Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners. Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Given that it only has up to 4GB of memory, its overall performance is pretty good, even when running multiple apps that have moving graphics or videos. It won’t prompt you to clean up the device’s storage like the TCL Nxtpaper 10s does, but there’s a button to close all currently open apps on the 'currently open apps' screen to help improve its running capability in the short term instead. Speeds indicate the performance of different processor cores. Core numbers vary between processors. Display Size: Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners.

The Samsung TV Plus app is available free of charge on Galaxy Store and Google Play for select Galaxy device users running Android O OS or higher. Network connection required. Memory size: User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the phones features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed.The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 experience begins with Samsung’s signature tablet design and feel, beloved by users of the Tab S series. Its lightweight form boasts an expanded 10.5-in ch screen with a remarkably slim bezel and a 16:10 common aspect ratio. The result is an 80 percent screen to body ratio, which enables a much more immersive viewing experience than past tablet models. Whether users are streaming a favourite show, gaming with friends or catching up with family on video calls, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8’s quad-speaker with Dolby Atmos® provides a rich soundscape with unparalleled detail, depth and realism. Battery time is based on our own laboratory measurements, and may vary depending on factors such as device settings, usage patterns and operating conditions. Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed. The device comes loaded with Android 11 out of the box, but you will be prompted to update with support available for Android 13. The majority of my testing was done on Android 11, but then I updated it to Android 13 later to see how it impacted performance.

Since the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 has a metal chassis, it feels like a more expensive tablet.

(Image credit: Future / Sharmishta Sarkar)Samsung is able to keep the cost of the Tab A8 down by using a 10.5-inch LCD screen for its display, rather than an AMOLED screen like in the Galaxy Tab S8. Despite that, it’s bright and vibrant with crisp and clean details and, after coming from the TCL Nxtpaper 10s, I found the difference to be very noticeable. There is a slight camera bump on the rear, so while it’ll get a bit of a wobble when not in a case, it’s not as intrusive as some other similar tablets. Memory size - User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the tablet features. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 might not do anything different to other tablets physically, but its metal chassis gives it a more premium feel than its price tag would indicate. While a 7,040mAh battery in the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 sounds impressive on paper, it’s a smaller capacity than both the 2021 iPad’s 8,526mAh and the TCL Nxtpaper 10s’ 8,000mAh batteries. Despite that, it still offers a decent runtime of up to a few days, depending on usage.
