expects you to give your entire identity to google and microsoft for basic functions
will not switch control to my computer for transferring photos to my computer, and cannot move photos to SD card without prompting me to download some ridiculous app. I have seen NO OTHER DEVICE that restricts file transfer like this.

Brought this from a garage sale for a very cheap price ((with no charger)). I purchased a charger for 30.00, did a factory reset and this iPad is brilliant. I made sure all the software updates were done. Screen is brilliant in low light and I use this to take on trips where there is a lot of walking. Will never replace a laptop but is so much lighter to use. Samsung made some excellant products back in the day

My wife bought a Samsung SM-T590 in March 2022. We had some issues with connectivity after 18 months and were concerned that the warranty may be expired. After contacting Samsung they immediately offered free return and repair. All quick turnaround and constant communication. Had the tablet back within 9 days. We live in regional Victoria and considering the covid post go slow were impressed with this speed. Now fixed. Thanks to Kath and all the Samsung team. Dave and Sharon.

I bought this tablet for my mum so she could watch youtube movies and surf the web while she is in bed. It's easy to use and not very heavy, the screen resolution is sharp for a 10 inch tablet. It also has a simulated Dolby atoms sound effect which is a plus for watching movies and TV shows. The camera on this tablet does not produce quality pictures, it can under expose when the ambient light is dark. Video quality from the camera is ok when it's light however it struggles in the dark and produces lot of noise. In addition we do still find sometimes this tablet is a bit laggy when launching applications.
This tablet is suitable for surfing the internet and watching movies but not suitable for taking photos.

Excellent tablet for the price. Lovely amoled screen delivers stunning quality. It is the wi-fi model so its used mainly to surf the web and social media. Can be a bit slow but a restart usually sloves this.

I wanted to be better able to access the Bible, rather than using a paper version. This FAST fantastic tool has a HUGE screen that makes it easy to read and research, and depending on the APP you load, gives access to HEAPS of the newer translations - in one location!
No more wondering what a passage of Scripture means, or what that particular Hebrew or Greek word directly translates to - just look it up - in a flash!
I use Bible Gateway, about $3 month and WOW what a resource! Just imagine how much better the world would be if these tools ha...

I purchased this 10.5 inch tablet (T590 is the applicable model number) with the intention that it be a media server,
with a heavy emphasis on storage, distribution and playback of music. I'm pleased to say it has exceeded my expectations.
This model can take huge SD cards up to 400gb, easily enough to store a large music library, even in uncompressed formats, and it's been great having my whole library readily accessible and searchable. A fussy audiophile, I've used several headphones and earbuds, including what would be regarded as higher ...

Great for watching video when paired with a Bluetooth speaker
Used almost exclusively for showing videos to clients. The size and quality of image is great value. Built-in speaker is a bit weak but when paired with an external Bluetooth speaker, the viewing experience for one person is really very good. Can pick these up $50 cheaper now than what I paid last year.

Transfer photos from camera sd card to Tablet ??
Hi Peter, we have provided a link below to assist you with transferring files from your microSD card to your Tab A. We hope this helps.
Read more Jo Samsung AUCould you please advise a suitable adaptor that will connect with my tablet so I can insert the sd card and down load photos straight on to the tablet.

If your camera uses a microSD card, you are able to insert the microSD card into the Tab A itself.

How fast is the response time when using Facebook on the Galaxy Tab A 10.5" and does FB use a lot of storage space. Also has anyone loaded Facebook "Lite" in preference to standard Facebook? My Tab A is new and I am a "learner user".
Response time of the app is based on various factors. However, if you find that the app starts to lag, we recommend for you to clear its cache via the steps below.
Settings > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear cache...

For further information about the Facebook app, we recommend for you to contact the app developers. Hope this helps. Jo Samsung AUI use a 8" Tab A, about six years old, and have been really impressed by, via the headphone jack, it's sound quality and ability to comfortably drive large full size headphones.
Looking at getting this model primarily as a media server and for watching music videos and concerts. How does the sound quality and headphone driving ability compare to the earlier model, again, only via the headphone jack. Quality of built in speakers isn't of much concern to me.
Sound quality is a fairly subjective topic, Hal. What we suggest you can do is head into your nearest authorised retailer to take a hands on look of the Tab A yourself :)
