I got mine back in 2017 & it's still working great. Sure there are better tablets out there but I love my Samsung Galaxy 9.7 & videos like this make me appreciate it more☺
I bought my tab a sm-t555 in 2015 and surprise surprise...still working exceptionally well. Had it not been for newer apps demanding greater capacity,I would use for another 8 years more. Thank you for presenting the truth I observed and witnessed long before I found this video and your brilliant presentation.
Hi Nick. Great video :). I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 and within 30 minutes of getting it all set up got it updated from 5.0.2 Lollipop to 6.0.1 Marshmallow. So far I have not had any problems with it and like it more than my other tablets (a Lenovo a10 10.1 inch which is stuck on the Kit Kat OS and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.8.0 which is still on Jelly Bean and can't be updated).I think this is the best tablet Samsung has done.Also, I don't really see any issues with regards to the display as you point out in your video and in the videos done by other reviewers.
Thank you for your detailed comment Emma, I noticed that Samsung did push out an update, may review that soon. Samsung did a marvelous job, I would have to agree with you on that one. Remember I am coming from the perspective of seeing much higher resolution displays than what the tab a offers, if your not comparing it with like a iPad Retina or Samsung Tab S you will not notice a difference, overall still nice tab :P
Hey nick I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy tab a 9.7 it is supposed to be here Friday Two day shipping it is coming from New Jersey thanks for the wonderful review super detailed information
Good review, I'm getting one of these using loyalty points from my credit card(free is always good). I'd like to know what stand were you using and whether you recommend it for desktop use. Thanks!
thank you Drake, appreciate that :) I use a cheap tablet stand from ebay these are really just meant to hold them for these videos they bounce around a bit actually.
Does the S-Pen work with all models of this iteration? I just bought a $349 S-Pen model from Amazon, but see that they also had a cheaper $197 model...was wondering if I could just buy that instead and a separate S-Pen for note-taking/drawing as needed?
+Kegan Mahon Thank you for your question Kegan. No it does not have the same wacom technology in the regular model. 349$ is a bit steep for this device (imo) with S-pen I have seen them on ebay for 230-275 with spen :P
+EveryThingTech Likely a used or refurbished device at that price, and I didn't want to risk faulty repairs like I did with my Galaxy Note 8. That's what got me into this situation to begin with, my USB not connecting long enough to charge the tablet.
+Android Games Yes it is very good at those tasks because the 4:3 aspect ratio on the device shows more on the screen making it less distracting to have to continuously scroll :)
+Phuck Coocle Apple has historically proven to be a better gaming machine from my experience. The only tablet if you really want android for gaming I would recommend at the same level of apple would be the Nvidia Shield
Nick, when I take my tablet to other wifi zones it tells me wifi is available but when I go to wifi settings it says I do not have permission to change/add new wifi.I something locked? Robyn
Uh, somehow you forgot to mention that those two speakers give a minimal stereo effect, due to their being seated longitudinally rather than horizontally. I wonder why Samsung would make such an obvious blunder? Who watches movies in that position, anyway... except perhaps a Cyclops!
Do you know how to erase the memory? Like tab 10.1 there is a section of setting to clear cookies, cannot find in tab A did I miss anything ? Please help.
+EveryThingTech No just erase the cache memory under setting. For some reasons I don't feel the tab A has the same function as Samsung tab 10.1 which gives you options to clear everything (more like refresh the memory).
It should be under storage settings, if not download a cache cleaner from the playstore,also you can check out my video on how to make your android run faster which discusses this very topic :)
+EveryThingTech maybe in the multitasking but not that much faster but I'm sure when marshmallow comes out for the tab a 9.7 it should be a bit faster !

Mines started being slow but it works perfectly fine. I bought it 2016. Do you think you may have an idea of how to fix it?
Full review here, customize your experience in the description :) Missed anything comment below !
I bought this on sale at Best Buy in 2017 and rarely used it. This video was on point as I break it out and finally use it.

Thanks for the reply.
Is it OTG devices compatible? Also, why wouldn't Samsung put the speakers rather at the top

You went through all that and I can't find a video that even came close to starting it I need to watch the process of each screen when it starts up
Nice review..!
Is this tablet good for reading pdf and ebooks!
+Android Games Yes it is very good at those tasks because the 4:3 aspect ratio on the device shows more on the screen making it less distracting to have to continuously scroll :)
+Nick Ackerman ohh thanks...But Are the words too pixelated to read!Does it have strain on eyes after reading for an hour or so!
2022 and I still have mine should I upgrade???🤣🤣 It's pretty slow now lol
Is there a way to use the screen to adjust volume instead of the volume tabs???
great review bro.
Thank you very much for your feedback Bruce, appreciate it :)
Which one is better for running chess applications like Chessbase? Android or apple?
I am about to buy my first tablet.
+Phuck Coocle Apple has historically proven to be a better gaming machine from my experience. The only tablet if you really want android for gaming I would recommend at the same level of apple would be the Nvidia Shield

Do you know how to erase the memory? Like tab 10.1 there is a section of setting to clear cookies, cannot find in tab A did I miss anything ? Please help.
+Andrew So To erase memory do you mean factory reset?
+EveryThingTech No just erase the cache memory under setting. For some reasons I don't feel the tab A has the same function as Samsung tab 10.1 which gives you options to clear everything (more like refresh the memory).
It should be under storage settings, if not download a cache cleaner from the playstore,also you can check out my video on how to make your android run faster which discusses this very topic :)
