Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7" 32GB WiFi Tablet - Black

2020-07-10T20:00:00

i've had my galaxy tab s3 for about 2 years now. for those interested in this tablet, i would highly suggest a different model that can offer the same features for much less or even buying the s3 at an extremely reduced price. it's essentially a glorified galaxy s7 with an s pen. i use my tablet lightly, for digital art and note-taking for work. i haven't installed very many apps or overly taxed the cpu since buying it. when i first began using the galaxy tab s3, i immediately ran into all sorts of issues from the s pen suddenly not working to the tablet freezing when starting up. the battery life quickly stopped living up to expectations, i almost always seem to find my tablet dead by the following morning. you can trust i've attempted a number of solutions to extend battery life.

I bought this a few weeks ago and love it. Big screen, stylus, and camera works great. Highly reccomend it.

Need to be more affordable when glass breaks. Too pricey for parts and labor.. Throw it away cause you can by a new one for couple bucks more. Or just go back to smaller samsung tablets.

Bought this for school and the only complaint I have is that had I known the Tab4 was being released 2 months later with Bixby on board I would have waited. This tab though is fast and easy to use.perfect for online classwork on the go

This tablet is wonderful! It has great speed and doesn't have me waiting for hours for anything to load. It is louder than the last one I had thanks to the four speakers. The picture and the camera on this tablet is also lovely. I love this tablet.

Early 2015 I purchased an S2 tablet from Barnes and Noble. The S2 sparked my love for Samsung products and and love has only been increased with the S3 that I bought used off of Amazon. My S3 tablet runs great and I have had little to no problems. I use my tablet every day (mainly with YouTube but also with other things such as reading and playing games. The battery life is excellent. I admit I was a little worried about the size going in but turns out the 9.7 inch screen is excellent. The tablet feels great in hand and the S Pen is absolutely wonderful.

I have been using this product extensively for one month now. I used it for taking notes, clicking pictures, web surfing, videos etc. I am happy with the overall performance but this product needs improvement in the following areas: a) Battery: It has been only month but I am charging this product every 3 hours now/ I am afraid that soon its battery will degrade more.

I bought this Tablet about 2 months before the Tab S4 came out so I do feel a bit shorted... But, this Tablet is great. So much faster and more organized than my old Tab S.

WiFi Networking is basicly broken. Fails to work right on 5G wifi connecting at high speed of 390 Mbps or greater. Wish I had sent it back. On top of that the graphics rendering is way to slow.

Only recognizes my fingerprint a fraction of the time. BIG ISSUE: only allows me to leave screen on ten minutes before it dims (or it will stay on if my eyeball is looking right at the camera). As an artist, I sit the device on the corner of my desk to look at a reference photo - and needed it for 8 hours a day in a week long class I recently took. With oil paint on my hands I had to remember to "touch" the screen before ten minutes elapsed or clean my hands and restart it. Other students in the class sure glad they chose IPADS. My teacher finally loaned me his IPAD. Too bad I had spent the $ for this device in advance of the class and it was useless to me. Wish I had bought an IPAD again. This is a silly, silly restriction on Samsung's part. I know when I want it left on, and know to leave it plugged in. Why can't Samsung fix this problem? Give more selections for how long to stay on -- or let me enter the time, or have a selection like other android devices to "never turn off". Come on Samsung, you're not competing with Apple IPAD with these kind of restrictions. Every Samsung customer rep I've talked to simply said "sadly there isn't the ability to do that". Sadly ???? How about escalate this up the chain so a programmer can modify this ... in probably 1 minute ?? I have to give very low scores on this device because if I give a high score on features/performance/design or anything -- then Samsung thinks everything is fine. It's not. Hard to appreciate the other positives of this device with this kind of glaring issue remaining unaddressed by Samsung.

I bought the S3 a month ago and realized that it was just a 9.7 inch Note 5. It is a nice electronic device, but then it is the same wine just served in a new bottle. I would have at least expected to have some kind of additional tech on a Tab released over 1.5 years after Note 5.

Great tablet and features. Good size for a tablet, not long, small or too big. S Pen pulls you to use it, because it's smooth. Sound is great all around. USB Type C is a plus. Haven't had any issues.

I knew the Tab 4 is going to be released soon, however when I read it did not have fingerprint reader and was going to rely on Iris, I decided to stay with older tech. I have been pleased in conjunction with the keyboard cover.

This is a very nice tablet. It has everything I need and several things that I do not. It's very sturdy and lightweight. I do enjoy using it.

I bought this for school so so I complete my work while at work. It's small enough to not take up unwanted space yet the screen is big enough for me to see what I'm doing with ease. I only wish I ordered the keyboard!

Great look, light weight, perfect screen. Super fast and battery life is amazing. The functionality of the S Pen is something that is truly immersive, not just a bell and whistle. The "unboxing" experience was amazing as well. Do not pass up on this, do not known how Samsung can top this tablet but I've been saying that for years and they have always proved me wrong.

Warranty expired April 30, 2018. Unit expired June 21, 2018. Totally died. Will not charge or respond to any combination of long-press of power-vol up-vol down buttons. Died in the middle of simple Google search and has not been heard from since. Long time loyal Samsung customer, but no longer. NOT happy.

I am so glad I bought this. I debated for quite awhile then decided to go for it. I love it. I can do so many things with it that my laptop can do but without having to go to the laptop. I am still learning all the things I can do with it. Not at all sorry I made bought it.

The S3 is a beautiful tablet. It is fast and the display is amazing. The only down side to it.. it is hard to hold on to!

I bought this device to replace a Galaxy Tab S 10.5. So far, I have had numerous issues and I am still trying to figure out of the device is defective or it is simply a problem with Android 7 and third party Apps. I primarily use this device is to download movies and TV shows for off-line viewing. With Amazon Prime Video, I downloaded many shows to the SD card. Then Prime Video reported that I did not have an SD card installed and I could not access the downloaded content. While Prime Video continued to report "No SD card installed", I could see the SD card with the My Files application from Samsung. Plus, I could see the Amazon content that Prime Video could not. Vudu will intermittently report "No Internet Connection" and stop downloading. At the same time, other Apps are using the Internet connection. After many retries, Vudu will eventually complete the download only to automatically delete it and start over. Google Play Movie & TV will also stop downloading due to "No Internet Connection" while I am surfing the web with Chrome. Very frustrating.

The tablet screen froze 3x in two days and my only remedy was to reset to factory specs. I returned it. Lemon.

I've own several Android tablets as well as iPads and, dollar-for-dollar, the Tab S3 is the best one I've had. The features that make this table a great value for me are: - S-Pen - Expandable Memory - Excellent Screen - Excellent Sound Quality with Quad Speakers The items that I would like to see improved: - Upgrade to latest Android OS ( 7 is good but 8 is better! - Increase RAM from 4GB to 6GB Overall, the design is sleek and sexy, performance is very good, S-Pen is excellent and it's a good value for the price (compare to similar iPad models).

I got this Pad to replace my ASUS Pad that crashed on me but came back to life as I wuz sending it off to Warranty folks. It was a Good Pad, but this Sammy Pad is SOOOO MUCH BETTER that the ASUS one. Now don't get me wrong, I loved that ASUS Pad and I would prob still have it were it not for the dying process it took. Okay Now the Review. This Pad has just about everything you might want is as far as choices on taking Pics and storage of said Pics. Using a Card for additional Memory was so simple and very easy to install, put into service and use. I mean the ease you can direct various items you might want to keep to the Card VS others, even Sammy Phones, it's just a fresh breath of simplicity. Setting up various functions of the Pad for the very first time was simple as well. It didn't require lots of hunting and making wild choices for the Set Up everything was presented in easy formats with clear selection/choices given each time. Did I mention it was FAST in operation. Especially in Wi-Fi, it's Quick and simple. Charging the Pad at the end of the day is easy and is done in what seems record time. I could just go on and on about the pad but I tell you what ..... Just go to your Fav Sammy Dealer, Pick one out for you and tell them that "POP Sent me ...!!" , I know you'll be glad you did ! - Pop in Texas

I do love the tablet a lot but only a few things I have issues with. The finger print scanner doesn't always work. The thing I am disappointed about the most is when using notes on my tablet and sync it to my samsung account, I can see it on my Note 8 but if I edit things on my note8 and sync it, the tablet is unable to edit my notes. it would be nice if I can go back and forth with my tab s3 and my note 8. I minor thing with the tab s3 notes is on my note8 it has a feature to put a grid so i can graph but on my tab s3 it does not have it. side note, I am a lefty and I notice the the s pen is meant for right handed. When I write the point is always off slightly to the left but when it comes to right hand it is always on point. would be nice to have a feature to switch which had a user uses. Good things about the tab s3 is the screen, built in speakers and performance. I use it almost everyday. if the things writen above was fix then it would of been perfect. Had the tablet for a while now and havent gotten an update of the software which is worrisome. I would like the latest updates on software. still on android 7 and android 8 has been out for a while and android P is already being talked about.
