Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Tab A8, a 10.5-inch budget tablet running Android 11. The Galaxy Tab A8 is available in three colours, three memory configurations and starts at US$229.99. LTE models are unavailable currently, though.

Samsung has started selling the Galaxy Tab A8, a tablet that it introduced in December. To recap, the Galaxy Tab A8 has a 10.5-inch display and a 7,040 mAh battery, plus a Unisoc Tiger T618 SoC. The tablet also has a microSD card reader, runs Android 11 and weighs 508 g. According to Samsung, the Galaxy Tab A8 measures 246.8 x 161.9 x 6.9 mm too.

While the company announced that the Galaxy Tab A8 would be available with an LTE modem, only Wi-Fi models are orderable. Presumably, Samsung will introduce LTE configurations at a later date. Typically, LTE models of Galaxy A tablets cost US$40-US$50 more than their Wi-Fi counterparts. It is unclear if LTE models will launch in Grey, Pink Gold and Silver though, as Wi-Fi models have.

Currently, Samsung sells the Galaxy Tab A8 in three memory configurations, starting with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. As it stands, an additional 1 GB of RAM and quadruple the storage is a US$100 surcharge, which we have outlined below.

  • 3 GB RAM / 32 GB storage - US$229.99
  • 4 GB RAM / 64 GB of storage - US$279.99
  • 4 GB RAM / 128 GB of storage - US$329.99
