HOW GOOD IS THE GALAXY TAB A 9.7?
If you are using this tablet as an e-reader or for surfing the web, it is excellent. If you are using it to view a lot of movies, not so good. This in due mainly to the lower screen resolution, which doesn't seem to be a problem for reading. Also because of its screen aspect ratio, it has a tendency to crop the tops off of newer movies, but not so much off of TV shows. I previously used a Tab 2 7.0, so that is what I am comparing the Tab A 9.7 to. With a faster quad processor, 2 GB RAM, and a larger internal memory card (16 or 32 GB), as well as an external mmemory card (up to 128 GB) should make a positive attribute for purchasing this device. It pretty much does what you want it to, at a price that is affordable. One of the more important features is the long battery life. It consumes less power then my Tab 2 and has a 6000 ma battery (Compared to a 4000 ma). I ran it 7 hours straight using wi-fi, and the battery only went from 100% down to 63%. Also, with the extra RAM and memory, it is alot funner and easier to use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Died after 8 months
I'd like to give this table a nice glowing review but my experience has not been so favorable. First off it's a great tablet for as long as it lasts. Mine died suddenly without warning after about 8 months use. Can't reset, won't boot and there were no signs of anything going wrong beforehand. Battery is fine, tablet itself is defective. Still awaiting an answer from the Ebay seller as to whether they will honor their warranty. If not then this is 200 bucks down the toilet. Just a warning to others to keep in mind!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great value and the quality you expect from Samsung & Android
This is a pretty good tablet for the price. It is not a top of the line model, but has all the features I want. The screen quality/picture is decent and works very well for basic functions. There is a it of distortion on fast paced videos, but nothing too major. I would definitely suggest maxing out the memory with a 128gb SD card as the 32gb internal storage goes quickly. Overall, this is an excellent tablet if you are looking for a quality, reasonably priced option.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

On it right now 😊
I am not a tech-nerd, just want easy usability, which thiis has in spades. It got me happily through a very long wait for and rehab after hip replacement! Love the eazy-peezy connectivity interface to screen-share with my Samsung SmartTV. Has tons of features I'll never use, but which should satisfy most users. Good charge life, and excellent power-saving options to extend that longer. Great multi-position cover/stand. I use an eye-glasses cloth to wipe it. Still as clear as new; not a scratch! Excellent quality. Some issues with some apps not yet configured to this device, but I have a desktop if that product is mandatory. Especially at what I paid for it, I feel I did VERY well choosing this wonderful Tablet! Delighted. .Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very happy with this tablet
I was worried about getting this tablet because I saw reviews that said its screen didn't show very well. (Note I have this same tablet in 8 inches and loved it but because I watch a lot of shows the smaller tablet didn't work as well.) So I got this tablet with some reservation and loved it! It has all the features of the 8 inch and although some reviews say the screen isn't wonderful I didn't have any problems with in. (Keep in mind I mostly use it for watching shows and television on the go.) I have used this so much. I would say if you generally like samsung products you can't go wrong with this one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great upgrade for me
I had an older Nook HD+ that was needing to be replaced. After much research I chose the Galaxy Tab A. I love it. The screen had a very clear image and the size is perfect. A little bigger than my Nook HD+ but weighs less. It's processing speed is faster, too. I added a tempered glass screen protector, plus a case and I have no worried about scratches. Will recommend it to friends.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice alternative to iPad
My aging iPad started getting buggy and I was looking for an Apple alternative. Pros - cheaper, works like my Android, can add memory, has very decent battery life, has microsoft office programs, and is very responsive. Cons - speaker stinks, does not have an up button so if you are scrolling down you cannot pop up to the top, picture is just ok, and the 9.7" is smaller than the regular ipad (personal preference). Overall, I am happy I got it. It's is definitely a lot of bang for your buck, but look forward to someday having a tablet with all the bells and whistles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very good value
Have used it for a week and it looks like great value for most basic tasks. Good battery life. Performance and display are decent - don't expect top-quality displays at this price range. One annoyance is that the touch keys at the bottom (Back and Recent Apps) cannot be lighted up.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great First Tablet
This is my first tablet. It does everything I am looking for, and it is a very good value! I no longer have to carry around a 7.5 lb laptop on my trips. I could not be happier! Screen is not the highest rated among tablets, but it definitely more than meets my needs and expectations! Processor is fast. It came with the Lollipop OS, but during the second set of updates, it updated itself to Marshmallow OS.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Refurbished
