Samsung Galaxy Tab A11: Upcoming budget Android tablet receives FCC certification

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A series is a budget-oriented tablet lineup. The series is expected to receive a new model: the Galaxy Tab A11.

Previously, a tablet with model number SM-X130 was certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It is expected to be the WiFi-only variant of the Galaxy Tab A11. Now, the LTE variant with model number SM-X135 has been certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US.

The FCC certification confirms that the tablet supports GSM, WCDMA, and LTE connectivity. Additionally, it supports dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz).

Apart from the connectivity options, the tablet is listed with HQ-3565S and HQ-6739SDS Li-ion batteries. It is likely that the tab will have a battery capacity of around 5,000mAh. The FCC certification also lists the EP-T1510 charging adapter, which supports 15W charging according to Samsung’s website.

The certification does not reveal the full specifications of the tablet. However, it is a strong indicator of an imminent release. The Galaxy Tab A11 is said to be the successor to the Galaxy Tab A9, which launched in October 2023. The Tab A9 featured an 8.7-inch TFT LCD panel with a resolution of 800 x 1340 pixels. It was powered by the Helio G99 processor. The tablet came with an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera. The Tab A9 had a 5,100mAh battery with 15W wired charging support. It was priced at 160 USD.
