The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2015) 256GB 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 399 in the UAE and ₹8,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2015) released in 2024 with a 8.0-inch 768x1024 LCD screen at 160 ppi and no adaptive refresh rate, offers basic viewing but no visual refinement. Its quad-core 1.2 GHz processor and Android 5.0 Lollipop struggle with modern apps, and there’s no stylus support. It excels only in holding a 4200 mAh battery for light browsing or video playback over long stretches. The 256GB storage helps for offline media, but the outdated OS limits app compatibility. Weight at 313g feels bulky for prolonged one-handed use. In UAE at AED 399, it’s value because it’s a cheap backup device for elderly users or kids watching YouTube. In India at ₹8499, it’s overpriced—same specs are available for under ₹5000. Avoid if you need app updates, multitasking, or touch precision. This tablet is a relic with a large battery and no future.
