The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) 128GB is Samsung's 2020 tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 185.6 cm2 (~71.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SDM429 Snapdragon 429 (12 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5100 mAh battery. At AED 399 in the UAE and ₹8,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) delivers an 8.0-inch HD display with 16:10 aspect ratio and 189 ppi, offering decent clarity for reading and video, though its 60Hz refresh rate and IPS panel lack smoothness for fast motion. Powered by a quad-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 and Android 11, it handles light multitasking but stumbles under heavy apps or gaming. It lacks stylus support, ruling out note-taking or drawing. At 345g, it’s portable but feels plasticky and dated. Battery life lasts a full day with moderate use thanks to the 5100 mAh cell. In UAE at AED 399, it’s worth it because it’s one of the few affordable 8-inch tablets with 128GB storage and LTE. In India at ₹8999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo Tab M8 offer similar specs at half the cost with newer software. Buy only if you need a basic, no-frills tablet for browsing or media, and prioritize storage over performance.
