Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S21 FE earlier this week. Since the announcement, the company has been revealing its availability in multiple markets. The handset is now up for pre-order in China alongside the Galaxy Tab A8.

Samsung has announced the Galaxy S21 FE and the Galaxy Tab A8 in China. The smartphone and the table are available for pre-order in the country.

In case you do not know, the Galaxy S21 FE is powered by two different chipsets, namely Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100. As China is known for getting Qualcomm variants of Samsung phones, it is not surprising to learn that it is the same case for the successor of Galaxy S20 FE. 

That said, the handset arrives in two memory configurations in the country. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab A8 budget tablet comes in two WiFi and LTE models each.

The new Samsung devices will retail at the following price tags in China starting January 11.

The Galaxy Tab A8 2021 is an upcoming entry-level tablet by Samsung. We have been hearing about this device for the past few weeks. Ahead of its imminent launch, the slate now gets certified by yet another agency.

The forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 2021 has been certified by WiFi Alliance. The model that has appeared on the certification bureau is the LTE variant with model number SM-X205.

The listing does not say much about the tablet, except for a few little things. First and foremost, it will be officially marketed as ‘Samsung Galaxy Tab A8’ without the 2021 moniker. Secondly, the device will support dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz, 5.0GHz). Lastly, it will run Android 11.

According to previous reports, the slate will feature a metal body design measuring 246.7 x 161.8 x 6.9mm in dimensions. The chassis will include a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and quad speakers.

On the front, the tablet will sport a 10.4-inch FHD+ TFT LCD panel and a 5MP camera. Whereas, the rear side will house an 8MP primary camera and Samsung branding.

As per TÜV Rheinland, the device will be backed by a 7,040mAh battery with support for 7.8W charging. As far as the performance is concerned, Geekbench has revealed that it will feature UNISOC T618 SoC.

Last but not least, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2021 will be available in silver, gray, and gold color options when it goes official in the near future.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2021 is in the news since September. Almost two months later, the tablet gets certified by three different certification bureaus, namely FCC, TÜV Rheinland, and BIS. Let’s take a look at what these entries have to say.

From Geekbench listings, we know that the Galaxy Tab A8 2021 will arrive in WiFi-only and LTE variants with model numbers SM-X200 and SM-X205 respectively. However, only the LTE version has been certified by FCC so far.

Whereas, both variants have received certifications from BIS. This means the duo could launch in India.

Further, TÜV Rheinland certification reveals that the tablet will be backed by a 7,040mAh battery. Unfortunately, it will only support 7.8W (1.5A) charging, and therefore, it will take more time to refuel.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy Tav A8 2021 will sport a metal body design with quad-speakers, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It will flaunt a 10.4-inch FHD+ TFT LCD panel and will measure 246.7 x 161.8 x 6.9mm in dimensions.

The device will feature an 8MP single rear camera and a sole 5MP front-facing camera. It will be powered by a UNISOC T618 SoC and will run Android 11. Last but not least, it will be available in three colors (silver, gray, gold).

The Galaxy Tab A8 2021 will most likely go official silently like the previous entry-level tablets from Samsung.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 2021 has been benchmarked on Geekbench. As per the listings, the tablet bears model numbers SM-X200 and SM-X205 respectively. The former is a WiFi-only variant, whereas the latter that was recently spotted on Bluetooth SIG appears to be the LTE model.

Going by the entries, the device will be powered by a UNISOC T618 SoC (found inside HTC A100 tablet) paired with 3GB RAM. As for software, it will run Android 11 (One UI 3.x). Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this product from Geekbench.

The first-ever leak of Galaxy Tab A8 2021 arrived in the form of 3D CAD renders revealing the entire design of the device measuring 246.7 x 161.8 x 6.9mm in dimensions. As per these images, the slate will have a metal body design with thick bezels around the 10.4-inch FHD+ TFT LCD panel and a front-facing camera on the right bezel.

The product will have power and volume keys on the right side, a USB Type-C port at the bottom, Dolby Atmos-supported four speakers (a pair each at top and bottom), and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom left edge. Further, the rear panel will have a single camera at the top left corner and a Samsung branding at the center.

Another report suggested that the tablet will come with an 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 7,040mAh battery, 15W charging. It is expected to come in three colors (silver, gray, gold)

In September, reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer shared the CAD renders of the upcoming Galaxy Tab A8 (2021). It appears that Samsung may launch it soon as it has received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority today.

At Bluetooth SIG, the Galaxy Tab A8 has appeared with SM-X205 model number. The listing has no information on the specs of the device, but it confirms support for Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) specifications (Rumored)

Recent reports have revealed that the Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) will feature a 10.4-inch TFT display that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The tablet is said to be powered by the Unisoc T618, which also powers the HTC A100 tablet that debuted in Russia recently.

The tablet is expected to release in different variants depending on the market. It may arrive in variants such as 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. For additional storage, it will feature a microSD card slot.

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.
