Beats carrying around a laptop & runs on Android!

I bought this to replace carrying around a laptop when we travel for fun. It weighs just over a pound and is easy to carry around. I love all the features like the built in micro-USB port, and the included micro-USB to USB 2.0 connector cable, and the high screen resolution. The fact that I can upgrade the storage space to an available 2TB is mind blowing. Having up to 13 hours of workable time is another great feature. I bought a 128GB SD card to see if that is enough space for now. My wife thought we might need to get a wireless keyboard, but once she saw how large the on-screen keyboard is said that is perfect.

Great tablet, be sure to get an SD card.

Excellent tablet. The screen is huge, the battery life is amazing I use it a couple of hours a day and only need to charge about once per week so far, could go even longer.I use the tablet for drawing, Kindle, email and a few games. It handles all of these without trouble. Games I’ve tried include Dragon’s Lair, Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition, and Hearthstone, as well as Monkey Junior and other kid’s educational games.As a Kindle device, I love the larger screen. I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, but as I’ve gone into my forties I find reading slightly larger print to be a better experience. The screen real-estate on this tablet means I can kick the text size up a notch and still have plenty to read on each page.I also have a few large PDF documents, and with Adobe Reader (a free app) I was able to set them up to page through with a tap at the edge of the screen, just like a Kindle book. These documents are very image heavy, but the reading experience is still very smooth and fast. I was surprised by how nice it was. This tablet has some serious muscle.One thing I was surprised by is how fast this thing downloads apps. Apps that will take a few minutes on my HTC M8 take less than one minute on this tablet. I assume this from better use of wireless AC, but the experience is great.Since I do have the Android phone I mention above, all my apps from that phone auto-installed on the tablet as soon as I connected my Google account. That was very convenient.One thing I would recommend is to pick up a 64GB SD card (or larger) for this tablet. Moving apps over to this card is very easy and fast, and if you store a lot of big files like movies or comic books or lots of pictures, then internal storage isn’t going to cut it.Another recommended accessory would be a decent set of bluetooth headphones.If you’re looking for a good 10.1” tablet though, go ahead and stop looking, this is a great device.Enjoy!

I love this tablet

I love this tablet! This screen resolution is wonderful. Originally I had the 9.7 tab a and I was not satisfied with the screen resolution, so I sent it back when this tablet was announced. I do not regret my decision at all. If you are trying to decide between the 9.7 or the 10.1, I recommend you get the 10.1

I’ve owned the Galaxy Tab A for about 2 weeks and so far I love it. It’s perfect for reading e-books, internet browsing and all types and games. However, I’ve seen many conflicting and confusing comments regarding the GPS navigation capabilities. I was a bit concerned by all the confusion but I am here to tell you I was able to run GPS navigation in my car (WITHOUT WiFi). It worked great but I had to install the Google Maps APP first. The google maps App has a feature to download the maps. I simply downloaded the maps while I was at home on WiFi, then brought the Tab A into my car! The GPS navigation worked perfectly!!!

Read this before you read the negative reviews!! Turning 1-star reviews into 5-star!

I have three of these devices. I was happily sailing along without any problems and didn’t understand the negative reviews … until it happened to me.Problem/Solution 1: First I had the unexpected power-off problem. It happened two or three times before I figured it out. I was holding the device along the right edge (where the power and volume buttons are). Holding it with one hand right along the right edge can cause the front case to squeeze together with the back case along the side where the buttons are located. Apparently this can activate the power button mechanism and shut the device off. Do not hold the device in such a way that you accidentally apply pressure along the right edge!Problem/Solution 2: Today the device would not turn on. Nor would it display the charging screen (the big battery that fills up with green to indicate battery level while it is charging). So I held down the power button and the volume button simultaneously for about 20 to 30 seconds. (Another reviewer implies that it should be the “volume down” button. I did not pay attention to the position of my finger on the volume button.) The battery charging screen came up (because the charger was attached). Then pressing the power button caused the device to start up. All my apps and saved settings were still intact.The display resolution is excellent. The battery life is phenomenal. The battery charges fast. Internal memory (2GB) is adequate to most needs. Not my needs, so I sometimes have to kill processes that Android automatically loads upon startup. Then I have enough memory. I emphasize that this is not typical for most users. (One of my favorite apps is a memory hog, but with good reason.) Internal storage is adequate (16GB). If you need more, you can add an additional memory card. I use an additional 128GB card. Anything else you’d like to know?

A HiddenGem

I was hesitant to buy but not any more..Don’t waste your money on an S3..or an IPad. got this for $241,37…what a bargain .the tablet is a hidden gem!… for the money is great! Bought it mainly for the S pen feature and it work flaw less, as good a my Surface 3 and Thinkpad Yoga it is responsive and the screen is very good and bright, took it outside in the sun and had no problem reading documents.

S pen sucks

I’ve only had it for 2 months and the S pen already broke! I spent a lot of money to have an S pen and now it’s useless because the rubber tip broke off and it’s too rough on the…

I simply use mine for video watching and streaming from services like Netflix and YouTube

I’m not the type of person to download a hundred apps or to play games on my tablets. I don’t even do work on them.

Like my old tablet

Heavy, hard to get apps for it. Like my old tablet better

there are better choices for the money

Although overall it is a decent tablet, there are better choices for the money. The only people who should buy this tablet are people who badly want the pen, and can’t afford any…
