On the last month, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) as an affordable alternative to the Tab S5e. Now, the South Korean has quietly unveiled a more compact model that features an S Pen.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 features an 8-inch LCD display that has the same resolution of its 10-inch sibling – 1920 x 1200 pixels. The S Pen included in the package seems too similar to the one featured by the Galaxy Note 8 and slots in the tablet itself. The new Tablet is powered by the Exynos 7904 chipset just like the larger model, but it has 3GB of RAM. The Storage is the same, 32GB of Storage with just 22GB available for the user. Thankfully the Tab supports memory expansion via a micro SDcard.
