It has the best of display, portability and usability features and specs that separates its league from other family tablets. On the qualitative edge, I am impressed with Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5” and Samsung products have been offering quality for years. Right from smartphones to tablets to LCD screens, they have oozed out the best of products into the market that makes the brand stand out. And the story is the same with this tablet.
Features and Specifications
With more and more enhanced features that are infused in tablets these days, it has become evident that what was the best features and specs back in the days has become basic today. With a promise of hands-on thrill experience, does Samsung nail it with this tablet? Let’s check it out.
RAM and Storage
A family tablet always has the best of entertainment and usability features. So on a foundational level, this tablet is not built for heavy tasks like gaming or editing or creating your motion graphic. Even though with that fact around, Samsung pays attention to RAM. This Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5” has 3GB RAM that is freaking good for the kind of function it delivers. It can handle the best of tasks with the speed and performance it has. For the type of tablet it is, I am definitely with this purchase. It also has a 32GB internal room that makes it possible for all your content to be stored. It is also further expandable up to 400GB with a microSD card. Even though it has a good RAM capacity and decent storage space, this device cannot be a called as the megalith for your needs. It cannot process heavy duties but can afford basic games and functions.
Processor and OS
It has an octa-core processor clocked at a speed of 1.8GHz which gives you speeds and reading rates that favors you anywhere and everywhere. The Qualcomm SDA 450 processor, compared to other top-notch processors in the market, is considered good but not excellent. Qualcomm as a chip has power saving abilities and higher processor speeds that make an efficient processing chip for tablets. Also, the first-hand experience of using the tablet for the first time, the speed rates were excellent! I could not complain. It is not just good, but a better experience. It also runs on the platform of Android Oreo which is a better-updated Android platform which remarks itself as the better and sweeter Android version. The combination of Android O and Qualcomm processor will feed your entertainment needs better and stay in touch with more updates.
Design and Display
If it’s a family tablet, the design and display of it are the judged the most. This amazing tablet is a simple yet elegantly built device that has curved edges to make the whole experience of holding the tablet a sweet one. With a 10.5” display screen, it has ample screen space to work on. Also, it has a 16:10 ratio which is a widely accepted visual aspect ratio that suits the visual experience in the best way possible. It was indeed an immersive experience with the FHD 1920 x 1080 it delivered.
It gives you vivid colors and dynamic sound experience with its quad Dolby Atmos speakers complimenting the visuals. I was pleased with what I traded in for. If you have a fear of carrying it while watching your favorite cinema or tucking it into the backpack and also worried about the weight, then fear not. It just weighs 1.17 lbs, and that answers everything. It is light and portable to carry it around wherever you go. Also with Bixby vision 2.0, get ready to get an enhanced translation of objects into words or vision!
