Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 - EVERYTHING You Need to Know!!

Thanks for your review. Just bought one in 64 GB. It's my first Samsung tablet. I don't do any gaming, just shopping,banking, and KZbin. Should be a good table for me.

I went for 64GB. 32 is piddly, half of it is the operating system itself. My mum filled the rest with her cat pictures on her Ipad from many years ago, and knowing Apple, you can't upgrade it. Spend the extra and get the 64 for the convenience alone.

Does it comes with a pencil and a app where you can download budget sheets

[@kitteav]

It feels like there isn't a space in the world right now for an Android tablet that is not "budget" but still has a slightly smaller size. Don't get me wrong. I love my tab s6 lite, it's the perfect size, but I'm having trouble with some pixels, and I wonder if I would have the same issues with one of the higher end tablets. But I adore the size of the one I have. Spiritually this tablet feels like the successor, but the budget label makes me wary.

[@deleqtronica8733]

The A8 sucks, it’s not an improvement over the A7 which also sucked. I ended up keeping the S6 lite after trying all 3.

[@saidaoshin9317]

I also use S6 lite and I really love my tablet. Everything was better but after 6-8 months of purchasing, I can see the screen irritation of my tablet. If I use any app for a long time and then come to use another one, the previous apps display can be seen. For example if I'm using zoom for about 10 mins and go to chrome, I can see the slight shadow of the zoom app in chrome in the side but not in the middle. This thing was making me mad as the price was a bit high for me to buy. But then I switched everything in the tab to dark theme and then it decreased a bit but didn't go away fully. But other things are very good for me such as watching KZbin videos and binge watching dramas, attending online classes, taking notes etc. This tab is good for drawing and doing light professional works. I'll recommend this if you're okay with the screen irritation thing.

[@jeffn1524]

Was just wondering if multiusers is supported on this tablet?

[@kiel7765]

[@cheryllee7370]

I have a question why would I want to transfer my apps to my SD card im new to the tablet world

[@nannem9716]

Cheryl Lee, any apps and games you use require storage space and RAM, as does your device itself to function. Each device sold comes with a specific amount of internal storage space and RAM installed. In the case of these A8 Tablets, they are available with either 32gb, 64gb, or 128gb of internal storage and either 3gb or 4gb of RAM, and that's what you're stuck with for the life of the tablet. You can't increase it later. As your storage fills up over time, the tablet can slow down or become unusable. Also, when you receive the device, of those specified storage amounts, a good chunk is already used by the operating system and any apps the manufacturer pre-installed. Most apps pre-installed by Samsung (bloatware) cannot be uninstalled. Even if you do not want them and will never use them, you're stuck with them, and they continue to take up valuable storage space. Because of the operating system and bloatware already on the tablet when you get it, though you may be buying a tablet with 32gb or 64gb or 128gb of internal storage, you'll never actually be getting that amount available, since a good 10 to 12gb at least is already in use. As you add your own apps, games, and files in normally using the tablet, you keep using more of your available storage space. As you run out of storage space, the tablet will slow or cease to function. In tablets that can take an SD card, some allow apps & games to be moved to the SD card in order to free up the internal storage space that the app was using. Once you move it to the SD card, the internal storage space it had previously used becomes available again. You want to always maintain available storage space so that the tablet continues to function. The closer you come to using 100% of the storage, the more your tablet will cease to operate properly. It will become unusable. HOWEVER, just because a tablet allows you to move apps from internal storage to SD card, doesn't mean that an app can actually be moved!!! Some apps are written to stay in internal storage only, and cannot be moved to the SD card. If you can move an app, then great, but what you need to do instead of counting on that method is to simply buy a tablet with ample internal storage to begin with. Personally, because of all the bloatware Samsung stuffs on their devices, if you want to be able to freely add your own games and apps and still have the tablet function, I wouldn't buy less than the 128gb version. Definitely do not buy the 32gb version. At the very least go with the 64gb. Also, the 128gb version of this tablet gives you 4gb of RAM, as opposed to 3gb of RAM which is marginal. The general rule is, the more RAM the better for the same reasoning as above. Hope that helps.

[@cheryllee7370]

@@nannem9716 thank you so much that's very helpful

[@obconoby7395]

@@nannem9716 Kudos to you for typing that lengthy in-depth and clear explanation. I'm sure that is a helpful clarification for many people.

[@tofu_golem]

Alright. I had a Galaxy Tab S2 I was using as an auxiliary tablet. It finally got too old. I did a factory reset, and half the apps that I mostly used on it couldn't be installed because the OS is just too old. So, I broke down and got the Tab A8. Yes, I know it's technically a downgrade from the A7, but because it is newer, it will get more firmware updates, and having an older version of Android is what made my last secondary tablet unusable. I already avoided any app that would challenge a weak processor on my secondary tablet. The dim and muted colors of the screen are not an issue for what I'm doing with it. It's very convenient for 6 use in bed when I'm watching KZbin videos or doom-scrolling social media because it's lighter than my Tab S7 Plus, and thus easier to hold over my head for a long time.

[@nannem9716]

I also am switching from the Galaxy Tab S2. Because Samsung preloads so much junk on their tablets that you can't uninstall, with updates my tablet got to the point where it became unusable. I constantly get the message "running out of storage space. Some functions may not work", and believe me, they don't. This is so frustrating because if I could just uninstall the needless bloatware that Samsung stuffed onto the tablet, I'd still be able to use the apps I actually want on it. Anyway, though I didn't want Samsung again for that very reason, I did want a tablet of the same size as my old S2. It's helpful to know that this has worked for you as an S2 replacement. Thanks for sharing.

[@Eddy_E.]

Don’t get be fooled from the transfer, you can only transfer the basic dates of the, but cause most apps seem to load more datas when you start the app, these datas can’t be transferred to the sd at all… So for small apps I think it’s a thing but for nearly every game it wouldn’t help in any ways… I think thats an very important point for this feature…

[@marks0048]

I just brought 2 of these tabs for my kids along with 512GB sd cards thinking they could download as many games and apps that they want but im now realising they can download files to the sd card wich is pretty useless as they just like to have lots of games wish I got the tabs with 128GB internal storage now as that probably would of still been enough but now they're stuck with 32GB internal and wasted 512GB external. Gutted

[@nannem9716]

Yup, just because a tablet allows you to transfer apps to an SD card, doesn't mean all apps are actually transferrable.. Many apps are written to remain only on the tablet's internal storage, meaning that, even with an SD card, you can never transfer them off of internal storage to free up valuable space. Therefore, buy a tablet with enough internal storage right out of the gate, so that this does not become an issue. Also remember that when you buy a tablet, a chunk of its internal storage is already used by the system itself as well as any bloatware the maker installs. Samsung is a big offender when it comes to bloatware that you don't want and cannot remove. Their devices are full of their own proprietary apps, when most users would prefer to use similar apps from Google. Therefore, a 32gb tablet is useless over time for most users. Get a 64gb tablet at the very least to avoid running out of internal storage. With Samsung, I personally would buy only the 128gb version, because of all the junk they permanently pre-install.

That depends entirely on whether you think you need the pen. I prefer using a Bluetooth keyboard over a pen for taking notes in class. I'm honestly not sure which is better for video conferencing. Sorry.

[@theverny9900]

Does the 32 gig memory use 10 gig for the Operating System leaving just 22 gig of memory?

[@huriazz2267]

Yes

[@nannem9716]

Yup, at least. And, with all of Samsung's added bloatware that can't be uninstalled, a 32gb tablet is useless, unless you only want to read email and surf the web. If you want to use any other apps and games, don't buy the 32gb. It becomes a brick.

[@Wongmc644]

Xfer apps from internal storage to SD card is not "really true"! Only some apps can be transferred?

[@nannem9716]

Exactly!!!! Very misleading to those who aren't tech savvy. Just because the OS allows transfer of apps to an SD card, does not mean that all apps are transferrable. Many apps are written to remain only on internal storage and cannot be transferred. Therefore, it's important to buy a device with sufficient internal storage to begin with, or after adding your own games & apps it will become unusable over time. If you're planning on adding apps and games, you need at least 64gb of internal storage. Personally, I would go for 128gb to be safe.
