The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 & S Pen (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 349 in the UAE and ₹7,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 & S Pen (2015) released in 2024 offers an 8.0-inch 768x1024 LCD screen with 4:3 aspect ratio and 160 ppi density, paired with a Quad-core 1.2 GHz chipset and S Pen support — making it one of the few budget tablets with active stylus input. It excels at light note-taking and sketching for students or elderly users needing a simple, tactile writing experience. The 4200 mAh battery delivers all-day use for basic tasks, though Android 5.0 Lollipop lacks app updates and security patches, limiting functionality. The 5 MP rear camera is barely usable, and the 338 g weight feels bulky for prolonged one-handed use. In UAE at AED 349, it’s worth it because the S Pen and screen size justify the price for handwritten tasks in low-light environments. In India at ₹7999, it’s overpriced — newer Android 12 tablets with better displays and support exist for under ₹6000.
