Tablet · Samsung · 2020
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e 128GB is Samsung's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.5 inches, 319.7 cm2 (~81.6% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SDM670 Snapdragon 670 (10 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7040 mAh battery. At AED 899 in the UAE and ₹20,499 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e 128GB shines with its 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display, offering deep blacks and vivid colors, though it lacks a high refresh rate, settling at 60Hz. Powered by the Snapdragon 670, it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly but stumbles under heavy gaming or demanding apps. It supports the S Pen out of the box, making it a rare Android tablet with precise stylus input at this price. The 7040mAh battery lasts all day for reading or streaming, but the 400g weight feels bulky for prolonged one-handed use. In UAE at AED 899, it’s worth it because the AMOLED screen and S Pen support justify the cost for note-takers and e-book readers. In India at ₹20499, it’s overpriced—competing tablets offer similar screens with newer chips and better software updates, making this a dated pick despite its strengths.
