Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2019)

I purchased the tablet purely to play games on it. I don’t play ram intensive games such as pub g or something similar. It’s more puzzle and decorating games. The tablet even though connected to a 4g wifi network glitches non-stop. It’s not just in gaming I can’t even search in google it glitches and crashes. I have factory reset it, updated it and still it’s horrendous. Please get something decent and not this. I went back to JBHIFI for a refund as it’s clearly faulty and it needs to go for assessment first. Every other place in Perth you can take an item back and get a refund when it’s faulty. Samsung make you send it for assessment hoping you give up and not get a refund. Absolute reprobates.

Do not buy this tablet or any Samsung products as they do not support their warranty. Tablet screen not working after 5 months with no damage to tablet. Sent away to Samsung who said the tablet had been dropped, even though no evidence or damage to tablet. Samsung then attempted to charge $260 to repair a tablet worth $198 even though it is under warranty. Their customer service is extremely poor, we have 8 Samsung devices in our household which will now be replaced by other brands in future.

This tablet was purchased to take away in our caravan. We use it to watch tv and to find information on were we travel. Runs smoothly and goes everywhere we go.

Bought this last year as part of a bonus offer from Optus and because I have another Samsung tablet, left this in the drawer.

Started using this early this year and after a few months, the past couple of weeks, it started flickering and now the screen is dead. When you push the buttons, it still makes the sounds but still black screen. Did the normal factory reset and reboot, but because of the black screen, you cannot see anything. Googling for solutions, seems that this is a hardware fault. Messaged Samsung and they cannot help as they do not have any service centres in Melbourne.

I bought 2x Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0" Wifi that were significantly discounted; one for my elderly mother who needed a bigger screen than her mobile phone to play WeChat games, and one for myself to read ebooks. The best thing about the tablets is their long battery life, even if they've been left in standby mode and not turned off. The build quality is nice too, though the top and bottom bezels are a bit big at 1.6cm each. Screen resolution is at first disappointing when you're used to your phone's sharpness, but you get used to it and it's per...

Paid $328.
Broke the screen.
Samsung quote to replace the screen $260.
80% of the cost of a new one to replace the screen seems a bit harsh.
Might be better to buy a different brand.
Can't really review the performance. Only had it two weeks. Didn't use it for the first week waiting for a case to arrive.

My daughter received this for Xmas. It is a great tablet for watching and streaming and playing games. However when i use it with her to google something she is interested in, I find it lags a bit. Like I am typing way to fast for the keyboard to keep up. Which I'm not. Just a standard speed like most adults I guess. She doesn't have that problem as she is still learning where all the keys are. Sometimes it freezes aswell if I try to jump between multiple screens or apps. As I said, Its perfect for kids and she LOVES it. But I wouldn't purchase it for myself. It just can't keep up.

You either have to pay over 600 for a decent samsung tab or buy this slow to the death tablet.

Even switching between small apps is a pain and it always bothers me.

Would buy s6 maybe.

The tablet is used for our 4 year old daughters video viewing on the YouTube kids app.

It more than satisfies our needs playing smoothly with great sound, graphics, battery life. and smooth trouble free operation.

It is a perfect size for little hands.

The only complaint is that we found that a solid childproof case can be difficult to come across.

Good quality and reliable tablet. Battery life is great. I bought this mainly for reading watching movies or tv shows on netflix. Works well, however very slow if you are using it for anything typing-related. I highly recommend this if you need a cheap tablet for recreational use. I bought this for $249 back in December 2019. I wouldn't spend more for it though

Excellent value for money for my needs (wanting a wider device than a smartphone for ease of reading emails, web content etc.).
This is my first encounter with ANDROID. Learning curve is not as steep as I imagined at first, because there are lots of helpful tips and tricks YOUTUBE videos etc.
Quick and painless purchase and delivery organised through "BuyMobile, Australia". I had a few questions relating to specifications, which were responded to within a day or so.
Lightning delivery to me, here in regional Tasmania, from overseas.

Have not had it long and so far I love it and can't really find fault. I upgraded from a tab a 8.0 I'd bought in 2016. Screen size is great for movies and it has alot of new things I wasn't expecting.

5 weeks later and I still love it. I recommend it

Bought this tablet for my son 2 weeks ago and it works quite well for all his needs including playing games, It has surprisingly good sound too.
The issue with this tablet is that it is becoming impossible to charge as every single day it has a "moisture detected notification while charging and is unable to charge. (swapping charge leads doesn't help)
Do a Google before you buy! Search "Samsung" and "moisture detected notification" and you will see the countless pages of others that have this painful issue with Samsung electronics.
We have man...

So the start of Term 2 WA Remote Learning/School starts. It comes as a no surprise, as we did it in the last 3 weeks of Term 1 2020. What's new?

We have upgraded 3 x our Primary Schoolers' Samsung Galaxy Tab A (7.0", Wi-Fi) 8GB 2016 (SM-T280) models to this beast.

The older models were showing their age, being hammered by the kids, these past years. Noticed that on-board space {1.5 GB RAM) was becoming an issue, even using the SD card storage for offline storage. Still OK for your general kids app usage, but started to notice it was getting ...

I mainly use my tablet for watching Netflix and Youtube. I also check emails and occasionally Skype and video chat with it. The apps are easy to download and work well on this device. In comparison to my previous tablet, a Kindle Fire the picture is not as sharp but it still does the job nicely. It is superior to the Kindle Fire due the fact that it doesn't have 101 Amazon apps on it that use all your storage and can't be removed. The volume is not super loud but it is sufficient and so far so good.
