About Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016 presents a modest yet functional tablet form factor, measuring 254.2 mm tall, 155.3 mm wide and just 8.2 mm thick while weighing in at 525 grams. Its front is dominated by a 10.06‑inch TN‑TFT LCD display that delivers a resolution of 1200 by 1920 pixels, offering clear visuals for everyday media consumption and web browsing.
Under the surface the device runs Google Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and is equipped with 2 GiB of RAM, providing enough memory for multitasking between apps and light productivity tasks. Connectivity is kept simple with a single‑SIM configuration, allowing users to stay connected via cellular networks when a SIM is inserted, while the Wi‑Fi‑only variant relies on wireless networks for internet access.
This variant is the US‑specific TD‑LTE version of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016), model SM‑T587P, while the base model description does not specify any particular LTE band support. It therefore provides carrier‑compatible TD‑LTE connectivity for United States networks, a feature absent from the generic base model.
Compared with the Wi‑Fi‑only SM‑T580, this model adds cellular capability via TD‑LTE, whereas the SM‑T580 relies solely on Wi‑Fi. Against the international TD‑LTE SM‑T585, the SM‑T587P is adjusted for US TD‑LTE frequency bands, making it the appropriate choice for US carriers.
Unlike the S‑Pen equipped variants SM‑P580 and SM‑P585N, this tablet omits the S‑Pen stylus, keeping the input method limited to touch. It also differs from those models in lacking the extra RAM and S‑Pen‑related software enhancements found in the S‑Pen line.
