Piece of junk
Only had 8gb of memory, and as it is limited to Android 5.1.1, it cannot use external storage, meaning you are limited, in our case, to about 10 apps. Admittedly 2 years old now, but essentially a brick, as we cannot update it, nor install new apps. Horrible support from Samsung, an OS update would alleviate the storage issue, alas we are stuck in a 5+ year old os. Probably my most regrettable purchase. I'll think twice about buying from Samsung again.

Good value for purpose
I wanted to purchase a cheap tablet to cast/stream movies etc onto our tv (with the help of Chromecast) and this one was the cheapest i could find at the time, and i am very happy with it. Battery life is great, lasts longer than a week, WIFI connection is good, can be slow at times but that could be due to my location, but not a big issue. The camera on it isnt great, but thats not the reason i purchased it so not an issue for me.

Great value, best reasonably priced tablet on the market
I purchased this tablet to replace my old one and I am very happy with it. While storage can be an issue, it is easily fixed with a 64gb sd card, the only flaws for me, are not being able to install directly to sd card, and the lack of options for securing Bluetooth connection (unable to hide device to all but allowed devices).

Perfect for what I need
Perfect for what I need and perfect size. I think the only thing I would indicate here is that the tablet's system and software already occupies 4.5+GB of memory so out of 16GB, you only truly get around 11.

IT CAUGHT ON FIRE
My daughter's Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7" was 14 months old. She plugged it in to charge overnight and it caught on fire. Smoke alarms went off and woke us up. The house reeked of burning plastic.
On the phone Samsung said all the right things and said to return it to them for review and replacement under warranty. Now they're saying that because i used a third party charger the warranty is void and I'll need to pay $300 to repair a $150 tablet.
I value my child's safety and will not be purchasing or recommending Samsung products to anyone.

Message was sent and Samsung provided yet another polite fob off. Samsung prove yet again that they're very good at saying the right things, but really couldn't care less about faulty products or customer safety.

Worst Tablet!
I was used to a Samsung 8.2 but the battery died after 3 years. Tried an Aldi Tablet for $99 & that was quite a disappointment, BUT compared to this one .. it was a real gem! I couldn't do anything with this as more than half of the 8Gb was taken up with essential running s'ware so I couldn't add photos or anything else with it! All I wanted was for podcasts but it was so totally useless that I couldn't even put my favourite playlists, let alone trying to download even one short story & certainly no more than even three photos! Couldn't add...Read more
OneNote, Messenger which is something that I was used to using on my 8.2" so I added a 32GB sim but I couldn't even add what I needed to the card. I had to return it ... & now purchased a Lenovo which appears better already! Fortunately Officeworks was great about giving me a full refund.Purchased in January 2021 for A$179.00.

Overpriced bottom end tablet at premium price
We had a Tab 3 10.1 for a few years it was too big for around the house, so I bought the Tab A 7.0".
It was one of my worser purchases I have made.
Samsung now fall into the same boat as Apple who use abuse brand loyal customers pockets by using average hardware at top end prices.
For the same price you can get a lenovo tablet with much better hardware specs.
Pros:
- 7" screen is good size for around the house....Read more

Can’t connect to wifi in some instances
Works in some instances but not in the nursing home where it needs to work for translation purposes we have tried by resetting back to factory default at least 4 times
Unit works until I turn it off and then back it says I have a wifi connection but we can’t get internet to use google translate app
Have tried Samsung support and chat line for approx.2hours and quite frankly the responses are a joke and attempts to resolve issue were futile

Does what I need
It is very easy to use and fast. I use it for reading books and I am very happy with it.
I have all the my applications such as skype and camscanner on it so I do not need to have them on my mobile.
I use it to review my studies when I am in the bus after work.

Amazing
The good The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is affordably priced and offers many premium app perks for free. Its microSD slot accommodates cards up to 128GB.
The bad The plastic construction feels cheap, and the single speaker provides weak audio. The text often appears pixelated.
The bottom line The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a simple tablet worth picking up for its low price, and its valuable extras sweeten the deal even more.

Quite a handy unit, a bit slippery for the careless
This tablet does all the things without lagging much after a year or so. The small HDD size is easy to cope with. The thing is sleek and cleans up well. The bloatware doesn't get in the way much and the battery still seems alright, Accubattery says, "91% heath based on 86 sessions with 4,957%% charged for 224,356mAh total."

Won’t beat apple
I normally use my tablet for day to day work, now as converting over to apple I’ll never convert my tablets, as I said apple dose offer hire sercurity but for everyday to day use I’ll go android all the way. It runs perfectly and have never had any issues.

I love this tablet
Great tablet with expandable storage. Very easy to use and I have dropped many times and it still is in one piece.
It is quick in its processes but occasionally does lag sometimes when playing games
Great for business use or for personal and it is user friendly.
Heaps of apps are compatible to the Samsung Galaxy tabA.
Great for kids or Adults

Not enough storage, too much bloatware
Love it as an eReader and for games and puzzles, very handy size. But Samsung has too much bloatware, apps I don't want. Hard to update my apps because I get messages to delete some apps to make room. I have Force stopped a few of the inbuilt apps to get around it. My 16GB phone has no problems, and I wish I'd bought a brand without so much bloatware. Won't be buying Samsung again because of that.

Good value
I don't like Apple products and prefer android, this being Samsung has a more functional layout compared to the standard android. The battery life is excellent and having the battery still like new even though the family uses it every day. I'd recommend and would buy again its a good thing

Very happy
I usually only buy apple products as my phone is an iPhone but overall i have been very happy with this Samsung tablet. Like the iPad this Samsung tablet is very lightweight and has a nice sleek design. I also found this Samasung tablet to be very affordable in comparison to iPads and have had no issues with its performance and battery life so far.

Samsung tablets have come a long way
Wow I remember the first Samsung tablet i bought back in the day which was super slow but the new A tab is 20x faster and can run a lot more apps. The design hasn't changed much but the weight has heaps and holding it feels great and not heavy. The screen display is outstanding too

Can the control buttons. Be moved to the screen?

I'm not sure I'll have to check
Good question
But i would keep the controls as they are
Too much going on in the touch screen already(including upwards touch screen volume slide bar? )
Just be carefull and you get used to the positioning of the buttons, it's bearable.
The next generation model Samsung tablet will be very interesting to see ?
