Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5” 32GB Android Tablet, LCD Screen, Kids Content, Smart Switch, Expandable Memory, Long Lasting Battery, Fast Charging, US Version, 2022, Pink Gold

After several years of owning various Amazon tablets, I wanted to try something different. I was looking to get away from the "Amazon centric" ads, promotions and so on. I also was hoping to link my tablet to my PC, so that I could do more remotely. I did a good amount of research and decided upon this Samsung tablet. I have a Samsung cell phone, so I thought I would like the added convenience of linking that as well. I was very happy with the slightly larger screen compared to my Fire 10 tab, I liked that it was thinner and felt comfortable to hold. Upon receiving it, I followed the instructions and linked my phone to it. Basically, I wound up with a larger version of my cell screen and a download of the compatible apps. Unfortunately, my carrier doesn't provide service for a tablet, so I didn't have that available. I also didn't really want my tablet to mirror my cell phone. So, I returned to factory settings and started over, backing up the info before I did the reset. I started over, but found as soon as I tried to restore the apps and info I'd backed up, it reset my phone to reflect the tablet. Also, not what I wanted. I then tried to link it to my PC, which also did not work. Now, to be honest, I'm not a techie so this may be all my fault. However, not to be discouraged (I really wanted this tablet to work for me!) I did another factory reset, this time bypassing the restoration of any previously installed info or apps. After reloading apps from the Play Store, I thought I was ready to sail along smoothly with my brand new tablet. Not so fast! The internet response was sluggish, the screen was ultra sensitive, the battery took longer (than my Fire 10) to charge and seemed to run out quicker. I found it more difficult to use my Prime membership, with more steps needed to purchase books, watch movies and just get to my account. I think the Fire tablets spoil you in the ease of accessing everything Amazon. So, I sent this tablet back. And, because my husband (who never wanted anything to do with a tablet) discovered how much nicer it was using my old tablet to play solitaire and watch videos, instead of this cell phone, I am ordering a new Fire 10 for myself! This is one person's opinion, and I'm not saying the Samsung Galaxy A8 is a bad tablet, but if you've been using Fire tablets for any length of time you may want to stick to that brand. Otherwise, I am sure this tablet is fine for people not wanting the Amazon link-ins, like the slightly larger and thinner screen, and the advantages of using the Google Play Store. Additionally, my cell phone and PC are on the older side, as technology goes, so with a newer PC, cell phone and different cell service- you may be able to have success where I failed!

I use the Galaxy Tab A8 on stage and rehearsals for reference for songs (chords, sheet music, lyrics, etc). It can do more, but I'm not trying to push this to it's limits for what I need the screen to be on all the time for shows...although I will use it as a sleep/white noise machine for sleep on occasion (wish YT allowed for screen off but maintained audio, but that's TY for ya)... It is what I was expecting.. a very good quality and performance for a mid ranged tablet. I would've gone with a smaller footprint tablet, but those were underpowered, and the screen was a lot worse that this. It's not trash, but I'd be paying Tab S8 money for a larger screen...I'm not looking to add weight to a mic stand mount to have it tip over, so this fit the bill. Screen - as I mentioned, the screen is not trash. Looks rather smooth considering. Could be better in the brightness department as well, but this is because of the type of display that's used. Think older LED tv's to a 2K computer monitor. It's slight, but noticeable. I compared this to a mentioned S8. This is what you're paying for that (amongst other things). I'm okay with this compared to the price vs the S8. Like I also mentioned before, I would've gone for the smaller footprint, but trade off is a slightly worse screen for it's size, and the weight and performance (the 64bg and 128gb variant has 4G RAM, compared to the 32gb storage variant having only 3gb RAM). Weight - compared to the S8, this wins the weight ratio to size for lighter tablet (even with a spigen lightweight case on this thing). Performance - This is where the added RAM is helpful. My lead guitarist has this same tablet in the 32gb version, and the added ram is a super helpful when opening the PDFs for songs and lyrics while having the setlist up on the other half of the tablet for the split screen. Especially when leaving the screen timeout to never and having the brightness down enough to not be bothersome on stage to anyone else. It was a bit snappier when I compared it to a head to head test between the 2 (I adjusted the screen animations in Developer Options). It brought up several PDF's up a tad bit faster, but you can definitely make due with the 32gb, but I'd rather have that room for the PDF's and probably songs I've downloaded for reference on a 512gb microSD card and allow for the performance on the tablet not be bogged down by the tablet being full of files. I've also used this as a touchscreen mouse pad for a laptop connected to my TV as a HTPC via Bluetooth. I prefer a keyboard and trackball for this, but in a pinch, this using an app helps. No lag or problems. Speakers - I do use this as a sleep machine when I need it, and it does help me. It's loud, bordering on annoying in a bedroom. But I've had no issues with the audio on it using as a browser, multimedia device, and using headphones (wired or wireless, via the headphone jack, Bluetooth, or dongle). Also I've adjusted some things in Dev Options for this as well...so no issues. There's not a whole lot to say for this for what I use it for...It has worked flawlessly, so there are no regrets. This is a great little device.

My husband bought me this tablet for Christmas, and I ended up liking it so much that I bought him one too! Let me start by saying I use this for general activities (Netflix, check email, playing games, upload/store photos, etc). It has worked wonderfully for me. It is a sleek thin design, functions well and quickly, doesn't have issues loading videos or using Netflix, and it's a good price compared to other tablets on the market. I see some negative reviews related to it's function, but I personally have not had any issues... maybe I am not expecting too much from a tiny tablet or maybe I don't overuse mine, but it has worked as well as any other tablet for me. Screen quality is great in my opinion, although I have also seen some reviewers complain (again, maybe I just have lower expectations. who knows?). Overall, if you have realistic expectations of tablets, this is an excellent purchase and I highly recommend. If you are looking for a tablet to work as flawlessly as a $1,000 PC, maybe lower your expectations or perhaps buy a PC. Anyway, I hope you found this review helpful!

I received this tablet a little more than a week ago. I have had many of the Amazon "k" tablet for many years and we're very happy with them. I wanted a tablet for vacation that had access to Google because the apps needed for the vacation events are not available on the Amazon software. I have always had the Galaxy phones so it made sense to me to purchase a Galaxy tablet. The set up was easy. The display resolution is good and the touch screen is responsive. That being said, I am a bit disappointed in how there seems to be a lag in launching apps and waking this tablet up. Once apps are open, the tablet performs nicely. In retrospect, I should have bought the latest version of the Galaxy tablet but the price was right and for what my needs are, it will be fine. If you're looking for a tablet for everyday use, I recommend going with the latest version instead of the A8.

I purchased this tablet since, my tablet I had just purchased a week ago getting dropped and the screen shattering. My previous tab was only 1 week old, but since it was going to cost about the same price to fix than I bought it for it wasn't worth it. So, I decided to 'upgrade' when I saw this Samsung. I honestly thought this tab had wifi and cellular, but I found out that wasn't the case 😔 and was pretty disappointed. I was planning to return it until I realized that it syncs up to my Samsung cellphone seemlessly including its cellular data. Once I found that out and found that it was like it had it's own cellular capabilities, I decided to keep it. I love that I can talk/text/ browse the web, along with anything else my phone can do plus more. It also syncs up perfectly with the wireless keyboard and mouse I got with my previous tablet. I purchased the 32gb tablet and put my 128gb micro SD card in it and now have plenty of storage for what I use it for. I would definitely buy another one especially since we all have Samsung cellphones in my household. My only gripe is it should be in the description that it's not cellular capable, especially since it shows up when you search for cellular+wifi capable tabs. It also has a great battery life! It lasts all day on a single charge. Great tablet for the price.

If you're looking for a good gaming tablet with little to no fuss and happiness, ignore the year this thing came out. It's still top notch! We've only had this about a month. I'll need to update this review down the line, but I wanted to get the basic review up for anyone looking like I was. Hubby plays one game. ONE. He plays an MMO game with RTS that is persistent, meaning it continues even when he isn't logged in. Lags are literally deadly to his account. I hate reviews that say "I play games" but don't tell you if the game is an MMO or freaking Wordle/Solitaire, so I'm making it clear. All that said, his eyesight isn't the greatest, and he needed a size-up from his phone. He decided this was what he wanted. He ADORES it! Great picture quality, fantastic battery life, no lag to speak of that isn't from the game server itself, gorgeous sound that will terrify your other half if you forget you had it turned up and randomly start playing something at 2am while laying next to them! It has an extra memory slot, but as he is only playing the one game for now, I haven't installed the card I bought for it, so I can't speak to that as yet. The only complaint I have is that his game field doesn't expand when turning the tablet to landscape. It stays the same size it would be on his phone. When playing the game on the PC, the field is enlarged. On this tablet, you don't get that. Whatever Google has set up for a mobile game is what you'll see. However, it'll still be larger and easier to see because the tablet is larger than your phone, so there is that! I hope this helps you decide!

I bought this tablet but didn't use it alot. More so on trips etc. Our 4 yr old grandson and daughter stayed with us for about 6 months. My grandson is almost non verbal and autistic. We had a case on it that he didnt like so it came off. I figured the tablet would be done for. He used the tablet non stop, every day...dropped it several times, few scratches on the screen but still works like new. He even figured out video calling on his own and that was fun. The operating system is fast. No lags that i noticed. Has a clear picture and holds a charge very well. For the price paid it was well worth it. Samsung makes a great product.

I've had since 2024. Have had no problems. Batter life is still good. It has hit the deck a few times but there was no damage. I do have a case for it. Touch screen is very responsive maybe a little too sensitive, but that's me "big fingers" It is great for travel.

جيد و ومناسب للاطفال و البطارية ما تدوم كثير مثل الابل لكن جيدجدا
