My wife insists on having a £400 ipad every few years but this is my 3rd Samsung and my previous 2019 TabA lasted 4 years and was still running well when I updated to this new Samsung TabA8. So how does it compare to previous model? Firstly it's bigger which is great when watching films, it's easy to use and has features that the wife's ipad does not including language translate. The screen is clear but not as detailed as the ipad but you won't notice it when watching films. Battery life isn't as good as my previous Samsung but still lasts 2 days with regular use. The sound however is better and as good as the ipad. So for the money this tablet is a no brainer particularly if you can get it for the £126 I paid.

This is a really good tablet for general use. Just one thing holds it back slightly - screen quality. It isn't an issue in isolation as it's perfectly clear and bright, just that it doesn't tolerate viewing from any angle: it has to be straight on. The point to bear in mind is the price. For the money, the lack of a cutting edge screen is entirely acceptable. The rest of the tablet is very good. It's fast enough unless you want to play demanding games, it has great speakers, it has sufficient memory for day to day use, decent battery life, reasonably quick charging, it has a quality feel in the hand and above all it's a Samsung product, so you can expect it to work for you for a long time. Samsung has promised security updates for 3 years, and that likely means updates to new Android versions too. I'm really happy with this tablet.

Excellent seller; fast and efficient delivery A+++++++

I'm not gaming on this tablet, just watching videos, but it's super responsive and works very well. I love Samsung and whilst this might be the old tablet, it's still really good.I didn't want to go cheap with this one (even though this is still a good price) - tablets can deteriorate quickly, especially the cheaper ones, but I have a feeling this is going to last me a long time.The battery life is really good, the quality is really good and the screen resolution is decent. Wish it was 1440p and I dont need a camera but meh, it works well.

I bought this to replace an Ipad that died after some years of service.This was at less than half the price of a replacement Ipad, probably far, far less actually as I wanted something that would take a SIM card, not the dongle I used for the Apple.I really am pleased with it. My only irritations are that Android applications have far more adverts and they are very much more intrusive that those that used to come with the "free" Ipad applications, the touch screen does not feel quite as positive as the Ipad was, some selections being a bit fiddly and needing a few dabs with the digits.Anyway I'm sold on the unit, I dont claim to be an expert or indeed use many applications, but I find it fast and effective.

This is my 3rd Samsung tablet.The picture quality is really clear, audio is fine, runs fast, dead easy to set up.Battery life is fine, charging fast.Nice display, easy to use & settings are simple to navigate for maintenance.Value for money, recommended.
