i had to have another when it went out . the tablet is durable, reliable and comfortable to tote around and hold. the huge selection of apps has helped me work from home and relax with a good book, movie or music. it has been my best friend and sanity saver during this miserable covid quarantine!

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.

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.

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.
