Absolute rubbish with no customer support
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.

Amazing, just what I wanted!
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.

Black screen of death
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.
Purchased in April 2019 at Optus for $346.00.

Have modest expectations
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...Read more
fectly fine for reading. They're limited machines, so you can't overload them with too many apps. My mother only uses hers for WeChat mini games, which aren't that intensive, and still, she complains of lags/freezes every now and then. Most of the time though, it is working well for her purposes. For reading ebooks and playing audiobooks, I'm happy with mine. However, its performance for something as basic as browsing the internet is dissatisfying at times, with noticeable lag. Eg. when loading more items on certain shopping sites and scrolling. These tablets will suit kids and those with minimal requirements like us, but still, I can't imagine anyone would be too happy if they paid full price (over $200) for them.Purchased in May 2020.

Don't drop it...
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.

Can be slow but great for kids
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.

Very slow experience
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.

Great for kids
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.

Great cheap tablet
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 tablet (with SIM card option), replacing a Windows phone
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.

Love it
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

Endless moisture detected notification? Google before you buy!
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.

Ready, set, go (Home Schooling)
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 ...Read more
laggy with school apps on-top. Easy to set up, just simple to work out, it helps knowing what to look for as we are from a line of Samsung devices family. The only thing difficult is finding kid themed covers, so went for the usual one colour variety, as the local Phone Shops stores advised due to COVID-19, stocks are being delayed for this newer model. Surprised, as thought this device had been out for at least a year?. No matter.Purchased in April 2020 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores for $455.00.

Value for Money
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.

Good value tablet
Bought this to help in our son's home schooling. Originally wanted to get an ipad mini but for a big price difference, decided to give this one a go.
The pros: low cost, decent display (8/10 for me), you can hold the tablet with one hand, upgradeable storage,
The cons: slightly sluggish processing power but for the price, can't really complain
Overall it is a good value tablet that is suitable for everyday basic usage

Tends to loose pic or does not show pic despite having sound in background. Not sure if it's a RAM issue or if it just lacks the processing power needed to run Netflix.

Bought the Galaxy A from Telstra end of Jan 2020. On 6 April it just went blank. Local Telstra shop could not fix and have sent to Samsung. May take a month. I'm expecting it to be fixed or replaced. Was working well before this happened.

Screen went dead. Sent to Samsung but they won't replace.
Our 1st Samsung product and tablet screen suddenly went blank/dead during use. Sent to Samsung but they didn't replace. Tablet was in as new condition and always kept in a heavy duty protective case. Samsung also stated that it couldn't be repaired. So no warranty or repair options. Suggest avoiding this tablet from a build/quality perspective and poor customer support, which I'm really disappointed about.

Hello. I have a Tab A6 10.1 16gb 4g with an S pen. I use it in the field and really value it's functions for plan reading, mark ups, integration with word, report writing, 4g for sending them and the wide range of android apps. The screen is quite clear in day light too. The internal pen is an excellent feature and great for markups, and knowing where you left the pen! The only problem is i need more internal storage than 16gb for the programs and apps I use. I have a 128msd card installed but it doesn't help with the internal storage problem. Does anyone know if Samsung will be releasing the Tab A 4G with internal SPen with at least 64 gb internal storage in the future ? Thank you. Otherwise im a very happy Tab A owner.
