What You Need to Know While Purchasing Samsung Galaxy Tab A Tablets

If you're looking for a lightweight, portable screen to work or play on the go, a new Samsung Galaxy tablet could be a great fit for you. Built as midrange models, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablets are affordable and functional.

When you buy a Samsung Galaxy new or used, you'll want to consider which screen size will suit your lifestyle. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 has an 8-inch screen for a more compact experience. If something larger works better for you, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 has a screen that is 10.1 inches across, measured diagonally. Both tablets are built with minimal bezel to optimize screen size. They are both lightweight: The 8-inch tablet weighs 345 grams, and the 10.1-inch tablet comes in at 1.03 pounds. See the manufacturer's site for details.

New or preowned Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablets come with a variety of storage capacities. Some models may come with 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB. The 10.1-inch may have 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB. Both models can accommodate a microSD card, which allows you to expand the storage capacity up to 512GB. As storage capacity can vary between models, so see the manufacturer's site for details. Models with fewer gigabytes of storage will cost less than models with more gigabytes. If you want to use your new Samsung Galaxy tablet to store a lot of songs or movies, you'll want to opt for more storage. If you're unsure, you can still purchase a microSD card if you run out of room on your tablet.

If you want to purchase a more affordable Samsung Galaxy tablet, choosing used or preowned may be a good option. Before you buy, check the listing for the tablet's condition. You may not mind scratches to the surface of the tablet since a case can easily cover those up. However, damages to the screen may be more problematic. You will also want to check the listing to see if the preowned Samsung Galaxy tablet is locked to a certain carrier. Some tablets have cellular capabilities, and you'll want one that is either unlocked or compatible with your preferred carrier. Lastly, search the listing for which other items are included with your purchase. Make sure the charger comes with it. If you're looking for a case or screen protector, some listings include these as well.
