Yesterday we officially attended the official launch of Samsung's newest tablet, the Galaxy Tab A 8 . We first featured that Galaxy Tab A 8 a few days ago, and many of you shared your thoughts on the specs, and features of the tablet.

This is my 2nd purchase of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" Tablet in less than two weeks. Yeah, birthdays gifts for my son's 13th birthday and my adorable wife's birthday. The Tab A fits our needs perfectly. From downloading games to watching live streams of our favorite t.v.

I was a little anxious about purchasing outside the Apple product family. But with their need take all the ports off of their computers and phones, along with their prices being so much more, made me want to try something different again. I use this tablet with my Phantom 4 pro drone.

I bought this Samsung tablet for myself at a great price and am extremely happy with it! I got the 8" which is perfect for me so I'm glad I didn't go with the larger screen. I watch my sister cart her 10" tablet around and it looks too bulky for me.

Great looking tablet easy to set up. Love that I can connect it to my phone and if my home internet is down I can then change it over to share my phones data and keep working on the internet.... Hands down this is THE best tablet I've ever owned.....!!!!

Great size, very reliable, holds a charge great. This is the second one I bought, one for my wife and one for my daughter.

I love this handy tablet. It connects fast and easy. The GPS and offline maps with voice directions came in handy when travelling too. Perfect size and price. The screen can show finger prints but will clean easy with a rub from a lint free cloth.

Great features, installed Microsoft Office made it a bonus and aided in my daily work. Quality product with a very responsive touchscreen and an expandable memory storage. Highly recommended!
