Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 32GB Wi-Fi, Dark Grey (Spanish Version)

Replacement tablet for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. Graphics are limited colourwise and way less pixels than the Tab S2. However, this is minor compared to Samsung's built in redundancy. The operating system stuck at Android 7 meant that many of the basic apps no longer worked. Unless you are overly worried about the graphics the machine is a good replacement and runs comfortably on Android 11 (at the moment). Really good battery life and easy to use user interface (Samsung positive point). Samsung proprietary operating system is a limit and will see the tablet supported for about 3 years. The price point is really good for a tablet of this quality. Apart from the graphics, I can only be positive about this machine, and even the graphics are not that bad!

It was bought to replace an iPad that my mother just couldn't get along with. She was coming from an older 2017 'Galaxy Tab A'. I sold it for her and got this 'Galaxy Tab A7 Lite'. It's been a very good replacement for the old 'Tab A', although I don't know what the 'A7' or 'Lite' patter is all about, at all; especially when it has an 8" screen (god, Samsung, could you just simplify your device naming policy, out, please). The cell phone, calling, functionality has been a boon for her, too: less devices to juggle around with and only one operating system for her to learn for phoning, shopping, browsing, email, etc. I'm really amazed at how cheap these things are. Plenty of internal memory, too, so it shouldn't go obsolete all that soon, as apps get bigger and more complex with all the updates, over time (that's what killed the 'Tab A'; it ran out of space). I preferred the older, recent, versions of Android, though. It used to be simpler and more user friendly. We still find it preferable to using iOS, overall, though.

I'm going to get into trouble here as I own Apple, Amazon and Android tablets/phones/readers, so, comparisons are inevitable I'm afraid. Bottom line: what do you want? Glorious, fast, iOS? Then pay lots of money. But that choice is hard to use in sunlight. A text (ebook) reader? Then Kindle is the winner. Good outdoors and simple. Yes, but e-books do not stop at Amazon and the device is pre-historic in features. A cheap, Android device? No, Amazon with its emasculated "Fire" tablet does not qualify! Ah! How about Huawei? Yeah, but it's basic and slow unless you spend Apple prices. Then it's on to another, better, Android - maybe Samsung? Or, is this another expensive sub-optimum option? So, what about the "cheap" Samsung Tab A7 Lite? Well, iOS it is not (weird Android graphics!), but the screen is not bad and the speed eats Huawei alive. It works as a reader, on any e-book format and it feels OK. Outdoors in sun? Still a no-no, but Kindle is a fallback. For a few ££ more, it's a lot better than Hauwei! I could get to like this tablet. But Android - please can we have grown up graphics and colours? Subsequent Edit: I'm not sure what the complaints elsewhere about the display screen are about. A photo is certainly brighter and colour less precise than my iPad Pro or iPhone X, but considering the price differences it is not bad! The face recognition, on the other hand, is dire! If I pick up my iphone it has recognised me as I raise it, ditto iPad. Samsung does not even allow me to wear my glasses and only works sporadically even without glasses. However, I originally gave 3 stars - considering how good value it is, I now think at £145 it really is worth 4.

Bought this to use in my car, as a radio and GPS and get message etc, to replace my useless (from new) Renault head unit the Tab links perfectly with the HU and works better than I expected, no loss of quality with the sound system and the sim has better reception than the HU, looks great in the car as well. This is a great idea I had after spending years trying to fix the Renault HU and trying other options can't believe I got there in the end. Cost £117.00 excellent value. FYI I have a 15gb sim for £7 pm I won't need anywhere this size and will change the plan.

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite 8.7 inch LTE tablet (Wifi) to replace an ~9 year old Barnes and Noble Nook HD+ which is a 9-inch tablet with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080, and weighs about 515g. Compared to the Nook which I was very pleased with and is still working well, the Samsung is so much faster and easier to hold with one hand. I am using it primarily as a book reader to replace the Nook. In addition, it is used for web browsing for reading news, as well as helping to solve puzzles and crosswords. As a long time Linux user, I have a preference for non-proprietary/open source software, and therefore did not consider any offerings by Apple etc. I have installed Firefox and Chromium, and Aldiko (personal favourite for book reading). I downloaded the apps as APKs as I do not have a Google account and have no wish to have one, and I do not use social media. Alongside these apps, the only other one that I have installed is for my VPN, which I have set up to start automatically and run continuously. For its price and performance, I believe it is very good value and does everything I want. It boots from cold to my home screen with my VPN auto-starting in about 50 seconds. From standby/screen off, it takes about 5 seconds including entering the passcode. Compared to a dedicated book reader, I feel that one of these is so much better value. I can use my preferred book reader app, as well as use it for other purposes. For me, the screen is perfectly good enough, it is clear and easy to read, nothing blurry about it. It is snappy, no pauses or hesitation switching between or while using apps, or any of the problems that some people seem to be reporting. Yes, one can always find a ‘superior’ tablet for just those ‘few extra pounds’, eg An Apple, other Samsungs etc, but where do you stop?. For £119, I believe this is very good value for what is does and I very pleased with it and have no regrets at all. I have measured the screen/tablet dimensions that people may find useful (attached image).

This is a first rate piece of kit. Great connectivity, In fact all of the tech specs are great all round. It has updated itself to Android 13. Nice convenient size for sitting next to my pillow. (This has been purchased for just one purpose) Audible !! No doubt I will find other uses for it too. Like a second Phone or Browser. And never forgetting - "It's A Samsung" Being slim, smooth, and quite large to hold securely in one hand, I would suggest a protective case with a palm strap. Even with the protective case it still fits the space by my pillow. I bought the SEYMAC case, because now and again, it is bound to slip between the bed and the wall.

Amazing tablet, I have diteched my phone and laptop and now only use this with the "SEYMAC" case with the strap for it found on Amazon too which makes it the perfect combo, I bring the thing absolutely everywhere and for those wanting to stay away from WiFi the fact that this takes a SIM means you never need WiFi and you always have internet with you. My husband did the same and he loves it as much as I do, only down is that the photos are not as good as with a phone but for a tablet it is not bad either. All round highly recommend I am always baffled when I see how unpopular those SIM tablets are, it makes no sense whatsoever.

This is a very decent tablet at a reasonable price. I've had it for a year now and I'm happy with it. I use it for streaming apps, music learning apps and occasionally some mobile games. It's pretty lightweight and slim which I like as it makes it very portable, easy to carry around in my satchel or laptop bags. I like the general design as it's very modern and has good aesthetics. The screen is bright and colourful, it has a good resolution and dpi for this size of screen and for the current price point. It provides a good level of clarity and quality when watching movies and playing games. The touch screen works really well and feels quite responsive. Samsung are well known for making great screens and this is one of them. Next to performance. Battery level is pretty good overall, but does drop quite quickly when running more visually intensive apps. It's generally sufficient for a few hours at a time so it's good enough in my book. It does take a while to charge to full but it's pretty comparable to other devices of this price range. General performance is overall very good. I am able to get a mostly steady frame frame when playing mobile games and streaming is consistently stable. I do occasionally have lag when using up too much memory, and it can take a while to power up from off, but this is rare and I get a largely solid performance from the cpu and memory in this tablet. Overall, this is a very good tablet. Samsung are one of my favourite tech companies as I've always had consistently good products from them, and this is no exception. If you're looking for a slim, portable tablet with solid performance and a great display, then I recommend this A7 lite.
