Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (7-Inch, Dark Gray)

I love this tablet! It's nice and compact so it's small enough to keep in my purse. The Tab 3 operates wonderfully I have no problem watching videos or browsing the internet. There is a slot for a memory card if you need more storage. The camera is average not horrible but not the greatest either for the quality. My favorite thing about this tablet though is the kids mode it comes with if you have young children and are in the market for a tablet for your kid this is it. You can monitor their activity and put a usage limit on it. It allows 30 apps which is more than enough for my daughter and it comes with a few fun pre-installed apps. If you're thinking about buying one of those tablets made especially for little kids, don't, I've been there and done that it's a waste of money because it quickly becomes boring and all the apps and games cost extra and they're not cheap. I love using this tablet as well as my daughter so it's a win win

Let me start this out by saying I never thought I would own an Android tablet. Ever. I have been an Apple fan since 2005. Since then I have owned 2 iPods, 3 iPhones, 2 Macbook Pros, and 1 iPad. I'm extremely clumsy and constantly drop things. I accidentally dropped my first iPod down a flight of stairs and it still worked. I found Apple to be sturdy and reliable in their products... until now. My iPad, or as I like to call it "Sir Crash-a-lot," has been the tablet from hell. It worked great for a year but then it started dying. I've owned Sir Crash-a-lot for three years now. I have spent three years trying to save up for a newer iPad. But after saving for three years to replace Sir Crash-a-lot, I vowed to never buy an iPad again. Instead I went out and did something no Apple fanboy has ever done: I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab. What drove me to buy this tablet? Apple's unreliability. Sure, my iPad's apps ran slowly. Sure, the apps crashed a lot. But the final straw came when iTunes decided my Apple account should no longer be associated with my library, should be split into two parts (old email address & new email address), and should not be linked to my iPad. Oh, I should also mention iTunes deleted a ton of music I bought from my tablet because "You do not have permission to access the following file(s)." After almost 10 years of being an Apple fanboy, I went online and searched for Android tablets. Since I knew several people who loved their Samsung Galaxy phones, I went with the only tablet I could afford: a refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. Shortly after taking it out of the box, I realized how great this tablet is. Even though the size was quiet a downgrade (I'm near-sighted and like to use my tablet without my reading glasses) I have had no problems reading text on it. The screen has better color than my iPad or my husband's iPad Mini. The screen switches quicker and loads faster than any iOS device I've ever seen. I love all of the customization that comes standard on Android. Even with all of its great features that I have grown to love, this tablet isn't without its problems. Most of the problems that come with it that people talk about is either the slow processor or the speaker being on the back. Neither of those are a huge problem for me. My biggest problem is the standard memory. Out of the 8gb, over 2gb are taken up by the operating system and the bloatware apps that I'll never use (and can't remove). After installing all of the apps I use regularly, I only have 2gb of space left. That's not much space. Thankfully, it has expandable memory. After I get a good 64gb micro SD card (my old one was corrupted), I plan on moving some of the big apps onto the card and putting my music library on it. The longer I have this tablet, the more I wish I bought it instead of an iPad for my first tablet. For anyone who's looking at getting this tablet, you will need the following: 1. An impact-resistant silicone case to absorb the shock of any falls the tablet will experience. 2. A tempered glass screen protector to prevent the screen from breaking. 3. A 64gb micro SD card to store most of your music, photos, and apps.

I purchased this tablet for a niece. I was looking for an inexpensive tablet with basic features that would allow her to surf the internet, watch Netflix, and play app based games. The setup process for this tablet was frustrating, it took over an hour for me to connect to the home WIFI. The was no button for easy connection to WPS, once connected to the internet the Google Play store kept giving me an error message. I ended up resetting the tablet and starting over. Even though this is a 7 inch tablet it is not the same size as a Galaxy Tab 3 (That is not a Lite version) This is important when searching for a case. On the positive side, the picture quality of the Samsung Galaxy tab 3 lite is far better that other inexpensive tablets that I have viewed. Netflix or other streaming media plays without any delay. In addition to the Google Play store Samsung has there own downloadable apps. While there selection is very limited, I suspect it will grow over time. Like some of the other lower end tablets, I am able to search by voice through Google. The Camera is also capable of making videos and has an acceptable resolution. This tablet has a kid safe app included, so would be acceptable to use as a childs tablet. On black Friday, I was able to get an exceptional deal on this tablet through Amazon. I would recommend this tablet for a child, if you can get the product on sale, along with a sturdy case. The difference between this tablet and other inexpensive tablet seems to be the display and picture quality.

I purchased this as a gift for my husband, (someone who does not care about taking selfies, since it doesn't have a "selfie cam," this one is much more affordable than the one that does, and it still has the rear camera, if you do want to take other photos). He was extremely pleased by the quality and usability of the tablet. It will be used primarily for surfing the web and application use. The size is just perfect, and we got it in black, since I have the white already, we can tell the two apart. Samsung items have always been quality, long lasting devices, and I have had my tablet for six months, and it is still working like the day I got it. I have had my Samsung phone for around two years, and it still works great, with no plans of purchasing a new one, since this one is working so well! Definitely recommend this, and other Samsung electronics!

The Samsung beats apple hands down..where the older apple have limits to what can can be downloaded (3.0 or 5.0)Samsung does not. Older apple can not download apps 4.0 or higher and there is no option to upgrade older version of apple to be able to download apps 4.0 and higher. The only option is buying a newer apple product. The really get u there... The samsung product is lite....but does it all it seems....it does not have such issues as apple...I am pleased.. was not looking for much...no trouble with connecting with wifi internet...it was a breeze...downloading apps was a citch...it well worth the price spent for product...for adult as well as children....I love Samsung....would give a 6 star if we're an option

I purchased this tablet on Friday and returned it on Sunday. It has 8 GB of memory and the pre-loaded apps take up half of that. You cannot store apps on the sd card only pictures and music or other files. Great looking tab however I got the Kindle Fire HDX from QVC saturday night and it came with a quad 4 processor. I got 32 Gb of memory, a protective case, stylus and earbuds for 289.00 This is one of the best 7'' tablets in its class as of today. Samsung is a good company however the memory on the 7'' was not enough for numerous apps. All in all it is an individual choice of what you want the tablet for. happy shopping. Amazon stepped up its game with the new KINDLE FIRE HDX.

I loaded the Kindle app and the Samsung Galaxy tab lite is the perfect book size to take on a trip and read at night. It fit in my coat pocket or backpack pocket. Of course it has all the other tablet features so you can use the wifi settings at hotels, libraries, cafes etc to check email and facebook and keep up with the world. My phone does all the same things but the screen is too small - the tab is the perfect size. And airlines now offer wifi to use on the plane and SW airlines even offers movies if you bring your own device so the galaxy gets lots of use. And Amazon was $10 cheaper than Staples for the same device and the cases for it are $30 cheaper on Amazon.

bought this 'used, like new' and it came in a brand new box with plastic still on it and the cords. looked brand new like it came right off the shelf. I suspect it was bought then returned, making it used. I don't know, all I know is that I am happy with my purchase. its an older model so not all the newer apps are compatible with this (Microsoft word app), but the picture is still HD, it runs fast and has plenty of storage (I also reccomend buying an SD card to avoid cluttering the tablet with random music, pics, and documents). it took ages to get here (came thru FedEx, soooo unbelievably slow! I feel USPS would've been a better choice), but I was very satisfied with my purchase.

El empaque llego abierto, la caja de la tablet venia rota, el protector de pantalla venia en otro lugar y doblado, espero que la tablet no la hayan abierto y que funcione bien.
