  • How to upgrade sam tab a 9.7 to marsmallow.

  • Mine is doing the same thing I am returning mine today. Cost too much for this to continue to happen. I drop it forward onto my chest and its on again but no control buttons work when the screens black.

  • Will this tablet get the nougat update?

  • Can you use chromecast with a Samsung Tab A 9.7 to play movies downloaded on tab

  • It can connect via Ethernet cable, I have mine connect up like that right now to get faster downloads since I did a recent system restore and have a heap of apps to download. You will need a USB to Ethernet adapter though, just plug that in and it connects automatically.

  • can this Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 be used to communicate through LAN port ? Any adapter available?

  • I have an samsung tablet but recently it does turn off by it self and I do not know why please help me, this problem does repeat each time

  • I agree, I liked the original startup and the simpler Power Off functions. Front and back cam options are great. For 720p the video quality is excellent and photos are great. Since upgrade "Panorama" no longer RUNS (Pans automatically), now just a really long 360 degree picture! Needs addressing. This needs to be fixed

  • I like the old startup and shutdown can samsung please put the old startup and shutdown back

  • I had the same problem and it turns out that your micro SD card is corrupted. Turn off the tablet and out the SD card and see it start up normal if it dose you need to replace the SD card. Hope that solves the problem if not get a hold of samsung

  • Please, someone help me. My samsung galaxy tab A (P555) wouldn't boot but only show SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A at start for about five minutes and then restart, then the same thing but won't show anything. Please, someone help. Thanks.

  • Love the Tablet, would like to find a usb hdmi adapter for it but haven't been able to find one that is specifically for this model. Can anyone help me? Thanx

  • We find the Tablet serves all our purposes really well. One thing we would like to do is to find a usb to hdmi adapter for it. So far we haven't found one specifically for the A9.7, are we missing something?

  • Check image..

  • Yes.. read the specifications.

  • doe this tab make calls

  • Cant get the tablet to display true colour. Display in an Xtray colour mode.

  • You will need to go through a Chromecast dangle which you plug into the HDMI port on your TV

  • Is this compatible with dji phantom 3?

  • How to put sim?

  • Hi if the model supports usb host mode then you can get the adapter to put in the usb port and connect a usb keyboard if not use a bluetooth keyboard it works ok, hope this helps

  • please tell me if you can connect a keyboard to this tablet?

  • Please tell me the ampere rating of the orignal charger which comes with it

  • Hi there absolutely love this tablet . Great battery life performance also fast . Only let down is that the item don't light up when pressing the home button for the ones either side . It's a great tab would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a tablet

  • Hi guys . Can I make confrernce call on tab a

  • t555= wifi+ 4G t550=wifi only p555= wifi+ 4G with s pen p550= wifi only with s pen so choose wisely

  • Dear plz tell me if T555 has both wifi and 4G SIM..?? Or T550 has only wifi and T555 has both wife+gsm..??

  • My galaxy goes to the lock position, I've never used that function, but once on, it switches to the lock screen, battery @51%

  • HEY MEDUSA... did u figure out how to turn on the touch keys? Im having the same problem

  • perfect. thanks

  • Yea of course otg is available and working great, as I said before it's a plus compared to iPad, you can connect whatever you want to the tablet just like a computer, you can check this picture for an exemple (I have a pen drive connected to an adaptor of USB\microSD TO microUSB)

  • hi, does the tab A have OTG capabilities. don't seem to find an answer online .

  • Tab 9.7 aslo otg runing??

  • Yes you can create and edit word and excel files on this tablet, and you get Microsoft word and excel preinstalled, just keep in mind that some advanced actions require you to purchase office 360 subscription and also you won't have the full office experience on the tablet, some functions aren't available so office apps on android won't replace Windows software.

  • Can I create and edit excel sheet and word files on this tab

  • Yes, the one I bought came with the official Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint apps installed already. If not installed, they are free on the Play Store.

  • Can I create and edit excel sheet and word files on this tab

  • Tab A 9.7 better. It have the longest battery life. 13 hours video playback.

  • You're referring to iPad air second gen? If yes then yes ipad is much better , just keep in mind that they run on different operating systems, you can play games on iPad and you can watch videos same for the tab A but you can't plug a USB pendrive on the iPad, you can do that on tab A, you can't change anything on the home screen except rearranging your apps , you can install a different launcher on tab A ... Anyways the iPad is a better performer with a better screen and a better construction and better updates support ....

  • Which is better?_ ipad air 2 or samsung tab a 9.7?

  • No, the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 does not have an IR port.

  • The Tab A doesn't have MHL output, so you won't be able to connect it to your TV with an HDMI cable. There are a couple of wireless options, however: If you just want to send videos/pictures/Netflix/etc., you could use a Chromecast - there's a list of apps that support it here: If you need to do full screen mirroring, Samsung used to sell a thing called an "AllShare Cast Dongle" which supported that, however it has been discontinued. It *seems* to just be a standard MiraCast dongle, however, so it's possible that you could use any MiraCast receiver.

  • How can improve the wifi speed of upgraded Marshmallow 6.0.1 galaxy tab T555

  • We both wear glasses and neither of us have any problems with the resolution when watching "catch-up tv" or reading messages, PDF's and newspapers on line. The only reservation is the speakers can be a little bit tinny and quiet depending on the source or chanel. An external speaker is a good investment. I also have a Bluetooth keyboard but for most of the time the predictive text makes sending messages quick and easy so I only use my laptop once a week or less (cut and paste using a tablet is too fiddly for me).

  • Tanx for ur rapid reply pal...u mean the low resolution doesnt bother ? Are Small texts readable ? I read many reviews and complain related to low resolution and pixelated screen ? And not very sharp and blury texts specialy small texts ? Do u comfirm or not ? I wanna to use it for long time ebook and web reading....do u suggest it for reading totally ?? Tanx again...

  • We have a 550 and a 555 and the screen is great for both reading and watching films. The only difference is that the 555 takes a sim card and the 550 doesn't. Invest in decent speakers and you will be very happy. Great for surfing the net too.

  • I want to buy this tablet....but i have a question...is it decent for reading ebooks and web surfing and pdf ??? I mean is the text clear ???? cuz of low resolution ? Does it annoy the eyes ?

  • Is the 555 "unlocked" for all networks? Anyone know? Thanks

  • Actually the tab A has several models -t550 wifi only -t555 gsm version P550 wifi only with s pen P555 gsm with s pen. The versions with s pen are more expensive than the non s pen version for each category. The p555 version is the most featured packed and very difficult to find( sold only in specific markets, not sold in the US atleast officially).

  • At top of spec there are 2 models T550 (Wi-Fi) and T555 (3G/LTE). T550 is wifi only, no GSM (sim card) T555 has GSM, so needs a sim card for 3G etc

  • it has a sim card, i bought one

  • I would like to know where the sim card goes please?????

  • where's the sim card slot on this tab?

  • Look I really do not think this tablet has a sim. It has a microSD only

  • Yes it uses a sim

  • There is no simply slot on it How can I WhatsApp with the tab?

  • MS Office is free on the android app. Note that the Android (and iOS for that matter) apps are not the full versions and some functionality might be missing.

  • It came already installed on mine. But still, if it doesn't come already installed, it is a free download from Google Play.

  • Plz I would ask can this tablet running Full HD videos properly???

  • The tablet looks wonderful and I want to buy this product. The decision factor is whether the tablet has Microsoft Office already install, do i need to just download and install, or do i need to buy it. Do any of you guys know?

  • Yes you can use a sim

  • Does this tablet use a sim card

  • Does this tablet have a similar slot? If yes where is it?

  • I would like to know the charging time from about 20%

  • It happened to me twiced The only option I know is to wait until the battery goes down and charge again and reboot

  • My tab A was stopped while i'm using it. It can't power off and nothing to change. But screen was opening. How do i do.. plz .. Is there anybody like me?

  • While i using my tab. It stopped along time with opening screen. It can't power off and nothing to change. How could i do. Now i 'm waiting a time to power off. Plz how could i do... it's there any body like me.

  • I bought this tablet it is very fast and battery is Great, full charge last two days down side is..slippery and on screen finger prints which need wipping though.

  • Why can't I loop my videos

  • yes

  • yes using the 453g(lte)

  • Is samsung galaxy tab A T555 compatible with smart watch (gear)?? Thank you

  • My new galaxy Tab A does the same thing it started on day two. I finally was able to switch it off. went and had a stiff scotch prayed to to the Electronic wizard, then switched it back on and it worked ok. I hate having a hard copy of the user manual.

  • Even it had back illuminated keys it wouldn't make a difference because keys only lights up AFTER you pressed them. You still would have to find them when you are using the tablet in the dark. Also the screen's brightness is enough to let you see the capacitive keys in the dark.

  • How much ppi a regular 1366x768 laptop have ? It isn't higher and we are satisfied with it.

  • My tablet has stuck with SAMSUNG in the middle of the screen with dots floating out from around it. I can't do anything with it. Won't turn off. I have held the on off button in for ages nothing happens. The scteen just staysthe same samsung word in the middle with dot coming out of it. Has this happened to anyone.

  • I have a question from musicians. Is this tablet suitable for reading sheets? id this resolution enough?

  • Hi , so the soft keys of this tablet dont light up? I ve been using it for 2 weeks now , and I ve searched a lot on the net , there is not way to turn them on.Except that this is a good tablet , with great battery life .Last night watched two online movies more than 3 hours and I went from 65% of battery to 41%.So my only problem is the soft keys that are not illuminated , you have to guess when there is no light where you are.Even tried the power saving mode but it didnt work.Any advice please?

  • have dial pad for sim call?

  • There is also the Tab A with S-Pen

  • No

  • This tablet not have mini USB hdmi port and not compatibile MHL system!!!

  • There's two version for this one, wifi and lte version. Lte version has sim slot,

  • Best to tablet for Samsung. ...the battery is infinity...very fast....crazy

  • how can I get my password for the personal privacy mode? i forgot it.

  • Oh my God! The battery of this tablet is crazy! Due to it's low pixelation. But I don't see things blurry. Fast and stable operation from 1.2 proc, as samsung never fail. Screen look very nice and beautiful. Though black is a bit white... Browsing is a pleasure. Gaming is okay, I play MKX and i think it works fine, average. I would definitely recommend this. Its most useful tool for me.

  • I can't find the 2gb ram version of this tablet

  • 2 GB is more than enough as long as you have a decent cpu and gpu. Just because it's a budget device doesn't mean it has to suck. You could get something much better in this price range.

  • Stop spreading misinformation! Read up properly next time! Check your statement about the available RAM of this device again! 😠

  • How I can have the second user for Samsung Galaxy Tab a 9.7? The user manual is saying that it is possible but in my tab I can not find. T555 LOLLIPOP 5.02

  • If I see the comments ... They want for this price an awesome tablet that cost the double price... my Tab A has 2 GB Ram, 16 GB storage, a pen, and a sim card.... The speed of the processor is not great, lagging, the display has not so many pixel, still for the normal use it is enough... For reading for sure, And then I connected my Nikon camera on the tablet, no problem, the pictures directly fast on the Tablet. With the pen and WPS office you beat normal laptops, and then I use a Bluetooth keyboard with mouse pad... And for sure a 64GB sd card.... And for that I would never exchange it for a I pad... and the battery life is awesome... Just keep complaining.... maybe you have somewhere else problems?

  • Oh, my bad. I thought the only 2GB model was the one bundled with the stylus.

  • I was playing a game and I put it on stand by, and then I closed it. I opened the cover and there was my game that I had been playing and then I went to close the game and now it won't come on. (I bought it from Costco and the case came with it) the one that costs 39.99. It's a really nice case. It puts your tablet on stand by and wakes it up when you open it. I was very disappointed. I'm going to take it back. I am hoping it's just a glitch and when I exchange it that it won't happen again

  • Grammar not Grammer you should check yours before correcting others!

  • 1,5gb ram with wi fi 2gb ram with lte

  • T 550 (WiFi version) is 1.5 gb version .

  • It's listed here as 2GB RAM when it actually has 1500MB RAM. Just thought i'd point that out to anyone considering the Tab A.

  • The text will look very ragged. I bought and returned this after seeing what the text looked like when using AL Reader and Cool Reader. In my opinion, and from some experience, you should get a tablet with at lest 250 dpi for reading. My Galaxy S has 320+ dpi and the fonts are very smooth.

  • pls somebody help. I have this Samsung Tab A with S pen but I dont know where to slot my microsim. thanks

  • if the screen is so black the brightness is zero

  • Guys, if the storage is 32gb, does it mean no S-Pen? Oh no..

  • i bought this tab yesterday , when i insert my sim the display is very dull even when the screen resolution is 100% and it visible like very dark i have to send back and i never use the samsung products ...dont buy the this tablet...

  • Gpu renderer?

  • You are entering a wrong email password

  • It's grammar not grammer. You're welcome

  • I bought this yesterday and absolutely love it, except for the fact that when I tilt it a different way to the way I am holding it, it locks. This is very frustrating and I could not find anything in the settings to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I BOUGHT THIS Samsung tablet today and is when I try to enter my mail it says 'authentication failed' . Does anyone know what to do?

  • If you get into the settings and do a factory reset, on restart it gives you the language option.

  • yes this one got a special reading mode , its imitating a book page

  • i have bought this tab, however i could not access this because the language is in Germany. how can i change it to English?

  • I want to buy this tab but i have some questions. can anyone answer me can i watch 720p videos? my main purpose is reading books, is its screen suitable for reading?

  • Could you confirm this officially?

  • Not on my menu (Android 5.0.2). Key lights also do not flash once at power-up. there are no key lights on mine. Are you sure you have them on yours?

  • I have the same problem. Have you got yours fixed? Apparently the lights don't work. See my post, and kindly let me know if I might be wrong.

  • Touch keys ("Back" and "History") are not illuminated. When in the dark, you have to guess where they are and fumble to find them. This field (Touch Key Illumination = "Yes"/"No") is also not shown on the GSMarena site, and I have now asked for it to be added. This disappointment does not cause too much dissatisfaction with what is otherwise a great device. This tablet is however not for users who lie in bed at night in the dark with a tablet.

  • Flesh camera h

  • You should check your grammer before trying to write a review on something. Like the saying goes a computer (or in this case a tablet) is only as smart as its user.

  • Great price/quality combination....but the wifi speed feels a bit slow. My galaxy S6 using wifi with the same router goes 3 times faster,other than that,runs perfectly and combined with the original book cover makes it great !! Love the use of wake function once you flip the cover.

  • It's not the worst it's very very very very very blog

  • Just got it last week, wonderfully good!!

  • No the screen needs to have the s-pen hardware built in to the screen

  • I am a fan of samsung. my all the drvices are samsung. but i have to tell this, because i was very much diapointed eith this tab a lte version. this comment is not to degrade samsung but i am frankly telling my option on this device. The worst thing is the display quality when i play HD movie and browsing. other thing it has high loadig time when i open some pdf file & has some lag. it heats up when using internet for 15 minutes. mobile signal strength is not stable like my other devices. battery is not good for browsing. drop fastly. samsung made a budget tab with low resolution and a weak processor. for this price you can buy a better alternative. this is my experience with this tab after one month use. i bought this tab from samsung store.

  • No. The non S-Pen version lacks the special digitizer that the S-Pen version has. Simply buyingo an S-Pen will not work.

  • The best tablet for me. Far better than any ipad. Nice specs specially when using the stylus pen

  • SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?I just purchased the galaxy tab A sm-t550 and noticed the sm-p550 has a stylus pen,is it possible to purchase a S-pen(exactly/similiar)for the t550 model? Someone please answer my qwestion.ThankYou

  • My key light isn't working, help

  • very good

  • Turn 5gz frequency off on ur router. Or just don't use 5ghz on any of ur device so the router can operate only on one frequency (2ghz). I hope it fixes the problem.

  • My Samsung tab A is on safe mode when I turn it on, when I press the disable button it is still on. Can anyone advise me please.

  • My key light isn't working, help

  • You have them where they do not light up. Go to settings, display, and you should see touch key light duration.. click that to change it to your desired taste.

  • Can any one tell me why my home and b ack buttons will not light up

  • I have had my Galaxy tab A for 3 months now, and the battery is starting to run hot all the time now. In addition, the battery doesn't last very long between charges. Hope it's still on warranty. Other than that I love it

  • Great tablet. Lovely size. With the right case it's easy to hold one handed. Only one problem... wifi. I have virgin media superhub 2 with the 2.4 and 5GHz connection options and no matter what I do I keep losing connection. Usually when playing Clash of Clans and usually when I'm half way through an attack. I have reset it loads of times. I have used wifi analyser to set the best channels etc, but it STILL keeps losing the connection and screwing my gaming up. Any suggestions would be helpful

  • Ya it has

  • Yes it happened to me too if the magnet on the cover comes into contact with the back of the tab then it goes off so is nomal. U can try it

  • Yes it has

  • Tablets 1000

  • Sumsung good one there this the perfect device for me

  • does it have stereo speakers ?

  • Thats great thanks for your help

  • No this one does not support the S pen, you need to view for the S pen version

  • If possible definite answer . Does this device support an S pen ? Had conflicting answers from Curries and Samsung

  • Does it have a mic? Thank you all x

  • As well as j5, this tablet is a really good budget. For those who don't want to expend that much and get the best features, this one is the best. Only complain might be display resolution, but you get used to it cuz you don't want a 9.7 display as close to your eyes. If you buy a tablet this display size, is for watching content in big. On the other hand, videos have a pretty good quality. I don't get why some text is low-res and videos can be watched on HD. I have a version with lte and s-pen, can't ask for more, using it for watching movies and youtubin', battery lasts 24 hour, seriously, and no heating. Really impressed with this device. With normal use, word, Web, some vids, easily battery lasts for more than 2 days.

  • Bought mine on 23/11/2015. I'm enjoying it. But it's hotspot can't share to my phone nor laptop. I'll have to change the sim to my phone to share hotspot. Not convenient at all

  • Hi everyone, is it possible to play Zynga's Farmville 2 Country Escape on this device with full game options available? I red about some issues on galaxy tabs with Zynga games earlier this year, but cannot find any updates on this. Thank you in advance.

  • Hi everyone, is it possible to play (with full game options) Farmville 2 Country Escape on this device? Even with screen resolution issue I'm still very interested in buying it if it's possible to play Zynga game my wife adores...

  • No. It do not suport HDMI, only 132ppi and No NSF. Its LED I thooght it was AMOLED.

  • Gladness It switches off and on at anytime while in use. Disappointing cos I've only had it for 12 days and it's on contract

  • i got this tablet on nov 10 2015 and i can not get rid of a tone sound every couple of minutes with out paying a fee this does not seem right

  • there are three varieties of in this tab A where one is with s pen, another with sim, also one without sim. All the details can be red in internet. read them before buy.

  • Works on my micro/usb combo drive.

  • To find the multitasking, just tab and hold the window view button at the left hand of the home button. Hope it's helpful

  • like

  • does anyone know if it supports hdmi micro

  • Why I can't find the multi user on Tab A?

  • Pros: design (looks like iPad), light and thin, large screen for reading and for internet browsing Cons: poor display resolution, very bad camera

  • I have this tablet and it is great

  • That is for adjust a smart cover.

  • alloted sim card or not

  • it is having good function.but bad thing was that we can not insert "sim"

  • Its not a button, its to clip in the cover. there are two of them

  • I bought it in may.it is great.the s pen is great.i do like it

  • Spend a extra 100 dollars and get the Tab S 8.4 no comparison

  • what is back button used for

  • Is there a pen. I can't find it. Can Imake phone calls or there is no sim? What are the accessories included coz I found only the fuse and z wire but there was no pen, no ear phones. A man bought it from America or did he rob them? Tks

  • No lights...

  • no there is no back light

  • samsung galaxy Tab A display is not good compare to Apple ipad.

  • Anybody can can confirm that this has no touch key light? I bought one last night.

  • can i use S-pen on Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.9" Model SM-T355Y

  • The 's pen is on the top right back area of the tab. Unless it's not the galaxy tab A

  • As for whatapp, yes you can use it.

  • please can i use the TAB A for calls sms and chat(whatsapp, viber ect)? thanks for your feedback!

  • I bought this for $349 CAD. YES IT DOES COME WITH S PEN! It was a great value (got it on sale). Perfect screens size for videos, also it is very light!

  • Is this Tab voice call supportable ?

  • Omg! How can you even THINK of ordering something so expensive without actually checking it's freaking capabilities! IT DOESN"t HAVE THE S PEN!

  • I have the device and looks perfect but i need to know if the bottom 2 buttons beside the home buttons always with no light - is this normal ?

  • s pen kept inside the tab? even u can open this tab since the it has a non removable battery!! model smt 555 doesnt come with a pen i think.

  • i bought this tab yesterday from dubai but did not find s pen?

  • Hi Senjin. I'm interested in price of this product, for how much did u get it? (usd)

  • I think it does nothing against Apple with this tablet with this screen..

  • This is a great product for the price! I think this is where Samsung clearly beats Apple. The Galaxy Tab Pro series is the high end competition for the Ipad, but not everyone wants or can afford those top of the line produts, so Samsung has its econo series and makes sure it's a great product for the money. I switched from Apple to Samsung about three years ago and have NO desire to go back!

  • You can find the pen in the right upper corner stored inside the device

  • What is the model no for s-pen, I had bought Tab A SMT-555 is this tab support s-pen

  • Hi I had bought and shopkeeper didn't give me s-pen, is there SMT-555 support s-pen

  • thank you very much for your comment now i will buy one

  • Please get one... and comment. brilliant unit for the price in my opinion. USB otg great... put in a mouse and it works brilliantly. Please not that the unit can make calls and 4G.... and also has the S pen which is great for taking note etc. I had a tab S and sold it to get this. having a great screen is great for games and pictures etc. but if you are using the machine for work then i feel that the tab A wins here. because the screen is not sharp, it does not heat up that much compared to tab s and battery lasts longer. btw. i have the 8" and recently bought the 9.7" ..

  • Yes

  • You need to skip this tablet for this screen in 2015!

  • If size is not really that big of a deal, get the Galaxy Tab 8.4 Pro. Its only 30 dollars more (in my region) but is twice as fast, has a way better screen resolution, and has a better processor. The 8.4 came out in 2014 and is so much better than this. You'll notice it when you're on Netflix, on YouTube, or even just browsing on the internet. The 9.7's video quality is just bad. The only thing this one has going for it is that it has a 6000mAh battery that does make it last longer than the 8.4 model.

  • You'd be better off with one just in case

  • Does this Tab heat up quickly while playing game online? Please confirm. I'd like to get one too. Thanks.

  • Is the device need a screen protector??

  • it's simply great.

  • 1024x768@2015= disaster

  • I like it so much . Big in size like ipad , simple easy as usually samsung

  • tab a is it ok to buy

  • 1024 x 768 for year 2015?

  • By the way it's tab a not tab s2.

  • I believe everyone can see every single pixel on this thing. It is too low res.

  • to low density

  • I'm a big fan of samsung i used all of samsung's flagship phone ,phablet ,tablet and smartwatch, but tab S2 is the worst tablet from samsung. i mean 4:3 IS SUCK!!!!! i rather use the old and slower tab s 8.4 or 10.5 instead of tab s2

  • No, it's terrible. Going from a high density pixel tablet to this has been painful for my eyes. Literally.

  • is the screen good for reading ????

  • Hi, I how can I enable multiuser mode in this device

  • Does the function of Samsung note10.1 when it regards to S-pen use, included in this tablet?

  • What are the main difference betwewen Samsung Tab A 9.7 vs Samsung Tab A 8.O. Or they are the same function and feature?

  • Its a great tablet. M really impressed with it. But i have only one complaint about this that it has only 2gb ram and not 3gb ram😢😢

  • Yes, with LTE version

  • yes there is a tab like this i have one. look things up before you say somthing. :)

  • does it have a clear display??

  • Amazing tab i just bought it and i feel very good it has style like s6 i Also have an ipad but ipad is poor

  • Amazing tab i just bought it and i feel very good it has style like s6 i Also have an ipad but ipad is poor

  • Buy this tab with your eyes closed.Perhaps its the first samsung tab with microsoft apps like powerpoint,excel,and the battery charge much more faster than draining,2-3 hours and fully charge.I have this tab,quite amazing.ITS LIKE S6 BUT BIGGER SIZE.

  • Hahaha.... is it a joke???? 132ppi....

  • People might as well get a Lenovo Tab 2 A10. Same price. IPS display....

  • Yes... Its really ridiculous that 130ppi for 9.7 inches screen.. Even low grade brands - micromax, xiaomi are producing better displays for tabs..

  • does it have all the functionality of a phone??

  • Terrible pixel density. Expect to see pixels the size of a watermelon.

  • I just bought it yesterday and now it is hanged.. I was going to clear the RM an it suddenly froze... I can't even turn it of or reboot it... Omg I wnna cry

  • In front of you

  • Buy this tab with your eyes closed.Perhaps its the first samsung tab with microsoft apps like powerpoint,excel,and the battery charge much more faster than draining,2-3 hours and fully charge.I have this tab,quite amazing.ITS LIKE S6 BUT BIGGER SIZE.

  • I just bought this tab 3 days ago, and I love it! it's cheaper but very good. The battery last long.

  • Nothing flash on tabs .. except tab S :)

  • I thinking of get one, but how do I decide GSM or WF, and how much ram, 16 or 32, and pen or no pen, and protective cover, which style. Too many choices, I wish Samsung would have thought of these for me so I don't have to.

  • There is none the only Samsung tablet is the galaxy tab pro 10.1 and 12.2

  • Can we use it for making calls ?

  • yes

  • Yes All cellular tabs mostly can use whatsapp and viber.

  • Where is the flash for the camera?

  • is it this tab can use whatsapp???

  • is this tab can use whatsapp?

  • can i whan samsung galaxy tab a 9.7

  • Why not showing the GPU model use

  • The Samsung galaxy tab A 9.7 with S pen is a great device. Keep going samsung

  • Samsung... what have you done?! Moving away from the widescreen format is a major major mistake. If I wanted an Apple, I would have purchased one, (never!).

  • Can you use the Microsoft office offline? Does this have OTG/USB Host?

  • It lasts about 4 to 5 days when using about2 hours per Day.

  • the aspect ratio is only good for s pen.

  • What is the difference between with pen and not.In myanmar,tab with pen are offically sold.please let me know.thanks..

  • GPU = graphics processor unit

  • Thanks

  • what's the GPU?

  • Battery lasts me all day. But I guess it would depend on what you are doing. For me it has great battery life.

  • Blank Space! "'Coz u know they love the players, and they love the GAME!"... 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.!

  • Dose any1 know battery live of tab a 9.7 . Its enough for one day use? Plz replyme

  • No, wifi only

  • can i make calls using this tab

  • Anyone can confirm for me: Does this product have a full phone functionality ? Thanks.

  • Why a 10" tablet with android is a tablet, and a 10" tablet with windows is not a tablet.

  • I love the Samsung Tab A. It was affordable and has great response time. I traded it in my Tab 4 8.0 at Best Buy for $119.00 to help pay for my Tablet. I have 3 or 4 Dell tablets and it is has frustrating response time. It is good to have a Tablet that works well. I have the Samsung Gear S, the Note 4 and Now the Tab A. All of my devices sync seemlessly and I will not ever by any Apple products. If you want a good tablet the Samsung Tab A is the one to buy. Now I need a Supercase to protect it.

  • Seems like this tablet is begging to be slaughtered by the iPad Air. Kudos to Samsung for giving it a totally affordable price. /s

  • wow it looks so nice but I cant Afford it.

  • If it like 267 ppi I still buy it, but under 200 ppi sorry I should go for Tab S

  • 75% to 100% profit LOL

  • It looks like a good tablet, but just the display need more ppi. 132ppi is not enough.

  • Actually specs are very nice. I still use iPad with 132 ppi and it is sufficient for me. 4:3 aspect ratio and standard resolution 1024x768 are great. TFT display = no pentile = very sharp screen. SD card slot is a big plus. Potentially great battery life. I really like it. I'm sick of megapixel and mega ppi wars which just slows performance and lowers battery life. Thank you Samsung !!!

  • Most of the Samsung products are over priced in India. I think the dealer may get 75% TO 100% PROFIT.

  • Overpriced rubbish!!

  • 132 ppi?! 300 euro?! I would buy it if it was 50!

  • you are right. rupish

  • It's seems that, they have lot of old hardware in Stock.

  • Please try to use it first before spewing nonsense!!!

  • They are giving their customers more options in the gap between the tab 4 and the tab s. We all know the Tab S is superior to Apple in every way.

  • The f*ck is doing samsung? They are going back to the tab 2? Disgusting by this tablet

  • I hate samsung tablets because thay all have very cost

  • At least it has more ram than all apple iPods iPads and I phones except iPad air 2

  • hahah you are so right

  • Holy crap.. 130 DPI.. better use it for bill boards.

  • I think what it make so pricey is the "A" series that use metal bezel like a*p*e

  • I hate Samsung devices because even their low end devices are too expensive and that's kind of frustrating. that's why in Nigeria both Tecno and Infinix and Innjoo are far better options to Samsung.

  • Dont worry samsung will sell it at 30,000 and we will buy it( I will not)

  • very bad device. 2015 132 ppi???? ha ha ha samsung!

  • its 2015 and 132ppi screen? really?

  • I can't believe you people overlooked the battery capacity. With a less power consuming cpu and 132ppi on a 6000mAh battery, this device could have extraordinary battery endurance! Plus the fact that this is a midrange device would be revolutionary.

  • the most awful screen I have ever seen.hd for 10" with awful ppi.why sam?and quad1.2 cpu? don't kidding samsung

  • looks like mid range tablet...but worse compared to other samsung tablets...

  • only 5 mp camera, no flash and 132 ppi pixel density. what is this, tab or joke?

  • A useless product!!! 2015 and these specs ! much better devices are available at this price range. only 5MP camera. it's better to avoid it

  • Don't like the aspect ratio (it's good for viewing photos but not good for viewing videos) and definitely don't like the extremely low pixel density. I can't think of any other modern device that has a pixel density as low as this! So promising with the quad core processor and 2GB of RAM but let down with the screen. I just hope it's extremely cheap otherwise it won't sell.

  • It seems Samsung makes fun of us. With this price we could get a tablet with at least full FHD display, SC 801 (Quad core 2.3 Ghz) chipset and better battery

  • This is good device

  • what the hell is clear in 132ppi its waste even than 1100

  • if you want a cheaper tablet and 273 ppi pixel density and better specs,go fo lg g pad 8.3

  • 132 ppi pixel density?!? This device is a Waste of money

  • wil it work on GPRS?
