That was a great review. I was thinking of getting one of these for my brother for his birthday, and this has confirmed my decision. He's used to having smaller tablets, since he currently uses a 7 inch LG, but this can run all the current games, so it will be much better for him. Thank you for making this review!!

I have it andi like it. Mine in the Tmobile version. I have it to my brother and her likes it a lot as well. Great little tablet and I love the 8.4 inch screen. I loved and still use my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from 2014. I love Samsung 8.4 inch tablets although the Tab Pro 8.4 was kind of disappointing but the other 2 that I mentioned are both pretty great. The only thing I don't like about this tablet is the screen resolution but even then that's still very usable. The 2014 Tab S 8.4 and Tab Pro 8.4 both had 359ppi screens that looked excellent. Still other than the resolution on this 2020 tablet is still pretty good. Nice tablet and very nice for the price. It's pretty fast and nice to use. I like it and I gave it to my brother and her likes it a lot.

Tab a 8.4 is so thin! I never held such a light tablet. Running android 11. The dislike I have with it is sound. It's plenty loud its just doesn't seem balanced. I have a tab s4 and s10e both have great sound and doesn't feel like its coming from just one direction. So if only the tab a 8.4 didn't have only bottom firing speakers. The other complaint i have is when there is no sim card in the slot. There is always a notification reminder that keeps popping every hour or so. That is annoying. The chipset not the greatest but it is satisfactory. Only get it if there are sales on the unit. It's still worth a buy for light use.
