Have used and abused a Note 8 for several years and now the second battery is failing. Time for an upgrade. Was leaning towards the Tab A 10.1 but the S5e dropped into my lap.
Standard Samsung tablet only thinner and lighter, with a beautiful AMOLED screen, faster processor and updated OI
Set-up was straight forward, easily transferred data from my old tablet to this one. Hardest part was remembering all of my password. Add a micro SD card, screen protector and a case and this is a perfect travel companion.
Being thinner, the 3.5 mm headphone jack is eliminated, a USB C to 3.5 mm adapter is included but Bluetooth works very well, both range and reception are top notch.
Have yet to try movies but YouTube videos stream effortlessly and look great.
Overall, a great tablet, worth the extra cost.

I purchased this for my mother. She has had no complaints. She purchased a cover and keyboard and now uses this tablet more than her computer! Would definitely recommend!

I had a galaxy tab pro for 4 years, used it everyday and it never failed me! I purchased this just because I wanted something faster, it is lightning quick, I love it, can’t go wrong.

My old Samsung tablet died on me and I. Wasn’t in the position that I could buy a new one. A very dear friend had passed and I had her Apple iPad I used it for about 2 years but couldn’t get comfortable with it. I finally brought down and got my Samsung Tab 5 and I do love it. Haven’t had the chance to use it a super lit but now all the Apple is for me is falling asleep to a rainstorm every night.

I am loving my new tablet. The screen size is awesome. The picture is so clear. A much needed upgrade from my old device. The volume is amazing and very clear. So glad I chose this Samsung tablet.

It has an absolutely gorgeous display with high resolution and vivid colors. Movies and TV shows looked better on this tablet than on my living room HDTV. The tablet is very thin and quite light for a 10 inch tablet and seems durable, however I still placed it in a tablet case. Performance is quite good and with 4GB of ram, it can handle many active applications simultaneously. It took me a while to get accustomed to the Android 9 OS since all my other Android devices have older versions of that OS. However, I find that I really like it. In particular, battery saving seems greatly improved over prior versions.
Overall, this is one fine tablet – easily the best I have owned even if the touch screen seems a little too sensitive: it frequently detected a touch before my finger actually contacted the screen. However, it was easy enough to become adjusted to that. So in my book, this is actually a very good and affordable tablet

Got rid of my tab S3 do to slowness the tab 5e is a much Superior tablet even though it doesn’t have a stylus I bought one for $0.99 it works better than Samsung one with the tab S3. Great speakers good volume Great Sound screen is amazing battery life is good tablet speed is excellent only complaint is the power button is recessed and difficult to find sometimes but highly recommend this tablet.

I’m loving it, much faster than my old one. I’m still getting use to all the little differences and still have a lot to learn… the settings and where to find stuff is different than my old one.

I just needed to inform you guys that I’m actually writing this review on the very tablet I’m reviewing using the Samsung keyboard cover. I have owned this for over a month since writing this so I feel comfortable speaking my mind.
The first thing I need to say is that this tablet is the perfect size and aspect ratio for my needs. It’s 10.5 inches and a 16:10 aspect so it has a similar feel to a small laptop. The screen itself looks incredibly good and has a high resolution so that I can watch stuff in 1440p, which makes this tablet all the more impressive. Another point to mention is the sound quality from the four speakers. They get loud and can actually produce a bit of bass. However, I would not depend on these to entertain a party, but if you don’t want to bother with headphones the speakers do well enough. Speaking of headphones, this tablet unfortunately ditches the headphone jack. I find this less annoying because there is a USB C to 3.5mm jack adapter included in the box. But of course, bluetooth is always an option.
Now when it comes to using the tablet itself, it is really great overall. I basically feel like this is a pro-level product at half the cost of other “pro” tablets. Yes, it runs android and yes, your phone can do the same thing. But your phone can’t magnetically connect to a folio keyboard that also becomes it’s case that can very easily be typed on comfortably. Yes, you do have to pay extra for it, but with the money you’re saving compared to the competitors from the Cupertino Space Donut, I say it’s worth it. Not to mention that you can still put in an SD card to expand the storage as much as you want, and 64gb as the base storage isn’t that big of a deal because of the epandability. Oh yea, this tablet also packs a USB C port, so you can connect almost anything else to it and it’ll work. I have tried thumb drives, mice and others. I have yet to test a USB C hub, but will attempt it in the future to see if the screen can be extended or cloned to an external display.
Another thing to note is that this tablet, like the Tab S4 before it, can launch into DEX mode. I like this because it allows me to have more flexiblilty when it comes to using this tablet more similarly to a laptop, but do not mistake this mode for a laptop replacement. Because no matter how hard I try, I cannot get any of the web browsers to behave like a desktop-grade one. Yes, you heard me, that means that if there is anything flash-based that needs to play in-browser it will not work. Mind you, this is not a deal breaker for me, just a gripe, so just know that this is not a chromebook in disguise. I really hope Samsung updates DEX to behave more like Chrome OS or at the very least have a seperate Samsung Internet Browser for DEX that behaves like a desktop net browser.
Playing games on this with touchscreen controls can get super awkward super quickly, I would highly recommend a controller. Minecraft works like a treat on the larger screen and PUBG is playable. Obviously some of the simpler games can work on this, but don’t expect console-grade performance from it. Thankfully Samsung doesn’t try to market this tablet this way, unlike a certain Fruit-based company.
Overall, I think this is an underrated tablet and Samsung needs to step up their marketing game with this. The fact that I have seen so few commercials for it and the fact that the only major tech youtuber that has had a sneak peak of it was Super Saf, I find it kinda shocking that Samsung doesn’t seem to have too much faith in this thing. Sure, the main limitation is the fact that it’s a tablet, but any of the shortcomings can VERY easily be fixed in software.

I just got this and it works fine. My other TAB 2 stopped working so brought this as a replacement. I really miss having the option to pick other colors as they only had this in silver and black. My other one is gold.

Very nice. I use it primarily for editing pictures and social media. It works great.
1 issue I have is it is too large to carry around. I have the 8″ S2 and it is much more convenient.
1 problem, after the last software update it would no longer recognize the SD card so I had to format it and lost all the info. (It was backed up)

This is a great tablet from Samsung Galaxy. I ordered this because we wanted something for our son to be able to interact but also to ensure that we could have some fun time later or check emails.
