Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab A7 as its latest budget tablet in early September. The device was initially made available in Europe and it even made its way to India late last month. Now, it has finally hit the US shores as well in 32GB and 64GB storage configurations. Interestingly, it is cheaper in America than other regions.
The Galaxy Tab A7 is one of the few devices from Samsung’s portfolio to come with a Qualcomm chipset worldwide.It is powered by 11nm Snapdragon 662 chip paired with 3GB RAM. This combo is more than enough to handle multimedia and some light gaming.
The tablet sports a 10.4-inch TFT LCD panel on the front with a resolution of 2000 x1200 pixels and around 80% screen-to-body ratio. It features a metal unibody design like most tablets in the market and houses an 8MP rear-facing camera as well as a 5MP front-facing camera for video calls and selfies.

A 7,040mAh battery runs the show and it charges via USB Type-C port. It also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is surprisingly not present in the cheaper $199.99 TCL TAB by Verizon Wireless.
That said, the new budget tablet from Samsung runs One UI 2.1 based on Android 10 and features dual-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, quad-speaker, and a microSD card slot to expand the storage if needed.
The Galaxy Tab A7 is only available in WiFi version in the US and customers can pick it up in either Dark Gray, Silver or Gold color variant. The base 32GB model is priced at $229.99, whereas the higher 64GB costs $279.99. That means the tablet is more affordable than in both Europe and India.
