Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 32 GB Wifi Tablet Black (2019)

It was time to upgrade my sons 10 yr old hand me down device. I looked at the same brand since that one served us well, but they were too much money, if he were to spill juice on it or whatever. He just needed something to watch his videos on and play some games. I didn’t want to go with a refurbished, as I’ve never had luck with them, and while the lower quality brands were more economical, I wanted something I knew would would run well and last more than a year or so before the software crashed.

The Cons:

Mine Has Been Fine Since a Bought it But It Has Suddenly Decided Not To Connect To WiFi Any Thoughts I Dont Use It Much as I also work Off a Desk top in the home

Fantastic device! I was looking to upgrade from an older tablet. I was not a fan of older Samsung Galaxy tablets that still had the home button at the bottom. This one has minimal bezels, just a clean nice look with mostly aluminum back--it feels like a premium device. Build quality is excellent, and performance is excellent as well. I am not an extreme power user, but not a basic user either. Browsing and apps are all quick, screen is excellent and bright. For browsing, youtube videos, basic apps like Dropbox, ESPN, etc., the 32gb version with 2gb RAM works well.

I enjoyed this tablet, but didnt use it a lot. Nevertheless, the battery only lasted 3 years. I hate wasting money.

The tablet was fine for three months. I loved it, then I started getting this strange warning about moisture in the charging port and I couldnt get it to charge. I immediately contacted Amazon who told me to contact Samsung as it was under warranty. I did. Samsung had me send the tablet in to them and after six weeks they emailed me telling me that it couldnt be repaired because the part to fix it is unavailable. They offer an exchange and I agreed. I just wanted my tablet back because I like to read ebooks in bed and I hate reading on my phone. Fast forward over a week and I still dont have my tablet. It turns out, Samsungs service department wasnt fully honest when they told me they were sending the tablet right out to me. They had to get approval for the exchange and once they had that they would contact me sometime within ten business days following the approval. Okay, Im a bit angry over that and thought I had misunderstood, but I did have two witnesses listening in on the conversation who heard the same thing about the tablet being sent over a week ago so Im not completely insane.

I was shopping around for an affordable tablet (under $300) to read comic books and watch videos on. I narrowed my choices down to the budget/entry-level iPad, Kindle Fire 10, and this tablet. The iPads screen (9.7 inches) isnt ideal for full-page comic reading, and I was never a fan of the Fire HD operating system, so I paid a bit more for this Galaxy tablet which runs the latest version of Android.

OK, Im a cheap SOB. I admit that. I experimented with a couple low price tablets (<= $100) and was disappointed each time. So I finally decided to stop dorking around and got a real, no kidding, Samsung Tablet and I am kicking myself for not doing that sooner.
