What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 SM-T377 4G (5GB + 16GB)

  • Mixed battery performance; while some find it long-lasting, others report rapid draining even when not in use
  • Occasional performance lags or app crashes when attempting to multitask or run demanding apps
  • Limited onboard internal storage (16GB), which fills up quickly with apps
  • Pre-installed carrier software (bloatware) that cannot be easily uninstalled
  • Difficulty finding compatible protective cases specifically designed for this model
  • Audio quality from the single speaker can be quiet in noisy environments

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (SM-T377) is a portable 4G LTE-enabled tablet featuring an 8-inch WXGA TFT display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a quad-core 1.3GHz Snapdragon 410 processor. It is equipped with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 128GB or 400GB via a microSD slot. Key advantages include its long-lasting 5,000mAh battery providing up to 13 hours of video playback, a lightweight 360g design, and built-in split-screen multitasking capabilities. However, its performance can be sluggish during demanding tasks due to the dated chipset and limited RAM, and its camera system (5MP rear/2MP front) produces relatively low-quality, noisy images.
