SamsungGalaxy Tab A9 4G LTE (64GB, 4GB, Cellular) 8.7" Android Tablet, Octa-core (6nm), Dual Speakers (International Model Fully Unlocked for US & Global) X115 (w/ 15W Fast Charger, Graphite)

This is a great little 8.7" tablet! It has a clear, bright OLED screen. No fingerprint detection, but it does do face recognition fairly well as well as PIN.It connected to my wi-fi easily and was upgradable to Android 15 without any trouble. I activated a new number on Boost Mobile with it with zero issues, and it is working well on 4G-LTE when out of wi-fi range. There are plenty of good cases out there for it at reasonable prices- either lightweight +/- BT keyboard, or heavier rugged cases. It did come with an unmarked USB-C charger packed in the plastic bag, outside of the sealed box.The unit is a non-USA model. Mine is actually an Africa model, at least according to the sealed box it came in. That means no USA warranty, I suspect. If that bothers you, get a 3rd-party warranty for it. The IMEI and serial bar codes on the box were over-written with blue marker pen, yet these were the codes belonging to the actual device. The IMEI registered fine with Boost Mobile (Dish Network) as usable with their network as a phone and tablet. Mint, a T-Mobile based MVNO showed non-compatible for use as a phone, as indicated in the description.Very happy with it so far. Battery life is good, screen is great.

Great tablet. The size is great, easy to pack away, and it's light. The Screen quality is very good for the price, no lagging and it boots up fast. Cell service on it works very well after working out some issues. On US Mobile the Dark Star network (ATT) it has data and texting only, no phone calls. This was found after extensive work with the US Mobile customer service to attempt to get calls to work. To get the calling to work I changed over to the US Mobile Warp network (VZN) even though they said it might not work. Calls, text and data work great with only missing the WIFI calling ability. It's a bit big for a primary everyday phone, as a backup line and very useful tablet it's a big winner for the price.

So, I wanted something smaller as this will be mainly for work. I need something easy to carry on a warehouse floor and watch shows or movies on the plane that wasn't as small as a phone or as big as a laptop. This fit the bill.Great construction, light weight, and fast processing. I downloaded 4 apps at once and they were all done in less than 90 sec. I also downloaded some shows over my hotspot connection, and it sped right through them!My only con is that when I tried to add a line on my VZW plan, they said it's not compatible with their network. Yes, I read the description before I bought it, and it says it works in the US with the major 3 networks. I even tried putting a VZW SIM card from an older tablet (I bought from them) in it and still won't activate.(They did say they would try to get it added so I could put a data plan on in. If they figure that out, I'll update the subject in my review)Wi-fi connection works great and, in the meantime, I can use my phone hotspot to connect.I also love that it is S-Pen compatible. I am a note taker, so this function on a smaller tablet is great! I also have an S7+ (tablet) and it can get a bit awkward taking notes with it if you're not at a desk or table.All in all, great tablet, I don't regret getting it.

My 10 year old daughter loves it. Works fine. Quality is good.

Love it, it is a little slow sometimes but other than that it works for what I need.

At first for about the first month, I'm not sure that if it's because using lotion or body oil with my skin, which WILL NOT BE COMING OFF SCREEN, BELIEVE ME, but the screen wouldn't tap like I wanted or type, and I tried configuring it however I could, I don't know whether that solved it. But currently it's not being a problem anymore, it's like it just got better over time. The part you must have a bit of time to truly appreciate, was the display quality, it's fantastic out of the box straight out the box, but let me tell you, I watched a ton of Netflix on this as soon as I got it, so after a while like why I'm writing this a month later, the quality is amazing, it's not only 8" or "oled", ok, get it right, this thing is 8" + oled, that you can hold to your head, no glare, "as if that's even a problem for it", with the size, instead of so big, your eyes are wowed but can't take every bit in, with this, it looks fabulous at the same time your eyes catching everything -because, it's only 8". It's not a strain for the eyes because it's oled, black is actually black. Battery is, I'm not the best person to answer that, I say darn decent, because I believe it's about as good as my phone, I mean, that's why it's in my opinion good, my phone only watching videos on full volume lasts 7 -8 or -9 hours, and this is basically 3 of them together in size, and would still last. Whoever says, 7-8 hours of screen time before your device dies "could be better" is either a nimrod or has been having way too much damn money on their hands and doesn't know, good battery life, even is, which I feel I wish we could fill a landfill all with those types of people. Even better than I expected while having windows, tabs, apps open at once, and a few running in the background, this will not go dead as long as your attention span will probably hold even then. I've had no problem with wifi working fast, and I just upgraded to 200gbs fiber. I stay home, and all I do is on my devices all day, and I can't seem to scramble this thing with running tasks, jolting between apps or anything I do on it. I tried a wifi call once, I need to test that more, all I can gripe about this tablet, whatsoever, is that I wish the onboad speakers, I have Bluetooth connected speakers and a gaming controller, were louder and the mic was more capable, but it's only been my experience so far. I think it's better at the time this came out than anything else at the time or since, except the iPad mini pro, there may be other 8" tablets, but what makes this better, it's the easy to use due to it being a samsung with the api and android 10. Specs don't mean crap, if it's not easy to use. You're welcome.
