I'm a student and I use my tablet in all of my lectures. It is so helpful for me to be able to record lectures and play them back as I go through my notes and see what I wrote when what was said!
I also downloaded a bunch of games and it's a lot of fun to play them on a such a big screen. Such a refreshing change from the small screen of my phone.
The display on this tablet is awesome with color that pops. The camera works well, and the stylus totally rocks. I like that I'm able to add a 64 GB micro SD card for additional memory., and after I installed the Google keyboard app, I decided I do not need a bluetooth keyboard.
Unfortunately a few factors have pulled my rating down from straight 5s to an average of maybe 3. After only three months, the device is totally dead. I will be without it for maybe two weeks while waiting for repair. THREE MONTHS! Unacceptable.
I have not found anything in the Samsung bloatware that adds value. IMO, that stuff just takes up valuable storage space, and it cannot be uninstalled.
The device has a major design flaw: I discovered that with the power connector on the bottom and the on/off button on the top edge, I am unable to conveniently use it to play audiobooks while plugged in, at least while it's placed in a holder. The power cord must be up, and to "wake up" the screen to pause the book, I must pick up the holder to access the power button on the bottom. Far better to put both on the same edge, or at least put the on-button on the end.
Finally, this is picky, but the serial number is in 3 point type on the back. I need a magnifying glass to read, even with my glasses on. Why?
Perhaps this product is as good as they get in every aspect but durability, but there is definitely room for improvement.
This is my favorite tablet that I own in the 10 inch size range that is android based. It is fast, responsive, and has several great features built-in. I love the s-pen and also the screen resolution is awesome. The addition of a Micro-SD slot was genius also, because it keeps you from being limited in storage space. I love this tablet.
