The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 & S Pen (2019) 128GB is Samsung's 2020 tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 185.6 cm2 (~75.2% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 7904 (14 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4200 mAh battery. At AED 599 in the UAE and ₹13,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 with S Pen (2019) delivers an 8.0-inch IPS LCD display with 1200x1920 resolution and 283 ppi, offering sharp text and decent color for reading and sketching, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Its S Pen support enables precise note-taking and light drawing, a rare feature at this price. Powered by the modest Exynos 7904 and Android 11 with One UI Core 3.1, it handles basic apps and multitasking without lag but falters with heavy games or multiple tabs. Battery life lasts a full day with moderate use, but the 325g weight feels bulky for extended handheld use. The 5MP rear camera is purely decorative. In UAE at AED 599, it’s worth it because the S Pen and screen size justify the cost for students and professionals needing affordable stylus input. In India at ₹13499, it’s overpriced — competitors offer better performance and larger screens for similar money.
