Samsung’s mid-range tablet line, the Galaxy Tab A series, is due for a new model that is expected to arrive as the Galaxy Tab A8 2021. A few weeks ago, we got an early look thanks to renders published on the web. Now the same source has revealed the specifications of the device.
The Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) will have a 10.5-inch TFT WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display according to OnLeaks who has partnered with 91Mobiles once again for this leak. We are surprised Samsung isn’t using the same 10.4-inch screen that shipped with the Galaxy Tab A7 2020.
Earlier reports have said the tablet will be powered by a Snapdragon processor like its predecessor but this new leak says otherwise. The Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) will be powered by Unisoc’s Tiger T618 chipset, the same one that is inside the HTC A100 tablet that launched in Russia a few weeks ago.
Samsung will offer the tablet in different configurations depending on the market. Some will have 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage while others will have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage or 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. While not stated, the tablet should have a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion.
The source says the tablet will have a 5MP front-facing camera and an 8MP camera on the rear. The battery capacity is 7040mAh, unchanged from the Galaxy Tab A7 2020. Last year’s model has support for 15W charging and that will likely be carried over to the Galaxy Tab A8 2021. There is also a mention of a fingerprint scanner on the side which seems unlikely for a budget tablet.
When it launches, the tablet will be available in gold, silver, and gray. It is also expected to launch in WiFi-only and LTE variants.
