SM-T290NZKAXAR, Galaxy Tab A 8.0" 32 GB Wifi Android 9.0 Pie Tablet Black 2019

This tablet is replacing a first gen Galaxy tab. It was a great tablet but time has taken it's toll and it was time to replace it. I have a 2017 Tab A and love it so this one was for my wife. . This is a great improvement over the 2017 version. Both are running Android 9.0 smoothly. Battery life on both is amazing (we charge them 1 or 2 time a week and they see 4 to 5 hours use daily). Screens are also amazing. This tablet ups the stakes with the return of auto brightness setting and what appears to be a better camera setup (the reality of it is that both have pretty good cameras for a tablet) Samsung also did away with some of the bloatware (THANK YOU SAMSUNG!!) They got rid of that stupid Bixby home thing (I finally was able to disable it on my 2017 after the latest Android update). There is some other bloat ware that was also not included (like half a gig worth!) Speed for both is the same. Now there are some steps backward. They moved back to a micro USB charging (the 2017 had USB C) and the speakers are not as nice (in real world performance- no idea on the spec sheet). Also they removed the physical home/back/list buttons from the bezel and put a virtual back and list button on the screen space. THe home button is gone completely and you have to use the power button now (A HUGE step back!). With the buttons gone now the bottom of the tablet has this 3/4" bezel at the bottom that does nothing but make the tablet longer than it needs to be. Bottom line this is a great tablet. It is fast, powerful and with a micro SD card installed has a ton of storage. At the current price (under 0ne hundred and twenty bucks!) it is a steal.

Extremely Honest Seller and Great Products

I got the 8-inch T290. If you are aware of what you are getting for your money, this tablet is worthy of five stars. No it doesn't have the top processor speed or display resolution. It's a budget tablet at a really good price (especially if you catch it on sale), and you get a lot of bang for your buck. The display is 1200 X 800 pixels which qualifies as HD, but not ultra HD. What counts the most when it comes to font legibility on screens is pixel density. A 1200 X 800 8-inch display has a pixel density of right at 180 pixels per inch (PPI), and that's not too shabby. My 6th generation Kindle Paperwhite has a pixel density of just over 210 ppi, so this tablet isn't too far from that. If small fonts are hard to read, you can scale up the fonts and size of things in the settings. The display also has good color and contrast, and is plenty bright. The blue light filter app included doesn't offer as many options as I like, so I add one from the Google Play store. And speaking of that, with an Android tablet (and this one comes installed with Android Pie) you do have full access to Google Play store. The sound is a lot better than I expected, and that can be enhanced even more with a third party volume booster. And I find an 8-inch tablet is just the right size. A 10.1-inch tablet is too cumbersome in my opinion, and a smart phone is too small. And an 8-inch tablet like this one will fit in the back pocket of men's pants. (But not so much if you have it in a case.) And at just 12 and a half ounces, it's a lot lighter than a 10.1-inch tablet. So understand what you're getting, don't expect top of the line, but you get a good tablet for the price.

I was looking for a sub-$150 tablet that I can share with prospective foster kids, and wanted access to the Play Store to improve versatility for multiple age groups and broaden the possible usage range, e.g. downloading Android apps that might be needed to complement with STEM toys along the way. Between the Lenovo Tab 4 8 and the Galaxy Tab A, I chose the Samsung because of its higher RAM (2 GB vs. 1 GB on the Lenovo). In less than an hour, I was able to set up my own walled garden by creating 2 user profiles -- my own with all my usual apps including my Kindle library, Skype, Youtube and Chrome, and the kids profile where I enabled only the kid-friendly apps and excluded Chrome browsing. For the kid apps - I downloaded a plethora of free educational apps (Khan Academy, Khan Kids, Duck Duck Moose, Starfall, National Science Foundation Science Zone, YouTube Kids, and Scratch Jr). They all seem to run fine, but I will update after a few placements when they get more mileage. For the adult usage - the form factor was great for Kindle and for casual Youtube viewing, but Web browsing was laggy (pictures take time to load) and the 8" screen isn't really big enough to view websites in landscape comfortably. It's very convenient to tote it around the house while conversing on Skype, but the button to switch from rear to front camera is fiddly and not very responsive. Screen size probably played a role here, because the inset showing what the camera is capturing is already small, and you have to press a tiny button within that to toggle between the two cameras. In summary -- in the 8" format, this is a basic device aimed at simple uses, with screen size being a limitation to the complexity of the content you will want to consume on it.

مواصفات جيدة استخدمه لتعليم الأطفال

5年使い続けています。 まず難点からいうと、しばらく画面を落としたあと久しぶりに使おうとすると動作が結構重いです。そこにWi-FiやらBluetoothやらをつないだりアプリを開くなどいろいろタスクを要求していると、その分しばらく操作できません。特にネットにつないでYouTubeやネトフリの動画を見るのは重いので、ある程度忍耐が必要です。たまに「アプリが応答していません」と出ます。ただ、動作が重いのは決して永遠には続かず、しばらく使い続けていれば動画も含めて徐々に普通に見れるようになります。また同様に、動画編集も最初こそカクカクするものの、焦らず粘ればできるようになります。 もう一つ難点を挙げるなら、充電の差し込みがタイプCでなく従来型のandroid仕様になっている点かな。まぁでもものぐさして同じタイプCの充電器をスマホにもタブレットにもみたいに使い続けていたら疲弊するので、強制的に分散できていると考えれば特に気になりません。 個人的なニーズとして語学オタクなので、日本語英語以外に言語設定が豊富かどうかが購入の決め手でした。中東、東南アジアやインド、東欧や旧ソ連圏の言語も含めてちゃんとカバーされています（さすがに少数言語は厳しい）。ほとんどポルトガル語とドイツ語にしか設定したことがないので宝の持ち腐れですが、個人的には絶対あってほしい点でした。 ずっと使い続けているからか電池の持ちが悪くなっているかどうかは実感はできませんが、充電は結構時間かかります。今のところ付属の充電器でしか充電したことはなく、確か届いた直後に付属ではないUSBケーブルを付属のプラグにつないで充電したら「正規品使ってほしいかも」みたいな警告が出ました。別に正規品を使えばいいだけの話なので、以後ずっと従ってます。パソコンとかとデータをやり取りするときにも付属のUSBケーブルがそのまま使えます。充電の遅さが買ったときと比べてどうかは覚えていないので比較できませんが、もちに関しては一応5年経った今でもさほど気にならない程度です。Bluetoothでスピーカーとつなげて音楽をかける程度だったら数時間もちます。ネットでいろいろ調べたり動画見たりしていればそりゃ減りは早いです。 だから基本オフラインでいろいろやれることがある人には向いているかも。上述した動画編集も、アプリをインストールするには当然ネットにつなぎますが、編集作業自体はオフラインでもできるので問題ありません。動画視聴に関しても、SDカードなどに保存してある動画をオフラインで見るなら大して重くもありません。 短気な私の荒い使い方に5年も付き合ってくれているので、星は5としておきましょう。

Very good

Cette tablette a été livrée très rapidement; j'ai pu l'installer et la configurer facilement. La qualilté de l'image, et le son sont très bien. La fluidité d'exécution des commandes est très bien; la réponse est instantanée. Aucun problème pour installer les applications, contrairement à certaines autres marques qui n'ont pas les configurations requises pour certaines applis. Avec une carte micro SD cela devient très intéressant pour stocker vidéos et photos sans crainte de surcharger l'espace de stockage intégré. J'aurais toutefois aimé avoir sur ce modèle une mémoire RAM de 3 Gb pour qu'elle soit efficace plus longtemps, mais pour le moment elle remplit très bien sa tâche.

Ich habe ihn mir als "Kleinteil" zum Ipad air gekauft. Und benutze nur noch ihn. Macht alles bestens.
