According to reports, Samsung is planning on bringing another budget tablet to market in the form of the Galaxy Tab A8 2021. Supposedly the successor to the Galaxy Tab A7, the Galaxy Tab A8 2021 will have a 10.4-inch display surrounded by thick bezels. The 6.9 mm tablet will have an 8 MP primary camera, too.

OnLeaks and 91mobiles have leaked the Galaxy Tab A8 2021, apparently the successor to last year's Galaxy Tab A7, rather than the Galaxy Tab A 8.4 2020. For some reason, it seems that the Galaxy Tab A8 2021 has thicker display bezels than the Galaxy Tab A7, a surprising change in the era of slimmer bezels.

Apparently, the Galaxy Tab A8 2021 has a 10.4-inch display, matching its predecessor. OnLeaks claims that the tablet will have an FHD+ resolution, which would be a downgrade on the 1200p panel in the Galaxy Tab A7. The renowned leaker adds that the Galaxy Tab A8 2021 measures 246.7 x 161.8 x 6.9 mm, making it slightly narrower but longer than the Galaxy Tab A7.

OnLeaks and 91mobiles expect Samsung to release LTE and Wi-Fi versions of the Galaxy Tab A8 2021, although they are unsure when either model will arrive. Likewise, neither has revealed what SoC lies at the heart of the tablet, nor what memory configurations Samsung plans to offer. The tablet's primary camera will only be an 8 MP sensor, though.
