Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) - User Reviews

  • Yes it is

  • Yes

  • does this support otug?

  • Is this otg

  • is it NFC enabled ?

  • Is this otg?

  • Is this product have dual antina?

  • Which otg connector can use with it

  • U can try Omni rom, I found it working better than LOS.

  • Only the US and china versions are snapdragon. international versions use mali gpu

  • Can you tell me where can i download it plz

  • What is the best Rom for A6 t285 i tried the nougat but i found a problems with it

  • can anyone confirm this is snapdragon? i have mine (lte version) but it shows spreadtrum with mali gpu...

  • This perfect for reading. The size and weight are like a paperback book. The processor is very powerful. It is just 1.5 GB RAM and that gets bogged down with garbage 3rd party collecting of data. That is easily cleared out. The camera is also not very good, but will take decent screenshots. This is a plain banilla tablet that can even fit in a deep pocket.

  • Hold power button home button and up button at the same time and wait to see the screen erase all data go down to yes and your device will come like out of the box remember your Gmail password before

  • Mine did the same back in 2017. It was off for about a month becuase I thought it was a goner. Then one day I decided to plug it with the charger again voila! Turned on. Not sure what the issue was but don't throw it away.

  • My samsung SM-T285 blacked out and is now not functioning. the screen does not show anything and am totally cut off. the cost of repairing can buy a new one.

  • Hi, does this support MHL (Mobile High Definition Link)?

  • Hi, is there any chance to release an update to this device.

  • Charges very slow, RAM is not enough, only 4gb of the internal memory can be used and even if you insert a memory card it will still save things and apps on the phone memory. Otherwise the display, internet speed and battery life is perfect. Before buying it consider the weaknesses.

  • are you planning to make a new model? the OS is pretty old and the tablet itself need more ram and CPU.

  • Very handy phone, i do agree the battery is slow in charging nevertheless im really enjoying mine....

  • this tab is nuisance! you only have 4gb of free space since the remaining is use up by the OS! inserting SD card is pointless because it still install in phone memory! the touchscreen has bad response. battery takes too long to charge! the tab weight is a bit heavy, i think the WiFi Version may be lighter. after few months, it will hang a lot. I'm using the t285 Version and it came with spreadtrum processor not snapdragon! 1.5gb of ram is ridiculous for gaming. not to mention, it can't install big games due to less space. you only buy this tab for basic usage etc call/sms.

  • Samsung galaxy tab A6/A7 is decent device for samsung consumers but after OS update it has been slower in performance than past so please fix it by OS update.

  • Heating charger.Slow charging. Fast completing. 4000mah but it is not fast. Display very much slower typing

  • Is there a galaxy tab a without a SIM card slot. I seem to be having problems with the one sent to me from USA

  • Does Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) have tempered glass screen?

  • Please Updet android vartion,

  • what is the difference between samsung galaxy tab 7 SM T285 and samsung galaxy tab 7 SM T285N models. are there any significant difference

  • Pubg not supported no marshmallow update😢

  • Good to all, pls i want to confirm something urgent, pls what's the size of Samsung Galaxy Tab A 6 screen touch.

  • did you find out how to cast the screen ? i can connect to the tv but can't see my tab, only youtube.

  • Good tablet but the main problem with it is the 8GB of storage. Seriously you can't have 5 games on it. Not good

  • This is the first time I bought a Samsung tablet, and I must say Samsung did not disappoint. Sound quality is good, no, you don't get a boombox with high bass and what not, but for private listening in bed, the volume is about right and the sound is crystal clear. Picture quality is very good already for this price point. Then, there is the built in FM radio which I like. I never like to have to download radio Apps. The camera is decent. At 5 MP, it's not expected to be "professional" but then again, how many of us are professionals? It's already better than many compact cameras of yesteryears, so I am contented...again considering this price point. Surfing the internet is a breeze. Speed is good, and because I do not multi-task, so I have no concerns about lag which others might have. If I check and reply to emails, I do just that and nothing else. When I am on some online forum, then, that's it. If I am watching YouTube videos, I don't turn up some other screen to suck power away from whatever I am doing right now. Plus, the LTE version is also a phone. All in all, it's a good portable mini-computer. And some.

  • Any idea what alternative apps from google play store to cast screen mirror besides Google Home?

  • I tried screen mirroring using Google Chomecast & Google Home App.....IT DID NOT WORK. Youtube casting worked though.

  • Just updated Google Home, installed expressVPN, dramas & LiveNet TV apps, left about 1GB space. No games, space just enough for this purpose.

  • Not enough memory to do much at all. I keep having to delete things to put anything hew on

  • Please I have the same problem with my T285. It becomes very hot especially at the top and the sensor start to work/misbehave by itself. When on Facebook, the bottom near the ENTER KEY will be responding by itself. So boring.

  • Disappointed. About 10 minutes on the net phone overheats. I'm fear phone will explode in my hand.

  • Not have flash camera

  • samsung Tab dont have flash@Amynah

  • t280(wifi only) also has OTG and FM radio? Is the touch screen difficult to use, pls?

  • To be frank, Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 (T285) doesn’t have a Flash Light but has a good Battery, processes fast and lots more.

  • Galaxy Tab A (2016) SM-T285, I recently got the phone but not sure if it has a camera flash, can you help please?

  • after 2 years my battery is still good

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 is not the first Samsung Galaxy Tab I've used before. I've used Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7" (Model - P555) which I really enjoyed using and sold it after 3yrs of usage. Now, I'm using Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 (Model - T285) which still I found to be very interested. I can use it for voice calls, surf the net and do lots more at my conveniences. Samsung, I give you a big DIFFERENCE out of the others. Congratulations!

  • Thank you very much. It has worked.

  • Same time click home button and power button

  • Please can someone tell me how to do screenshot on my T285?

  • Response is not very fast but consistent and smooth. Camera shots are good and so is shutter speed.

  • Does it support JIO 4G????

  • after more than 1 year, battery still work properly

  • the battery life is very good after 6 months of use

  • what if i add a 32 sd card do not you think it will be good?

  • How is battery life?

  • I totally agree with you. This Tab has been with me for about 7 months. Quite frustrating when you have device that can't allow you do updates when u need to due to insufficient space. If not for this...it's quite an excellent Tab. Battery life is ok. It's also very functional.

  • mirro cast yes it can go to google playstore and download the google app

  • Yes

  • Does anyone know if this tablet will run Google home App for Chrome-cast.Cheers.

  • plz guide me can i coonact glaxy tab T285 TabA 2016 with projector. is Tab ha screen marring or screen cast option

  • Issues with WiFi from day 1. Samsung replaced the board but the problems persists - they say there's noting more they can do. All my other devices(J5, J5 Prime, Lenovo Tab, Dell Laptop, ASUS Laptop) connect at good speeds but this tab shows 12Mbps, sometimes 2Mbps. Samsung USA forums suggested manually adding the network and giving the device a static IP - this has not made any difference.

  • Nougat Update, is very sturdy now, good for internet users, however one problem, the memory.

  • Well you could try using the Root Option, As Long As You Have An SD Card, you could simply use link2sd this will make you install big apps, and also you could speed things up while you have root access.

  • since day 1 the battery power has been subpar- other than that ... Great Phone

  • Good tablet.. I try my mobile legends and its work, feels like 2 Gb ram.

  • Not worth the money. The majority of the apps you probably want can't be moved to the SD card and there seems to be no way of having the downloaded there either. The memory fills up very quick leaving no room to update the apps you have.

  • You are comparing an ipad to a 2 year old entry level tablet?

  • Good tablet,l have no problem with it.

  • 7/15/2018 Pick up a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7 on Friday. Charged it to 100%. Powered on and went through the basic set up. Assigned my gmail address. Powered down. About an hour later Powered up and it there was a little delay. Didn't think too much about it. Did some more basic things. Powered down. From that point forward it would not Power up. Worked for less than two hours. Called Samsung support on Sat. They told me it was probably a hardware issue. I could either return it or send it in for repairs - would take 2 to 3 weeks. My comment: "returning it for a full refund and going to get an iPad'. The phone got real quiet for a moment.

  • The voice is VERY VERY LOW almost NIL. Tabout without voicentre is useless. Instead my experience with i BALL was VERY VERY GOOD it is half the price still it lasted for 4 complete years.

  • Yes. It's a very good tablet for anyone on a lower budget, but it's a good value for the price. The size is optimal for reading. playing games, browsing the internet and scrolling through social media. It is relatively quick and has a good processor. The back camera is very good, although the front one is not that great. One missing but very useful feature would be the flashlight, but I don't really mind using a tablet without one. The tablet has a very long life and is super sturdy. My kids have been using it for about 2 years, and it has not been damaged after many falls, crashes, and spills on it. Greatly recommended for anyone who needs a good tablet for a good price.

  • The most imp frature , Torch / light is not available with this device when i need. This feature is commonly available in a very cheep n low cost mob device

  • Good for browsing reading books etc. Good battery life. Not bad display. Smooth for light using

  • yes

  • Yes calling options available

  • Yes

  • can you use this tablet to make phone calls and receive them, if someone could tell me i would be grateful many thanks.

  • Had it for a year, cannot put too many apps on it as the ram and internal memory are limited. Ok for kindle reader or watching vids, email, Facebook, limited gaming ability and too small for use as a laptop if you have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

  • Work good since I bought it,no problem at all.

  • Yeah i have one myself and its great besides the storage interally isnt enough so i suggest you buy a micro sd card.

  • Yes. Just got one and it's not bad at all.

  • Guys.. Is it still worth it if you buy this tab today.? Because i kinda low in budget and that sucks.. Pls reply thanks in adavance :)

  • Partition your SD Card and make the tablet think it is Internal Storage.

  • To all, user's This tablet is good for education, however the Memory is low, it can only store about 2.0GB, however if you have an MicroSD Card, well your in luck, because you can store your application's to the SD Card, i recommend Class 4 SD Card, sometimes the device is slow, if it's slow it mean's some apps just used a lot of ram, however be thankful tha you got a Tablet, while others hasn't, also beware of fake sd cards!

  • I bought the phone in July 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand. In May 2018 the phone ceased to function. Just a black screen. I took it to the Samsung Service and they were able to boot it and run a diagnostic on it. The main board was faulty. It took three days to be repaired. It came back with notes that the main board was faulty and the battery was faulty. The phone was under warranty so there was no cost. The only fault I can find with the phone is that Samsung does NOT upgrade the OS on phones in Asia.

  • I brought it a year back and it suddenly stop.its speaker stop giving sound as well handfree also not connected. The voice came out sometimes and then suddenly stop I take the divice to customer service twice but they dont checked properly. Very bad customer service I must say . Is there anyone with solution I highly appreciated your help . I don't know where else I would take it for repairing

  • Totally agree with everything you said. I bought it 2 years ago not knowing it was just released. I figured "hey Samsung" trusted hardware with Google's software #whynot. If there's one thing I'll change about this device, it's the price point. Our should not exceed $50 USD honestly

  • Good tablet.....for me samsung devolope a good tab ...i liked

  • For the price, this tablet is the single worst Android device I have ever in my life laid my hands on; and I have years of experience with Android devices. After nearly two years of usage, this tablet is absolutely USELESS if you want to download more than five apps from the Play Store. With its embarrassing 8 gigabytes of storage, most of the space is taken by the OS and its stock apps (which, for most, you do not have the option to disable), leaving you with one or two gigabytes to store your apps and other media. Hope you have a MicroSD card. The 16:10 aspect ratio display is horrific for video recording (why would anyone record on this, anyway?), and Snapchat currently does not like that ratio. Since the beginning, it always had spontaneous stuttering, and at times, only a forced reboot can fix the issue—until next time it happens. You simply cannot use any midi devices on this thing! I am very dumb for trying, and I suggest you DO NOT PURCHASE THIS TABLET FOR YOUR MIDI DEVICES as it handles everything it does horrendously! Connecting most well-known MIDI keyboards will make it crash and reboot after a few minutes (less than 15) of use. Navigating the internet is super slow, videos on YouTube are no higher than 720p, it does not work with any other chargers (which might just be an issue with my tablet specifically), touch input is too slow for my needs (around 15ms on my calculations), touchscreen accuracy is terrible, and the speaker has an almost ear-damaging amount of treble with no low-end audibility. The only good thing about this tablet is the duration of the battery charge and its very bright display during daylight. Otherwise, horrible device; will prevent any friend or family member from purchasing!

  • This tab is really good in general i'm satisfied with the display althogh i dnt really know why its HD not FullHD but so good quality , both the cameras are good in day light not so in the house or the night both records 720p videos even the selfie it should com with flash thow, and 2 speakers insted just one, also the internal memory is not really enoughh it shoukd be 16 gb not just 8 gb So: really good display and bright/good cameras/nice performance in gaming/nice battery/really good loocking and beautifull design/ pure sound/nice 3g/4g .... Having fun with it😊😊😊&#1­28522;

  • yes. gd engh

  • yes

  • overall good. using and enjoying. backup and performance ok. cam, sound. but a little bit touch accuracy/laggy...u can ignore the prob. good for study and kids.

  • This tab i used about one years no any problam no battrey wasting very comfort and fast acting for my internet using.

  • Yes

  • Is this tablet good for studying and gameing?

  • Anyone use this for mobile legends? Is phone good enough to play 2 hours duration 720p quality video?

  • I can upgrade to the most current android versions

  • Yes

  • It is very bad tab.this tab display quality (picture & touch) is very bad.and other quality is not good. So samsung wasting its quality

  • This Tablet is good for light gaming,social networking n sending emails,reading books.If you like shooting photos please don't buy.

  • Does it has OTG support?

  • This Tab is the definition of a truly useless device. I have the T285 and it freezes, it lags, slow internet connection, unresponsive touch screen and storage space that gets full after downloading just 5 applications. I am so disgusted really.

  • Can't say your market availability but the tab having second slot for sim card is snapdragon variant.

  • It really Gus tab.since I didn't have any problems.

  • Slow. Leggy. Bad memory management. Worst android device I've owned. Got what I paid for eh.

  • Same as mine just went dead on me.. No clue as to what the problem is or whether it is going to be resolved.

  • Same as mine just went dead on me

  • Not having any of these problems on my tablet!

  • this tablet is good for smashing or hammeriing various things such as a glass table etc i like it because its big and can play lil pump music

  • I honestly can't find a good enough reason to buy a tablet unless they have S-Pen support. Smartphones today have a great screen and pack much more power, the point of a tablet to me is to be able to do things I can't do on my S8 for example. I know there's the Note 8, but for creative writing or taking extensive notes a phone feels clunky. I'm still rocking my Galaxy Tab A SM550 just because of how good it feels to write on it. Shame the resolution sucks. I have an eye for the Tab A 10.1 2016, but honestly, all I really want is a 1080p 8.0" 4g tablet with S-Pen support. Not going to happen, Samsung knows that some people can't live without the S-pen so we can only buy either a 6.4" $1000 phone, or their most expensive tablet Galaxy S3 (yes, the Tab A 2017 and 2018 series won't have S-pen support)...

  • Paying attention to price, it's suitable for ordinary staff & browsing.I'm satisfied from using it.

  • No

  • some time touch screen not responding correctly, or during charging. hardy press touch.

  • the worst tablet ever. super slow respond. it always froze and whenever i plug in cable, it will gave me problem. very insensitive tablet.

  • Does this tab can use for call?.

  • To the administration/moderator(s) maintaining the website, there is missing information with regards to the messaging features of this device. Under FEATURES >> Messaging, please include SMS (Threaded View) and MMS. For readers of the opinions section, the LTE version (SM-T285) of the tablet fully supports voice and video calls and is capable of sending and receiving Short Messaging Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messages, similar to a typical mobile phone. An earpiece is present above the SAMSUNG logo and dialing '*#0*#' in the Phone app confirms the presence of a grip sensor. The popular WhatsApp messaging platform installs successfully on the tablet as if it was a normal smartphone, which is something that cannot be done in most tablets. The tablet is equipped with an accelerometer but does not have a compass, so it is recommended to bring a compass or any other device with a compass along when using the tablet for navigation. Only the 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi and is supported, but download and upload speeds are nonetheless fast enough for some of the most common daily tasks, such as watching videos in 720p in the included YouTube app. Samsung included a 'Reading mode' which can be toggled on or off by the user of this tablet. Turning it on slighly reduces the display output of B in RGB. Some apps such as Google Play Books automatically turns on the mode, but it cannot be turned off while such apps are on the foreground. It is highly recommended to get a memory card for this device for storage of media files. Apps may also be partially transferred to the memory card via the Settings app. When playing videos from storage using the Video app and the framerate is lower than when played in other higher-end devices, it is recommended to edit the video to lower its resolution or decrease the audio bitrate. A Radio app is included by Samsung, which enables the user to listen to FM radio stations that broadcast to his or her area. The included Google Chrome app supports HTML5, while Samsung's Internet browser fails the HTML5 test at html5test.com. Using the device for quite some time, Samsung does update the tablet's security definitions although it does not support Samsung Knox. Despite the absence of Knox, Samsung promotes the tablet as a business device on its website. The stock virtual keyboard app by Samsung checks for spelling errors, but the cursor may jump from one part of a text to another at times when the text entered is large, so it is recommended to replace the stock keyboard with another app.

  • The Spreadtrum chipset is what hinders this, Arbin Isma.

  • Recalling that it has been relaunched in other regions like Galaxy Tab J and as Galaxy J Max (with the difference this last to have LED flash in the main camera):

  • I have no problem with this tablet,it's going good.

  • lol gave meh

  • I Dont Like this tab its totally garbage because i have no money for buy this

  • I have this tablet for 28th of June, and I didn't have any problems! Is it gonna get Android 6.0.1 or 7.0 Nougat? It's stuck with 5.1.1 Lollipop

  • Please Try Plam slide function on screen

  • For some reason now 'Power buttton + Home buttton' for print screen not working was work before. Tried factory reset not solve.

  • My tablet has frozen,it will not go off. What do i do.

  • yes = its in your WIFI settings for this option = find your WIFI and enter the password to connect :)

  • Is it connect to wifi???

  • sloooow

  • i bought this tablet for eBook reading. i also bought memory card but i hate it when i have to download all the books that i want to read over and over again because it adjust the memory space. Worst tablet ever. dont buy.

  • Slow. Low on memory.stuck on android 5. Regret buying. Android 6 update would be greathe for being able to better use SD card memory but Samsung seem unresponsive to all the requests.

  • You will find it on GALAXY APPS- default application on every samsung galaxy phone.

  • I downloaded my Samsung Music from ApkMirror

  • Can anyone here tell me what version (Snapdragon or Spreadtrum) is available in Pakistani market? I'm deeply interested in buying this tablet but I've heard nothing but horrible things about Spreadtrum SoC. I asked shopkeepers but they're unsure about the hardware. Thanks in advance.

  • No it's fine for me i don't have those issues

  • Nice but why it doesn't have samsung music player i tried to download it but didn't find it in play store so i have to play music with google play music app , & it's bad can anyone help me??

  • Reached tab 50. what's can i do mow?

  • It doesn't. I was looking for an adapter yesterday and asked the salesclerk to test it for me. She said that the device wasn't compatible.

  • Is it possible to connect the tab A to a multimedia projector. Pls help if anyone knows..

  • remove your sd card n restart and it will be fine then insert the card again

  • Worse tab ever... Big issues with the touch screen, not responsive, light bleeding and super laggy!! If restart the tab it will take forever to see the home screen... Sometime it will auto restart again for 2nd time... Btw i'm using t825 LTE model... This tab design is great but the cpu processor, internal storage, ram and limited function is absolutely garbage!!! I dont recommend any1 to buy this tab. The worse part is... There will be no update for this stupid tab, u will remain stuck with v5.1.1 forever...

  • I have the same problem,I can't update or download via wifi sometyms,and I don't knw y,can anyone help.

  • i have this phone and this is awesome tablet for its 7 inch nice screen, OTG, cheap price and lightweight UI. the cons are no more support to upgrade lollipop to marshmallow, no gyro, 8gb ROM. Prepare your self to buy SD card in large capacity

  • i have this phone and yes, it support otg.

  • most likey , if u can hear sounds coming out ot it but you cant see any picture then the LCD screen is broken or burned out.

  • Nice Tab A_6

  • I find it very "laggy" and agree with another post about the screen not smooth to the touch. I've also had 2 now that won't read the SD Card unless the slot is depressed which is not ideal.

  • What happens when u only get sound but no pitchure. Is it broken

  • This Friday I purchased SAMSUNG Tab A6, its quit good experience and I check with all feature, its good and also we can use as a phone.

  • Terrible touch screen, really not working like your phone or any other tablet. You have to 'depress' at every single touch. Even more, the glass is not smooth, it 'grabs' so it's not pleasant to swipe, move, or anything sliding your finger tip on the surface. Which makes this work like a device from the stone era. Not just unpleasant, it simply is not at the standard of a 2016 tablet. The problem is really the touch screen Samsung put on this tablet. I also have the Tab 4 7.0 with the TFT screen and the Tab 4 has a smooth and very responsive glass. The only good point of the Tab A 7.0 is the powerful speaker (much better than in the Tab 4) and the grippy back cover. But because of the terrible touch screen, it's a definitive no buy.

  • Are you sure it's not usable as a phone? I have a Samsung 9.7 inch with WiFi and 4G/LTE and I have no problems using it as a phone.

  • It's not a phone...

  • I like this phone, not so big yet not so small. One thing that i think what Samsung need to focus on is the camera / phooa quality and the internal memory. This type of phone only come with 8gb of memory which is really really low.

  • Sometime the Wifi is malfunctionning and email is jammed if you rotate the tablet!!! Where is the support?

  • Everything ok except no software upgrade still 5.1.1rrr

  • can this tab screen mirror ?

  • Im very happy with this tablet, no lag, no touch problems, no annoying things happen to me. It work beyond its prices.

  • Pros and cons from my experience using this (SM-T280) Pros 1.lightweight 2. Excellent battery life 3. Very good graphics 4. Not too much bloatware 5. Cheap Cons 1. Need to press hard for touch 2.Storage is limited (4gb user) 3. Music player missing (uses Google Play Music) I don't do games but light games can work (eg. FIFA Mobile)

  • Is tab a 2016 an otg?

  • Lollipop is the only official version that I know of. Though if you have the LTE version (SM-T285) you can upgrade to 7.1.2 (LineageOS) using a custom rom.

  • Well if you have the LTE version, you can update to 7.1.2 via custom rom

  • there's no update since it's a low-end tablet, samsung only cares about updates OLNY IN HIGH-END, but sometimes releases OS updates to mid-end devices... BTW, must "uptade" android via custom rom *cough cough* xda *cough cough*

  • So which is it? Does it support or does it not support Whatsapp? Appreciate a more concrete response.

  • So which is it? Does it support or does it not support Whatsapp? Appreciate a more concrete response.

  • Where did you get the upgrade to Marshmallow?

  • I need your assistance please, because I can't charge with solar chargers, ubs and other electricity chargers.

  • I think so my man

  • no

  • it supports otg.

  • Nougat for Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 ?

  • Can this run Whatsapp?

  • Sucsess

  • Only the model T285 has a sim slot.

  • Here are my tests for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7, model T280, on what concerns to battery life: Standby time, WIFI off: ~250 hours Standby time WIFI on: ~190 hours Radio via internet : ~30 hours Video via internet: ~6 hours In standby it is a disappointment when compared to model T230 - while T230 loses 3% of battery charge, this new T280 loses 7%.

  • buy t285, cause it has Wi-fi & SIM and you can use the net from the phone SIM, no need to use the public/hotel wi-fi which is always very dangerous. I bought it last summer, and I am very happy with it. Wherever I go, I use the GB I have on my phone bill. YOU cannot play Fbook games on it, without installing Adobe smth.

  • The design is very good, Battery well is good enough. The sound and camera are good too. There is no flash from back camera. Unable to move some apps to Micro SD. The internal memory is low. I cannot change the name of BLUETOOTH and edit the destination folder during blue tooth.

  • Reinstall Kit Kat, not only will the response be back to instant, but the battery life will be back to normal, as will the charging times.

  • Bad touchscreen response, I bought one and I thought that was that fault so I went to the shop and replace it with the same one. And I had the same issue again... sometime is getting very annoying. You have to press ahead button to make it response. My old t280 is much much better.

  • My t285 (international) does in fact have a phone w t mobile service.

  • some one konws if this device could be uploaded to android 6.0?

  • I don't recommend this tablet if you are particular with battery charging. It takes 5-6 hours to fully charged the battery. But if you don't care the charging issue, the specs is good.

  • I really enjoy the process from transferring from my iPad to this Samsung Tablet. It is big simple and easy to use

  • Could it function as a phone.

  • Can someone recommend a more recent, updated 7" tab wit features similar to that of T285 for use in T-Mobile in USA? I want 4G/LTE capable of used as a cellphone. Thanks.

  • power buton + home buton

  • I purchased tab A.befor 1week.so far good performing good.How can I take screenshots with this tab..? Anybody can help me..please

  • But that doesn't work for screen mirroring and casting streaming audio.

  • Is this tablet worth anything.i paid 90 dollars for one

  • Use LocalCast app, solved my problem

  • We bought two and we are downright upset that we did. The tinny mono speaker really stinks (they expect us to use headphones or external speakers every time we want to watch a quick video? For this much money there should be stereo speakers). There are no sensors for auto brightness and auto screen timeout and no compass. But the thing that ticks me off the most is that it isn't compatible with Chromecast and it doesn't see/can't be seen by other Samsung devices such as Samsung Smart TV's and Blu-Ray players (Samsung's response to me is that it just wasn't designed to do these things). So forget about displaying pictures or videos anywhere other than the crummy screen this tablet has. We've head cheap no-name tablets that were much better in all these respects. However I will say that the RAM is ample enough to run several things at once, unlike some of the cheap generic tablets we've had, but the built-in 8GB storage fills up awfully quickly.

  • T 285 Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 CPU paired with Adreno 306 GPU T 280 Spreadtrum SC9830 CPU paired with Mali-400MP2 GPU

  • T280 with WIFI only T285 with GSM + WIFI

  • How can the micro sim be inserted?

  • How do you root the tablet?

  • this is support for volte

  • The SM-T280 (TAB A 7.0 2016) comes with a great stand alone Digital FM Radio using just Earphone cables as antenna.

  • You should be able to use some kind of app like app2sd (used to work well, not sure anymore) so you can have all your applications on a separate sd cards. It still have 8 go, It shows around 4 because of the OS (Android) taking some memory space.

  • The base memory 8go, in fact 4go ,is not enough for my usage .sd card cannot accept a lot of apps .I root my tab tout avoid this problem but not so easy to use

  • SM-T280 is WiFi only. SM-T285 is WiFi / LTE, International version. Not sure, but I don't believe the LTE bands are compatible with US carriers.

  • I have a SM-T280, silver. Purchased from Best Buy November 2016. It has FM radio, and the FM app is a built in Samsung app. The specs listed here show No FM radio. Not sure if early models had FM or not.

  • No it doesn't support a pen.

  • Does anyone know if this support any digital pen?

  • Can anyone tell me what the diffrent between T285 and T280 ? Is that have a diffrent chipset ?

  • Just bought mine and have no complaints other than it has no cellular features to set up a data plan. Awesome tablet

  • how many hours are my suppose to charge it goes low battery

  • it got this tablet to model Apprenticeship section 280 not not spend memory card and Europeans with Spreadtrum SC9830 packages are not slightly

  • Very slow, good if you do reading

  • Put a micro sd card,root the tablet and transfert the apps to the sd card.

  • New, and the kid's mode doesn't work. Why put something that won't function?

  • Yes. On about device if your device is SM-T285 it is, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 specifically, although you have to do some personal research on Google because gsmarena hasn't specified it all here specifically.

  • So far well pleased with this. Battery is brilliant. Compared to the last tablet I had. The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 which was awful it lagged and was heavy. They boasted about the battery lasting 20 hours. Never even lasted 5 minutes when it went down to 96 % then within 25 minutes was at 88 %. Only seemed to stay at 100% when u didn't use it. What's the point of having a tablet if u can't use it. This one is brilliant and cost the same price. Sticking with Samsung.

  • Is this tablet protected by any Screen protecor like corning gorilla glass or tempered glass?

  • Please advised does this tap suppor samsung Micro 128gb sd card evo-plus?

  • Different Countries, Different Models, Different Processors of Tab A 2016... I just wished they would all be the same with the s410 so that all of us could experience the satisfaction and smoothness of the device... Because as i can see, tab a6 with spreadtrum processor are so slow while with s410, it's really fast...

  • I purchased it and it is one of the smoothest and faster 7'' tabs I have ever used. In fact I got it for my son and all the games are working perfectly on it without any delay or slow-response. The just is just perfect for kids aged between 4-7 years old. As for older kids, they can get the 10.1 inch model which is quite fast and more powerful.

  • Not true. I use it. Runs perfectly

  • All games are quite smooth accept clash of clans

  • Yes I tried couple of times,it works fine and fast

  • On my tab clash of clans is very slow and leggy....what is the reason...????..in the beginning of the game it is very good but after connecting to the Google play games....my tab getting slower

  • Been using this for more than a few months. Have to say its better than what you pay. It gets most of my work done with ease. Internal memory used the only issue though. Ps: anyone know how to root this device? And is it gonna get Marshmallow??

  • yes mine tablet has the same problem

  • I have tab A, there is 2 problem on it, the front camera is better than rear camera, and other thing is, it is not charging its battery from Personal computer when you connect it to PC

  • Happy weekend peeps and good morning I now user tab 4 lte and would like to change to Samsung galaxy tab A lte Due to appstore. I can't download WhatsApp for free. I need to download WhatsApp tables and need to pay.

  • Can i root this tabket is it essy to root like the tab 3 v?

  • Hai guys, really need u guys help and opinion. Between Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) and Galaxy Tab J (2016), which is better to buy? Im confuse to get it because the specs seem similiar to me.😅

  • 8GB how many left for user?

  • yes OTG runs, clash of clans so fast and many games, fastest on all

  • Has anyone tried USB OTG on this?

  • How good Samsung a 7.0 for gaming?like GTA, dead trigger 2, modern combat 4/5,& clash of clans?

  • The tablet is ok for the price. Large amounts of screen bleed at the top of the screen (i.e. the "Samsung" logo edge) which is disappointing!

  • The tablet is ok for the price. Large amounts of screen bleed at the top of the screen (i.e. the "Samsung" logo edge) which is disappointing!

  • The number of core does not directly affect the performance of the phone. Only the gpu part is responsible for 3D games.

  • Not sure about phantom 4, but if it supports android you probably shouldn't have any problems. My Tab A runs Autel Starlink flawlessly, with exceptional of some issue with the GPS interfacing with the app. Starlink looks quite similar to the Dji app from what I have seen of it.

  • Ionly have this for 3 days.., THIS PHABLET REALLY WORKS!!! IT LITERALLY DOES!!! I thought it would lag that much because of only quad-core,but i play Marvel Future Fight, it plays smoothly!!! Good screen resolution, right size-7.0", good battery life!!! Downside: Longer charging time,speaker is not that much loud,but its okay,and when i open the box, NO HEADSET INCLUDED!!! YOU MUST BUY HEADSET!!! Still I RECOMEND THIS TO EVERYONE!!! VERY CHEAP PRICE!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!

  • anybody knows if this will work as a controller for the Phantom 4 drone?

In terms of performance its very average. But in videos and fm music it has a very good reception. Videos are very decent for a x800 resolution. Over all i like it specially the battery.

  • How can i get it pls?

  • which one is better.....galaxy tab a 7.0(2016) or galaxy j max...........????????help please

  • Which better samsung galaxy tab A 7.0 or asus zenpad 380KL ? Anyone know ?

  • Is it MHL compatible? Which generation or cable type? Thanks in advance.

  • Plz tell me I have the Samsung Galaxy tablet t285 can I put marshmallow 6.0 software on thx

  • Totally agree. Just bought one last Saturday and think it may well be going back. Doesn't support S-Pen and fibre tip stylus is next to useless on it. Bought it as an upgrade for my Nexus 7 and not even in the same league.

  • Is it me or just the touch response on this tablet id kinda slow or funky.

  • If we turn on display after standby mode display,fery slow respond display for about 5 second from we push button power.

  • If you connect WiFi to a 3G/4G cellphone, working as a mobile hotspot, then yes it should work.

  • In Indonesia Come with Spreadtrum Shark LS Chipset For LTE version..really make me sad..Samsung!!!..we are wait for Snapdragon 410 Version Not For Spreadtrum!!!

  • Hate this particular tab cause it uses half of the allocated storage for system memory and is impossible to root

  • Wow. This tablet is almost a copy-paste of the Tab J and the J Max. Really. J Max: Same battery, resolution, SoC+ RAM »(except for the S410 variant), while it has better camera, OTG and radio support. Tab J: The same as J Max but can record in 1080p. The designs are the same, the size are the same and their weight is about the same! You really could go for the Tab J, but the A 7.0's screen technology is better (IPS)

  • Nice Tablet. great options really amazing

  • Hiis this the samsung galaxy tab 3 A6?? If not can you give me a link what It looks like.

  • Im a bit concern on its 8gb RAM, is it enough? I mean, can I transfer facebook etc to microSD? From my other phone it is not possible. Only apps with small file size do. Or it is only me who dnt know how? Pls anyone comment on this? I really want this tab because it fits my budget:)

  • Yes it have OTG, i tried keyboard and flash drives, it works nice.

  • No it doesn't. It's not the best tablet but worth the price. I bought one 2 weeks ago.

  • Does this tab have NFC??

  • Just wanna ask if it is compatible for otg? Coz my galaxy a5 fone is not. Just wanna make sure before i buy.. tnx!

  • It wOrks,im using it with 4G GSM card and so far im surprised with this tablet performance, it's has decent performance for the price and it's worth the price

  • Is there a chance that this Tab will get android 6 update.

  • DoeS 4g gsm card works on this?

  • I plan to buy this just to play Clash Royale. Is it okay using this tablet? Responsiveness is everything for this purpose.

  • Next to tab on the side top left

  • I have not tried it but looking at the specs it should work as it runs on Android 5.1 and has a 800x1280 display.

  • T280 is a wifi only version

  • where do you insert the sim card?

  • Am wondering can i connect to tv with this one? That screen mirror thing?

  • not a wifi only tablet like this

  • not unless you purchase it from a cellphone store and a data plan

  • I wish to know if it takes SIM CARD to make or recieve calls

  • Bought this tab today. I loving it. Very fast!

  • It's not IPS display , it has TFT display please post the proper description .

  • I don't understand all the negative comments here from people who haven't even used this tablet. It's a great tablet for its price point. If you want better specs or performance, then spend more for a more expensive one. People are comparing this cheap tab with the iPad LOL, this is getting ridiculous. This is good enough for reading, watching videos, playing some games, Facebook, messaging, etc. And it also functions as a phone for texting and calling.

  • hey anonymous! can u plz plz tell me that does the tab a 7.0 plays hi graphics games like gta,gangster vegas etc and which is better option this or samsung tab e 9.6 w8ng for your rply

  • can i use it to make a call? like a phone

  • I think you should have your eyes and ears checked? This is an excellent product and beats the crap out of IPad.

  • Ahmed sarwar! bro does it plays gta??

  • How long this tab take for full charge ?

  • more like the Tab4

  • Great tab. Works very well. Wide screen and Wi-Fi connections are excellent and it has huge memory level, and you can also use a memory card if your memory runs out. It also has very specially designed battery. Definitely should buy it

  • Exellent tab with a desent camera and touch is also smooth and gaming is also best i recommend this tab to everyone if u want a low budget my rating 10/10..

  • Have u tried samsung galaxy tab s and tab s2? Tab s2 is not a crap.. i know s2 got the battery downgrade. But it got enough performa for last a day and a half.. (no gaming), and i love the weight of s2. Moreover the battery is not heat very easily. And the fingerprint r superb against tab s.. for me s2 r better. While this tab A, u can't compare them with tab s. Did u see the price?

  • T280 - wifi only

  • Its funny how the tab S of 2 years ago is better than the tab S2 released last year and also this crap. Shame on you Samsung!

  • in malaysial RM799.

  • I actually switched fm tab s2 8.0 to tab a 7.0 (2016) mainly due to convenience of a 7.0 inch size. Though both s2 8.0 & tab 7.0 a is LTE & able to make calls, tab a 7.0 can be held to the ear instead of using ear piece only. Definitely tab a 7.0 performance & speed quality is much inferior to s2 8.0. However, i'm surprised that tab a 7.0 is smooth and cam is of decent quality. Music is also loud & clear. Overall, it's exceed my expectation & im very pleased with it.

  • Very good product. It functions as a tablet and as a phone. I have the T285 version white colour.

  • 285

  • In my SM-T280 (WIFI) the system on a chip (SOC) is the Spreadtrum SC2880.

  • What are the difference between this two models? (T280 and T285)... Which is best?

  • Good One This Tab Available @ 2 Models T280 (Wi-Fi only) T285 (4G/Wi-Fi)

  • Why are everyone complaining about the design and spec of Samsung product. If I'm to complain its not samsung it has to be apple. Apple is releasing same product every year with unbelievable price tag and idiot people still buy it. What's wrong with you people?

  • Apply on 64bit.

  • ips lcd dispay or tft lcd display?

  • 200 usd

  • Please fix Chipset information - it uses "Spreadtrum T-Shark2A / SharkLS"

  • yes otg is working

  • Thanks.

  • kernel 32 or 64?

  • support usb otg ?

  • Yes..

  • Similar to tab 3 from 3 years ago

  • So what is ur feed back now for it ?

  • Does it support OTG ????

  • where can i find this device in Uganda

  • Is there sim tab?

  • Whst will the price of Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016)

  • Have it for a week now - dissapoitment from tab 4 - huge screen light bleeding - mostly on corners - plan to return it. The screen is sometime unresponsive.

  • Have the tab for one week and I say its the best one so far, but looking to buy the TAB S2.

  • I plan to buy this tab.

  • Have this for 3 days now, white color, wonderful design, so slim nd vibrant display, love the 4G LTE, plan to buy the black color too

  • I plan to buy this tab. I trust samsung always a better choice. Well, if you guys dont know how to use this kind of devices, go get others brand. It would be ok for you then.

  • So go and get yourself a surface...

  • Non-removable Li-Ion 4000 mAh battery please read

  • No S Pen? Then what so different to tab 4?

  • Hurr durr...!! Even a cheap tablet like Lenovo Phab is better than this device. No 1080p recording ability even in 2016. Just what the hell those engineers of Samsung smoking?

  • Why this tablet has removable battery.

  • Yes for those who want more storage there is the tab a 8.0 and for those who want a better camera there is the tab s2

  • SD410 CPU clock is 1.3GHz. is it right? Does anybody knows the correct info.?

  • review it soon gsmarena...

  • Is this really released and available in market?? i am unable to find it online

  • Why Samsung why. It can be an amazing tablet considering it price point but only 8gb internal storage out of which only 4 gb will be usable..It is just not usable.Sd card is there most big apps are not moveable to sd card. This tablet is useless with only 8gb ROM. Samsung should have included atleast 16gb. Its 2016 and 8gb is just not usable.

  • that's one ugly design

  • With only 8GB internal storage and running Lollipop, memory will soon run out. Don't buy. System software will take up about 4GB of memory.

  • Well.. I don't know... Because I'm expecting something else for 2016 version.. Like 8MP, 267 dpi (at least) or octacore... I'm sorry I'm just day dreaming hahah silly of me xD

  • Hi, its not bad to shoot photos with Tablet. .especially during the holiday with family or in construction area ect. . .every people have their own preference. It is good because the up to date smart device can do almost all in one such as reading news, videos player , camera, recorder, map, checking weather , calling and doing social media ect. . At the moment Google translate plays an important role too. .that is why using tablet is very convinience . Nowaday the smartphone and tablet can use as camera even it is not professional one but it is good enough for capturing photos and sharing them on time...

  • Who shoots photos with a tablet ? It looks ridiculous when someone tries to shoot photos with a tablet.

  • i need a 12 inch tablet and specs should same as galaxy s7 edge and have an ir blaster . plus 6gb ram ..

  • nice device, just waiting for it on the market.

  • rumor has it that it supports us lte bands hopefully band 4 since that what tmo uses in my area. i hope this is the replacement for the t235y i bought in 2014. will have to see if their is any variant like their was the tab4 had like 3 i think, wifi, wifi+ branded lte ( insert your provider here ) and internation lte that supports voice and text... i love mt t235y that supports making voice calls and text's, wish it had band 4 for 4glte but best in usa one can get is 3g+

  • So it's just a 7 inch version of the one released in 2015. More choice is better I guess.

  • Nice tablet. It will be better if Samsung upgrade its camera to 12 mega pixel with LED flash ( it is 2016 special edition :). I saw that Apple will release Tablet Ipad Pro (2016) with 12 MP camera, its a very good news because nowaday people focus on camera also before buying smart device. Samsung should not wait anymore and should release new tablet with new feature plus upgrade the camera too.. Now i am using Galaxy tab S 8" , i will go for the latest one if it is available in the market but the new device should not have the same feature like the previous one.

  • very nice

  • Customer want to activate data service. Customer not interested to use data. Customer side No Response :: thrice time informed then call drop by my side

  • What an absolute piece of junk, 720p camera in 2016, are you kidding me? Better buy a Mediapad X1 or HP Slate7 VoiceTab Ultra rather than this tablet.

  • Invent ur own product then..i guess sammy various range of product meet the needs of certain people with different budget..just imo

  • Very powr full..

  • day by day with waste products samsung losses its reputations y dnt u think innovatively to new products

  • First of all I love Samsung products because it lasts long but the pricing is not that great. I don't know what Samsung is trying to do with this FUCKING tablet. It will be great if the pricing is less than rs 8000 .

  • Samsung? are you kidding? why you make more than 150models per year but more than 90% are the same and boring?????????!!!!!!!!!! we are in 2016 this specs are laughable. and this is not only problem. other problem is the design. all of Samsung models from flagships to entery level have 2 or 3 design.now you make A series and all of them are copy of last year A8. shame on you samsung

  • Looks exactly the same as my Tab 3 Lite. Nothing different

  • this makes me laugh. Go for Xiaomi Mipad2 if you want a good tablet for a good price.

  • WTF is this piece of shit!?!?!?! There is LITERALLY no difference between this and the 2015 model, well except for the fact that they're both shit. I'd rather Samsung to just leave the Tab A line-up alone than to pointlessly re-update it. Probably did it just for more profit.

  • This mainly made for kids,tiny chipset,nano ram and micro camera nothing average except Battery may be reach 2 hours.

  • What you guys have to keep in mind, is that this is probably not meant to be a high end device, it's a mid range tablet to appeal to those who can't afford high end devices, Samsung maybe trying to branch out and get a market they couldn't appeal to before. Stop flaming so hard and try taking others into consideration.

  • ⬅100 eu for this shit.

  • that will be $1000

  • I totally agree with you, it's a tab, it should have at least 2GB.

  • 1.5 GB ???? are you kidding me? my 2years old phone have 3GB RAM. sammy...it's 2016 NOW

  • you want proper tablet? buy the z4 or z3 tablet,or z3 compcat tablet

  • If this specs are fantastic then you are either totally blind or comming from dark stone age. This slow crappy shit have nothing fantastic as a some guy here in chat said low end phone. In this case very low. Many tablets in era before 2010 was faster better more reliable. Only new is Marshmallow.

  • dear Sammy, pls make it AMOLED display, 4G ram, snapdragon 820, 5000mAH, 32 internal storage, 16 mega pixel rear cam... sound like a flagship, it's just my wish list..

  • Fantastic phone. Just used it for 1 hour with marshmallow 6.0.1. Its a new world out there. The speed, and smooth interface. Fast charging. It really worth the upgrade from say s3 or s4. Design is cool. No slipping in hands. Screen is a beauty. Believe me APPLE have some big big catching up to do.

  • is 200GB sd card so important??????????!!!!!!!!!! that capacity is useful for gadget those record video in 2k or 4k not for low end devices.also this new tablet has no thing new just sammi changes the name and all specs seen before in many samsung tab. please thinking and then writing.little think can help you all.if the price is about 150$ it can be my next tab(my tab E resets many times and when got it to Samsung branch they find a very small line in one corner and said me you dropped the tab and ..... :( and I swear I didn't).... now I'm searching for new tab and this can be my next one

  • Hello .. Well said .. 200 gb sd card, Autofocus, and USB OTG is mainly Depending on Chip type and Software . You can understand the stuff.. Is it support LTE no problem . It is also depend on chip encoding . Samsung is making New French wine in Old French glass Bottle . But people like Old French wine only Not The Old French wine glass .. I think samsung is The Biggest Manufacturer Cum Remanufacture in The World .. They made Thousand of mobiles. Hundreds of Mobile Sold . Hundreds of mobikew back to the factory . Again they Remanufacture spare parts of those mobiles You need not worry about this stuff . If you like this configuration . You can go to purchase . Becoz samsung give the Two year warrenty on their mobile . So take care on your warrenty card Best of luck my friend ..

  • Hello, the Tab A isn't exactly the same as the Tab 4. You don't get GSM, a Snapdragon processor on the older device. You only get up to 32 GB of SD card support, compared to 200 GB on the Tab A. You also get an AF 5 MP man camera compared to a fixed focus 3 MP on the Tab 4. If they lower the price of the Tab A 7.0 it would be a deal breaker for me.

  • No its not the same..tab A comes with stylus, support LTE, and better camera quality

  • IT IS TOTALLY SAME AS GALAXY TAB 4 7.0 SM-T230 (2014). and we are in 2016 now .... Samsung is totally ripping, fooling, cheating customers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • I mean galaxy tab 4 7"

  • Come on sammy. It's old galaxy tab 3 7" with small increment in camera resolution :(

  • 8GB is not enough, my old samsung tab is 16GB, I'm not heavy user but still using around 6GB.

  • No $400

  • let me guess.. $300 ?

  • lol android 5.1.1 in y.2016

  • Sammy cmmon release it worldwide, i need these for my kidz

  • are you serious table must contain USB otg support here no waste
