SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab A, 8.0" Tablet 32GB (Wi-Fi), Silver

I have been using this tablet for a couple days and have found some features that I really love. The packaging was easy to open and everything I needed to get started was right at my fingertips upon opening the box. The instructions were clear, and I really didn't even need to read the pamphlet, as the on screen instructions led me through the set-up process pretty easily. This Samsung Galaxy tablet was extremely easy to get started with. I have never had a Samsung Galaxy product before, but if I had had one, I could have uploaded all my documents/pictures/files using the cloud that Samsung provides. This was also an option using my google drive, so that was nice. I had a couple issues getting all my files transferred over, but I overall, it was a seamless process that worked quite well. The set-up took me about 30 minutes from start to finish, and I was ready to begin installing my apps within 20 minutes. I opted out of the option to install all the apps I use on my phone, because I am going to use the tablet for reading and more pleasure-type activities than work-related. I attached a picture so you can get a good idea about the size. This is my number one complaint about the product. I am a female, and I have really small hands, so this size is awkward for me. I need to use two hands to hold it steady, and it is a little cumbersome feeling to me. My husband tried the tablet, and he didn't feel this way, so it just depends on the size of your hands. I'm sure the average person would find this table to be a nice sized device. It's not overly heavy, so sitting in bed and reading is no problem. I would say that it weighs much less than the average chapter book. The tablet connected seamlessly to my WIFI and the internet worked really well. I was able to download my mail app and it worked great once I got everything signed in. The charging time took around an hour to completely charge the device, and it came with the charging cable AND wall outlet adapter. this was really nice because most electronics these days only come with one or the other. The charger is a micro USB cable, so it's pretty standard across the board with other charging devices. The only thing I wish it had come with is a screen protector and/or a case. I always feel like a tablet or phone feels so breakable without a case or screen protector. So, if you buy this tablet, make sure you find a good screen protector and case to go along with it. Overall, this is a great tablet with multiple different uses. This would be a great tablet for any age. It's easy enough for younger and older individuals to figure out and versatile enough to be used for many different realms. I'm excited to be able to download some books and games!
