Samsung Tab A8 Wi-Fi 8 Inch - Silver

Product Information

With a sleek and simple design, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 doesn’t really do anything different from other tablets. The review unit I was sent comes in a dark gray metal chassis, which is the only color option readily available in Australia (where the testing was conducted). However, UK and US buyers have some other color choices, including a delightful pink-gold or silver option. While a 7,040mAh battery in the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 sounds impressive on paper, it’s a smaller capacity than both the 2021 iPad’s 8,526mAh and the TCL Nxtpaper 10s’ 8,000mAh batteries. Despite that, it still offers a decent runtime of up to a few days, depending on usage. Samsung might not have taken the same steps as TCL to promote eye care, but it’s not completely absent from the Tab A8. With the Eye Comfort Shield setting, you can adjust the display to a warmer tone, either constantly or on a timer closer to bedtime, to reduce blue light being emitted from the display.

There is a slight camera bump on the rear, so while it’ll get a bit of a wobble when not in a case, it’s not as intrusive as some other similar tablets. I tested this tablet almost directly after finishing up the TCL Nxtpaper 10s review, providing me with a really good comparison between two similarly specced devices. While they're nothing special, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 has both a 8MP rear and 5MP front camera.

Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed.Network Band: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 might not do anything different to other tablets physically, but its metal chassis gives it a more premium feel than its price tag would indicate. The Samsung TV Plus app is available free of charge on Galaxy Store and Google Play for select Galaxy device users running Android O OS or higher. Network connection required. Samsung is able to keep the cost of the Tab A8 down by using a 10.5-inch LCD screen for its display, rather than an AMOLED screen like in the Galaxy Tab S8. Despite that, it’s bright and vibrant with crisp and clean details and, after coming from the TCL Nxtpaper 10s, I found the difference to be very noticeable.Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed.

Since the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 has a metal chassis, it feels like a more expensive tablet.

Actual storage space availability may vary depending on pre-installed software, model, file size and format. If you’re not a fan of onscreen keyboards, the Tab A8 has Bluetooth 5.0 built in, so you can connect wireless keyboards to it as well. I used a cheap keyboard while testing it out and had no issues connecting to it. And, just like the onscreen keyboard, I found there was no input delay either. Display Size: Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners. The device comes loaded with Android 11 out of the box, but you will be prompted to update with support available for Android 13. The majority of my testing was done on Android 11, but then I updated it to Android 13 later to see how it impacted performance.
