Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite 32gb
I give tablet definite "1". Sadly there is no "ZERO". Cannot change Time zone. Always on Beijing time, 13 hours behind. Clock displays 1 hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time. After transferring data, several days later the data erased itself! Lost information from 2018 thru 2022! Never happened before purchasing this tablet. Very disappointed in this Samsung product. Never had a problem with other Samsung products.

Cheap Tablet, Decent Specs
a year ago
Ok, I bought this tablet I'd say almost a year ago. It is definitely not the best. My complaints are only that the pixels are big, and that the processor can be slow sometimes. I'd say it's pretty good and it does most of the things you need in a tablet. But just recently I noticed that it has gotten a dead pixel, Which has never happened to me on a device before, It's a potential consideration if you don't want dead pixels on that LCD panel.
No, I do not recommend this product.
