Review on πŸ“± Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7-inch, 8 GB Wi-Fi Tablet (Black) SM-T280NZKAXAR by Rod Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Small size (Cheers) But little space (Boo)

Can't complain for the price. It does the job well enough, but the limited internal storage is a major drawback no matter how much you stuff into the SD card slot. You can tell it to move or install apps to the SD card, but only a fraction of the data goes there, and about half of that stays on the internal storage. I ran out of storage several times and only had a few apps installed. Basically, you can't install games if you need other apps on the device, and a number of free apps that actually work on it are considered unsupported by the Google Play Store and won't be installed from there, e.g. B. Folding @ Home (if you get the apk and install it manually, it works great). It's a fast device, the screen looks good and it's been running fairly stable since day one. I only wish there was a 16GB model in this size range, as the smaller size makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. Plug an OTG adapter into your wireless keyboard/mouse and you can use it almost like a laptop (albeit with incredibly tight storage).

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
