After two years of daily use of 14-18hrs of use a day, everything is still working. The battery doesn't last as long as it use to but for as much as I use it everyday, the battery has been a champ! The only thing I wish this had was more internal memory. It's taken over 2 years, but I'm having to delete apps to make room for new ones. So I'm having to evaluate how often I use some, or which I want more. Adding more external memory doesn't solve this problem because the apps aren't transferable to external storage. My only complaint about this tablet.

We have been using this tablet for more than 1 year and I have to say that I am very satisfied with it, the quality of the screen is very good, we watch many series on it and listen to music on it. The good thing is that it comes with capacity for an sd card and the truth is very good value for money.

I bought this years ago, to replace an iPad. I liked it better than the iPad, but it was an unfair comparison, considering that this was a few years newer and of course uses newer technology.

The screen is sharp, the colors nice, and it works fine with my Wi-Fi. I use it primarily for couch-surfing and to read the morning e-newspaper. I check the weather on it and do a few other things.

Years later, it's as bright as ever, and the battery doesn't seem to have lost any of its potential.

ALERT: My review is not so much about the tablet as it is about the OS and apps installed on it.

As far as the tablet goes, its very clean and has a FANTASTIC display when compared to the old Tab 3 8" model its replacing and a really good-sounding Atmos surround system (minus any sign of bass, of course!). Unfortunately, this is a Samsung Galaxy product, and it must written somewhere that Samsung is required to load as much Google crap as they can onto every product they manufacture! After setting it up and screwing with it for 2+ WEEKS (thank goodness I bought it a full month before Christmas, I anticipated this happening), I finally said F#*% it and rooted the damned thing!!! Titanium Backup to the rescue!!!!!

I froze almost 30 apps/services, most of it from Google stuff, and it now runs like a rocket! Battery life is great, with light/medium use it is lasting about 3 days on a single charge. With no use, sitting on my desk, it lasted 12 days without a charge and still had 18% battery life left.

Before root, it would constantly "ding" at me to turn on this, register that, enter my info, log into something, update these apps, etc. After root I was now able to just wait for those few remaining pesky Google warnings to pop up, determine what app was whining and used Titanium backup to freeze it, or just turn off all notifications for that specific app, something Samsung does not allow you to do on 99% of the installed app without rooting the device, even though its possible for them to allow if they really wanted to. I guess all of this in the name of security--or more truful, less tech support requirements from Samsung.

Bottom line here, at least for me, is that this tablet is wonderful, but only if you get rid of all the unnecessary garbage. I highly doubt there's too many folks using a 10 inch tablet to pay via google pay at checkout counters! Most of the time these tabs are used to play videos, watch youtube and browse the internet, and not one of the apps on the stock device does this without a bunch of nagging to register or update them!

compact. Love it
