The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 128GB is Samsung's tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 185.6 cm2 (~71.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 4212 Dual chipset. It comes with a 4450 mAh battery. At AED 199 in the UAE and ₹4,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 128GB offers an 8.0-inch display with 800x1280 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio, but lacks modern panel tech or refresh rate upgrades—its LCD is basic, 60Hz, and low-density at 189 ppi. Powered by the outdated Exynos 4212 Dual and Android 4.2.2, it struggles with modern apps and multitasking. No stylus support exists. Its only real strength is the 128GB storage, useful for offline media. The 4450 mAh battery lasts longer than expected but drains fast under light use due to inefficient software. At 314g, it’s heavy for its size. In UAE at AED 199, it’s value because you get local network support and ample storage for movies or documents on a tight budget. In India at ₹4499, it’s overpriced—same specs are available for under ₹3000 elsewhere. Buy only if you need a secondary device for basic web browsing or e-books, and accept its 2013-era limitations.
