For much less than 300 Euros (~$340), you get an LTE tablet with a high-quality workmanship and sufficient performanceВ for everyday operation and even many games. The LTE version that we are testing brings 508 grams (~17.9 oz) to the scale.

The weight also has increased slightly from 460 grams (~16.2 oz) to 477 grams (~16.8 oz) in the WiFi version. In terms of the length, the Galaxy Tab A8 measures 0.8 mm (~0.03 in) more than the Galaxy Tab A7, and the width has increased by 4.5 mm (~0.18 in). On the other hand, the size has slightly grown compared to the predecessor, increasing the image diagonal from 10.4 to 10.5 inches. With a thickness of 6.9 mm (~0.27 in), the Galaxy Tab A8 is minimally slimmer than the Galaxy Tab A7.

At the same time, they also allow holding the Galaxy Tab A8 in the hands without accidentally creating inputs on the TFT display. With a width of about 1 cm (~0.4 in), the bezels around the display are slim enough to create a good visual impression, resulting in a screen-to-body-ratio of 80% for the tabletВ (Galaxy Tab A7: 79%). The metal surface on the back is only interrupted by a slim plastic band going across the whole width of the tablet above the 8-MP main camera. Like the Galaxy Tab A7, the Galaxy Tab A8 is housed in an elegant aluminum case that shows good workmanship and provides the tablet with a high stability. However, when looking at the 10.5-inch mid-range tablet, you don't really notice this low price. But are those rather careful updates sufficient to also remain competitive in the mid-range tablet segment in 2022? We find out in this test.ДЇrom online vendors, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 in the smallest equipment version already comes close to the 200-Euro (~$226) mark at the time of this test. The LCD TFT continues to offer a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution, and as before, there are four speakers, a 5-MP selfie camera, and an 8-MP main camera. The Galaxy Tab A8 now brings the same good premises, officially starting from 229 Euros (~$259) and also being available in an LTE version. In principle, this should be okay, since the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 already impressed us last year with its very good price-performance ratio. Samsung hasn't changed much in the rest of the equipment of its tablet. Instead of a maximum of 32 GB of storage, there are now also options with 64 and 128 GB of storage. The Galaxy Tab A8 uses the Unisoc T618В quad-core SoC, which should make it about 10% faster than the predecessor, according to the manufacturer. The largest updates lie in the processor and storage. This begins with the 10.5-inch Galaxy Tab A8, which is the successor to the 10.4-inch Galaxy Tab A7.

Samsung injects new life into its affordable Galaxy Tab A series.
