While I love my 360 laptop-to-tablet, it's bulky when trying to use it in a car or on a flight. I finally broke down and bought a tablet and this seemed like a good deal for the money. And the memory card makes it a better deal. It's an android tablet which I liked but a few of the apps I have on my phone are not compatible with this OS. However, they weren't "high priority" apps for me and I still can use them on my phone.
I debated getting a tablet from my cell-phone provider but decided against it since I can hot-spot my phone. This tablet works wonderfully with my phone in hot-spot mode as well as my home router. It's much faster than my phone as well.
Overall, I gave it a 4-star as I have limited experience with tablets and felt a 5-star review would be unfair. I say for what I want to do (web-browse, watch vids, a little bit of generic gaming, and limited use of Excel/Word docs) this is a great tablet for the price. I would recommend this.
The only issue I had was the keyboard installed on this tablet does not have a "Swype" function. I recently become accustomed to using swype and really didn't want to have to rely on ol-fashion typing. The keyboard installed, you can see the swype but no text will appear in the field. That said, I was able to download a different keyboard (GBoard) from Google Play and now I can swype again.
This is a great tablet, I wasn't sure about getting the international version but it works great. The only thing I had an issue with was resetting the location because this one was set to somewhere in Asia. Makes it a little hard when you want your local weather on your home screen. All in all a great tablet, worth the money. I would recommend this to anyone. The price is not that bad, the video play back is great quality and response is great even with the protective case on it and screen protector. I have never had to press very hard at all when making my way through the different apps and menus. Even resetting the location is not that hard though when you first start it is all in Korean or some other language but as long as you select the right option for language which was a lucky guess on my behalf everything else is easy sailing. The sound is great as well, when you turn it up it can get nice and loud...Either way I have not had any audio problems as it is not hard to hear even with the volume set at a low level. And there is no need to worry about connectivity as I was able to connect it to my wireless printer, and with the free download from the google app store had no problem getting the software that allows me to print straight to my printer from this tablet.
Much small that my first one, the operating system is much the same.This one is the European version (non American/English). You will need to make sure that the first thing you do is choose 'English' and the primary language!!! Although is has more memory, the updates still come in the original language, which means I don't know what updates I'm getting updated.
The 32 GB model is much more practical than the 16 GB model since Samsung restricts fairly severely which apps can be stored on the supplemental micro SD card. I bought the case and a 32 GB micro SD card with this tablet and am very happy with the combination.
Glad initial start-up instructions in English but small pamphlet is only in Korean. Not from the USA for sure as we have to provide instructions in a million different languages. But we wanted the 32Mb ver. so had to get the Korean tablet. Came on time as projected. Very happy,,, just trying to get all settings from one tablet to another now. Very Satisfied with seller.

Great tablet. Works well and the extra ram is very useful. Only thing I can think of that I don't really like is the position of the back button which I keep accidentally touching! Also, when in landscape mode the controls are at the side, which is inconvenient. I realise that this means a slight larger usable screen area but I preferred my last Samsung galaxy which had them on the screen. So, overall great, but with a little problem.
Really like this tablet. Haven't had any issues to date.
It's default language isn't english, so be wary... nationality
Is the 1st prompt, after tgat it's smooth sailing.
32GB internal storage is great! The only downside is I'm not able to register my product with Samsung (USA) because it's considered to be purchased outside the USA.
Disclaimer - I am not a tech nerd. I don't know a lot about tech specs. This is purely a user experience review.
I am a die-hard Apple fan and initially had trouble with the Android set-up. I just wasn't used to how the settings worked and how the application set-up. But I ended up really liking how well the Samsung integrated the Google applications. I was always on top of my notifications.
I purchased these for app development for work and testing and the screen really is huge. I was a little put-off by it at first but it was great for media. It was really convenient.
My wife is the one that uses this. We take this on trips and use it at home, it has become her main computer, her desktop is collecting dust. This a second one mainly because we seem to have a charging problem with our original. Now with two units one can charge while using the other. Tried charger options and still end up with too slow charge, second unit was our best option and now we both can have one to use on day trips. Gave a #4 star rating because of the slow charging problem that developed on the first unit after a year of use.
