Granted, I bought my A7 for 299 and free shipping, but that deal ended a couple of weeks ago.
This is about 50 bucks off of most places, and even a hundred bucks off of some!
BJ's is cheaper
BJ's has it listed for 279.99 + shipping
Yeah, just ordered mine from BJ and came to $302 with shipping and non member fee, hell they even beat WalMart, lol.
QVC 299.99 plus shipping can do 4 payments of $74 first payment being little higher

This is how I bought mine... I ordered on Thursday and recieved by SATURDAY. Fantastic deal.
Just an update, they are no longer honoring that price unfortunately.
You would think with a quad core tablet now shipping, that the dual cores would start coming down in price.
This is true. Which is why I went to ebay and got mine.

I just got a brand new Ideapad K1 for $250 from staples. On black friday, I picked up a bunch of refurb HTC flyers for $160 but I returned those for refurb Nook Colors for $120. Best Buy had new Acer Iconias for $189 during black friday. These tablets are coming way down, helped by the HP firesale and all of the new tablets. When the quad-core tablets start dropping, you won't be able to find a dual core tablet above $300. Except Apple, of course, they'll prolly try to keep the iPad a couple hundred more than Android so you think you're getting a "premium" product.
Johny641 is selling several Galaxy Tab 7.0 tablets for $250. They are refurbished units with 16GB memory, metallic gray finish, and Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

I was really happy when I bought my T580. Now today I bought a T590 and ... not so much
All in all, I'm a bit disappointed. For the money, I wonder if there are better options.
I don't remember the exact price I paid for the old one but it was < $200 so I felt I couldn't spend the same and get a two year old tablet..hence the T590 ..but so far..I'm less than impressed...
from specs (expand the spec section)
T580
T590
or
T590
(non-comprehensive quick comparison)
what's the same
Main camera 8mp
screen resolution 1920 x 1080
usb v2.0
recording resolution 1080/30fps
bluetooth v4.2
Li-Ion 7,300mAh
what's diff
32GB vs 16GB ram
holds a bigger sd card 400 vs 256
front camera 5mp vs 2mp
10.5 vs 10.1 screen
it performs a little better... (I included the P580 and s4 just for reference)
android benchmarks
Samsung SM-P580 3,748
Samsung SM-T580 3,692
Samsung SM-T590 4,895
Samsung SM-T830 13,604
cpu benchmarks
Samsung SM-P580 88,850
Samsung SM-T580 89,396
Samsung SM-T590 99,930
Samsung SM-T830 186,419
In my opinion if you can find the 2016... under $200 and $100 < T590... I'd save the $100 or something else.
the S4 is just really high for me...
I was happy with my T580 but ... the screen is no longer displaying anything now..
the T590 just doesn't seem like two years of technical evolution ... it's certainly no revolution :silly:
I kinda bricked my LG Pad and ATM I'm looking to choose between those two...
I found a 10.1 at 161 € and a 10.5 at 220 € so only 59 € difference... I guess that should pay for the 3 Gb of RAM instead of 2 GB (both have 32 Gb storage) and the USB-C...
Btw, is battery life similar? or is it better on the 10.1? (as I read on some reviews).

First, I don't know if your 10.1 is different, or not, but the U.S. one 2016 model that I had, had only 2GB ram and micro usb. Might find the UK samsung site and check those specs.
From the links in my post above, it looks about the same. I haven't had the T590 long enough to judge and frankly, I never kept track on the T580. Some apps can eat it quick. Personally, if I find the most apps work on LineageOS, I'll use it or at a minimum root it, and just the control over running apps should extend the battery.

I've owned several T580s and just bought another one, used, for $99 including shipping. I'm thinking about a 590 simply because in is a later model and might get more attention from devs in the future.
I sold my last T580 a few month ago in favor of a Hipad I got for what I sold the T580. The Hipad has higher spec than the T590 but there isn't much XDA activity for it. I missed trying out new ROMs every about every other week , so I just bought another T580. Can't have too many tablets.:laugh:
I really don't understand why Samsung even bothered releasing the 2018 version of Tab A 10.5 since it came with Snapdragon 450 and same old LPDDR3 RAM. The Snapdragon 450 uses 8xA53 ARM cores, just like the Exynos SoC in the 2018 model. Their performance must be identical, which is confirmed by single core geekbench 4 scores, both in low 700s.
The way I see it, the only significant improvement is that 2018 model finally can have stereo sound in the landscape mode, instead of firing "left" and "right" sound all from one side. Neither seems to have the DRM to play Netflix in HD, which is a big fault in a tablet with a wide aspect ratio screen.
The 2019 model SM-T510 seems to fix the issue by finally moving to a CPU configuration with 4xA73 + 4xA53 cores and LDDDR4 SDRAM. The 32GB model comes with only 2GB of RAM, but 64GB model comes with 3GB.
In order to make the matters even more confusing for consumers, most of whom are not aware of these specs differences, all three Tab A models with 10+ inch screens are available in the USA market. Walmart and Sam's Club sell ONLY the 2016 model as of a couple of weeks ago, the Amazon sells the 2018 model, and the Best Buy stores sell only some kind the 2019 Tab A SM-t510 models. What a mess really.
$99 T580
I received my T580 yesterday afternoon. For $99 I expected it to show some signs of wear but was pleasantly surprised to find it in like new condition. So far I've had fun installing three different ROMs on it. The cheapest T510 I found was double the price and it was the 32bit version. So long as the devs keeping supporting the T580, I just don't think the 2019 models add enough to warrant the price difference.
I just bought my sm-t590 at Walmart in the store for 199 it was under a stack of t580s and they all looked the same I asked about the 580 it was 179 and only 16gb and 590 was 32gb for 20 more dollars. I had to dig to find it never heard of the new tab A until I found it the other day. I have been using my tab pro 8.4 since 2014 and paid 249 for it and I am definitely impressed with the new tab A 10.5 value with what I got! The sm-t590 is a nice tablet!

The T590 is the 2018 version. The 2019 is T510. The cheapest I see for the T590 at Walmart is $214 for a refurbished tablet. I much prefer my like new T580 for $99. And with the 2019 available, it don't think many devs will be looking to buy and develop for the 2018. Just my two cents worth.

The 2019 tab a was not yet in stock at the Walmart store. I did look online for tabs the best deal for a new tablet with storage and size was the one I bought at walmart for $199 the sm-t590. They had 580 and 590 and yes I know the sm-t590 is the 2018 version, also it has been said that the 590 should receive pie but I don't really care about that much if they send it or not. My note 8 is still on 7.1.1.

Who cares what Samsung releases.:laugh: I've got 4 different version of 64bit Pie installed on my T580.:good::good:
I returned the sm-t590 to walmart I had it for 29 days and the screen went dead called Samsung and they were not even willing to help me get a return label, so I pleaded with Walmart to take it back even though only 15 days for tabs return policy, but manager let me exchange it for sm-t510 man does it move much quicker in touch and browsing videos etc. I almost was screwed! Never buying from Walmart again!
