Very disappointing
I am very disappointing with this tablet. The old Samsung tablet worked better then the replacement one. I spent hour, over hours on the phone with Support trying to get the item to work. Even after the tablet worked, it still has slow responds. I try to re activate my old tablet, and support say them cannot, this is crazy
