The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 & S Pen (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 449 in the UAE and ₹9,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 & S Pen (2015) released in 2024 features an 8.0-inch TFT display with 768 x 1024 resolution and no mention of refresh rate, offering basic clarity but no smoothness. Its quad-core 1.2 GHz chip and Android 5.0 Lollipop deliver sluggish performance for modern apps. The included S Pen enables basic note-taking, making it usable for simple sketches or annotations. The 4200 mAh battery lasts through light use, but the 338g weight feels bulky for prolonged handheld tasks. The 256GB storage is generous, but the outdated OS limits app compatibility and security updates. In UAE at AED 449, it’s value because it’s one of the few budget tablets with S Pen support and ample storage. In India at ₹9999, it’s overpriced — even entry-level Android tablets now ship with newer OS versions and better displays. Buy only if you need a low-cost stylus device for basic tasks and can tolerate lag.
