SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A8 10.5” 32GB Android Tablet, LCD Screen, Kids Content, Smart Switch, Expandable Memory, Long Lasting Battery, Fast Charging, US Version, 2022, Dark Gray

I use the Galaxy Tab A8 on stage and rehearsals for reference for songs (chords, sheet music, lyrics, etc). It can do more, but I'm not trying to push this to it's limits for what I need the screen to be on all the time for shows...although I will use it as a sleep/white noise machine for sleep on occasion (wish YT allowed for screen off but maintained audio, but that's TY for ya)...It is what I was expecting.. a very good quality and performance for a mid ranged tablet. I would've gone with a smaller footprint tablet, but those were underpowered, and the screen was a lot worse that this. It's not trash, but I'd be paying Tab S8 money for a larger screen...I'm not looking to add weight to a mic stand mount to have it tip over, so this fit the bill.Screen - as I mentioned, the screen is not trash. Looks rather smooth considering. Could be better in the brightness department as well, but this is because of the type of display that's used. Think older LED tv's to a 2K computer monitor. It's slight, but noticeable. I compared this to a mentioned S8. This is what you're paying for that (amongst other things). I'm okay with this compared to the price vs the S8. Like I also mentioned before, I would've gone for the smaller footprint, but trade off is a slightly worse screen for it's size, and the weight and performance (the 64bg and 128gb variant has 4G RAM, compared to the 32gb storage variant having only 3gb RAM).Weight - compared to the S8, this wins the weight ratio to size for lighter tablet (even with a spigen lightweight case on this thing).Performance - This is where the added RAM is helpful. My lead guitarist has this same tablet in the 32gb version, and the added ram is a super helpful when opening the PDFs for songs and lyrics while having the setlist up on the other half of the tablet for the split screen. Especially when leaving the screen timeout to never and having the brightness down enough to not be bothersome on stage to anyone else. It was a bit snappier when I compared it to a head to head test between the 2 (I adjusted the screen animations in Developer Options). It brought up several PDF's up a tad bit faster, but you can definitely make due with the 32gb, but I'd rather have that room for the PDF's and probably songs I've downloaded for reference on a 512gb microSD card and allow for the performance on the tablet not be bogged down by the tablet being full of files. I've also used this as a touchscreen mouse pad for a laptop connected to my TV as a HTPC via Bluetooth. I prefer a keyboard and trackball for this, but in a pinch, this using an app helps. No lag or problems.Speakers - I do use this as a sleep machine when I need it, and it does help me. It's loud, bordering on annoying in a bedroom. But I've had no issues with the audio on it using as a browser, multimedia device, and using headphones (wired or wireless, via the headphone jack, Bluetooth, or dongle). Also I've adjusted some things in Dev Options for this as well...so no issues.There's not a whole lot to say for this for what I use it for...It has worked flawlessly, so there are no regrets. This is a great little device.

Perfect gift for my daughter. She has been using it for over 6 months. It is still holding charge. The screen size is perfect, the graphics is perfect. It is overall a great tablet.

From the moment I laid hands on the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A8 10.5” Android Tablet, I felt a wave of excitement surge through me. I had just traded up from my week-old tablet, shattered by a small accident, and immediately, the potential of the Galaxy Tab A8 seemed limitless. Here, I've curated a comprehensive review of this device, drawn from my personal experience and bolstered by user feedback to deliver a true journalistic, fact-based, and SEO-friendly perspective.Firstly, I was smitten by the robust and seamless connectivity the Galaxy Tab A8 offered with my Samsung cellphone, including its cellular data. This feature transformed my disappointment about the lack of cellular connectivity in the tablet into a sense of satisfaction. It gave me the freedom to talk, text, browse the web and much more.The Galaxy Tab A8 provided ample storage with its 32GB internal capacity, which I expanded by adding a 128GB micro SD card. That, coupled with the seamless sync with my wireless keyboard and mouse, made the user experience more enjoyable. A noteworthy mention is the battery life - it lasts an entire day on a single charge, a feature that earned it some brownie points.One aspect I found quite challenging was setting up a child profile and restricting access to apps. However, after crossing that initial hurdle, the journey has been fairly smooth. My nephew, for whom I had bought the device to replace his fire tablet, enjoys gaming on it. The superior image quality, fantastic battery life, and impressive sound quality, despite the slight issue with the game field not expanding in landscape mode, make it a formidable gaming tablet.The Galaxy Tab A8 makes transferring data from previous devices effortless. It's a great pick for showcasing product slideshows at my craft shows, proving its utility as a reliable business partner. The tablet, with its stunning 10.5" LCD screen, Snapdragon 450 processor, 3GB RAM, Dolby Atmos surround sound technology, and Kids Mode, makes it an entertainment hub for all ages.However, despite its many positives, the Galaxy Tab A8 is not without its flaws. It's slightly on the heavier side, making it a bit cumbersome to hold for longer durations. Additionally, the device's lack of automatic brightness adjustment is a minor inconvenience.Pros:+ Seamless connectivity with Samsung cellphones.+ Ample storage capacity, expandable with a micro SD card.+ Excellent battery life.+ Immersive gaming experience.+ Easy data transfer from previous devices.+ Great for business presentations.+ Superior entertainment features with a stunning display and immersive sound.Cons:- Lacks cellular connectivity.- Challenging to set up child profiles and app restrictions.- Heavy to hold for prolonged periods.- Does not automatically adjust screen brightness.In conclusion, the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A8 10.5” Android Tablet is a high-performance device that strikes a commendable balance between work and play. It has some areas for improvement, but overall, it delivers value for its price, making it a worthy purchase for individuals or families alike. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a blend of performance and affordability in their next tablet.

I received this tablet a little more than a week ago. I have had many of the Amazon "k" tablet for many years and we're very happy with them. I wanted a tablet for vacation that had access to Google because the apps needed for the vacation events are not available on the Amazon software.I have always had the Galaxy phones so it made sense to me to purchase a Galaxy tablet.The set up was easy. The display resolution is good and the touch screen is responsive. That being said, I am a bit disappointed in how there seems to be a lag in launching apps and waking this tablet up. Once apps are open, the tablet performs nicely.In retrospect, I should have bought the latest version of the Galaxy tablet but the price was right and for what my needs are, it will be fine.If you're looking for a tablet for everyday use, I recommend going with the latest version instead of the A8.
