Tablet · Samsung · 2020
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e 256GB 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 1,099 in the UAE and ₹24,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e 256GB shines with its 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display—vibrant, sharp at 288 ppi, and without a high refresh rate, but unmatched in contrast and color depth among its peers. Powered by an Octa-core Kryo 360 chipset and Android 11 with One UI 3.1, it handles multitasking and media smoothly. It supports the S Pen out of the box, making it a rare Android tablet with precise note-taking and sketching capability. Its 7040 mAh battery lasts all day under moderate use, but the 8 MP rear camera is barely functional. At 400g, it’s light but lacks premium build heft. In UAE at AED 1099, it’s worth it because the screen and S Pen support justify the price in a market with few alternatives. In India at ₹24999, it’s overpriced—competing tablets offer better processors, higher refresh rates, or more storage for similar cost, making this a tough sell despite its stellar display.
