Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 60.1 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 is a good quality Android tablet device launched many years ago, provisioned with a powerful CPU ticking at 1200 MHz, a 8" multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. But it's time to get into a bit more detail.

The Tab A 8.0 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 system chip, including a great performance 1.2 gigahertz processing unit with a huge 1,5 GB RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 has anice 16 GB internal memory and a slot for SD memory cards, enough to store hundreds of apps without running out of space.

Being just 0.29 inches thick,this device is slim and stilized. This tablet is only 8.2" long, but it still manages to hold a 8" display. This tablet is much lighter than what one would expect from a tablet this size. This device is offerred in 3 colors, gray, blue and white.

The Tab A 8.0 has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 2 MP front side camera. It is capable of shooting videos up to 1280x720 (HD). In addition, the camera counts with a couple of good characteristics: face detection shooting, auto-focus and geo tagging.

This device includes an average 1024 x 768 8" display, which makes everything look good. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This tablet includes Wi-Fi capability (which it can provide to other devices as a mobile hotspot). This tablet doesn't use a sim card, because it doesn't work with GSM networks.

The Tab A 8.0 uses a 4200 mAh incredible Li - Ion non-removable battery providing the Tab A 8.0 a marvelous battery life. An issue to evaluate is that this device's battery is non-replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to live shorter, while with such a big battery you will probably replace this device before that becomes a real problem.

This tablet also features a handful of interesting features as Bluetooth (4.1) and GPS, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor and Accelerometer.

This tablet is being sold for about $ 139, which is not a very good offer for comparing with other similar tablets. It doesn't matter whether you need a tablet to majorly use social networks and internet browsing, need a tablet for work or are looking for a tablet device for playing games, you will probably be very satisfied with it.
