Title: Love it! Get’s the job done
Review: Great product, I bought it for reading, and it get’s the job done. The only problem i had is they keyboard, my hands are small and I’m still not used to it, i keep making typos. I had no issues with the speed, sounds good for videos. It really depends what you want to use it for, I don’t recommend for games. I also think it lowers the quality if you want to upload a video to tiktok.

Title: Nice little tablet
Review: I had an earlier Galaxy which is why I ordered this one. There were a few issues, like I intial country of origin would not bring up United States. Maybe it’s just because I am old but it was not as easy to set up as .y old one.

Title: International region locked
Review: International versions usually don’t matter in hardware, but software can be locked out. I was buying this for my company, but it’s a South American version. So it’s basically region locked to South American. I’ll just eat the cost without submitting to my company.

Title: International Version X110 Bundle (256gb SD Card) Works Great in US for Me
Review: I was cautious when purchasing this based on other reviews. Until I read all reviews These are the Pros and Cons I have found.PROS: I purchased the Samsung A7Lite for my DJI drone works great but only 32BG Storage. I wanted a 64bg version but not available in US Version. I read reviews and came up with this setup option. I Chose English language with South Africa for region. Since I have a Samsung Phone I used the Smart Switch app to transfer settings, and apps. (PRO and CON) First I selected transfer all: This was a mistake because I filled the memory quickly with images, music, documents ect. I deleted all images and most documents. Music and docs I moved to the Bundled 256gb SD card. This created a mirror image of my Samsung Ultra 24 phone (PRO & CON) But very familiar. After setup I deleted unwanted apps and cleaned trash and found an acceptable balance of favorite apps and free storage space. Overall works very well, does not seem to bog down like old Lenovo 8″ 16gb that this is replacing.CONS: You have to watch the file transfer for battery life and time always longer than first estimate. But Used wifi and chargers and went to bed to allow tablet to transfer from phone.Storage fills up pretty fast with apps and system functions. No warranty was a slight concern but seller has a decent DOA and free return policy. As long as it makes through the burn in time (first 48hrs) they are usually good.Overall Review: Works well, as good as other Samsung products. Smart Switch was great! After setup could not tell it was international version all settings mirrored phone. It was a good price, good product and easy setup with other Samsung products.

Title: Well mine was a Middle East/Africa region, works perfect in the US
Review: So you turn on your new A9 8.7″ ‘International” tablet, select English (US) as the language, and the next page asks you to select your country…This is an “INTERNATIONAL” tablet, preprogrammed for some region or other, guaranteed NOT THE US because this tablet wasn’t really available in the US. Now what?First things first, make sure you have a Google (gmail) and a Samsung account made in advance. If you have an Android phone you already have a Google account, if it’s a Samsung then you’re golden.Now select random or cool country from the list. Mine was Middle East and Africa so I chose the least unfriendly country on the list. Continue letting the tablet reset.Now it’s going to ask if you want to synch with your Android phone or enter your accounts manually, do whichever floats your boat but using the smart synch feature is easiest.Finally once the tablet loads, if by some chance the ‘location’ setting is turned off, switch it on.Ta-Daaaa! You’re now using your A9 8.7″ International tablet in the US. You’re welcome. 🙂

Title: If You Live in North America and have a Samsung Phone, Read This Before You Return It
Review: When I was looking to buy this I noticed all the one star ratings returned theirs because it was an “International” model, like the description states. People didn’t know that international was going to mean that you couldn’t pick your location if you live in the United States. Your only choices were countries in the middle east. I think this is because Samsung does not support the Tab A9 in North America.I am an IT guy, and here is what I did. During set up, you pick your language. (English US). Then you pick your country. Of the middle eastern choices, I chose Saudi Arabia. It won’t matter which country you pick. After that initial set up it realized I had a Samsung phone in range and asked if I wanted to transfer my files from my Samsung Galaxy S20 phone. I did this wirelessly using SmartSwitch. The tablet took the location information from my phone, effectively overwriting my Saudi Arabia location choice earlier.I can vouch 100% for this device. I got this as an alternative to my ipad because of its size and weight, and I am tired of waiting for the iPad Mini 7 to come out. This is a third of the price as well. Its nice playing games and looking at pictures and watching videos on the 8″ screen instead of my phone. I even set it up so I can text and make phone calls from it being logged into my Samsung account. I even did a video call, just like Facetime on an iPad.I hope this helps offset the negative reviews which center around the location setting and returning it instead of reviewing the device itself.

Review: Worked well for about a week. The front facing camera stopped working. I downloaded another camera and it still didn’t work. I tried reaching out to support, but it only takes me to Samsung’s website and they are unable to help me where this was a third party dealer.I reached out to the supplier, but they are ignoring me.DON’T BUY DON’T WAIST YOUR MONEY.
