Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2017) Review: A tab meant for only multimedia consumption
Source: The Mobile Indian Archive.org version
To conclude, the tablet does looks like an interesting proposition as it does offer some good battery backup and display. However, the performance of the device is quite average and so is the camera. So, if you are looking for a tablet only for multimedia need, only then you can consider this tablet as an option.

60% Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2017) review: Lots to go, but has some misses
Source: Gadgets Now Archive.org version
Overall, we think that at a price of Rs 17,990, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a good buy. It has a sturdy built and design, a vibrant display and is a performer. The downsides are the gaming experience , and the average cameras. But if you can live with these, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a good buy for you. However, we also think that there will be those who would rather spend the same money on a big-screen smartphone than opt for a tablet.
