Samsung - Galaxy Tab S5e - 10.5" - 64GB - Black

I purchased the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (8gb) a few years ago based on reviews. Honestly, it was a bit of a let down, mainly because it was slow and had little storage(even with 16gb sd card). The screen was OK, but nothing great. I decided to use some Xmas money and B-day coupon to purchase the S5e. Huge upgrade from the Tab A. Much faster, 64gb storage, and a very nice (and bigger) screen. It's also thin and has relatively small bezels, so screen looks even bigger. Battery life, so far, has been excellent. The only time I use it for extended time is streaming Netflix, Amazon video or Xfinity. I'd say it'll use ~ 10% battery per hour (I never really paid attention to that though). In standby mode, it uses very little battery. I got a free Samsung case, which as others have said, offers very little side protection, but it does protect the screen and back, and it's a nice stand. I wouldn't pay the ~ $70 for the case, but can't pas up free.

I was looking for a tablet that actually was fast with high definition screen. This Samsung s5e was the exact option I wanted. I paid a little extra for all the performance and that was fine once I used the tablet. This tablet is very thin so I did buy a case. The four speakers near each corner makes the sound excellent and Dolby Atmos is like another performance that adds bass and greater audio. The battery is long lasting enough for me to use all day. Screen looks great outside. Finger print scanner is power button as well and is quick to open home screen. I would buy this tablet again.

This is the best tablet I’ve ever bought. It is super thin and the screen display is gorgeous. Very responsive and fast. Runs everything quickly with no lag. Definitely worth the price.

I bought it for my son who has cerebral palsy. He loves to google duo his grandma and brothers. The picture is so big and clear. It has brought a smile out of him that we haven't seen in awhile

The most vibrant screen I’ve seen in a long time. The fact that you can turn a smart tv into a desktop with this tablet! I bought this tablet specifically for XCloud gaming from Microsoft’s ultimate game pass, bundled with POWER-A XCloud gaming controller im able to play match making halo games within 5 minutes? How awesome is that? Runs Android games super sharp as well. Very satisfied with this purchase and the battery lasts forever. I also use this tablet as my stream channel screen for twitch and it never disappoints.

Perfect size! Not to big, not to small. Love the resolution, speed, camera and 4 speakers for listening to media. It did come with an adapter for headphones. Holds charge a long time. I didn't take it out of the box for a week because I was waiting for a case that I ordered. (Unicorn Beetle). I tend to drop things! Lol

Although I was mainly using my 5-year old Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 for watching videos, running some apps when I needed to was becoming painfully slow. I was ready for something a bit faster, a little bigger and with more built-in storage. This new Galaxy Tab S5e (64GB) is exactly what I was looking for! The size is great! For a 10.5" screen, having a thin bezel all around and no physical front home buttons, it is not a whole lot bigger than my old 8" tablet. It quite a bit smaller than the (2016) Galaxy Tab A 10.1" tablets that my kids have. And SO THIN!! It's thinner than the 8" and weighs about the same, if not a little bit lighter! (check out the pictures comparing the sizes) This display is great, with the Super AMOLED screen and a resolution of 2560x1600. So far, the new OneUI that comes with the Android 9 (Pie) is quite a bit of an improvement over their previous UI (which is why I've never really liked Samsung phones, even though we love then many other Samsung items we own - from TVs to Appliances). Also, I like the "double-tap" to turn on the screen (similar to my LG phone, which I always seem to try on all screens), just wish it could turn the screen off the same way. My only nit-pick is that when scrolling to the next Home screen or application page, the "slide" when you barely swipe could be a little quicker, especially in Landscape (you can swipe fast to make it go faster, but it's not what I prefer to be required to do). Also, one thing I wish that would work with it is an S-Pen (the kids' Tab A tablets have them). The thin on/off button is on the side and is also the fingerprint scanner. It is recessed a little bit to keep from hitting it accidentally. The scanner seems to be fairly responsive, even with its smaller size, so no issues so far. You can also set up facial recognition, but I won't be using it. Battery life has been extremely good so far. When on Standby, it may use about 5-10% a day. After a week of usage, with maybe 7 hours of video and 5 hours of streaming radio, I finally decided to charge it again, and it was only down to 25% left. The cameras are OK, but I won't really be using it for pictures. It has a 13MP rear camera and a 8MP front camera. The rear camera does have some of the different modes you see on most phone cameras, such as Panorama, Hyperlapse and Live focus, along with the Pro mode to manually changes some of the exposure settings. Luckily, I mainly use bluetooth headphones when listening to music/videos as there is no longer a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. But a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter is provided. All in all, this is a great Android tablet with a nice, lighter-weight design!

The tablet is fast with great sound. I love the high resolution 10 inch screen. It is much easier to use on a commute than a full laptop. I have been able to install all my Samsung, Android, and even Amazon Apps (by downloading the Amazon .apk) on my new tablet. The Samsung switch app even transferred apps and content from my old Apple ID. I love being able to easily bring everything with me anywhere in the house or my backyard.
