Community Reviews

The Galaxy Tab A11+ is a fast, solid 11 inch tablet that stands out for everyday use, media, and travel, especially at the promo price. It feels noticeably quicker than the A9+, supports fast charging, and pairs well with Samsung devices. The tablet can come with either eSIM or physical SIM support, but Metro activation and checkout can be finicky, with browser issues, call in requirements, and account limits that may block extra orders. It is a strong value if you can get through the ordering hurdles and do not need a hassle free setup.

  • People who want a faster Android tablet for everyday apps, because it feels noticeably quicker than the A9+ and has no real lag on simple tasks.

  • Samsung ecosystem buyers who keep devices for years, because it offers longer update support and fits well with Samsung phones and earbuds.

    YAWWNbruinfan07

  • Travelers who want a lightweight media tablet, because it handles Netflix and sheet music smoothly and stays useful on the go.

  • Home internet tinkerers who can use hotspot or Ethernet, because the tablet can share data and work with a USB-C Ethernet dock when Wi‑Fi is weak under load.

  • People who want a clean, unbranded setup without firmware work, because carrier branding and bloat can return unless you flash and disable carrier processes.

  • People who need a tablet line they can cancel immediately, because the account can be billed again after 30 days and cancellation may require persistence with support.

  • Travel-router users who need a removable physical SIM, because checkout may only provide eSIM and the tablet can be network locked.

  • Buyers expecting to move the SIM into another device, because Metro binds the SIM to the tablet IMEI and it may not work elsewhere.

In the past, once the previously ordered device is activated, you can order another device with a new line, seems to work with these as well.

No, it should let you get rid of anything extra installed once the CSC is switched, will have to test when I get the A11 and make sure it works the same way.
Would it be fair to say that its better to do what you described then to initialize it in wifi only mode and flash different firmware with odin? And does all the garbage installed and branding come back after each over the air update?

Don't you have to disable cidmanager? Unlless you are deleting eSim and not inserting it but next time you insert a sim the cidmanager process will reboot the phone and configure it to the carrier's csc

I assume you can activate it though the link you get sent via email without opening the box? Then cancel after 14 days?

The only thing the Moto Pad is better, is that it has 2GB more RAM than A11+. It has a inferior processor trying to push that better 2K display on it. A11+ wins out on ecosystem, 7 years of updates (vs 2 years), faster charging, software if you want to get some work done on it and a much stronger processor. Moto Pad is a rebranded Lenovo Idea Tab with cellular connectivity.

Still waiting for mine to ship and arrive, but with the A9+, I activated it with a SIM card, and then changed the CSC with the SamFw tool, and it should get updates, have to look back to see which CSC I used, but when I initially bypassed the activation the first time, the tablet wouldn't get OTA updates.
I am assuming that you changed the CSC by flashing the XAA firmware? I have the A9+ 5G tablet, and I have been unable to find XAA firmware. I don't believe that it exists, because these 5G tablets are built for mobile carriers. You can only flash the firmware of a different carrier. The tablet is not the same as a regular A9+. I am assuming the same is true for the A11+ 5G. Would love a link to the XAA firmware if you've got it.

Ok, so I posted earlier about how trying to get a price adjustment was useless because I do not think they would refund the plan and if anything I think they just would give me a service credit which would have been useless. Actually I would have tried harder if I had more time in my month of service from the A37 deal but that expires on Wednesday. So it let me order a 2nd tablet with the promo. So basically I got one tablet for $50 + $20 that is already flashed to U1/XAA and I just ordered a 2nd one with this deal on same phone line with only 2 days of service left in my phone plan. Now its time to sell my unlocked A9+ to offset the cost. And of couse Ill have to open a ticket but I went through the site that is not retail which had sitewide $20 , now $15
It is currently not allowing me to add a 2nd tablet. Getting message "You can't add a new line right now. For more information, call 1-888-8METRO8 or dial 611 from your Metro by T-Mobile phone."
So I need to wait for the first tablet to arrive and activate and then can order the 2nd tablet (on the same A37 phone line). Is that correct?

It does say "Limit 1 tablet instant rebate per household" in the fine print.
