The Galaxy Tab A 10.5 ROCKS!!

on January 30, 2017

Posted by: Amann

Verified Purchase:Yes

I've been in Information Technology for over 35 years, so did quite a bit of research before purchasing this. Also demo'd in-store before the purchase. My conclusion up front is that this product ROCKS!!

I have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone which has the same Android OS version as this Tab ("Marshmallow"), so that makes them similar in function and able to "play well" together. One thing I love about the Androids vs. "iThings" is that they function much like a Windows PC and don't require special software (e.g., iTunes) in order to transfer files, etc.

This Tab accepts a micro-SD card up to 256Gb, which gives it nearly the storage capability of a laptop computer! Not only can you store office-type documents, music, audio recordings, pictures, etc. ... but you can configure most of the apps to automatically store their data on the SD card also. This more than offsets the LIMITED 16Gb internal memory.

ONE IMPORTANT CAUTION HOWEVER: I initially purchased a SanDisk Micro SC card (one of their top models -- an "Ultra PLUS"). After much trial and consternation, I found that it was NOT COMPATIBLE with this particular Galaxy model. Although I use SanDisk cards almost exclusively in my pro cameras and other applications (they're tops on the market), I was disappointed to find that this particular card didn't work in the Tab A. SO ... I returned the SanDisk card and installed a Samsung EVO micro SD card and it worked perfectly! MORAL: purchase Samsung add-on card for this device and you'll live happily ever after!

After getting through the aforementioned challenge, I am totally in love with my Galaxy Tab and would HIGHLY recommend it to others!

ONE ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL NOTE: Besides other obvious uses, I utilize this Tab a lot for playing music. I'm a picky audiophile and wanted to get out of it all that it would produce. Again, after much research, I ended up with PowerAmp Pro music player app coupled with the Sennheiser PX 100-II portable headphones. WOW! This baby has an awesome sound processor, and coupled with the aforementioned app & phones, rivals the sound of my 1000w home audiophile system coupled with headphones costing 10 times as much. Just sayin ...

My Best Buy number: 4270124954

I would recommend this to a friend!
