The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.4 (2020) 256GB is Samsung's 2021 tablet featuring a 8.4 inches, 204.6 cm2 (~80.9% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 7904 (14 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 549 in the UAE and ₹12,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.4 (2020) delivers an 8.4-inch TFT LCD screen with 1200x1920 resolution and no high refresh rate, offering sharp text and decent color for reading and video, but no OLED brightness or smooth scrolling. Powered by the slow Exynos 7904 and Android 10 (upgradable to 11), it handles basic tasks but stutters with multitasking or demanding apps. It lacks stylus support, ruling out note-taking or drawing. The 5000mAh battery lasts all day with light use, but the 309g weight feels bulky for one-handed use. In UAE at AED 549, it’s worth it because it’s the cheapest 8.4-inch Android tablet with 256GB storage and LTE, perfect for elderly users or kids streaming content. In India at ₹12499, it’s overpriced — rivals like the Redmi Pad offer better performance and larger screens for less. Skip it if you need speed or pen input.
