  • My Tab is not working but screen in on .

  • Love it. Great battery life. Fast. Would recommend. Although the camera is bad

  • excellent performance . using for 2 years , yet working in good condition . ماشا&­;#1575;الل&#17­29; battery working properly . I strongly recommed this tablet . باقی آپ کی مرضی ۔

  • poor battery... automatically restarts everytime when i play a video or do anything like opening apps etc ..., it restarts even when the battery is 72 % charged..works properly when on charging ... , heating problem * though it was a very good tab .. but then these problems occured and made me uncomfortable and so irritated that i am giving my reviwes here . it is costly and then it works like this 😐... if there is any solution to solve this problem ..please guide !

  • I had the same issues it a simple case of the battery connector is lose. Until I took it to a repair shop and it was fixed

  • Hi guys, my issue is that my Tab A if I disconnect it from charging it starts to turn off and on and never ending till I plug it again. I just buy it past year but now it stopped working pls help?

  • I accidentally inserted my micro sd in the sim slot. I am in Can Tho, Vietnam. What do i do

  • Guys, I want to know if I upgrade to Nougat from Marshmallow, would that slows the tablet? Cause this works still fine with Marshmallow. Also I heard some say there's a sound issue with the upgrade. Can someone say what are the pros and cons after upgrade?

  • Mine is still working fast since i update it to 7.1.1 and im using it since 2015 the only isseu is the battery it drains fast it only last for 2 hours.

  • I have no problems with mine. But then the one I have is the lte one. I have notice it is not slow,in anything I throw at it. Games,you Tube videos etc. Have no idea how people had up dated to 7.0 and 7.1,when I check for soft wear updates it tell me it is up to date. Unless people are rooting it. Most tablets have only 2 gigs of ram anyway.

  • Like all cheap samsung tablet, they use the worst components to build it. Super slow memory storage and ram chips. Then people blame android. No, the problem is not android, it's samsung!

  • Can it be charged. In Thailand.

  • After 2 years: Wow this thing is very slow. The battery only degraded a bit but the speed has been degraded too much, especially since nougat update. The only good thing about this tablet is its battery and display.

  • Can I use the s pen anybody.......

  • Will it get oreo update?

  • Bought my T355 when I was transiting in Dubai airport last Nov. 2015 and now Feb. 2018 and still using it. OS already upgraded to Nougat lastyear. I love the qwerty keys it has a Del. Backspace, Left & Right scroll keys..

  • I used for 1.5 years no any charging problem.. but battery drain little bit than before.

  • Same with me..

  • Charge is very fast for first 5 months only 6th month it become slow .now 8th month it's dead slow .

  • Slow and unresponsive, this is a sluggish piece of tech which may look all impressive but falls flat on its face with even the simplest demands 1.5/5 rating

  • How long this device battery life? Using this for about 1,5-2 years, and it start to charge very very slow... Anyone here have the same problem? Thanks.

  • My Tab A received Android 7.0 update. It made the tablet absolutely useful. I wonder whether the 9.6" model received the update too.

  • nice tab but calling speaker missing . i am using galaxy tab a 8.0 have calling speaker.Ilove Samsung

  • Install Clean Master and other securitiy app..

  • CPU: Snapdragon 410 8916 GPU: Adreno 306

  • The buttons on the back are for accessories like a case to get attached and yah they r strong

  • Anyone notices if the audio sound suddenly got lower after updating Tab A to Nougat?

  • What's the button on the back?

  • I received galaxy tab A for xmas. It charged no problem but battery died and now it wont charge. Just get a temperature gauge and charge at 0%, Anyone know what is happening or what am I doing wrong???

  • i purchase it 2 years ago ....still i am using no heating issue ,no slow , recently android 7.1.1 updated it become faster then before...best tablet ever

  • mine is lagging its slow af and the battery drain fast can someone help me it also over heat when i was just browsing on home screen like wtf it im just browsing on homescreen and its already over heating

  • Got this tablet for my son 1.5 years ago. He's been using it without issues. The Nougat (Android 7) update is great. No issues seen. It does feel slightly faster with Nougat. Unlike a certain other company that slows down their older devices with OS updates.

  • These are some missing specs details. CPU: 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ 8016 GPU: Adreno 306

  • Anyone doesn't reply to me. But i decided toupdate it to nought.. It's superb.!! No any lagging, heating or any other problem.. superb new features added. Aslo my tab speed was increased. The awesome is the auto brightness senser issure that had on tab A8 now resolved. It' working fine. I invite all to update ur device to nought.

  • Is it have any problem with 7.1.1 nought update..??? (Over heating, lagging, fast btry drain etc.)

  • Awesome I'm glad that it just updated to 7.1.1 because I literally just purchased it for $119 brand new from Best Buy and got a 2-year warranty for my son he will love it my phone is a phablet so I don't need a tablet and it has Oreo Android 8.0

  • This tablet is now available for NOUGAT 7.1.1 update.

  • This device just upgraded to 7.1.1

  • Hi I want to know whether it is 4g and it supports otg

  • When is the nougat update for Philippines

  • you can update it by going software update

  • this tab is suberb.it can be updated to (7.0.1nougat).thumbs up to samsung for this superb tab.

  • This tablet just got updated to Android Nougat 7.1.1! For a low end tablet, getting TWO major Android upgrades (From Lollipop, to Marshmallow, to Nougat) is outstanding! My Tab A feels like new again.

  • You can get the nougat from sammobile Russian version. I already updated my Samsung Tab A 8.0 (2015). I'm here at Saudi Arabia.

  • yup, total look changed, feeling using like new tab.

  • I also updated My Indian Version T355Y by downloading 7.1.1 Firmware from Samsung Firmware website and Flashed through Odin.The new Ui is outstanding.

  • India n model 355Y

  • Finally, Received Nougat Update for my Galaxy Tab A 355Y Cheers!!!

  • Which model of Tab A 8.0 you have?Where do you live?How you got It Update To 7.1.1 Nougat On Tab A 8.0

  • I just got 7.1 today on mine

  • I noticed on mine, when battery starts at 52% below ,it will restart to itself randomly on any app i use.Anyway will try that,thank you😊

  • It happened to me while using Youtube. Full charge device, press powerbutton and hold for 30 seconds. Also update that app during use of which, it restarts. I had updated Youtube.

  • Can this tab upgradeable to nougat

  • My tab A p355 keeps on restarting randomly.Anyone knows how to fix this issue?I already tried reset factory settings but it didn't help

  • The restart/reboot/bootloop is the number 1 nightmare! Upgrded to Marshmellow battery drain fast and heating up! And other problems! Regret buying this product. :(

  • Are we gonna receive a Nougat update on this?

  • It depends on the hardware. If the Chinese Tab has an intel Hardware then it will likely be reliable. I've a Chinese Tablet, Haier Y11B with Intel Core M Dual-Core processor and it's been SUPER FAST and reliable so far!

  • there are Chinese tablets with Windows and Android from Chuwi HiBook Pro with price around 200$ but their reliability is questionable

  • Hi, does this tablet has proximity sensor?

  • Hi, Recently I heard that Samsung has stopped the manufacturing of this tablet. Is it TRUE?? If so, will it affect the servicing of this tablet if any issue arises?

  • pls what is the price n can I order online n receive it in Ghana. Thank u

  • Am looking for a travel alternative to a laptop. As an author, need MS Word to write or edit documents; use social media FB, LinkedIn. Google maps. I hardly play any games. Not interested in films or music. Is there any tablet below Rs 20,000 anyone recommends? TIA

  • Yes it is.

  • Is this upgradable to marshmallow?

  • Ur Lying. U can even watch2 full movies w/ these Tablet

  • I have Tab A it was in marshmallow but I am using in Lolipop 5.0.2.It's work fine though.

  • I read almost all the posts above, and I am writing this review after my first one year use of this tablet. Externally as a whole this tablet is good for reading, Web searching, making notes, lectures, playing light games. The only thing I felt was bad for this tablet was that it was packed with a tft display with a very low pixel density. I used to play heavy games like NFS No limits with a small delay while moving throw menu. Battery in this tablet stands pretty good, I was able to get almost 4 to 5 days of charge in simply keeping it as a alarm device. Some oneven in the above command said that we cannot plug otg in, but I tried and I am now using a 32gb SanDisk cruiser glide 3.0 Pendrive with this tablet. Camera is good at day light buy losses clarity significantly during low lighting. Over all this is the only tablet that we can get for such a low price(excluding the tablet from xiomie and other Chinese company).

  • there is anyone have experience or use it as GPS?

  • This is 2015 model review. Yes my 2015 Tab A does use USB On The Go cable for write / read of USB memory drives.

  • Does it use OTG?

  • This tab has a good ram and storage. This tab is good for gaming and use microsoft word,excel,powerpoint. Good device to use.

  • I bought this tablet just a few days ago. All other features are good except the 4200MAH battery which drains really fast. If you are looking for a tablet with good battery at this price range, this is not the best choice.

  • stop telling people what to do, mr self important. he was simply sharing the fact it is a slow cpu, and not designed for gaming.

  • stop complaining about games and graphics they are cheap tabs for those who cannot afford high end tabs or for people e.g old people who might check Facebook, daily news,play cards and chess. watch movies if that's all its hundred percent perfect. if u want heavy gaming , great pictures, great graphics go for the Tab S series. you buy a tab depending on what u need it for light usage I recommend this over high end tabs cause u save money.

  • The auto brightness senser does not working correctly inn dark. No problem in bright place.

  • Crappy 1024x768 screen looks terrible, and really bad CPU for games, I get really low FPS on anything slightly demanding

  • Is there any possibility of this device to get nougat update 7.0

  • I love the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, its screen is very vibrant and bright, although it is not an AMOLED. Had to get screen fixed once, dropped from about 2 feet of bed, shattered screen. Otherwise great device and would recommend to and young or old people.

  • Yes screen mirroring with miracast works fine.

  • The galaxy tab A 8.0 is so grate device for me because the design and durable because my devices how many times to fall but my device has no damage and I update to android marshmallows more beautiful especially the design of the app i love it

  • It has Marshmallow, Please update.

  • does it have problems with any application? ex: google maps ... does it not automatically closes any applications? thank you

  • I have been using tab a 8 for over two year now still run great.

  • I am using this tab for past 1 year and 6 months no problem running good definitely I would suggest this tab to everyone no heating issue somewhat updates come a little bit slow but not that slow best tab

  • hi ina, yes it is. the best tablet that i ever have. no issue in all terms. im still using it and it tuned a year to me. im using it for my business. its battery is still last for more than 16hrs using under wifi. fb and games plus videocall in messenger.

  • Yes,it is available in jharkhand.

After using for 5-10 mins it gets heated up Rest it is a great tab with android version 6.0 Can anyone suggest something for the blinking issue ?

  • sometimes net getting disconnected...please help me

  • With any mobile device (wifi or data), having push notifications turned on can decrease battery life. Another factor is how bright you have the display (which my experience has been this is more of a drain that notifications) can effect battery charge intervals. I would also periodically end task on things that are running in the background.

Pleas help me.

  • I would like the admin to add into specifications about this product that its not just Lollipop is installed. As of October 2016 I bought this product and newly installed Marshmallow was pre-installed. I asked the Samsung employee and they mentioned new Galaxy Tab A 8.0 LTE will have Marshmallow pre-installed.

  • Does it has scratch proof gorilla glass screen

  • Am in need of galaxy j5 screen.pls

  • Samsung galaxy Tab a sm t355y very good tab

  • It's the software that caused it. I've a Tab S 8.4 and since lollipop update I've been getting horizontal lines, flickering screen and it restarts by itself. The best you can do it, use it on power saving mode. It helps a little. Then after marshmallow update, it gets worse. Now, sometimes I don't even have cellular network. This is really pain in the a**. You can google lollipop/marshmallow problems, they've the same problems.

  • Is it support 4G. Jio sim is not working in my tab

  • Yes this tablet has a screen mirroring capability... use the smartview.

  • Yes it has screen mirroring capability.

  • The game is bit low fps compare to lenovo tab 3 8.0. you can check on youtube to clarify this model comparison.doesnt have Splash resistant,means that this samsung model are not durable even it has good looking design.not a good tablet for its price. if you android gamer,don't buy this model.

  • Go for the settings ..

  • Does this tablet has screen mirroring

  • Very heavy.

  • Snapdragon 400, if anyone wanted to know.

  • Marshmallow can be installed

  • How to update to 6.0 ?

  • whether This tab Support HD version? How to install 6.0.l marshmellow with this tab?

  • How did u install it.

  • so sad news..after upgradation..in my samsung Tab A SM T355Y mobile network in setting is missing.👀👀👀 so I can't use Reliance Jio .. so plz help..any other upgradation and setting can change...

  • i like it it can be update version 6.0.1

  • 4g

  • Awesome no issues dected so far with marshmallow ...

  • You must factory reset. 😉

  • Does this tab comes in two variants- 1.5gb RAM and 2gb RAM???

  • It is expandable up to 128 gb

  • My tab 8.0 w/spen is updated to marshmallow. Lately the tab get hot and than its shut down and restart again and again. Battery issue ??

  • I have a question. I read on Samsung's website that the expandable memory for Samsung galaxy tab A is around 128gb but on this site it says the same is 256gb. Can somebody plz clarify this. The tab comes in two variants, 16gb RAM and 32gb RAM. Is the expandable memeory capacity different for the two???

  • No, of course not . How do you except fingerprint sensor in a rs19000 tablet.

  • Yes.

  • In india it is single sim. Infact most of the samsung tablets are single sim.

  • It is Dual Sim

  • This tablet is the best tablet you could buy. I own a 16gb Rom, 1.5gb RAM, White Galaxy Tab A and it has done great for me. Its fast, very light and slim, and has a great display. The only problem with it is the camera is terrible. You might as well just use a phone or actual camera. It also says radio is to be confirmed but the device doesnt have a radio chip so it wont be getting radio.

  • its aG for 16gb

  • Lol

  • Just wifi? This tab doesnt have mobile data like every phone?

  • Network: 3G only

  • 2016 has a better resolution (7.0 has 720p, this one is a weird 768x1024, 10.1 has 1080p with the 2015 has the same resolution of 768x1024), better camera too. Battery slightly lower but the non-constant research for the S-Pen makes it equal

  • Has no internet, just wifi.

  • Is this tab have fingerprint sensor?

  • the main difference is that the TAB A 2015 has S-Pen and the new models (2016) doesnt I got this model just becase the SPen.

  • the speed is slower than the Samsung Pro 8.4 , it is running at Quad cord 1.2 only, where Samsung Pro 8.4 is running Quad cord 2.4

  • My Galaxy Tab 8.0 with S-Pen just updated to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. So far, it works perfectly.

  • It works with LTE if you have the right model

  • go for galaxy tab A 8.0 not for 2016 version , becos of s-pen ofc

  • I want to know whether Galaxy A 8" tab is 4G or 3G.

  • Their basically both the same, the only difference is obviously the screen size and I think the tab a 7.0 has the speaker on the back and it is a bit more thicker than the tab a 8.0. But I'd go for the 8 inch because I like tablets that are not too big but not too small.

  • Whether SAMSUNG TAB A 8' is best to buy or new Samsung TAB A 7' (2016). . . . Which is best to buy

  • Yes, it works with a lil bit lag

  • I need some help..i think when first time i buy my tab A 8.0,the tablet is vibrate when i take out the s pen...n vibrate again when i put in back.. Now..its not the same..how do i set back to normal? Somthing wrong with that?

  • Pretty decent bang for your buck. Even handles PokémonGO pretty well

  • does pokemon go work on this?

  • Thanks for the review. I think I should buy it.

  • i bought mine for $119.00 i can't complain.

  • it is not available on this device

  • It will COME with Lollipop but be upgradable to Marshmallow, if not now then in the next couple of weeks.

  • LOVE my Tab A! I have the 8 inch version with S Pen and it's brilliant. The battery life is SUBURB, the marshmallow update gave it screen-off note and a nicer UI, it's an absolute pleasure to use. For reference I am a (VERY amateur) artist and so I use the basic functions a fair bit but I haven't put anything incredibly taxing on it (yet).

  • How can I go to Unlock effect in Lock screen of Samsung Tab A? i don't remember if I touched the upgrade icon thing..help pls..

  • I need help. How can i connect my tab A to tv with hdmi and to a projector?

  • The one I bought is JUNK; touch screen only works sometimes. Had to use google account in order to do some things (have one ONLY because they own youtube). Don't like google at all. Its going back to Walmart tomorrow. Always keep my receipt for anything electrical from Walmart. 50% I have to return. When am I going to learn to never buy this stuff there?

  • I just got a 8" one and it came with Lollipop.

  • Yes

  • Can you have two different sessions on this tab? For example one for kids to access and the other one for parents?

  • is posible to use wireless charger for this device?

  • Got marshmallow

  • Is the tablet known for low quality pics and videos? Do you suggest any other tablet within the same price range?

  • No it hasn't. It currently only has Lollipop. I know because I have the same device. For the 9.7 model, Marshmellow will be released. It has not been confirmed for the 8.0 model.

  • Sure, i tried it and worked fine.

  • I am using samsung galaxy tab a for past 8 months probably no issues with ,your tab a superb battery life and it's outstanding gaming experience is especially made for gamers but only one issue it's speakers are not loud however samsung does a awesome job this time

  • Marshmallow Has now come outfor this

  • Had my Samsung tab A for 1 year its wifi only works great plays movies and browses the internet perfectly the only thing It probably needs is dual speakers but I just bluetooth my sony speakers to it and boom its perfect.

  • Very nice tab which I never used in my lifetime buddy

  • It can be used attached with projector?

  • Can you use an SPen with the Tab A? I read a comment that mentioned it but I wasn't sure if they were talking about the same device. Thanks

  • I'm worry with the specs at first,but I bought it for SPen and lightweight compared to my heavy Tab4 10.1 I'm happy coz it fit nicely in my handbag ,I've Note 4 but I need a bigger screen to take a note or to do list. Everything is ok for me coz I need a Tab that have SPen to write,easy to carry around and bigger screen to read books and news.In my case,my Tab weakness covered by my Note4.

  • Hayday is practically not suitable to be called a 'game' because despite it's stated as a game, it doesn't require tremendous processing power. What they call a game is games like F-18 Carrier landing, Infinity Blade, etc.

  • YES - yes it does

  • Hi Guys! I Just Bought this tablet. My exact model is SM - P355 Here my review. 1. Spen Does not have the Pen Window Feauture ( This is where you draw a square anywhere on the screen and choose an App like a Calculator , It will then float on where ever you place the square. good for multitasking, However - I did manage to find a third party app that floats while im calculating - so its still good for me, But the Pen Window would have been much better) 2. Spen is very good - its very usefull in multi tasking and writng down notes and reminders. it just like on my note3 but has bigger space and I can write more notes without conserving the space or running out of it. 3. I have not experience much Lag on Gaming. - I play COC and subway surfer. (not much of a gamer) 4. The model I have is the LTE version, it has calling and texting function, which is very good, no drop calls and connects easily. My data is very fast as well. 5. The display is Good for me, since im not very particular on display for this device. Its good enough for youtube and movies. 6. The camera, Its not that great, But good enough, if ever you want to take a pic for notes or just for showing some things, the tablet can do that., you definitely can not use this for a closeup annd high reso pic. 7. the speaker, its very good inside my room. its loud... However, outdoors, its average and is still pretty audible. 8. Outside Display - Very Visible and I have no problem on reading or looking at pictures and videos. Over all, it does the job i intend it to do, for notes, general web surfing, SPEN feautures are the biggest sale point for me. The UI is very smooth. specially for multi tasking. COns --- My Office Apps did not work - it was not compatible - ill have to check it with the Samsung store where is bought it.

  • Where can I buy the Tab. in Germany? By otto ?

  • i hope so this will be available soon in cebu..can't find one here..already check all possible retailers..

  • FM Radio availibility with galaxy tab - A model no. T 355Y

  • Wow.... Itz gud one.....

  • Yes

  • Hi I'm from cochin and I'd like to say that this is one crappy tab..the touch is non responsive, no fluidity and the worst thing about this is the display-it has the display quality of a 2010 budget smartphone and that too at a whopping 18k price point....i wudnt be typing on this if my dad hadnt bought me this crappy tab...@samsung get your head out asses

  • Does it MHL compatible ?

  • 4g lte single micro sim

  • The specification is lower than galaxy note 8 which is published on April 2013

  • To paraphrase Coder, does Tab A support MHL?

  • Any lags, issues, overheating so far?

  • Ive bought this tab A and i so satisfied with its performances.

  • Does samsung tab a 8.0 support MHL

  • Hi Friends, I am giving my review experience for Samsung Tab - A (SM-T355Y) 4G LTE version. Bought the above said Tab A on 01.09.2015 (Smoky Titanium), 1.Physical appearance: The physical appearance of the Tab is excellent, The build quality is good, People commenting cheap plastic should take a look at it first slim and stylish Overall 9/10 for the physical appearance. 2. Performance : Speaking about the performance snapdragon 410 chipset clocked at 1.2 GHZ Quad Core processor is the same we get in Moto G 3rd Gen, speed for browsing on Wifi and Cellular network is the best in this price range. Overall 8.5/10 for the performance. 3. Calling Quality : Calling on the 8 inch tablet has always been a big task bt using a source i.e. Heaphones n Bluetooth makes it excellent. Overall 9/10 for the performance. 4. Battery life and storage memory : Battery of 4200 MAH is enough for the whole day heavy usage yes 160 PPI make is difficult for to view in sunlight but in full brightness or auto brightness mode its easily visible. Storage yes 16GB inbuild and 11.07 GB user available make it bit on down side but I added 64 GB class 10 SD card which make its a perfect carrying partner. Overall I will give 9/10 for the battery life and 8/10 for the storage. 5. Lollipop Update and other features : Yes its run on Android 5.0.2 lollipop OS which is smooth as i dunt have seen any kind of lag and the features of multi mode function is all fine to work with Including microsoft office make it much more helpful @ office. Gaming is also excellent and no issues of Heating till the date. Final Conclusion : Over all I will give 9/10 to Samsung Tab A(SM-T355Y) 4G LTE version. And a big thumb up for those who are planning to buy it. Guys go for this beauty all featured packed and at low budget. :)

  • Have you used the galaxy tab A?

  • No sim

  • What you mean by unstable ? What's wrong ?

  • Tab 4 8.0 is stable than this device !

  • Can anyone told me is it dual sim or single sim

  • the p355 variant DOES have an s pen

  • IOS support multiple accounts on COC ahahahaha game center

  • Very good square and performance but no flash

  • Does it have gorilla glass?

  • is this can play 1080p videos with any lagging? please someone ans this who are already use this.

  • Sorry, this smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy A, does NOT have a pen. I use my stylus.

  • the samsung store promised that they'll text me if the case and screen guard will arrive, it's almost 2 months :(

  • is this model able to connect via Mhl to Hdmi i mean tablet to tv?

  • tab a ...with that i don't receive screen guard and pouch

  • the look and feel of this tablet is an attempt to copy ipad mini, even the pricing.... i had an ipad mini first gen but lost it... i go for this tablet this tiem because this has more functionalities than an ipad mini - phone functionalities, spen and the richness of android os

  • using the s-pen playing clash of clans on my GT-A is a lot better compared to using it on my note 3, more responsive and effective

  • Yes it supports phone calls

  • just got one, the only available color variant is white, i prefer blak or gray but i have no choice since it's the only unit you can find in my city... using s pen on a tablet sized screen is more convenient compared to writing on galaxy note phones... i bought this tab because of my addiction to clash of clans... android os supports multiple coc accounts unlike ios...

  • hmm sure?

  • like once said by somone there are lot of critics but appriciaters are less... to start on a good note in a developing country of india there are different types of masses staying not speaking about apple ipad classes. Who need a tablet for work and some leasure and dream of tab s or an highend tab like note 10.1 in samsung but cant afford it or unable to match up with it. would go with tabs like these as they feel easy to pull out 19,999 indian rupees then to spend 40,000 indian rupees and online is not trustworthy as the discounts u get online are because stuff is accuired from different state like u stay in punjab and bill is from up or kerela u might get some service but accessories cant be replaced due to state to state policy of manafactures. if i stay in punjab and product bill is from punjab the all is well as i get doa and replacement there in 2 days. what ever it may sound to you all critics out there with an negetive comment in terms oF specs it is best for people on low budget and would apeal to u all if u dont like this produce dont buy it but dont criticize it also as it feels bad on part of genuine buyres who not only get upset but get confused also and later cheated by shops. and bty i am using a pen that cane with tab 3 active which i got for 600 indian rupees from my sansung retail store and i love it with my awsome note hd as it workes great... lol samsung keep up the good work with made in india and made for india slogan.. again lol for product as i love it ... and pepole do buy it as it has preloaded ms office and with any pen with silicon tip it workes dam great as such pen come from cello for just 89 insian rupees.

  • More clarification plz

  • Can v use keyboard for this tab?

  • does this unit have S Pen like in 9.7 tab a.?

  • Is this tablet support dual sim or not

  • Does this tablet support phone call?

  • Does this Tab A support compass?

  • Anyone else got problem with screen peeling? L

  • hows the function of stylus pen in Tab A compared to note 4 sir?

  • Hows the performace of Tab A? And the screen display?

  • Is anyone else having issues with skype. This is my third tablet and each gime I try to skype the tablet freezers and wont let me open skype ?????

  • There are several variants of the Tab A, after the obvious two different screen sizes. There's a model with the S Pen and one without. There's a model with phone calling capability and one without. Happy shopping!

  • I bought my Galaxy Tab A 3 days ago, it's size is excellent to do work when your are travelling. I have already downloaded Hancocm office and it works perfect. . I am just wondering if there is keyboard designed for Tab A.

  • I got it yesterday and I love it! Great tablet for the price

  • got one yesterday and the over all performance is superb.

  • How come no release in the UK?

  • Some applications e.g mx player do not work...

  • Hi. Love this tablet to bits. Great for work. But do you guys have the problem where the digitiser or screen at lower left corner is peeling upwards? Otherwise a great machine worth considering. Good battery life

  • I bought LTE version of Tab A 8.0 in India around a week ago. I agree that it is overpriced but again I am amazed the way this tab looks and works.It's not the most geeky stuff in the market but somehow this doesn't disappoint you.Bloatware is minimal and microsoft stuff is preloaded which is a big advantage.I would recommend this tab. And moreover it does feel quite premium to hold.

  • good joke

  • I am totally amaze with this unit. I am previous owner for note 8.0 . Checking the spec tab A is totally look suck. But anyway i still give a try. I brought the unit and i have no regret. Its just like note 12.2 pro. Amazing unit. Fast, sharp screen and lots to offer for work with microsoft and the notes... go for it... not a moment of regret

  • 2015 samsung tab with 160 ppi. That's is lower ppi than my 2012 Samsung galaxy tab 2 which btw have 170 ppi. Not to mention somehow it's priced at $300 in Indonesia, surely there are much better alternative exist here.

  • Totally Disagree..

  • Yes 2G/3G/4G calling all....

  • Screen Protector required :(

  • Both

  • Is it data network service or wifi hotspot only??????

  • Is the device need a sceen protector or tempered glass???

  • This is very good tab

  • is it a 64-bit device?

  • Does it support voice calling facility?

  • Such an over price devie !!

  • I like this device. It can be a bit overpriced for the lack thereof features but it's still a cool device.

  • I had a 7 inches one and now I bought this. For me it works well, fast and precise. I love the battery performance and the sound. It accepted the 64 GB microSD without any problem. The rear cammera is good although I want a better front cammera. In my opinion this is the best of its class

  • You too made a mistake in your sentence kid... switch on your autocorrect feature.. hahaha

  • I have bought one of this, and i think this thing is way too overpriced outside US when it comes to features...shit it is even worse than samsung note 8 which was released on 2013....the only good thing about this device is this one uses lollipop as its OS which i don't really care about, and that's all...btw it does have otg support. I suggest you NOT to buy this thing, seriously, or you will absolutely be disappointed...except if you love spending money over nothing...

  • Does this Galaxy Tab 8.0 comes with S-Pen?

  • Yes ,it support usb up to 64 gb,and very fast recognicung usb and no any lag

  • Does it support usb otg cable

  • I'm having it.....it's really nice

  • Awsm tab Very very happy to bring it home Every one should buy this tab like me

  • Hi. I own this device and it cost me 380$ with 1 year free 3g data. I really love it. The specs are low but it works better than any other tablets. It saves battery more than amolet screen. 5 days charge one time for normal use and playing games is great. Thanks Samsung.

  • U can get a portable wifi and can use it on 10 devices..Huawei has them.

  • This device sound great, I am interested in it, but I could not find this device available with 4G/LTE. In case if we are on the way without WiFi, how can we use internet??? Anyone have an idea, please share.

  • Why Samsung using TFT display these days ? Which is not very good.

  • Xiaomi is the best mi pad is damn good at lowest price Samsung tab a is garbage over Mi pad is best in all tablets

  • Is it support otg usb

  • This tablet can use for drawing 3D.

  • oh my god, mi pad and nokia n1 still better than this overpriced things

  • Nice tab..but expensive.

  • Tab 4 8.0 is better

  • No

  • No. It only magnetic stud to hold on OEM Samsung tablet case.

  • hey its not a phone it is a tab so dont compare

  • Plz somebody tell me is there dual SIM available in Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0?

  • plz somebody tell me is dual sim available in samsung galaxy tab a 8.0?

  • plz somebody tell me is dual sim available in samsung galaxy tab a 8.0?

  • The buttons are for clipping to the book cover. I.e. protective cover.

  • Low specifications - high price 160ppi??? Samsung 👎

  • Don't be so rude - there is really no need for that

  • Why don't you focus on organizing you sentence structure? Or take the time to learn english? Or purchase a device with auto correct.

  • Hi Guys! I'm planning to buy a gadget for my presentation purposes in real estate this month of June 2015..... I just wanna ask about your VOTES & SUGGESTIONS..... Guys, which gadget I would buy base on performance, quality, speed & storage..... an Apple iPad Mini 2 w/ Wifi + cellular (32GB) or the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 w/ S Pen/LTE ???....... Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.... :-)

  • If you have the Wi-Fi-only version, then you can use it as a tablet only... no phone calls/SMS. If you get the 3G/4G LTE version, then you can make and receive phone calls and SMS. HTH. =)

  • hey... i just try tab a today @ store, i found it pretty tablet, fast no hiccups, good enough, maybe should wait more time to get its price goes down, its $325(wifi+3g) pricetag now...

  • That is casing holder like tab s

  • I have the second generation iPad Air and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I prefer to use the Samsung better. I don't understand the nitpickiness of the consumers that have purchased The Tab A, it you want it to be on par with the IPad, get the S series. This tablet is just fine for me.

  • I just want to ask what is the function of the two botton at the back kindly please answer my qustion tanx alot n more pwers

  • pixel density is very poor and Tab 4 and Tab 3 pixel densities are better

  • It use an adreno 306

  • All you recommending a 1st gen iPad mini have probably never owned one before, I have one and has been crappy all along. It's gotten slower and slower each time Apple releases an update, so slow I want to throw against the wall every time I use it. It was the first and last Apple product I will ever own.

  • Agreed, Tab A have better design, variant color better ratio, but really disapointed with the spec, or maybe they target for students and lower market. Will stick to my Note8 till better spec from Samsung.

  • Why not showing the GPU model use

  • Can't you just be impartial instead of favoring one side over the other?

  • Is this mobile s worth?

  • This is an ok tablet, however I think Samsung could've done better. It has good specs and is a functioning tablet but for a price like that (USD: $229.99) well, nope.

  • What discouraged me from buying Note 8 is it ugly thick bezels and the overlay ugly curves. I bought Tab A and will choose it any day over ugly Note 8.

  • beside the new 4:3 ratio design. this tablet cant even compete with 2 years old Galaxy note 8.0 come on... now is 2015!

  • Ya... I agree the price is not right. Better get a Samsung Tab S, with much better in everything, just a few hundred more, just except no S Pen.

  • spec ram need improve..the price so higher..

  • Low specs high price . Nobody will buy. Wait for 2 to 3 months and price will be little cheeper then apples and oranges ... everyone will be happy . End of story

  • OMG! Whew! Samsung is still playing on it's devices... I feel that the makers are insanes?.. How can they made a tablet like this worse?.. Real Bad.! . -_- ..Samsung yow, still playing on the ground.. .We can't even get track of your tablets because of simultaneous release and now the result? ..u have no other choice but to innovate/invent/make a NO CLASS tab like this.. .If u had copied the Apple products, I wish also that you will copy Apple in their Purity and Lay-outs ..That their devices were released organizely and so is made perfectly and purely, that's why more people focused on them because of their Organized Plans ..not like your Samsung Company, just so not formal.. Disgusting.!

  • The price just not right with the spec are given. If it a little higher tab 3 it still consider okay, but it more pricey than tab 4. Survey malaysia price

  • is this is a calling tab please confirm ?

  • The actual price of the 8.0 is actually 229.00. It's a midrange tablet slightly lower resolution then tab 4 but same specs otherwise. It's also the only Samsung tablet that comes with actual Microsoft office. Its not there best tablet but it's far from worse. There also will be a spen variant model.

  • When is coming 8Mp camera variant model???.

  • 4:3 is the new thing now for tablets.. the new tab s series is rumor to habe 4:3 as well..

  • iPad mini 1st gen is the target this model is going after, not the iPad mini 2. Look up the specs/price on Amazon, nearly identical across the board. To say this is an Android copycat of the iPad mini first gen is accurate. The OS is pretty well responsive. It's no S6 but is decent. Basically on par with the 1st gen mini, yes. What draws people to this tab is a deal run by stores like Best Buy: bring in an old functioning tablet and get $100 off one of these. Not a bad deal at that rate.

  • Agreed. Compared to the even cheaper (MYR 1207) iPad Mini 2's specs, this tablet looks and feels pathetic...

  • It's entering Malaysian market soon at the price of MYR1299 (US$361). Sorry, but Apple's iPad Mini 3 (price in Malaysian market : MYR1307 for Wifi model) has a lot to offer for US$2 difference, including sharper and better display, metal unibody, powerful GPU and more. Samsung really took a step forward in phones, but two step backwards in tablets.

  • I guess it's 16 gb you want to write over there.. It's 116 there..

  • And an archaic 4:3 aspect ratio. No thanks. That aspect ratio went out with tube TVs. I'll continue using my Tab S 10.5 with a modern aspect ratio.

  • That is what I am waiting for. When the Tab Note 10.2 & 12 came out why was there no 8.4????

  • No, thank you. Low specs, low internal memory & no pen. Looks like I´m gonna stay on my Note 8.0 till Samsung puts out a very good 8" Stylus tab on the market again... Why the Tab Pro 8.4" isn´t whit Stylus like his bigger bros??

  • I hope at least it got 300 ppi T.T

  • Guys I saw this phones details in samsung store.. it supports s pen and many more features compare to tab 4.

  • it is not cheap, but expensive you i-phiot

  • Oh Man can't believe it. I have been waiting for a near eternity for a small android tablet with 32Gb memory, a good battery size, 4g and a sd card. Thank You Samsung. I wish it had a better ppi but beggars can't be choosers.

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 - I want to be an ipad lol

  • whoa too much negative comments... guys its just a preliminary specifications and as of today i cannot find anything on the internet about this tablet about the real specs or price but if the specs here in gsmarena are final then dang not the worth the money..

  • WTF are the styluses in tabs now

  • Wow this is utter cr*p. Dat pixel density, dat clock speed. No thanks Samsung.

  • It has lower specs than the galaxy note 8.0 and first generation ipad mini, i`d rather buy the first ipad mini than this piece of crap! shame on you samsung!!!

  • Really F**** cheap

  • But You wont get GPS with Nokia N1

  • Am a samsung fan and am so ashame of samsung. How much is nokia N1? With very good specs. Just over $260 . And samsung are selling theirs between $275-340, with very low specs. Its a shame really. Wish nokia can make a 3G enabled tablet right now. Samsung will be loosing customers. They call it low end, with a high end or mid range price. I wonder how much they will sell the tab s 2's when they come out. Very dissapointing.

  • OH god it's so cheap
