The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2015) 128GB is Samsung's tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 198.2 cm2 (~69.0% screen-to-body ratio) display. It comes with a 4200 mAh battery. At AED 299 in the UAE and ₹6,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2015) released in 2024 retains its 8.0-inch 768x1024 LCD screen with 160 ppi and no adaptive refresh rate, offering basic clarity but no modern sharpness. Its quad-core 1.2 GHz chip and Android 5.0 Lollipop struggle with multitasking and modern apps. It lacks stylus support and has no rear camera worth mentioning. The 4200 mAh battery lasts through light browsing but drains fast with video. At 313g, it’s heavy for prolonged one-handed use. In UAE at AED 299, it’s value because it’s a functional backup device for kids or elderly users needing a simple screen for YouTube or WhatsApp. In India at ₹6499, it’s overpriced — even budget tablets now offer Android 13, HD displays, and dual cameras. This tablet feels like a relic dressed as a new product. Buy only if you need a no-frills display and have zero app demands.
