A few days back, a Samsung tablet with model number SM-T225 was certified by FCC. This tablet was even spotted on Geekbench in late January. Now, it has made its appearance on Bluetooth SIG as well. The product’s listing confirms it to go official as Galaxy Tab A7 Lite.

Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab A7 as a budget tablet for everyday use. In February, a leak revealed that the South Korean tech giant will be releasing a toned-down variant of this tablet called Galaxy Tab A7 Lite in June 2021.

Now, thanks to Bluetooth certification (Bluetooth 5.0), we now know that the upcoming Galaxy Tab A7 Lite will be none other than the Samsung tablet with model number SM-T225. We even guessed the same when this tablet was spotted on FCC earlier this week.

According to previous reports, the tablet will flaunt an 8.7-inch display. It will feature a slim design with a metal unibody construction. The product will be targeted at customers looking for one-handed usage and immersive entertainment.

Further, this ODM-made tablet will be powered by MediaTek Helio P22T (aka P22 Tab) SoC. The chipset will be coupled with 3GB RAM. It will be capable of scoring around 810 points and 3439 points in Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

Other features of the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite will include a single rear camera, a front-facing camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. Last but not least, it will run Android 11 and will be backed by a 5,100mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging.

In late January 2021, a Samsung tablet with model number SM-T225 was spotted on Geekbench. The listing revealed the chipset, RAM capacity, and operating system of the mysterious Galaxy Tab. Now, a little over a month later, this tablet has been certified by FCC.

The FCC certification (via GoAndroid) of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab SM-T225 does not disclose much about this tablet. Except for the fact that it is an ODM (Huaqin Telecom Technology Co., Ltd.) product with support for WiFi, Bluetooth, and LTE. 

But the listing mentions the tablet to be backed by a battery manufactured by SCUD (Fujian) Electronics Co., Ltd. Searching its model number HQ-3565S on TÜV Rheinland we found it to have a capacity of 5,100mAh. Also, the tablet will be shipping with an EP-TA200 adapter, which is nothing but Samsung’s 15W Adaptive Fast Charging charger.

Further, the sketch meant for label location exposes the rear design. The design looks similar to that of the recently leaked Galaxy Tab A7 Lite and Galaxy Tab A 8.4″ (2021). We think the SM-T225 cannot be the latter as its 3.5mm headphone jack sits at the bottom and not at the top, as on the Galaxy Tab 8.4″ (2021).

Hence, there’s a high chance that the Samsung Galaxy Tab SM-T225 could be the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite with an 8.7-inch display and slim metal design. Lastly, according to Geekbench, it will feature MediaTek Helio P22T (aka P22 Tab) SoC, 3GB RAM, and Android 11.

The year 2021 has just begun but Samsung has already launched a bunch of smartphones, including the Galaxy S21 series. Now, it seems like the company is gearing up to release its first tablets of 2021 as one of them has been spotted on Geekbench revealing certain specs.

This upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab will come with model number SM-T225. According to its Geekbench listing, it will be powered by MediaTek MT8768WT chipset.

For those unaware, this rare SoC is known as MediaTek Helio P22T (aka P22 Tab). This silicon is found inside the Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus (2nd Gen). 

Further, the forthcoming Samsung tablet will feature 3GB RAM and thankfully, it will run Android 11, unlike some recently launched budget Galaxy smartphones.

Nothing else is known about this Galaxy Tab, apart from the above-mentioned features and its Geekbench score, which happens to be 810 points and 3439 points for single core and multi-core tests respectively.

That said, the Samsung SM-T225 could be the Galaxy Tab A 8.4” (2021) whose 3D CAD renders were leaked earlier. But we think that the chances are low as last year’s Galaxy Tab A 8.4” (2020) features the model number SM-T307, which is larger. So this one could be a cheaper model instead.
