Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8"; 16 GB Wifi Tablet (White) SM-T350NZWAXAR

Picked up this tablet recently when the price dipped one evening to about $130 for use as a FPV and telemetry display for flying my Solo quads. I had been using my Samsung phone, but I wanted a bigger image to help compensate for slightly over 30 eyes. The 8" size is perfect, although a tad heavy and about the max that fits in the controller mount. I had initially tried an older 8" Lenovo tablet that I already had, but it was incompatible with the app I need to run. The Tab A is one of the tablets tested to be fully compatible with the app, so I figured I'd just buy one, especially given the price, even though the technology is getting a little dated. Interestingly, when I'm not out flying, I find myself using this tablet more and more for email, reading the news over coffee in the morning (not CNN or MSNBC fake news!), web searches, Amazon shopping, etc. It's plenty fast enough for these purposes, the display is sufficiently bright and pleasant to look at, and the battery holds up well for many hours. It also comes with very usable Microsoft Office apps, although I've so far only found the need to use Word or Excel a couple of times. The only negative as a FPV display is that the image could be a tad brighter for outdoor use. But with a sun shade or by standing under a tree to get out of the direct sun, it works pretty well to see where you're flying and to keep track of down-range distance, altitude, flight battery charge state, etc. For the price paid, this is a really nice tablet in a size that's perfect for me. Oh yeah, one nice surprise I wasn't expecting: shortly after I started using it, the operating system updated to Android 7!

I have been using this tablet pretty heavily since I got it about 4 months ago. I am a college student as well as an entrepreneur, and I use this device for school work, working on my online store, and for some apps and games that are just entertainment. pro's and con's below: Pros: - The major selling point for me was microsoft office. To be able to use word and excel while away from my house without my lugging around my laptop is a pretty big deal for me. I got a keyboard case to go with it of course, but that isn't relevant to this review -It is fast, I can run multiple apps all day long with no problems at all. searching the web, making documents, playing games are all flawlessly quick. -Battery life, Did I mention I use this all day? No problems with the battery so far. I just make sure I charge it every night and there are no problems all day long. on the off chance I do forget I plug it in while I am doing something else and it charges reasonably quickly. -Look and feel. This is a pretty decently built device. It doesn't look or feel cheap. Also the size (8 inch) is perfect. -Screen clarity and resolution. The screen resolution is the one complaint I have seen on here, but I honestly don't know why. It looks good, and for all of the things I use it for, it is perfect. Sure this isn't an ultra high definition screen, but so what? To each their own I suppose. Con's -If I think of any, or anything changes I will edit this review. As of now, literally no complaints.

I got this as a gift when my old Tab 3 died on me, and I'm happy that I did. The larger sized screen on this one (8 as opposed to my old one being 7) makes typing a lot easier. The screen is also very crisp and clear and I have no problem with the resolution as other reviewers complained about. Pros: Beautiful, clear screen The colors on everything are nice Apps load and run quickly and play perfectly The speeds of things (for the most part, see my 'cons' list) are really fast The split screen feature seems nice, but I only used it once and I don't need it really The tablet itself is pretty lightweight and comfortable The rear camera is REALLY nice, the auto-focus is great, and it takes very clear nice photos in the daytime. Nighttime photos varies depending on the amount of lighting Cons: Browser & Youtube speeds - I find that Chrome crawls and loads pages slowly, even mobile versions. Often I wait quite a long time for something to load on a page, or the youtube app will show the spinning wheel for quite some time. I didn't have this issue with the older Tab 3 with browsing, but I did with Youtube so perhaps it's an issue with Youtube's app? Either way, browser speeds were sluggish. Fingerprints show up BIG TIME on the glass. The first time I used it and put it down I could see every detail of where my fingers had been. The front facing camera is awful in every lighting. I found myself trying to awkwardly take pictures with the back camera instead of the front because the front one is just bad. I'm also really not feeling the facial beauty thing it does on self photos and I haven't found a way to turn it off yet. It also doesn't appear to have the auto focus the rear camera does.

Before I begin you should know we have only had this for a day so far. BUT I LOVE IT! This was actually bought for my son (I use it also). We originally bought a kids Amazon fire and that was a huge disappointment. I didn't want to pay the amount of money they asked for an iPad so I asked multiple people and did tons of research and everything pointed to this tablet! It took me a little while to figure out since I have never owned any Samsung products, but I'm talking 10 minutes at most. It's still set up very similarly to Apple products. This tablet runs great, super fast, which was the main problem with the fire. This one also offers everything I was looking for. Most parents want the "kids time" stuff with apps for their kids, which I believe there is an app for that on here, but I didn't. I wanted to download netflix, kids YouTube, learning apps, Disney jr, etc. That way my son could choose between what he wanted to do easily. The apps that came on here like chrome and mail and such I just moved 4 pages over and he has no idea they are there! I have my apps over there also ;) The other great thing about this tablet is the battery life! It doesn't take long to charge and the battery actually lasts! I'm extremely impressed with this tablet, it is definitely worth the money! I 100% recommend this for a child or adult!

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A 8-INCH TABLET I am very late getting into the world of tablets and such, but for Mother's Day my husband purchased this tablet for me. I love playing the game WORDS WITH FRIENDS. I was playing through my computer, through FACEBOOK. The game moved so slowly, pop-up commercials were a constant, the board would freeze, and all of this would cut into my game production time. Plus, it was very frustrating to sit and wait while a letter slowly went from the bottom of the board to where I wanted to place it! And, really, I have ZERO patience! My husband got me this SAMSUNG tablet and I could not be happier with it. I am able to be on FACEBOOK, play WORDS WITH FRIENDS, check my email, play other games, plus there are many other features that I have yet to dive into. The tablet fits nicely in my hands. It also comes with a stylus. There is also a charger included The tablet charges quickly and holds the charge for my entire day. We purchased a screen protector and cover separately for my tablet. It is sleek and cool and wonderful. I am a technology challenged person, but seem to be able to muddle through this tablet and its many functions nicely. I can honestly highly recommend this unit to you. Me? I LOVE mine!

About a year ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy 7 tablet for my son as a Christmas gift, but never had a lot of interest in buying one for myself, seeing I owned a Kindle Fire. Even though he is disabled, my son loves his tablet and takes it most everywhere with him. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 cell phone, but it is a work phone and I am not allowed to load apps or anything to it. Love the phone but not being able to do anything non-work related with it is frustrating. So between my son's tablet and my phone, I have always been impressed with Samsung mobile type products. A friend has a Samsung tablet and suggested I might find it easier to use and more beneficial than my Kindle. I had always found the Kindle to be difficult to use except as a reader and for audible books and I have had it for several years now. So I figured I would give a tablet a try and this Samsung seemed to fit the bill. I am very impressed with it and now do everything I use to do with the Kindle plus a lot more. Accessing email, using apps, shopping on Amazon, plus syncing it with my Kindle and Audible books, is a lot better than my Kindle. So the Kindle will gather dust or I will give it to a friend. BTW - I don't get the cheap looking comments on this tablet. Not so in my opinion and I have a nice case for it, so not sure what folks are referring to in that regard. Very nice tablet for this first time tablet owner.

I have been an Apple iPad purist for years. When I recently gave my mother my iPad Mini (she is having some issues with her vision and it's easier for her to use for certain apps than her phone), I thought I'd be content with just having my Pro 9.7. However, I like to read in bed, and the larger iPad really doesn't work well for that. I considered a Kindle Paperwhite, but since the Paperwhite doesn't reverse to a black field with white text I didn't want to use that and needed something for which I could use the Kindle app. I decided to try an Android tablet, which would be significantly less expensive than a new Mini 4. Plus, I'd been wanting to get experience with Android because I have friends who have Android phones who are always asking me questions about them for which I have no answer. After doing a bit of research, I decided on the Galaxy Tab A 8-inch, which was almost exactly the same size as the Mini. Several local stores had good sales but nobody ... and I mean NOBODY ... had one in stock. They had plenty of the 7" tablets but with the smaller size and only 8GB of memory, even with the SD expansion slot, I wasn't interested. So I ordered it here. I am very pleased with this device. It was easy to set up and it's been responsive and intuitive to use. The size and form factor are nearly identical to my old Mini. If anything I like the Kindle app better on the Android than on the iPad -- not the least of which is because you can buy Kindle books directly from the Android app and not from the Apple one (has to do with Apple demanding 30% of all sales on the iPad, which includes Kindle books. Can't say I blame Amazon for not wanting part of that "deal"). I only have one minor complaint and not a large enough one to warrant a loss of a star -- you can't turn down the ambient light on the Galaxy as far as you can with the Mini. This only becomes an issue because I tend to stay up later than my husband so when I am reading he is trying to sleep, and it seems like I can't get the screen as dark as my Mini could go. Curiously, he says the ambient light it throws seems to be less overall and it doesn't bother him at all. Maybe it projects less overall but it seems brighter to me.

Works great! for about a 100$ it does what I needed it to and is the perfect size to fit in my purse. So far Ive owned 3/4 different tablets: a small "phablet", this one (8"), a 10" nexus, and the surface pro 4. Of the 4 tablets, I like this size the best. The phablet I found was too big and awkward to comfortably fit in my pockets, but small enough that reading books or watching tv was a bit uncomfortable on the eyes. By contrast the 10" nexus and surface pro 4 (which I use for work primarily) are to large to fit in my mid size purses. This size can fit in nearly every one of my bags ( the only exception being my small clutches and evening bags). It works quickly, and I havent had any issues with it overheating. It is a bit of a slow charger, and if your are using the tablet with the screen on full brightness, it will drain the battery faster then it will charge. I did find however, that so long as you have the brightness set to the lowest level, it will (slowly) charge at a rate of about 1% increase per 10 minutes. In normal conditions, if I am not charging and using simultaneously, it takes a couple hours to fully charge. The blue smoke color is beautiful. I bought a cheap (like 6$) case for my tablet to protect since it does get tossed about in my purse.

Como la describen, es una Tableta excelente, no se traba, buen tamaño delgada y ligera. buena definición de pantalla. Lenta para cargarse pero la batería es duradera. Es una buena compra la recomiendo.

Good for what you pay. Awesome.

Loving it. Used a blackberry playbook for years, when aps, updates and support died off, I bought an inexpensive android tablet to see if I'd like the android world. Android was ok, but my experimental tablet was slow and limited (I knew that going in $50 doesn't get you great technology). When ready to commit, I researched andchose galaxy tab A. Not disappointed. Battery life is great, screen size and resolution are exactly what I wanted. Perfectly portable, easy to handle and does everything I need it to do.

A casi un año de haberla comprado y darle uso, esta tableta a pesar de sus especificaciones, en cuanto a la calidad de pantalla, que no es tan buena como se espera, es pasable. Ahora en cuanto su funcionalidad y su fluidez, para el precio-calidad, es un excelente producto en ese sentido, si lo que se desea es tener un dispositivo con el cual navegar y más que nada como agenda, es la mejor opción, además si eres amante de los productos de Samsung, seguro te gustara esta tableta. Ampliamente recomendable para la escuela o para el trabajo, incluso si lo que deseas entretenimiento, es muy buena opción.

Excelente producto para el precio. Superó mis expectativas. El envío fue muy rápido para venir de otro país. Me gusta mucho y confió en Amazon. Siempr compró aqui
