I got the product for my grandmother, but even for my own use, it was flawless. It developed a problem on the screen after several months and unfortunately needed repair, but despite that, I believe I got lucky. It was worth buying.
The complexity of android surpasses me. Initially, the same applications from Samsung, Google, and Microsoft exist, and for someone theoretically unrelated like me, it makes managing storage space impossible.
E.g.1 I notice that my photos are stored in Samsung Gallery with backup on OneDrive, but also in Google Photos with the corresponding Google Drive.
E.g.2 I bought a micro SDCard for additional storage space and it cannot be recognized as a whole, so I follow Samsung's instructions and it does not appear as an option (I have to manually choose where to save it).
For internet use, music, and reading, it is quite good. I haven't tried it for movies yet, but I'm not afraid to. It operates quickly. The screen is not bad, but you feel that it "suffers" somehow, it doesn't reach the quality of more expensive tablets, but it doesn't bother me for the use I bought it for. The battery takes a while to charge, but it lasts quite a long time. It looks and feels very high quality in the hand, but also quite heavy.
So I got it for free with a pass that Koulias gave to the students. Good for YouTube and light games (saga, etc). Personally, I use it to write my assignments and it performs marginally, but it freezes a lot, especially when I have multiple programs open. However, this is expected since it has 3GB of memory. I don't know if it would be worth the 170+ euros it costs.
I bought it to "get rid of" applications from my smartphone and free up memory. It works perfectly and especially for its price, it does what it needs to do. It's not for crazy demands, but its performance is exceptional. I am very satisfied. I already had experience with the A7 which also left me satisfied. It runs programs quickly, doesn't freeze, Netflix & internet are quite fast, and the sound is satisfactory.
Very good purchase, I use it daily for videos and interactive activities, the battery lasts quite a long time. It was worth it for the use I wanted it for
It was clearly purchased as an easy solution to watch videos on YouTube and movies on a larger screen than my smartphone without having to carry my laptop everywhere. In that aspect, it works great. You can play the video, and I am quite satisfied with the screen, sound, and the fact that it takes a micro SD card, so it has already met my needs. However, it freezes incredibly without having anything open. It only does this when I pick it up to start using it as if nothing happened, as if it needs to warm up a bit to perform. I don't deal with cameras, and I don't intend to use the tablet for such purposes, so I can't give an opinion on that. Anyway, for the money I spent and the job it does for me, I am satisfied. Now, I hope I helped anyone considering this purchase.
I got it exclusively for reading. So it covered me 100%. Some nights I also watch series on Netflix with headphones. It's pretty good. I have no opinion on other uses. However, for its price, it is decent. I should add that I am a Samsung fan. Meaning, compared to an iPad, it may fall behind, but still at this price, it is a very good choice.
It's very good, except for the weight. I can't hold it in my hand for too long, my wrist hurts. On a table, everything is fine. When I close it and then open it, it takes a long time to start up!
Very good tablet. I've had it for 7 months. I've fallen in love with it. It has a very good image, sound, takes very good photos and videos. And it has a better screen size than my previous Lenovo. Perhaps the best tablet I've had so far.
We haven't had it for long, but so far I am absolutely satisfied! It responds quickly and has a nice large screen. For the simple use we give it (YouTube, games), it is very good for its price. As for durability, like all devices, it is good to protect them with a case to be more sure. I recommend it!
I come back 1 year later to confirm my initial assessment!
I bought it for professional use (gps) and it is a good value for money. I made a mistake and bought it without a sim card, so sometimes the gps gets stuck because I give it a hot spot from my phone. Just mentioning this because I read some comments about it. The sound is excellent and the resolution is good/comfortable to watch on some platforms. That's all for its use.
I wonder about some comments regarding this specific tablet, which is fantastic for the money it offers, except some people think that with 200 euros they will have the features of a 500 euro tablet.
Basically, I use it for Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, music, and for a game, and it works perfectly with a sim card for data.
I'm coming back because today I tested it as a GPS with a sim card and of course, it never lost signal, and it was very fast.
Of course, I'm talking about Cosmote sim.
Also, the speakers while watching a movie on Netflix were moments when I thought the sound was coming from a home cinema.
Of course, I want to emphasize and tell you that I have the one with 64 gb and I have also added a memory card to install some applications there.
Also, I want to tell you that I uninstalled some of the pre-installed applications on the tablet because they are not needed, which saves space and makes it faster.
I'm coming back with an observation... when I watch Netflix and press pause, then when I return and the screen is locked, I open it but the video doesn't play, it's frozen... I mention it to those who happen to completely exit the app and then re-enter because as known, it resumes from where we left off.
I'm coming back after about 3 months... everything is fine except that sometimes when I plug in the charger, it doesn't charge. After various experiments, I discovered that after a restart, when it doesn't charge, everything is fixed and it charges normally.
On September 27, after 5 months of use, it is fantastic and all the above still apply.
I don't know what the kids are saying in the reviews, but I messed up like a fool. I got the 4/64 200 and unfortunately it doesn't take a sim card. You understand that without data for me it's a useless product. Nobody's fault but my own for not paying attention. I probably couldn't have imagined it.
In general, and for the money you're paying, you'll get a relatively good tablet. We don't recommend it for gaming or heavy work, but it's perfect as a first tablet for your kids. We also have a ready video for you to watch the review.
I didn't expect so much lag on a new branded tablet, especially for this amount of money. It's unacceptable. I'm thinking of taking it to Samsung's service.
The mediocre tablet has a clear downgrade compared to older models such as the A6, as the colors are somewhat faded, and the battery is also clearly downgraded compared to the past, while as a construction, the corners are crooked with the risk of breaking the screen!
Quick, it doesn't lag no matter how many apps you open at the same time, and the battery lasts almost two days. The image is quite good and the colors are great, overall it's a very good tablet for its price!
It was purchased in April 2022. The build quality is very good, the sound is exceptional, and I have never experienced any glitches. However, it has already been serviced twice for a burnt screen and a problem with the power button. Fortunately, it is still covered by the warranty, otherwise we would have had a problem. Maybe we got a defective device, I don't know what to say.
Everything is fine except for the colors, which are unacceptable. You wouldn't expect this from Samsung. On an older tablet I had (also Samsung), the colors were much more vibrant.
Well guys, if you want a tablet for entertainment, chatting and browsing, get it with your eyes closed. It is the most economical and quality Samsung on the market for these uses, it will not freeze anywhere. Now, if you want gaming and you are demanding, crazy resolution and nothing to hold you back in general, you will not find it in this tablet.
Solid construction for sure. Large capacity and huge screen! Nice sound. It also has a headphone jack, fortunately, compared to others that use the charging port. Very easy to connect to other devices. One downside is the colors, which as everyone says, are terrible and faded, and I can't understand why they did it that way. However, this was greatly improved with the display calibration app I downloaded from Google and adjusted. Overall, though, it's a decent effort by the company to be affordable to everyone and kudos to them.
The 12-year-old mainly uses it for gaming. It doesn't seem to lag anywhere so far. It definitely can handle an SD card for extra storage. Nice big screen with good sound. You pay a bit more (it's Samsung after all) but it's worth it. Good purchase.
