Samsung Galaxy Tab J - User Reviews

  • can change language to japanese ?

  • how to record voice on Samsung Galaxy Tab J?

  • so badly CPU SPD and the RAM it's useless

  • It's an entry level tablet which means it doesn't have high specs. The worst thing about it is the internal storage. 8 GB is terribly low. You can't possibly install enough apps. Even OfficeSuite app doesn't work properly. And also Facebook app isn't good to install. Only Facebook Lite works. As for me, this one is only good if you want to use DTP apps, especially when you want to type. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

  • People have unreasonably high expectations for a $79, now a $19 phone.

  • nope

  • Got this model SM-T285YD, sent by my aunt from Taiwan and it is launched there as Tab J. Same specs as the J MAX. I got 2 of them and both have annoying backlight bleed. The gold one I got has the worst. The UI is not so smooth compared to my Asus Budget Phone (ZB551KL). The Camera is good.. tho 8MP, better color reproduction than my Asus. The security Patch is still October 2016 and I believe will not be updated anymore. My asus got updated to MAY 2017 patch considering this was release MAY last year. The SD 400 of my asus is faster and can playback 1080p 60FPS while this model can NOT playback 60FPS video smoothly. The screen quality is nice tho. Way better than the TFT of my ASUS. Good for Media consumption (Movies, TV shows, Youtube). Music? my ASUS is way better, Thanks to it's audio manager. This Tab has NO built in music player. (Not sure about the J Max) The 8GB will hinder you if you install a lot of apps. Just make sure to monitor your storage and remove obsolete files.

  • Home Button and Power Button Simultaeneously

  • How can I screenshort in Tab J

  • NO 1080p 30FPS! only 720P. I have this unit.

  • A 6 basically has sd 410 chip while tab j has spreadtrum chip ...... They keep putting different names in different countries .... They are selling the weaker spreadtrum chip in most countries

  • Ok, can anyone let me know what is the differences between G Tab J and G A6? I know its same 7 inch. 😅

  • galaxy tab j is dual sim ?

  • Super mobile

  • is this good

  • will tab J get marshmallow or Noughut update?

  • yes it supports otg (on the go) but no compasss

  • Can it support otg??

  • Single sim (j) Dual sim (j max ) video 1080p@30fps ( j) video 720p@30fps ( j max ) The all specifications same

  • Single sim (j) Dual sim (j max) The rest is same

  • What is the difference between tab j n j max

  • Is this tab j support otg

  • samsung in india providing low quality product at high cost rate comprising to all brand availaible in india.

  • Why are Samsung still releasing tabs/phones with only 8Gb of memory.

  • This tab really is confusing. While the ''J'' range is usually lower-end than the ''A'' one, this one is actually superior to the Galaxy Tab A 2016 (7.0), with OTG and better camera. I really am wanting to know if there will be a 4G-LTE variant, so that we could see it as a Galaxy J Max Pro (as it has some better specs too)

  • Hi Both are horrible but : In j max more than tab j !!! ...

  • Okay, we have samsung galaxy J and galaxy J max? So whats the main diferences anyway? Chip listed is same, blur.
