Ghost touch to the Max – So over this ghost touch, constant closing of my screen, reopening one's I don't want, screen freeze, hard to restart when it does freeze. This is my third and last samsung tablet. First two died just out of warranty. (2 years 1 week) and 2 years 1 month). Had this one about 2 months now and so disappointed. Show details
Slow machine – Slow machine coupled with slow and dodgy, 2.4ghz only, wifi chip. Overall it's just- slow..... Show details

Worst absolute worst product imaginable – Got this simply to fly DJI drone after finding out just how horrible the touch screen was. Went through the play store i tried over 100 times ... yes 100+ times to tick the “i accept terms button” only to take me the privacy statement again and again and again Literally over 100 times as the “tick box to accept” did not work .... at all the… Read more

A very Apologetic Customer Service "Team" of "Speciallist" Excuse Makers – [I note your notice "Listing monitored by samsung representatives" below my review on here. Pitty the ceos dont monitor all the complaints before one takes the step of airing samsung's "Dirty laundry" via this reputable platform]. I'm amazed (and somewhat gobsmacked) that 90 percent of reviews on here are POSITIVE! If theres trouble with one… Read more
of two identical tablets purchased one can assume its a rotten apple in the bunch, but to have TWO with the same problems with their software outlined below, one begins to SMELL RAT! And the rat's stench is even stronger when Samsung refuses to address the issue! Which is the bigger rat!!!
I have made the mistake of purchasing two of these samsung "SMT-355Y Galaxy tab A" temperamental misfits, (Android version 7.1.1, security patch level 1 august 2017). Build dates: 23 june 2017 emeisv 07 and 22 august 2017 emeisv 06.
The biggest sd card these can handle (although inconveniently not specified in any of their documentation) is 256gig! Persons at technical support even give one differing answers to the maximum size sd card one can use because it is not documented anywhere... (crazy but true). These tablets use the android (google) platform. There is 11.07gig of space on the internal storage card of which samsung/google use about 6gig for god knows what.
You get 2gig of Memory of which SAMSUNG and bedfellows (C.I.A) GOOGLE use 1.2 gig plus to run its shoddy BACKGROUND software, making it difficult for one to go into websites with alot of 'active' content, gif and flash file content etc. Takes ages to browse through The Good Guys website for example waiting for everything to load because these vermin are using most of the ram for THEIR benefit!
Speaking of which, SAMSUNGs third world software does not even play GIF images!! Check these things folks before you purchase their showpony Galaxy S10.
Processors are slow, takes forever to even delete one gigabite of data on the emeisv 06. Takes ages to transfer data, folders and especially movies from the internal storage to the sd storage, even transferring movies to folders within the sd card at times is a slow process; again, slow or "Tired" processing power.
One constantly does battle with the spellchecker continually changing what you type! I type in "The hollies" and these clowns give me "The jollies", after re-typing "The hollies" it finally gives in!! What more can one say... You cannot turn this (so called) "Feature" (being unable to use expletives) off! It's a ripe royal pain in the peter dutton!!!!
Samsung only do updates on the software for these tablets to accommodate advertisers or google! (not for the customers who have purchased outright these items for our private use, and I emphasize our private use).
These are nothing more than an advertising platform to fill samsung's pockets and probably fill google's intel collection database! (I cite the recent case of the $6.8 billion google was fined by the european courts for its mobile app's hanky panky with the europeans being the only country to take them to the cleaners thus far. Search yahoo for "Google fined billion europe court" for all the nitty gritty).
Speaking of which, SYNC pops up all the time after reboot with "too many contact deletions" ever since all my PERSONAL PRIVATE 380 odd contacts were COPIED last June or July. I have tried to delete these unwanted, unrequested copies of my Personal private information ever since to no avail. Again pushing thick pea soup through a thin plastic straw with Samsungs technical support, and Im not giving up on this!
SAMSUNG (or its main bedfellow GOOGLE) are'nt messing with this lil' duck's PRIVATES!!! This is still being investigated. I urge anyone with privacy concerns similar to these to contact the Privacy Commissioner or/and a good pro-bono lawyer! I also STRONGLY urge folks that want to back up their contacts by copying the "contacts" under Apps to USB not let Google upload a (so called) back-up to its servers. Remember, This is your personal information we are talking about here! and email addresses can be sold on by companies for up to 2 bucks a pop (or more) these days!
Samsung wont update their media player to play certain movie and music formats, or provide common audio and video codecs to play all media eg m4a vob mov avi aac mpeg 1,2 mkv etc.
Then there's the audio codecs! Some mp4 files that do play visually on these have audio codecs that are not supported on these tablets yet these same files play quite happily on the crappy cheap and nasty konka r8a mobile phone! (see my review on here on konka r8a to get a picture of just how sad this really is)
The media player does not show all my music files, where other non samsung players do! The last media player update they did was for the benefit of spotify! Not to benefit the customer. Again, I have been on to customer support about this to no avail.
Samsung adding insult to injury recently updated Smart switch a program that was working fine and did everything it was meant to do.. It did - really!
Before they stuffed it up with the recent update, we knew the size of the files being transferred and the rest of it, no connection problems between the other samsung tablet or crabby konka, no drop off's, and now... Sweet diddly squat!
Now several times after the update I'm having trouble connecting up smart switch between my two tablets. I get the "Try again" treatment. At times after numerous attempts when one finally succeeds in getting the two tablets together one or the other disconnects! What a joke!
Quite a few times since this so-called update I'm rowin up the ross river with tenis rackets trying to transfer movies from one smt355y to my other smt355y! They are both the same tablet, the only difference is one's build date is one month older than the other, and before this update on smart switch I never had any problem!
I do not use blutooth to transfer files and music from one tablet to another because it is so slow!
Also,
When you transfer some music files and especially some pdf files via bluetooth from one tablet to another the names change! They lose their (dot)pdf and (dot)mp4 etcetera at the end of their file names which by-the-way have changed to a number now!
Also,
In their contacts they give us an 8 inch screen yet when we hit the contact we are after, the left full half of the screen still shows up all the contacts you did not choose! W h y ? Because of this on the right hand half of the screen we only have 1 (one) iddy-biddy inch of space (horizontal use) (yes one inch of the eight) under the chosen contacts photo to scroll the phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses and websites etcetera. You know how annoying that is!
All other non samsung contact apps, when you hit the desired contact that contact's details takes up the major portion of the page! Unlike with samsungs rubbish, all the other contacts that you did not choose do not inconveniently take up half the page!!
With non samsung contacts apps you have the full 8 inches to comfortably view all the numbers etc, not one inch!
This was another matter I continually reported to samsung to no avail. They were just not interested. There have been 4 updates for contacts since and non have addressed this issue. Obviously common sense plays no part in the development of samsung apps.
Then theres the wifi. My tablets are connected to the internet via wifi from my phone. Everytime I reboot the phone or tablets one must physically reconnect the wifi, the "Auto reconnect" is a tempramental feature (for want of a better word) that seldom works properly at the best of times even with all my tablets phones etc etc within a 10 foot desk radius!! The WiFi connection from my phone to these tablets cuts out a lot and when I check the WiFi it says "Authentication Error", which is very strange as this happens on both tablets at different times for no reason. Like a couple of samsung's other programs on these tablets, they seem to get their "Monthly's" on a daily basis!!
I have so many other beefs with these "I-dont-give-a-hoot" samsung mob that I won't have the space to outline them all via this platform!
I have contacted customer support many many many times about getting them to update their software (like microsoft and other reputable caring companies do all the time), to no avail.
All you get is sorry, sorry, sorry and yes - more sorry! Their eyes and ears are closed to our complaints. We purchased their "Product" now we can go to hell is their motto!
I recently purchased thousands of dollars worth of fisher and paykel pidgeon pair fridge freezer, washing machine, heat pump drier etc (see upcoming reviews after I get a chance to use them all for a while after I get back on me feet).
The salesman at the good guys here in townsville tried to sell me samsung washers etc! (yeah right). As I explained, if one gets the same level of attention and satisfaction from samsung after buying one or more of their white goods as you do after buying two of their tablets they're not worth a cracker to me!
I showed him on my tablet the troubles im having with samsung tablets (with other customers looking on) and one really did not have any need to clarify too much after that I can tell you! I will not even look in the direction of any samsung product in the future! I have written samsung off as a bad joke, (a punishment from god) and am waiting for a (non apple) alternative to replace these, and this at a time where today's mobile phone or tablet is tomorrows paper weight, I dont mind waiting!
I would also like to add that I have video evidence to back everything I have stated above, I only wish I could show all you folks reading this what I continually show others here in townsville and other mediums. See some of my videos here https://youtu.be/2taE5YanQ1s and go to my profile page and you can see more.
(And MORE proof for Product Review.com.au of ownership of these bundles of joy one hopes).
Im in the process of uploading about 30 videos about thes tablets software issues that Samsung refuse to fix onto a website that will be able to show them in HD, as they lose 80 percent clarity in YouTubes upload and conversion process.
For the months of anguish these corporates have caused me, when next in Sydney these tablets of mine will transform into "Special tablets" for certain samsung ceos, and the good ol' aussie slang term of "Gettin it up em" will have a whole new meaning after I'm done, then they'll have one "Eye" wide open to future complaints, and I shant be wasting any money on vaseline for that privilege!
Wont be no "Sorrys" from me either!
I have enclosed a hi res photo of my two tablets showing tablet info including my IP address and Tablet serial numbers etc.
UPDATE 18 MARCH 2019, One has noticed a lack of reply of any description from "Samsung representatives that are monitoring this listing" (as stated above and below). WONDER WHY?????

Never buying Samsung again, piece of rubbish – NEVER KEPT TIME - within a week of resetting to the correct time, it was 5 or so minutes behind. It’s a computer, how is that possible? HAD DIFFICULTY CHARGING IT - could not be charged on a dual charger, only a single one. And the device had to be at an angle, wouldn’t charge flat. And not all powerpoints. For a time the only place in the house… Read more
it would charge was balanced upright on a fan heater. And not any USB cable either. Ended up using my Huawei cable, the only one that worked on this tablet. Would not charge in the car either. NOT ENOUGH STORAGE ROOM - after it kept 6gB for the system and all its bloatware apps so I had to limit the number of apps I wanted. HAD TROUBLE UPDATING THE APPS - was always running out of disc space during charging. After every update I had to move as many apps as I could over to my SD card, so I could update others. IT DELETED MOST OF MY APPS one day, even the ones I’d paid for. Had to download them again. I have other devices, never happened to them, so it was not an issue with Google PlayStore. SLOW - there were a couple of games I couldn't play, they were so s-l-o-w STARTED COMING APART AND THE BUTTON FELL OUT. The top layer/screen lifted off so the button was no longer held, and it fell out. See pic. FINALLY was able to buy a new tablet and it sure wasn't Samsung.

Nice entry level tablet – This is an entry level tablet, it's best as a tablet for home use, surfing the net, watching music, playing games, checking emails, social media etc. To be honest I bought this to use mostly as an e-reader that will read anything in any format after downloading some simple apps, and for that use, it is perfect. I also use it to watch movies in… Read more · 1
bed. The movie quality is great, far better than I expected, I mean really good. The battery life is amazing, much better than previous tablets I've had. It does feel a bit light, I don't like the plastic feel, and it's very slippery, but now that I've got in a case it feels a bit more substantial, and the case stops it slipping when I stand it up. The screen seems very responsive, even through a glass screen protector. There's only one speaker, so the sound is a bit thin, but I think everyone bluetooths to external speakers these days anyway. It can take a 512gb memory card; I got a San Disk Ultra Extreme Memory card and it's performing well. I think you'd want to think about what you are buying it for, before purchasing. If you're looking for top of the range, you need to pay for top of the range, if you're looking for a simple tablet for media or to entertain kids, or for simple office programs this is perfect. It's a good size. My previous tablet was a 10" and didn't fit in all my handbags, this one does, so it's simple to take out with me, without feeling like I'm carrying to many things, and without worrying about leaving it behind. Yet although smaller, the screen size is still big enough to be very useful and for reading, especially for reading. I've read some other reviews complaining about specifications, and I wonder why these people didn't check specifications and read reviews before they bought it.
Very capable tablet, easy to recommend – I purchased this 10.5 inch tablet (T590 is the applicable model number) with the intention that it be a media server, with a heavy emphasis on storage, distribution and playback of music. I'm pleased to say it has exceeded my expectations. This model can take huge SD cards up to 400gb, easily enough to store a large music library, even in… Read more
uncompressed formats, and it's been great having my whole library readily accessible and searchable. A fussy audiophile, I've used several headphones and earbuds, including what would be regarded as higher end full size "over ear" headphones with great results. Seriously, this tablet can compete with proper hifi separates driving headphones, with only a handful of very high impedance exotics beyond it, and the advanced sound section in settings includes a number of useful tools to customise playback beyond the standard graphic equalizer, even including Dolby Atmos. Bluetooth connection is very well catered for with five separate codecs built in, including LDAC, currently considered the best codec available. It's easy to connect to external audio such as soundbars, either using Bluetooth, or wired transmitting the raw digital feed to an external DAC or audio processor, or casting direct from tablet to TV. There are four speakers in the tablet and Samsung describes using it for media as an immersive experience, I'll agree they are of very good quality by tablet standards, but the immersive tag only really applies to headphone or connected to stereo listening, and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching online concerts with it where it's been easy to get caught up in the performance. The screen is not, by current standards, cutting edge but I've had no problem with its quality watching concerts or online shows off Prime or TV catchup. One small issue has been a tendency to drop some detail in shadow areas in video, it's dynamic range could be little better, but it's not a deal breaker. I read magazines on the tablet, generally this is fine with crisp text, but on scrolling through pages there can be a slight delay (less than a second) between text loading and then becoming properly sharp. I read primarily Hifi magazines, which have a heavy graphic content, and oddly there doesn't seem to be any connection between how much picture content is on the page and the time taken to properly load. Overall I'd describe the screen as very good quality, although graphic performance could usefully be improved a touch, at this price point though it's absolutely not a deal breaker. Responsiveness to touch is also excellent, I've composed several long documents on it (where, oddly, the delay in rendering text sharply doesn't occur) and found it a joy to use for typing. Also, one area where I'll give the screen a solid 10/10 is picture quality on still photographs. Absolutely no complaints there, this tablet is a delight to use on Facebook, Instagram etc, and it's easy to do photo editing (I use Adobe Express) and clearly see the effect of subtle changes. Overall, at this price point, this is a no brainer to give 5 stars to. Improving on it will take a LOT more money than the $349 I paid, and, for my purposes, yield no significant improvement. Thoroughly recommended.
Perfect for mother with failing memory – At Harvey's we bought the new Galaxy tab A 10.5" screen for my mother.. It is perfect for Mum for the games and facebook. Now mum can play and enjoy her ipad again. The last one was an LG so when the battery went in it there was no easy replacement This Tab does not have phone connection, just wifi, but it is just what Mum needed. It does… Read more
not lag or go slow, and even my mother could catch on how to use it in no time despite her memory problems. . The android system is one Mum is familiar with, which helped in deciding which to buy. The screen is lovely crispy clear - a bit bigger than the old 2 Mum had. Overall this is something I would buy myself due to the sufficiency of the speed.
It actually feels very very nice in the hand. I purchased a cover to protect it against drops etc and now Mum takes it with her everywhere. The battery holds a pretty good charge.. The internet is fast enough for mum. Mainly just for emails and youtube. and really there are no complaints to be reported. This is a neat tablet and I recommend it. Very pleased with the purchase.

Perfect – Brought this from a garage sale for a very cheap price ((with no charger)). I purchased a charger for 30.00 , did a factory reset and this iPad is brilliant. I made sure all the software updates were done. Screen is brilliant in low light and I use this to take on trips where there is a lot of walking. Will never replace a laptop but is so much lighter to use. Samsung made some excellant products back in the day Show details
Great service and Support – My wife bought a Samsung SM-T590 in March 2019. We had some issues with connectivity after 18 months and were concerned that the warranty may be expired.

A pretty nice tablet for watching movies – I purchased the tablet for my parents to watch online videos (e.g youtube) and to do everyday web chats with me, so overall speaking, this tablet suits our needs well. The color looks pretty vibrant on the display when watching movies and there is a dobly atoms sound effect available which is great. The general software performance on this table… Read more · 1
is ok and is much faster than their old tab4, so we are satisfied with this purchase. The front LED display got cracked before, I had to purchase a spare display to replace it myself, so you may want to my a screen protector to prevent it from accidental damages.
Negative reviews
expects you to give your entire identity to google and microsoft for basic functions – will not switch control to my computer for transferring photos to my computer, and cannot move photos to SD card without prompting me to download some ridiculous app. I have seen NO OTHER DEVICE that restricts file transfer like this.
What is the point of an Android tablet with locked SD Card storage? – When your storage is full, that SD Card you've bought is useless and so is the tablet. Samsung has locked the feature to get you to spend more money on a more expensive tablet. This is a new "feature" that was not on older Tab A's. It's selfish and nice and damaging for Samsung's reputation. Don't expect the screen to last without a protector. Show details

Samsung will not fix an 80 year olds tablet under warranty! – We purchased my frail 80 year old mother inlaw a Samsung tablet a year ago. Her battery charging port wont charge. She has another 1 year warranty left. Samsung claims abuse such as twisting it, broke it. COME ON SAMSUNG, SHE IS A FRAIL 80 YEAR OLD LADY! 1. This was not used by children, it belongs to an 80 year old woman on the pension who has… Read more
no strength to twist and break the port.
2. It has no external damage. No evidence of a drop. Not even a scratch! We took photos to prove it. No cracking. Other than the charging port, it is in perfect condition.
3. It is a guided battery slot, straight in and straight out (no twisting can be done even by me). This is typical of Samsung as usual trying to avoid another warranty. People are getting so sick of this.
I will now set up for her a go fund me page. To raise money to replace it, making sure I explain Samsung wont fix it under warranty and list all the names of the current Samsung CEO's. (The ones that are not in jail in Korea for fraud that is) see the news headlines.

keeps dropping out and stuck in loop with logo on screen – I would like to rescind some of the stuff I wrote as after leaving my table out of its case for a few hours I found it was working correctly, so these problems could be the result of over heating in the case or folder I have it in and with the close to 30 degree weather conditions could be the reason it kept dropping out and stuck in a loop, this… Read more
is yet to be determined but all good so far, the battery charge is even lasting longer and no dropping out when below 70 percent. I also accept that it is an older version and may be susceptible to faults.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0" Wi-Fi tablet is used for general use on the net, facebook, photos, ebooks etc. if was bought in 2015 from Harvey Norman, for the past year or so it keeps dropping out and stuck in a loop with the logo on screen, if plugged in it was turning on properly but now keeps reverting to logo and not starting up. Charging time would vary sometimes lengthy and battery time was quite short I thought, sometimes a couple of hours and was fully charged originally. Now it is unusable just flashes on and off with logo on the screen and will not start up.
Also it has never recognize the SD card that is installed in it.
Could you please help or offer some suggestions as I think I have tried everything.
Slow and short battery life – I bought this tablet 6 weeks ago and cannot believe how slow it is, worse than my 5 year old Samsung. The battery life is also worse, sometimes going flat overnight. The touch screen is that sensitive, when I try to scroll it goes to the page instead of scrolling. I don't know if it is faulty or if this is normal, but if its normal its a real shame as I have always been happy with Samsung products Show details
Good and bad – used for surfing media, FB, light gaming. Speed and capacity performance are very good for the money. Screen is prone to freezing (often) and varies a lot in its touch-sensitivity. On-screen keyboard is a bit of a nightmare, anyone wanting to do a lot of messaging should look elsewhere. This tablet's success is due largely to a shortage of competition, I think. Show details

This tablet is suitable for surfing the internet and watching movies but not suitable for taking photos.
Great for basic – Great for basic use and surfing internet, not great for movies or Netflix. Apps are decent in smooth easy use Satisfy basic needs of old people or children as it’s drop proof too Show details · 1
Served me well – Won it at a completion 4 years ago, worked really well the first two, but got a bit slow on the recent ones. It still worked well though. It works really well for Games and Movies, and is fairly cheap as well. Eventually earlier this year, the LCD screen died and its mostly black. I have replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy J5, and they are pretty similar. I would definitely recommend to other people. Show details · 1
