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 bought this tablet to test my android apps, and needed Android Pie with decent performance. This tablet delivered all that I expected and meets all of my business needs, including Chromecast screen mirroring for presentations, etc. Some people are complaining about performance and speed, however it exceeds my expectations, with the speed in my opinion around the latest iPad Mini. It loads apps fast, and can take whatever you throw at it. I love the aluminium build, and it feels extremely durable which is great for travel (which is a must for me). Overall, I would highly recommend this tablet for gaming or business. It is a great alternative for the iPad Mini, also with a cheaper price. In my opinion, it is currently the best Android tablet at the moment, especially for the price.

We bought two as Christmas gifts for our kids. One stopped working within a month and wouldn't turn back on. Called customer service and they had us send it in and it took awhile to get back. His now works fine and the other one we have is now doing the same thing. Don't waste your time

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

Nice size, works great, price was great.
