Tablet · Samsung · 2020
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 128GB is Samsung's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.5 inches, 319.7 cm2 (~76.3% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SDM450 Snapdragon 450 (14 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7300 mAh battery. At AED 699 in the UAE and ₹15,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 delivers a crisp 10.5-inch 1200x1920 LCD screen with 216 ppi, offering sharp text and decent color for reading and streaming, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Powered by the sluggish Snapdragon 450 and Android 10, it handles basic tasks but stutters under multitasking or demanding apps. It supports the S Pen (sold separately), making it usable for light note-taking, but pressure sensitivity is basic. At 530g, it feels heavy for prolonged one-handed use. Battery life lasts all day with moderate use, but charging is slow. In UAE at AED 699, it’s value because it’s one of the few 10.5-inch tablets under AED 700 with 128GB storage and S Pen compatibility. In India at ₹15999, it’s overpriced — competitors like the Lenovo Tab M10 offer similar screens and better performance at lower cost.
