Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 teased on Amazon India; launch imminent
Samsung is gearing up to introduce the Galaxy Tab A8 in India soon. Now, a microsite of the tablet has gone live on Amazon, revealing its design, features, and key specifications. The tablet was launched in Europe earlier this month. It has a Full-HD+ TFT display, an 8MP rear camera, quad speakers, and a 7,040mAh battery.
Why does it matter?
The Galaxy Tab A8 will be the newest addition to Samsung's portfolio of tablets in India and will attract buyers who are looking for affordable tablets, especially students. In comparison to its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab A7, the Tab A8 provides a larger display, more storage, and up to 10% faster CPU as well as GPU performance.

The Galaxy Tab A8 has a conventional rectangular screen with uniform bezels and a sleek body measuring just 6.9mm. On the rear, it has a single camera unit. The tablet comes with a 10.5-inch Full-HD+ (1920x1200 pixels) TFT touch display with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a screen-to-body ratio of around 80%. It is offered in Gray, Pink Gold, and Silver color options.
It sports an 8MP main camera
The Galaxy Tab A8 is equipped with a single 8MP camera on the back and a 5MP snapper on the front for taking selfies as well as video calls.

Under the hood, it runs on Android 11-based OneUI and packs a 7,040mAh battery with 15W fast-charging support. For connectivity, the device offers support for dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and a Type-C port.
