Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its affordable Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) with a 10.4-inch display and Snapdragon 662 chipset. Sadly, the chaebol didn’t really reveal anything about the device except the technical specifications. This means that there was no pricing or availability information about the tablet and well, that changes now.
Samsung has now announced the very first availability details of its affordable tablet. Well, the Tab A7 (2020) is now making its way to Taiwan.
Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) to launch in Taiwan next week!
According to the new development, the Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) will hit the Taiwanese stores on October 1 i.e., next week. The affordable tablet will arrive with a starting price tag of TWD 6,990 (i.e. $240). As you might have guessed, this price is for WiFi-only with 32GB built-in storage version. The 64GB WiFi-only version will be up for grabs for TWD 8,490 (i.e. $292). Interested buyers can also go with the LTE 32GB storage that will set you back TWD 9,900 ($341).
The 64GB LTE version, on the other hand, will not be up for grabs at the time of writing this. Starting from October 15, this configuration will be available via major retail channels across the country. The tablet comes in three color options namely dark gray, silver, and gold.

Apart from Taiwan, the Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) is also expected to hit the Indian stores soon. In fact, we saw an Indian support page going live for the tablet a couple of weeks ago.
Specs, features
As mentioned earlier, we already know what to expect from the Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) tablet. To recall, the tablet comes with a large 10.4-inch IPS LCD display panel with a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels. Under the hood, the device runs on a Snapdragon 662 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and up to 64GB built-in storage. If that’s not enough, the onboard storage is expandable up to 1TB via an external microSD slot.
For optics, there is a single 8MP sensor on the rear while there is a 5MP front snapper for selfies and video calling. On the software front, the device makes use of the latest Android 10 with One UI 2.5 out-of-the-box. It is still unclear how many major software updates the product will receive. We might see three major updates if the device falls under the three-year-update policy.
