Galaxy SM-T580NZKAXAR Tab A 10.1"; 16 GB Wifi Tablet (Black)

Good reliable piece of portable electronics. Still works fine after 10 years. Must have been discontinued by now.

EDIT: It appears that the "won't play with the cover closed" problem is an issue with Youtube, and NOT with the tablet. The tablet is a great deal for the money. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Galaxy Tab A is an excellent tablet, albeit with a few caveats. I bought this to replace an iPad Air, and all in all it's a very good replacement tablet. The Good: The screen is very nice and bright, crisp and sharp. The physical home button is great (as opposed to a non-physical button that provides no tactile feedback). The sound quality is much better than I'd expected. No complaints there. Build quality and the "fit and finish" are all top-notch. The touch screen is responsive and nice to work with. The micro-SD card slot is a great way to bump up the storage capability. The Bad: No matter what you do, you CANNOT play a video with the cover closed or when you lock the screen. I've tried everything, and as far as I can tell it just can't be done. This is a huge disappointment, as it one one of the primary reasons I bought the tablet. I like to listen to Youtube videos as I'm doing other things, so I want to conserve the battery by blanking the screen or closing the cover...but no matter what I try it does not seem to be possible. Closing the cover and still playing a video used to be possible on the iPads, but updates to IOS from Apple have removed this capability completely (and closing the cover kills Skype calls as well, WTF?). Even the iPad Youtube app won't let you do it now. So, I figured it was time to move to an Android tablet, which SHOULD allow you to do this simple task, but even this brand-new Samsung can't/won't do it. Samsung customer service confirms that is no way to disable the "smart cover" function and that there is NO WAY to play a video with the cover closed, period. This is an Android problem and *not* something unique to Samsung tablets, but in the end, it's still a problem no matter who's responsible. (And before you ask, yes, I've tried viewing the desktop version of the site, tried enabling all of the various options recommended online, tried all sorts of tricky stuff trying to fool it into playing with the cover closed or in lock-screen mode. IT. WON'T DO. IT.) It's 2017- we can put a man on the Moon and put metal in a microwave, but we can't play a video with the cover closed? The table is also a bit heavy, but not so much that it would be a problem. I'm undecided as to whether to keep it or not- it's a nice tablet, no argument there, but it just doesn't do the ONE THING that I want to do. Very disappointing. I'll update this review if things change, but for such a nice tablet, this is a very disappointing problem.

Works great! The 10.1 inch screen is superb for watching videos or live TV. It has 2 speakers at the bottom (most smaller tablets have only 1 speaker). It has a screen as big as you can get without having to buy a laptop. I already own an older model 8" Samsung tablet since the year 2012. But when I recently subscribed to You Tube TV, I was told that the operating system in the old 8" was not compatible. So I had to temporarily download You Tube TV in my phone, and transfer the video to my TV through chromecast. But I didnt want to continue using my phone for You Tube TV. So I bought the 10 inch tablet on sale. I could have bought a new tablet with a smaller screen that was compatible with You Tube TV. However, what impressed me most about the tablet A 10 inch is that it has "TWO SPEAKERS" at the bottom, just like my old 8" tablet. Do you know what a difference this makes when listening to videos or music? I can set this on my kitchen counter, turn up the volume up only halfway, and watch TV while I cook. My best friend has a 9.7 inch Samsung E-tablet with a single speaker at the bottom. He has to turn the volume all way up to the maximum get the same sound level as I get with my volume set only half way. I'm surprised that people don't pay more attention to the speakers when they shop for a tablet. I carry my 10.1 tablet to the office and watch live TV (with headphones of course) while working at my desk. The screen resolution and colors are beautiful. The screen size is so large that you dont have to squint closely to look at it. For surfing the internet, the screen size is great as well. Also, the big screen is great when using Google Maps. Facebook lovers will love the big screen when looking at pictures and videos. Cons: This is just my opinion...For reading books that I download, I'll continue to use my old 8" Samsung tablet. I can hold it much better in my hands when I read. I find the tablet A 10.1 inch too big & bulky for book reading. Holding it in my hands for long periods is uncomfortable. Con#2: Opening Apps. On the 10 inch tablet, I found myself frustrated at first when tapping an app to open it. I finally figured out that you have to tap the app lightly with the middle of your finger and the app will open (on my old 8 inch, I can tap an app any-kind-of way,and it will open). The 10.1 inch seems to be a little more fussy about the way you tap an app. All 'n all, the Samsung 10.1 inch a very nice tablet. For me, the 10.1 inch will primarily serve as my video tablet for You Tube TV, Hulu, and Netflix. But for book reading, I'll continue to use my 8" because it is easier to hold with one hand.

Jeux, clavardage et vidéo éducatif sur you tube! La batterie n`à pas une durée de vie qu`indiqué!

Sencillamente una exquisitez usar esta tablet, me tome mi tiempo para poder dar mi opinión, la verdad ha sido mi mejor inversión por ahora, calidad precio, cabe mencionar que lo compre en una baja y para el precio de ese momento para lo que hasta ahora me da simplemente lo mejor, aun lo hubiera comprar al precio actual creo que vale la pena cada centavo.

Utilizo el dispositivo como E-reader y es mucho mejor que p.ej. un Kindle ya que permite bajar aplicaciones que dan acceso a las online bibliotecas y librerías e incluso se puede instalar el Kindle App. Excelente calidad a un precio accesible!

Great tablet Lots of screen real estate. Controls same as phone so no learning curve. Good battery life. Only down side is screen wathing movies. Can be a bit dark in some movies.

La tableta llego en perfecto estado y antes de lo previsto. Me gusto mucho su calidad de imagen y la velocidad con la que navego. Los juegos me corren bastante bien y sobre todo la bateria tarda en descargarse. tal vez unico punto malo que le doy es el peso, es algo incomodo al principio a la hora de jugar mantener el peso de la tableta pero te vas a costumbrando. Aconsejo comprar un buen protector para la pantalla ya que se marca muy rapido todo.
