Are you in need of an Android tablet for basic media consumption ? Then Ulefone’s latest affordable tablet should meet your needs and budget. With the Tab A8, Ulefone introduces its second Tab series tablet and it looks great. It’s a pretty good entry-level device that offers good features such as a sleek metal construction, 10.1-inch full HD+ display, powerful speakers and long battery life. If you want a tablet for casual needs or light productivity tasks and don’t want to break the bank, the Ulefone Tab A8 is just the device to get. Here’s an overview of this new tablet. So let’s check it out.
Design and Build
Although the Ulefone Tab A8 is a budget Android tablet, that doesn’t mean users have to compromise on materials or build quality. This full-sized tablet features a slim metal body and relatively small bezels around the screen. The touch of metal, coupled with the glossy silver finish and flat edges, makes for a premium look and feel. At 7.35mm thick, the Tab A8 is thin enough and fairly lightweight at just 483 grams.
There is a load of ports located around the edges, including a USB C 2.0 charging port, a 3.5mm headphone jac and POGO pins for connecting the keyboard cover. There’s also a slot for a SIM card and microSD memory card (up to 256GB is supported) or four stereo speakers. You’ll also find a 5MP selfie camera, that sits on the landscape edge, to ensure you look your best during business or personal video calls. And a 13MP camera on the rear.
Screen and Speakers
The Ulefone Tab A8 packs a gorgeous 10.1-inch Full HD (1920×1200 pixels) 60Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio for a pixel density of 225 PPI. What’s more, it uses an IPS LCD panel, that produces better colors and viewing angles. For a budget tablet this size, the screen is sufficiently sharp, bright, and colorful. And it’s great for watching videos and playing casual games.

Even better, the screen comes backed up by a quad-speaker sound system with two symmetrical speakers on each side. The audio quality is solid with four stereo speakers, that sound loud and clear. Therefore, whenever you watch on YouTube and Netflix, you’ll have a great experience.
Performance and Others
In terms of performance, the Ulefone Tab A8 runs a 2.0GHz MediaTek MTK6762V/WB octa-core processor. It is paired with the 650MHz PowerVR GE8320 GPU, 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage as standard. Of course, the storage is expandable via microSD to save more photos, videos, documents, or other files.
As for the battery, there’s a 6580mAh lithium-polymer battery inside, which should last around two days of light usage. The Tab A8 comes with a pure version of Android 12, so users can get an ad-free experience.
