Hot garbage.
Camera is absolute crap in all conditions. I would actually prefer it not be there. Just makes it wonky on a table and buying a case for this sh't is just a further waste of money.
It's no wonder they didn't bother to include A GODDAMN FLASHLIGHT!

For sure this is better than a older used ipad. However its worth stretching to a 8th or 9th gen ipad for 2x++ performance. All those complaining about battery, turn off all the things you don't need like location, find my device etc. Wifi is too variable on this so keep it at home on a router that its happy wit.

Best money/hardware ratio on the market!!!!! It's not very fast for decoding video.

I just got this tablet (Feb 2023) and it had at least 4+ major OS updates pending; my advice: skip/decline through all the setup, don't sign into anything, just get to the system settings and update it all the way, then set it up fresh from there. Probably save yourself a ton of time and potentially start with a cleaner slate.
TBC on overall opinion but the price is definitely right, and was even able to trade-in a pretty ancient Samsung device for some credit towards it as well.

It kept dropping internet or going really slow. It was almost unusable. I tried two different Wi-Fi and one hotspot and it was still garbage. I finally got a new phone service with hotspot that actually worked on the tablet. I have read others with the same complaints. Why Samsung hasn't fixed this Wi-Fi issue, I don't know. I will just be using it on the new hotspot for now.

Buy this tablet only if you are looking for something to watch youtube, movie surfing internet, instagram, facebook etc. and light gaming such as 2,5D games, point and click games etc. Tripple A games will run but, due to ram and CPU limitations, even though GPU is ok, it's not gonna be smooth. Another thing is, the UI and Launcher is not so smooth with A13 update. Sometimes you wait couple of seconds to see apps in main screen after you open the screen lock. Not great, not terrible.

QUESTION ~~ I'm waiting for mine to come on February 4th, but I'm pretty computer illiterate. All I do is check email, a little social media, and play a few games. Once in awhile I will save something to refer to later. The main reason for buying the tablet is so I can see things better on a bigger screen. Is this a good tablet for me?

I have the A8, and I play relatively basic games on it ok enough. For the first while when I got it, it would barely connect to my home wifi, and only other people's wifi and my mobile Hotspot. But I updated it from android 11 to 12 and it seems to have sped up some, or maybe it's because i used a different connection but I don't know. Hated it at first though, I got it for Christmas and I couldn't even watch YouTube at 120p on my wifi, it was bad

Sluggish on day 1.
Uncomfortable to hold. Who decided to put the 3.5mm port there??
Screen shows smudges very easily.
No vibrator?! Don’t even try to justify this.
No LED flash. No notification light.
The only positive aspect is the low price, I guess, but it’s still expensive for garbage.

Great budget tab, runs solid if you stick to the basic surfing and occasionally social media. But 32gb is too less, memory extension via sd card is recommended.
