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.

I am a lifer Samsung tablet owner.It'sy my 4th Sprint contract toy. one day after receiving it it fell from my car roof into the road and an oncoming car ran straight over it, both tires.. I was crying..lol. But lo and behold there wasn't even a scratch..good job.. Samsung Galaxy tablet for life.

Words cannot describe how frustrated I am with this sorry device. I formerly had an other brand of tablet which after several years finally had to be replaced and I thought this Galaxy A8 would be a fitting replacement but after the first month, I found that I was wrong.

Just like the one I had when I first purchased my tablet. Had a little trouble snapping it in. The one I had first was a lite blue and showed the dirt real bad. This is so much better(its black). I would recomend this cover.

As I said in the title, its a bit aggravating when it does not respond to tap. Sometimes I have to tap several times. does not seem to matter if I use finger or stylus. The sound is mediocre at best, but I guess that is an issue with many tablets. It is ok with earbuds, but still not great.

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 have been using it for about a month now. It is a bit slower than my ipad mini2 and the camera is not as good but I use it for ebay ,netflix and online shopping as well as email and flipboard .It does all of that well and has faster wifi than my ipad did.

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!
