SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A 8.0" 32 GB WiFi Android 9.0 Pie Tablet Black - SM-T290NZKAXAR

This is my first tablet. At first, I had issues trying to get through the set up. It wouldn't let me get passed the QR code when setting up the wifi. My niece helped me get it setup and have it updated. Once I got to the home screen, it lagged while the tablet was updating and trying to navigate the tablet. Once the updates were completed the tablet started running smoothly. This tablet is sturdy, and well built and not too heavy. The back camera takes good pictures for a tablet; but the front camera is a little grainy. It seems to be great for scrolling on Facebook, looking through emails, and searching the internet. Playing any games from the play store does make the tablet run a little slower at times. Overall, I like this tablet. I would recommend it if you're like me, using it for Facebook, using it for emails, or searching the internet. If you're looking to play some of the Google play games, it may lag or slow down.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a great tablet. The battery life is wonderful. The screen display is crisp and clear. I stream quite a bit and have been loving the size of the screen and the sound quality is great! Setup was quick and easy. I would recommend this tablet for any age!

If you’re looking for a tablet that can keep up with your online activity that is not bulky but yet not too small, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is for you. With its 8.0 inch display, it’s big enough to clearly present your content on a screen that you can hold with one hand freeing up your hand for surfing the different apps or simply to hold your drink. This tablet is equipped with an Android operating system, a Quad Core (2.0GHz) processor and a 2GB of RAM which empowers it to handle all the tasks you would throw at it, from browsing the web, to playing music and movies not to mention playing board games, Candy Crush, etc…. With a crisp screen and clear sound engineered with Dolby Atmos surround sound format and two speakers, you’re guaranteed a pleasurable experience and the best part is, I didn’t need to spend hours figuring out complicated adjustment settings. Out of the box, the sound and display were of amazing quality. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A comes with a strong Li-Ion 5,100mAh battery and an expandable internal storage. You get 32GB of storage space but you can add a MicroSD card up to 512GB. That’s a lot of songs, movies and pictures. Speaking of pictures, this tablet has two cameras. A 2.0 MP front camera and an 8.0 MP rear camera and a Full HD 1920 x 1080 video recording resolution. The main camera has an auto focus feature and you could add a floating shutter button so you can easily snap a picture. So far I’m pleased with the picture quality (see attached wishing well photo). The tablet comes with a charger and is equipped with an ear jack and a charging port. It also features an adaptive brightness feature that would adjust the screen brightness based on the existing lighting to relive stress on the eyes. To summarize, if you don’t like tablets with a bulky design and don’t want to compromise performance, give the Samsung Galaxy Tab A a try, you won’t regret it. Whether I’m surfing the web, taking pictures or playing a movie, this Tab delivered and without breaking the bank.

This Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a solid little tablet, with 32gb of memory. The ability to add a SD card for additional storage (with limitations) it is sure to meet most of my needs. The tablet runs Android 9.0 and is easily set up within minutes of receiving. This is a WIFI only tablet. Galaxy Tab A does offer a minimal bezel thus allowing maximum viewing on this handy sized 8" tablet. The adaptive brightness display is responsive and battery which is 5,100 AH supports a charge which surpasses most tablets in this price range. The camera is adequate at 8MP rear and 2.0 front lens. The video recording is set at 30 fps. Offers a headphone jack and has a great little speaker with adequate bass. The most substantial con for this little tablet primarily applies to the expandable external memory up to 512gb micro SD card can be added but no ability to move apps onto the card, preventing customized usage which hampers the average user. The tablet arrives with 40% of internal memory dedicated, I have not yet attempted to remove bloatware to truly customize this tablet to fit my lifestyle. Additional negatives are the lack of the USB-C charger and inability to wirelessly charge and the lack of auto shut down and/or startup when a magnetic cover is closed, all relatively minor cons. Yet enough backwards movement from Samsung to downgrade overall rating by one star. I tend to chart and track off road trails and this little gem will certainly provide the ability to do so while being financially feasible.

The size of this tablet and the looks of it are very nice. It has a really good display. The camera works well and it connects to Wi-Fi and also my phone's hotspot very easily. My biggest concern was the speed of the tablet. This is not going to operate at the same speed as any phone that has been made in the last couple years. Currently it is updating the software for the third time. On the second update, it updated to Android 10. I would put this tablet in a category of use by a beginner or for children. It just doesn't have the speed needed for today's apps. However again it looks really nice and it works without any errors so far so that's a plus
