What Buyers Say
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.7" T220 2022, MediaTek MT8768T, 3GB, 64GB, Gray
65 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The Samsung tablet receives mixed feedback. While many users praise its GPS performance, build quality, and value as a dedicated device for specific tasks like navigation or Bible study, a significant number of complaints center on misleading storage specifications. Several verified buyers report that the advertised 64 GB model actually has only 32 GB of internal memory, with the rest relying on an SD card, which limits app installation and causes frustration. Battery life and slow charging are also noted as drawbacks, especially for refurbished units.
Pros
- Fast GPS lock outdoors
- Good build quality
- Good value for the price
- Easy setup
- Samsung brand reliability
Cons
- Misleading storage capacity (32 GB vs 64 GB)
- Short battery life
- Slow charging time
- Apps cannot run from SD card
- Refurbished units may have battery issues
