so, my tablet has been fine for awhile but after a year apps started crashing constantly. i haven't installed anything or done anything that could cause this to happen and i cant fix it and its making me to be anxious and making me panic. seriously, i loved this tablet and now its basically unusable.

this is a review of the galaxy tab a 2019. it is the fourth galaxy tablet i have owned. unfortunately, i can't use it, so i gave to my wife and have continued using my tab a 2017. the problem is the screen. it has too much glare and the type is difficult to read. there is no blue light filter that i can find to make it easier t read, especially at night. on my 2017 model, i have set the blue light filter to turn on automatically each evening. i can't find a way to do that on this 2019 version. i gave the tablet 4 stars because i'm assuming it will have better performance than my 2017 model.

i am so happy with this tablet. it's fast, nice clear screen, good sound, it was pretty easy for me to set up. i'm 67 and not very tech savy but i managed. there may be a few things i missed, didn't understand or did wrong. idk i mainly use it for games and my craft video tutorials for now. i took one pic with the camera just to check it out. it was great. i think my next phone will also be a samsung galaxy.

perfect tablet to start off on. i wasn't sure if i would use one or not, so i wanted to get a basic tablet to find out. i use it more than my phone when i'm at home now, and will be upgrading to something bigger. my one complaint is the old micro usb charge port. i haven't had any issues with this one yet, but have never had anything where it hasnt eventually stopped making a good connection.

i was not in the market for a tablet. i was looking for s pens for my s21 ultra and for some reason an add from walmart popped up offering this for $30 in store only. needless to say, i bought 3 when they opened! this tablet doesn't have many bells or whistles, but it is the perfect complement to our samsung phones. it is a little heavy, but not it a bad way. more in that it feels very substantial and well built, which has been an issue with some tablets i've bought. the display isn't a qled with 144hz refresh, but it looks fantastic. battery is great. speed is great. overall, as long as you aren't looking for the bells and whistles on the galaxy tab 7, it's a great device for the money (even the msrp).

i have had the galaxy tab 4 7.0 for a few years and i like samsung products and just wanted a new tablet so i went with the tab a 8.0 and it is a very nice tablet. it was very easy to set up and it has a lot of room. i like this tab so much that i gave my computer away.

i bought this tablet a for light gaming, internet and streaming of netflix and hulu. this will be the 3rd time to write my review as my tablet keeps closing down. this is happening even though ive already sent it back once for repair the same problem and it took 10 days. i wish i'd never bought it. be smart and keep shopping. for a different brand. when i finish this review i guess i'll contact them once again about this piece of trash that they didn't fix.

i have owned several tab a 8 in and bought several for others. i bought this 2019 as an upgrade to 32 gigs. nothing is ever fast, i don't like the anything about it. doesn't update apps quickly. i'm still waiting for the same 5 to update and install since late night. i wish i had as good experience as with the other purchases.

well-built, sturdy and heavy, you can tell there's good stuff inside, no flim-flam filler! quick response, plenty of onboard memory + the microsd card. tablet updates easily during setup and apps install nicely, up and running in no time. make sure to buy the bluetooth keyboard case and screen protector.

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.

i've always preferred samsung products over apple. my only issue is how long it takes to charge. they samsung phones are capable of fast charging, why not the tablets?

having used only apple products forr more that 20 years, it was an easy learning curve. im 80 and so far no speed bumps! my daughter gave it as a gift with a tutor included, no need!

i purchased this tablet last year (2020) and am so happy with it. it works great for video chats and runs most games smooth thanks to the 3gb of memory (ram). like the dual dobly atmos speakers, headphone jack, and usb-c. the camera isn't the best, but is pretty good for a tablet in this price range. for improved features, i would recommend checking out the tab a7 or s6 lite. overall, a great budget tablet, especially for students!

boasts a large screen and it's one of it's great features for streaming videos. it's also easy on the eyes when reading online with the blue screen filter option. it's pretty reliable when it comes to running apps and videos, i've had only a little trouble when it came to streaming higher resolution videos where it would lag or become slightly choppy. when that happens you just need to press pause and let it sit for a minute for it to run smoothly. it's not suited for gaming. i like playing mobile games in my free time but i can't play any of the larger games on this tablet because of the low ram. i cam play casual games just fine but it's a little upsetting to not be able play games like fortnite or genshin on it.

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.

battery life lasts a good long time, boots up much more quickly, expanded memory is the way to go versus external storage on an sd card. i was able to easily transfer my info over to the new tablet.

I intended to buy the 64-GB version of this tablet when it went on sale during Amazon Prime Day, yet I'm glad I checked out Best Buy first because it sold the 128-GB version for the same price -- where I immediately bought it. I mainly use this tablet to listen to audiobooks, which I first started listening to on my Kindle Fire 8 until its app went haywire! (A software upgrade finally fixed that.) I also appreciate the fact that I can listen to Chirp audiobooks on this tablet, which are far less expensive, but Chirp doesn't let you save your audiobooks to your Micro SD card like Audible does. Although the movies on this tablet are gorgeous, this isn't a multimedia device like Samsung's more expensive tablets, so I'm perfectly happy listening to my books and podcasts on it instead. On rare occasions when I first boot up this tablet, it won't connect to my WiFi until I take the trouble to reboot it, and then it loads just fine. Yet let me emphasize that this rarely happens.

I've had several generations of Samsung tablets and I've liked all of them. I keep all of my games/social media stuff on the tablet so they're not on my phone. I miss having the home buttons because my fat fingers can't pull down that window and having the power cord connect at the bottom is a little inconvenient at times when charging it while trying to use it. Other than that, it's fast and effective!

great video for editing light video editing, streaming, light gaming, and social media use but for drawing it's too limited for professional use in any capacity.

to be honest, i am very disappointed at the sluggish performance of the 128g tablet. i have lesser specs that are a pleasure to use. i bought this because of it's memory, not thinking that sluggishness would ever be an issue . sorry, i can't recommend this to a friend.

i love my new tablet. i've been using it for a month or so and have no complaints. it's fast, sound is great and loud enough to hear over my grandson's toys. the picture is clear and the touchscreen is very responsive. the only thing i wish is that i could rotate it in all directions so i could use it easily while charging as some apps only work in one direction and the charging port ends up on the bottom on those apps. no big deal, though. it holds a charge for longer than other tablets i've owned, and it charges fast. i really love this tablet.
