I was looking for a tablet to read books on (Amazon unlimited) I have Verizon and looked there first, but it was more expensive, and I had to get a new phone line, and I didn't need that, I just want it to download books. I looked here and found same tablet, lower price & I didn't have to spend extra money on phone bill. Also, because it has Wi-Fi I can use it anywhere with Wi-Fi, and with hot spot on my phone. I due have a samsung galaxy phone and I can actual link them together. It does everything that a galaxy phone can do, even calls if your linked to your phone. So all in all it's a great tablet for the $

I have been an avid user of Samsung phones for many years now, and familiarity is certainly a selling point with me. I love that I was able to connect the included cable and transfer everything (apps, contacts, photos, etc) directly from my phone to this unit in just a few minutes. Everything showed up just like my phone, and that made it so much more easy to use. I love the look and feel of the unit. The responsiveness and speed is certainly on-par with my phone, and the screen has a beautiful color and crispness. Switching in and out of apps is a breeze. Functionally, it works like my Samsung Galaxy. I'm not a big gaming person, so I can't really tell you much about that. However, it is nice because I didn't have to change much in the settings since it basically cloned everything from my phone. I like that I was able to install a 128GB MicroSD card for added space as well. Transferring my saved MP3 files allows me to listen to music whenever I want. I also like that I can use Bluetooth headphones or plug-ins with this unit. Even without headphones, the unit has a really nice sound with 4 internal speakers. I would HIGHLY recommend this unit, especially to anyone with a Samsung phone!

I have purchased a number of tablets over time always with an eye on price. I've always been disappointed in the speed and so frustrated by programs constantly crashing and having to clear cache and restart the tablet. Sound familiar? Finally realized I need more storage and a fast, reliable processor. I'm so afraid of running out of space I also wanted to easily be able to expand using a microSD. The more I looked at the specs the more convinced this would do what I needed. I ended up purchasing a second for my husband. The screen clarity and vivid colors are incredible. But most impressive to me is the speed and no program crashes. I think I'm in heaven. Well worth the price.

I purchased this for my young son. He enjoys it very much! It's affordable and high quality. It preforms very well in Roblox and other games. The battery life if pretty long after hours of video watching and games before it needs a charge.

Bought this tablet to do my taxes on and I was happy with it overall. Screen is very nice and clear. Playing games on it is perfectly fine and everything runs pretty smooth. Camera with afternoon light is ok but other than that it’s not great at all. Over all it’s a big size screen and runs pretty great. Drawing pad is nice but does not support S pen. So if you’re looking to have a nice drawing pad with a S pen find a different tablet. Does run other drawing pens out there but reviews seem to never be great. Cons honestly are no S pen support for drawing and camera is mid at best. Everything else is perfect for work and great price.

First thing is first, this is a budget tablet and that must be kept in mind when buying it. This is not a Sammy Tab S Ultra and wont perform like one. (I have that beast also) Keeping this in mind, this tablet is not meant for high performance things like some gaming. I personally bought this table for use as a media device to place in a mount in my garage over the work bench. For my use case I opted for the 4gb/64gb option, the heftier 8gb/128gb version might be a better performer with the doubling of your RAM. Build quality is awesome for a budge tablet. No plastic anywhere in the frame or back cover. Buttons and screen are responsive and look great. Screen brightness is good for indoors but lacks a bit in direct sunlight where it can be hard to see some things. Comes with a charging cable but no charging brick. I have plenty around but keep this in mind if you don't have a bunch laying around in a drawer. Tablet is light and easy to carry around. Bezels are minimal. Wifi and bluetooth connections are stable without any dropouts that I have noticed. Speakers are decent on their own and loud enough. Battery life is average under heavy use like streaming video. Samsung's One UI has never been my favorite skin of Android and it shows on this tablet. I find that there can be lags and a bit of stuttering when maneuvering around the settings and swiping screens in general but that goes away while in apps. Again this might not be as noticeable in the 8gb RAM version. Overall I very pleased with the purchase. At the time of purchase this was only $10 more than a Fire HD 10 2023 and I can honestly say it puts that to shame as I have used both. Build, screen, software and no ads all make this a no brainer if you can hold out for a sale.

Great little tablet. Great price. AT@T wanted double the price for the same model.. works well. fast speeds.. Got it to watch movies..

We have had an galaxy A7 and A8 for years. Our family has lived in the budget tablet space because it fits our meager budget. Typically we get them for 130 to 150 dollars on Black Friday etc.. We have been very happy with them. I thought the A7 to be better than the A8 for processor speed. The A9+ has been a step up in every way. Larger screen, faster processor, more memory and more storage. The reason for getting it wasn't that our old ones died but that my pre-teen and teen daughters have hogged the old ones till I and my wife never get to use them. Not that we do a huge amount but sometimes it just works better for us instead of a laptop. I had been looking for newer generation nice laptop still in the budget space and this finally rose to my attention when it showed up on sale. I got the nicer unit on sale for 200ish dollars. Base one was 169. I would love to have one of the flagship tablets but it's not financially practical. However if I'm missing something not having one It's hard to tell. The screen is bright and clear, it's snappy, WiFi is fast, I added a 1.5 tb sd card for massive media storage, and sound is loud and crisp to me. Also since my phone and other tablets are Samsung also, the setup process was very smooth and fast. I used my phone and it automatically put my account, apps and other stuff from my phone on the tablet without me having to set a lot of stuff up again. I would get this again. oh... always get a very good case and a tempered glass screen protector. It's the reason we are still using 4 year old tablets that are still in mint condition.

My main tablet is a Galaxy Tab S8, it is my work and home tablet. I keep a secondary one for when I'm out and about and there is a risk of something happening to it. Going to the club to read or going on vacation. I have a Tab A7 Lite that I would use for casual reading when out, but the response time and scrolling speed was maddingly slow. The A9+ went on sale so I thought I'd give it a try. It's not as quick as the S8 but more than satisfactory for browser reading. The resolution isn't as high so the screen isn't as clean but again, for its purpose it's fine. Quite frankly I rarely ever use the stylus so that's not an issue. Otherwise I have it set up almost exactly like the S8. It gets security updates until 10/27 as far as I can tell so I'm happy with it.

I got the 128 model on the Amazon sale a few days ago. The only reason I bought it was for traveling because I did not want to drag around my 2022 IPad Air and possibly lose, or mess up, a 500.00 tablet. So......like the headline states......it's OK for the price. Not the retail price, but the sale price. Last year I bought the Fire 11 for the same reason, travel, but ended up returning it after a few days due to a price drop and Amazon refusing to offer a price match discount. Along those lines........... I tried my best and spoke to numerous people over an 8 month period but Amazon refused to return or credit the 70 or so I received from trading in two cheaper Amazon tablets when I bought the 11. I have been informed, over and over again by Customer Service, you lose the trade-in on a return. Now, I cannot find this ANYWHERE in the trade-in policy. But there it is so be forewarned. I would say both the tablets are very similar, with a slight edge maybe to the Samsung with the 8GB vs 4GB on the Fire. Neither are as smooth as the Air, but that is where the price difference comes in. When I bought this I believe the Fire was 199 and the A9+ was 209. For an additional 4GB of memory 10 bucks is good for me. Plus, I had no more available trade-ins for the 20% discount. As for the tablet itself..... The sound is fine, picture is fine, and I really prefer Google Apps as they just seem to have more of what I want. I imagine build quality is similar. Now for the apps....... Prime video was loaded, along with Peacock, Disney, MGM, HBO/Max, Paramount......all my streaming services with one glaring, if not unexpected, exception. Apple+ TV. I found an ITunes app, but no TV app. Maybe the Fire has it, I don't know. I also loaded Samsung SmartSwitch which allowed me to sync info from my IPhone. No issues, worked well although it did take a minute using wireless connectivity. The tablet did not come with a plug as has been noted many times. I guess, you know, is it a big deal if you have other electronics? No. But if this was your only one.......I mean, really? Is that plug really saving all that much money off the list price? Some of these things the corporations do nowadays just seem silly/greedy. As far as charging goes, this seemed to be another hot topic. So, using an Apple 20W Fast Charger, the tablet went from 13% to 100% in about 2 1/2 hours. If I went USB-C only I would guess more than double that time would be required. I did make sure Fast Charge was on in the tablet.....it shipped that way. The battery did seem to wear down rather quickly, but not fast enough to return the tablet. The phone transfer was about 30 minutes, and all I did other than that was load Apps and change some settings for a few hours. This took me from 50 to 13%. How that compares to my Air, no idea. But it is acceptable. One thing I do not like.....and maybe I just need to try a bit harder.....I cannot figure out how to get Auto Blocker turned on. It's right there in Settings, but greyed out as is two other advanced settings below it. I just keep seeing a spiral up top right like something is trying to load. Only thing I can figure out is if you have free apps loaded you cannot block the pop-ups or whatever. Wi-Fi hooked up right away so I did not bother trying my phones Hot Spot. Other than that, I see no issues with this tablet. At the right price, of course!
