Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (2021, 32GB, 3GB RAM) 8.7" (WiFi + Cellular) 5100mAh Battery, Android 11, 4G LTE Tablet GSM Unlocked, International Model - SM-T225 (Fast Car Charger Bundle, Gray)

I’ve purchased over 75 of these tablets, and overall, they’ve been great. They do exactly what they’re marketed for. I’ve used them with both T-Mobile and Verizon SIM cards without any issues. Sometimes the software needs to be updated, which can take a while depending on your Wi-Fi, but that’s manageable. The only thing I’m not a big fan of is the wall plugs and, occasionally, the cigarette lighter adapters — they’re just okay. Other than that, the tablets have been very reliable. I use them for my transportation company to communicate with drivers, and they’ve held up well. My drivers have been using them for about a year and a half with no issues, five days a week for at least 8 hours a day (sometimes more).The size is good — not too big, which helps reduce distractions for drivers. Battery life is solid, even with daily use. The tablets stay mounted in the vehicles, so they’re exposed to heat and sunlight, but they’ve still performed well. The cost is decent — not the cheapest, but affordable enough to save money where I can. Overall, I’m satisfied with the purchase.

Yes - but you need to go through this process which I learned from other reviewers. This particular SM-T225 model runs on Android 11 originally out of the box. The first time you open the phablet (because it is a genuine phone and tablet in one), ensure you don't insert your sim card or connect it to a wifi yet. Be patient and skip all setup processes and go straight to TURN OFF automatic update under developer options and click don't auto-update apps under network preferences in your Google Play Store account. Only after doing those two very important steps you can insert your active sim card and/or connect to wifi. Please be aware that with this particular model, once you forgot to turn off all of the apps/network updates, it will lose all of the phone and text and mobile data functions once it auto-updates to Android 12! I ignored the previous advice from other reviewers then I proved it myself that it turns into a wifi only tablet after updating to Android 12 so I had to return it and buy a new one. Again, yes, in my own experience, I never had to call my AT&T helpline (please don't call them or they will deactivate your sim card asap!), and I just transferred my active (and latest 2022) sim card. And there it is, my Galaxy Tab A7 Lite that runs on AT&T as my 8.7-inch phone, and tablet, with call, text, and mobile data functions under Android 11 - and kept it there for the past seven months and I never had to buy a super expensive Galaxy Folds out there. When the Android 12 pops up to remind me it's time for an update - I just ignore it and click later - always because I want to keep it as a phablet. For me, there's no need to update to Android 12 at all if I will lose its original smartphone functions. And this awesome fast-charging 8.7-inch screen phablet is way better to use than those under 7-inch Android phones if you want a bigger screen with smartphone capabilities at the same time. Yes, there is an earpiece but you can use the wired earphones to the superb 3.5 mm ear jack slot for privacy when making or taking calls. Hope this will help everyone out there - this phablet is highly recommended if you're tight on a budget!

I'm not a TV person and have limited space in a one-room apartment. This tablet gives me lots of opportunities for entertainment and photos, with out taking up much space.

Arrived in a timely fashion but has a few major hiccups. The charger for the tablet is an International or European travel style plug and will not plug into the outlets in our home. Why it has that type of plug is baffling and we are unable to charge the tablet. Why did the tablet not come with a wall outlet adapter? What can be done to correct this problem? We are hopeful a correct plug will be shipped our way. Thank you! Also it keeps saying we need a SIM card and one was not included and therefore we cannot set it up. Help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Good tablet

I use it mostly as a split screen, with gps on one side and radio app on the other. Its a little slow, but not a bad tablet.

It works fine and came as advertised. Delivery was sooner than expected.

Keep sticking, not worth the money sorry I bought this thing It does not work out the time happened to always shut it down to restart it to get it to get from being frozen. I’m really feel bad. I have bought this. The sad thing is I have bought this exact one a few years ago gonna say maybe less than two years but more than one for my daughter hers works great but this one I got this year just terrible.

La uso para leer ebooks lo cual me parece mejor dispositivo que los readers tradicionales. Con el chip 4g puedo acceder a mis asuntos de trabajo sin sacar el teléfono, incluso navega bien los mapas de carretera. La pantalla es buena, pero considera que es un dispositivo de gama media así que verás cierto lag casi imperceptible. Puedo vivir con eso.

Ótimo produto, e chegou rápido, parabéns
