What the experts say

8 /10

The Verge thought the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 was a good, cheap tablet. It had a nice display, good sounding speaks and a battery life that will get you through a Netflix binge easily. It also has the build quality that you would expect from a Samsung product. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 wasn't the fastest and it only came with 3GB but this was felt to be OK if you are mainly looking for a media tablet. The camera was a bit rubbish.

Tom's Guide gave the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 high praise calling it the "best iPad alternative". While the performance was a bit lacking and the screen was a bit dim, the strong battery life, thin bezels and biometric security meant it still got a good score. If Samsung could iron out a couple of kinks then it could reign over the tablet market.

Laptop Mag liked the battery life, display and speakers on the Tab A7. Its mediocre performance power (which struggled a bit with high-end games) stopped it being a high-end performance - however, it is probably the best mid-market tablet ou there and 13 hours of battery life is not to be sniffed at.

Good tablet
I like it but there are a couple issues. The included adapter does not fast charge, and only the hard to find samsung adaptive fast charger will. The screen is a fingerprint magnet so get a screen protector and a case.

Pros: Great sound quality and a good size
Cons: The expandable storage is only for files, so no space for apps on the memory card.It says 32 GB but because of the software that's built into it, you end up only having 20gb.If you have more than 2 apps open it causes it to lag and stutter.

Pros: This tablet is the first I've had so I have no others to compare it with. It was recommended to me by someone who had used the Galaxy 7 for several years.It does everything efficiently that I was told it should do.
Cons: I would have given this top marks but hesitate to recommend it due to my ignorance of any others and the fact that it does not support an instruction manual in English.The one thing that I do feel strongly about is that it does not support a handbook in English.As a newbie to smart phones and tablets I find this lack astounding and I think this should have been made clear in the product descrition.No doubt I can access the info I need elsewhere but it ought to be available on the tablet if it's to be sold in the UK.

Nice little tablet.
Nice tablet. Snappy. Excellent screen quality. I love the feature that I can make phone calls from it using my Samsung phone connected to it. Camera quality is decent. Gaming performance is not bad either. I use it for some music software and occasional browsing, I'd say for under $200 it's a much better deal than iPad.

Good tablet
The pad has worked well so far. Did note, that with minimum apps, only 14 gigs of memory was available, so had to purchase memory card.

Nice Tablet
I bought this tablet for my Daughter for Xmas. Got the tablet on sale during the holidays. She watches steaming tv mostly on it. The sound and picture quality is good for the price. Google has much better apps for What She needed. She has the Amazon HD 10 Fire tablet. This tablet didn't have the apps needed. The Samsung tablet has a Micro SD slot. Bestbuy specs list a non Micro SD expansion. Got her a 128 gb Micro SDcard for more storage. All in all a very good Tablet for the price.

Pros: Quick responsive and easy to use
Cons: Unable to move any apps to sd card with only 32Gigs of which 20G filled with a few extra apps and operating system and 128 gig sd card being redundant makes this as useful as a paper weight. Do not buy this product

Excellent value for the price
Mostly use for mobile gaming. Tried to play PS4 remote play and it worked, only issues is that the dual shock isn’t compatible to use it to play, but you can pair the dual shock via Bluetooth to play other games. Sound it’s great and build quality it’s better than iPad. Speed is seamless.

Speaker is the best for all the tablets in the market. Screen and performance are reasonable in this price range. It is good enough for daily browsing and video playing. Price is really attractive.

Samsung tab A 10.4 is a reliable and well designed
This one does everything it says on the box and is excellent value. My only complaint with this model is Samsung have removed a couple of features that were available on all my previous machines. I read the specifications before buying this model and it did mention that the file manager (My Files) does not give you access to your cloud account. You can use Google Drive but it was better using Samsung's My files. This is retrograde step that I was not expecting.
