Overview
Sharing one screen around the family is the job here: the Galaxy Tab A8 is a Wi-Fi Android tablet with a wide LCD, front and rear cameras and an expansion memory slot. Samsung Kids gives children a library of learning games, and Galaxy phone owners can take calls or move files with Quick Share.
Family sharing tools and split-screen apps make it a household slate for shows, homework and email. Internal storage is small for offline video, and the modest RAM limits heavy multitasking. Video recording tops out at HD rather than full HD.
Who it's for
Households with a Galaxy phone get the most from call handoff and file sharing. Shoppers who travel without wireless access should look at a cellular model.

Performance notes
Smoothness comes from the processor and RAM pairing, which handles streaming and browsing more comfortably than demanding games. Battery life varies with network environment and usage patterns, as Samsung itself notes. Once apps and downloads pile up, a memory card relieves the internal drive.
