The tablet is fine. IT WAS DELIVERED! Note to customers who are seniors and may not be particularly tech-savvy: this item required a password for the delivery person. While I understand and appreciate Amazon's desire for secure delivery to customer, it was confusing to me to receive a Password that was not a word or any letters--it was a series of numbers, what I would have called a "code". So I told the delivery person I had not received a "password", and showed her my picture ID as proof it matched the label on the package--and my face matched the ID card. She handed it to me--delivery done--but the website says it was not delivered. I called Amazon's customer service, hoping to avoid a "2nd attempt to deliver"... I've been a customer for years, the "password" requirement was new to me--it made the delivery process stressful for this 71-yr-old person. My purpose in writing this review is not to be critical--but simply to alert other seniors who may be confused by the password requirement. Thanks very much.

Last April, I bought my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ as a replacement for my old Windows 10 laptop which I will be forced to retire next year. I was wondering how well this tablet could serve as a laptop replacement, but I needn't have worried. It does everything my old laptop does, and it does it much faster and much more efficiently. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this device. The things I like best about my Galaxy Tab A9+ tablet: 1. The 11-inch screen is large enough for me to see clearly with my aging eyes. Colors are vivid, and the text is crisp and clear. I can make the text bigger whenever I need to. 2. The sound is great! The tablet featores four speakers (two on eack end) that pump clean, crisp audio into my room. 3. Processor speed is very fast. Apps open in just a few seconds (or less), and there is almost no lag between my screen tap and program execution. 4. My tablet came with 128gb of storage and 8gb of RAM. I have had no issues with storage space or with slowed-down multitasking. I've had as many as 20 apps open in the background at the same time, with no noticeable lag. 5. My tablet came with Android 13 and UI 6.0 unstalled, but both programs automatically updated to Android 14 and UI 6.1 within a month. These latest versions of these programs are outstanding. 6. I bought my tablet with two key essential accessories: a Bluetooth keyboard and a heavy-duty tablet case/stand combination. (I am typing this review on the Bluetooth keyboard right now.) These accessories integrate perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ and help immeasurably in, making it an outstanding laptop replacement. I'm sure I could think of many more features I like, but you get the idea. This is one fantastic tablet - the best I have ever owned! Most highly recommended.

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 like the perfect size and easy use for kids. I don't like that it does not use an official pencil, you can not link one. Excellent screen quality and colorful but it does not have hight scratch resistance.

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!

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.

This Samsung tablet replaced a cheap China tablet I bought a while back. The Samsung tablet completely destroys the cheap tablet in every category. Long battery life, faster processor, and large storage are some of the best features.

Really nice tablet for the price but it couldn’t hold up to the games I wanted to play on it - would constantly freeze/lag and then eventually the game would crash. Had to return it and get the 128GB for the upgrade to 8GB of RAM which handles the games nicely. If you aren’t looking for the extra boost in performance however it’s a good tablet for just basic use (email, web, calendar, etc).

Our church bought 3 of these to use as digital music stands. They work well for our purposes. Battery holds well. Players can read chord sheets well. The size of the screen is slightly larger than a similar tablet of the same class (10") by another brand. Its Bluetooth connects well to a pedal we bought for page turning.

The selling points for me on this tablet were price point, size and ease of use. I was looking for a tablet for simple needs that I could mostly use for zoom meetings, internet browsing and streaming movies and music. There is a spot to insert an SD card if you want more storage. Game apps run OK but this is not a tablet for a serious gamer. It's a sincere to set up. I like that my phone translates to the tablet so it's easy and familiar to use. I set it up through wifi sync with my phone but you can also use the cable and get a mirror of your phone with all your apps, settings and photos. The battery life is pretty good. I like to stream movies and music. Usually in a zoom meeting daily for a couple hours. Battery lasts all day. It suits my needs perfectly. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is the camera. It takes great pictures in medium light but it has to be just right lighting for a good picture. The camera doesn't come with a lot of settings to rectify that and there's no flash. I mostly use my phone for photos anyway. Good little tablet for the value.
