Samsung Galaxy Tab Deals & Offers

The infamous missing 16GB, that's an essential bit of 'detail' the OP failed to add to their Deal Description somewhere ... Add it somewhere OP. :-)

This looks good, but am I missing something- the link comes up at £155?

Id buy a used/refurb A10-70f much better screen & can often be had for around £60-80 refurbished. Failing that I'd save up for the 4 plus instead.

Had to have a bit of a hunt around to find the memory size and it's 16gb, but wanted a 32gb for the kids (adding apps to the SD card does not always seem to work). Will prob go for thr 10INCH Acer in Argos (32gb £149 or 16gb one is £99). The Acer also has a screen slighty better than HD (1200).

It does run on Android but it's heavily skinned/themed around the Amazon experience so has the Amazon App Store as default instead of the Google Play Store and expects you to use the likes of Prime Video & Music for your media consumption needs.

Fair play, this got as cold as minus 400 but it's been positivity voted on now

This was way back in December/beginning of January. Kicking myself for not getting it now. But wasn't too good of a glass back and front and no pen slot. Ended up with the tab s2 cellular for £260

No, Filey ;)

Nexus 9 or Tab S, but both had their issues.

Google is your friend

The 32GB model has been launched in 2018 the 2016 model you are taking about is 16gb.

Saw this for £149 in Sainsbury's earlier today.

Awful tablet for the money. Shouldn't even be half that price considering it's only got 2gb of ram. Cold.

I mean Apple do fairly cheap iPads now at only around £100 more than this. You'd get a much better experience than buying this but if you HAVE to save that £100 then I guess this isn't too bad.

Yes, agree it's a 2 year old model, but even an iPad of that age is substantially more. We have 3 iPads in our house and the S2 is much nicer. Oh well, as I said, if I can help one person, I'm a happy man.😁

It's probably because this is technically a used model, not a new one. The other factor is age. You're talking £229 for a 2 to 4 year old tablet (I believe they silently updated the hd/ware in '16) which is still somewhat steep and will likely stop receiving updates. In fact I don't even think it got Oreo. Yes, Custom ROMs are a thing but to the average joe, they won't want to flash with no technical knowledge. I loved my Tab 3 8.0 until I dropped it down the stairs. You can buy Apple's cheapest iPad and it'd still be newer and much better.

It's the updated variant, although the spec says exynos 1.8, when it is actually a Snapdragon. Mine came with 7.0 installed.

I ordered the 8.0 version and collected this evening My model is the T713 - a quick google tells me this is the VE version which was updated in 2016, sure if I’m reading that incorrectly I’ll be told, and it came with Android 7.0 already on board

If any anyone has bought it can they please confirm its the ve version?

Just ordered the 8.0 After a small android tablet with a great screen and this fits the bill perfectly from what I’ve read

I’m not mate, I assure you - have you not read my other comments? I am not a typical Apple fanboy, I have never chosen/ran an iPhone for starters - I’ve generally opted for the flagship HTC each year, but just recently switched to a P20 Pro (it’s brilliant btw). Disliking iPhones as much as I do, I started off tablet life determined to stick with Android, but after trying around 8 different ones and not being satisfied with them for various reasons, I tried an iPad and have never looked back. I buy the best equipment that I can, with only partial regard for brand, and I’m absolutely of the opinion that iPads are the best tablets.

Have a read of this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/77bnes/samsung_and_the_punchy_oversaturated_display_myth/ Post echoes what I said previously about having options to change the display settings to something cooler, less-punchy if you desire, I have the adaptive display on and it looks great to me but that's a personal thing. Samsung have their faults as does any other company, but you can't honestly fault them on screen quality, and like I said they seem to be good enough for Apple to use in their top-end phone so what does that say? I don't see why iPad/iPhone owners can't accept that there might be a device out there which does something better than the one they own, even Apple know this as otherwise they wouldn't change stuff from one generation to another. Wireless charging being another thing I heard Apple owning people saying they didn't want... until Apple did it years later and then suddenly it's the best thing ever. Don't be a blind sheep mate, Apple doesn't care about you, all they want is your money, same as every other firm out there, competition between them is better for us as consumers.

Then add more info to your post

Yes I think you get it back in July

If I understand this Very service correctly, you have to buy it through their credit system and only get refunded within that system?

well I didn't think this would be a stonking hot deal but I didn't expect it to be cold either...

I second that, great tab and good price

Agreed there's very limited tablet options nowadays unlike smartphones. What concerns me with this particular tablet is that a friend of mine had it since launch after being envious of my Nexus 7 , within 18 months the battery literally died, exclusively using the Samsung supplied charger, PC World Currys done squat as did Samsung as their warranty for battery is 12 months. My Nexus 7 2nd gen 5 years on still chugging along albeit more slowly and that was £240 RRP!

Old, but still very powerful. Plus there is very little competition these days = lack of innovation.

The Samsung Tab A is decent but has a 16:10 screen ratio. Better for films, not so great for magazines etc.

Ridiculously expensive for such an old 8" tablet however nowadays due to tablet sales skydiving there's not many options. If you can handle iOS the new iPad 9.7" is waaay better value for a little more money.

I'm thinkin to buy a Samsung tablet as they're the only ones apart from iPad to be fast and durable in the long term, is there a model worth 200ish to go for used on the bay auction?

Expired... It's back up to £429 now...

Not sure why cold .... what's about for similar money right now ?

A bit pricey I brought mine for this price from John Lewis 19 months ago should really be cheaper but Samsung are smart if you want to upgrade to the S3 one heafty price, I can't moan about the unit the screen is crisp no lag problems plenty space

Android 7 on mine. Bonkers price considering how long its been out, but nothing except the tab s3 i'd swap it for-and that is way over priced.

It didn't when I had it (quite a while after 7 was released) so must have updated after I got rid of it Still got the Tab A 10" which has 7, so makes sense.

Sent it back. Its actually smaller than my iPad The tiny amount taller it is, is MORE than lost in how significantly it loses out in WIDTH - watching Game of Thrones on this was like watching it through a LETTERBOX. The brightness was terrible. The shows I watched was darker than they were on the iPad and couldn't be improved. It crashed 3 or 4 times and I havent a clue why Difficult to find any way to make the SD card the default download for all. I gave up, and am sending it back

(highfive)

Thanks for posting @jashvant.valand

I did. But bought the white one White One I have an iPad Air 2 64gb which is great but the specs on this are much better. Was going to buy a 128gb iPad 2017 model at Fenwicks yesterday, but this is less than half that price, and I have a 128gb Samsung card to go in it, so delighted.

Does the 2018 version allow mounting the external SD card as "adoptable storage"?
