SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A8 10.5” 32GB Android Tablet w/ LCD Screen, Long Lasting Battery, Kids Content, Smart Switch, Expandable Memory, US Version, Silver, Amazon Exclusive

It takes a long time to power on and the device software crashed sometimes.

Apps take an eternity of loading screens, even after removing most of samsungs default garbage apps (look up universal android debloater if you want to find out how to do this yourself). Theres also a noticeable delay between swiping and the input being registered, if the tablet is doing anything except idling. Definitely not my favorite computing experience.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son. Only 3 months in and the screen is already malfunctioning. Samsung products have went downhill fast.

I had high hopes for this tablet, switching from a Kindle Fire which wouldnt run some apps I wanted. However, after a few months Ive decided Im disappointed. First, I just recently tried to pair two different sets and brands of bluetooth earbuds. In both cases I experienced the same issue: sound only came through one earbud and somewhat erratically, not always the same side. The earbuds work fine when paired with other devices (like my old Fire or a laptop), so its not the earbuds. In any case I tried all the troubleshooting, repairing, etc. recommended for the earbuds. So there is something off in the bluetooth audio function in the tablet. Secondly, I regularly get a reading of less than 100% charge (something in the 90s) after many hours of charging. Checking on this issue, I did a complete battery drain to reset the meter, but after a couple charges it went back to not reaching 100% again. I also miss from the Fire a simple bluescreen filter toggle for reading before bed. The Samsung has a night brightness reduction but with set times which cant even be changed. There dont seem to be a lot of quality tablet options in this price range, so Im really sad this hasnt worked out so well. The Fire did better in all the areas mentioned here for far less money. I would buy a new Fire if its Android implementation wasnt hamstrung. So I guess Im stuck.

Its just missing the private mode that used to be in the older one.

Easy to use

Buena y bonita

I purchased a new Samsung tab 8. This is my 2nd tablet. The 1st thing I noticed is the picture is terrible, the colors are not accurate. The sound is very tinny. The tablet is quite heavy too. The tablet has done 3 updates in 24 hours and is now stuck on the screen pictured above. I can power it on/down but thats all I can do. Its going back. It feels like this tablet is not brand new. While I was playing a game today the game closed suddenly. This is the 2nd time in 24 hours. There is no support if you buy your tablet from Amazon. I am heading to Costco next, they offer product support. Dont waste your money buying electronics on Amazon unless they are simplistic and you absolutely know you need no support. I have learned my lesson. I hope this helps.

This is a tablet to replace an old Kindle and I love it. Easy to use as it mirrors my Samsung phone. Screen is bright and clear.

First tablet Ive owned, so nothing to compare it to. It seems grat, once I figure out all the features. Was easy to set up
