SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A9 4G LTE (64GB, 4GB, Cellular) 8.7" Android Tablet, Octa-core (6nm), Dual Speakers (International Model Fully Unlocked for US & Global) X115 (w/ 15W Fast Charger, Graphite)

This is a great little 8.7" tablet! It has a clear, bright OLED screen. No fingerprint detection, but it does do face recognition fairly well as well as PIN.It connected to my wi-fi easily and was upgradable to Android 15 without any trouble. I activated a new number on Boost Mobile with it with zero issues, and it is working well on 4G-LTE when out of wi-fi range. There are plenty of good cases out there for it at reasonable prices- either lightweight +/- BT keyboard, or heavier rugged cases. It did come with an unmarked USB-C charger packed in the plastic bag, outside of the sealed box.The unit is a non-USA model. Mine is actually an Africa model, at least according to the sealed box it came in. That means no USA warranty, I suspect. If that bothers you, get a 3rd-party warranty for it. The IMEI and serial bar codes on the box were over-written with blue marker pen, yet these were the codes belonging to the actual device. The IMEI registered fine with Boost Mobile (Dish Network) as usable with their network as a phone and tablet. Mint, a T-Mobile based MVNO showed non-compatible for use as a phone, as indicated in the description.Very happy with it so far. Battery life is good, screen is great.

Bought because sometimes my phone is just s not too small. Very happy with the size and ease of set up; basically had it copy my Samsung phone so setup was a breeze. Some settings are hard to find in the menu. It's been pretty quick, hardly any loading issues for apps and games. I do not have it on cell network, only wifi. Very bright glare but i put a screen protector on it that cut that down significantly. Very responsive and easy to use. Love the size as it's not too bulky or heavy for my hands, as i have tremors and get muscle cramps easily.

This tablet far exceeded my expectations. For a very reasonable price, this is perfect as an entertainment device. The screen is smaller than some more expensive options, but I find I prefer the small screen for travel, which is my main use for it. I really appreciate the lighter weight. If I were watching exclusively at home, I might feel differently. We bought this to replace a Kindle Fire, which is of course even cheaper, but wow, the difference in performance ease of use is just night and day. I thought buying a lower end Samsung might not be as good as some of S-series tablets, but I actually find I prefer this one to the S-series one that I own.

Great tablet for your buck!Fires up fast and streaming is easy! Long battery life!!AAA+++

Best of the budget mini Android Tablets though the screen brightness is still just shy of iPad mini, and too reflective to use outdoors in daylight. Lenovo Tab One is very close second (but with better battery life). For outdoor use, gotta step up to one of the 3 new gaming mini tablets at 3 to 4 times the price (from Lenovo, Red Magic and Huawei ).

Does what I need, not the latest or greatest, but the price is right for what it delivers. It's my ebook, jukebox, travelling tv, and I can get a surprising amount of work done between email, social media, video and photo work, graphic design and presentations. Nice delivery for the size and price.

The tablet lags & functions slowly, and takes forever to recharge. Screen colors are muted. Latest update has caused me more confusion than it's worth. I was really hoping for more functionality. I've had to minimize the number of apps just to keep it functioning. I can't even keep Messenger on it. It often needs to be completely restarted. I really wanted something this size because I already have a larger heavy tablet that works just fine. Not sure if the industry makes what I'm looking for so I don't mean to say that there's anything terribly wrong with this tablet - just that it can't do what I want it to do. UPDATE: THE TABLET DIDN'T MAKE IT 3 MONTHS BEFORE IT DIED.

So, I wanted something smaller as this will be mainly for work. I need something easy to carry on a warehouse floor and watch shows or movies on the plane that wasn't as small as a phone or as big as a laptop. This fit the bill.Great construction, light weight, and fast processing. I downloaded 4 apps at once and they were all done in less than 90 sec. I also downloaded some shows over my hotspot connection, and it sped right through them!My only con is that when I tried to add a line on my VZW plan, they said it's not compatible with their network. Yes, I read the description before I bought it, and it says it works in the US with the major 3 networks. I even tried putting a VZW SIM card from an older tablet (I bought from them) in it and still won't activate.(They did say they would try to get it added so I could put a data plan on in. If they figure that out, I'll update the subject in my review)Wi-fi connection works great and, in the meantime, I can use my phone hotspot to connect.I also love that it is S-Pen compatible. I am a note taker, so this function on a smaller tablet is great! I also have an S7+ (tablet) and it can get a bit awkward taking notes with it if you're not at a desk or table.All in all, great tablet, I don't regret getting it.
