About Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2019

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2019 presents an 8‑inch IPS TFT LCD screen that delivers a modest 800 by 1280 pixel resolution, offering clear colours and decent viewing angles for everyday media consumption. Encased in a slim chassis measuring 124.4 by 210 by 8 millimetres and weighing just 345 grams, the tablet feels light enough to hold for extended periods while running Android 9.0 Pie out of the box.

Under the hood, 2 gigabytes of RAM support basic multitasking and app navigation, while a 5100 mAh battery aims to keep the device powered through a typical day of browsing, streaming or light productivity. Connectivity is handled via a single SIM slot, allowing users to stay connected on the go when a Wi‑Fi network isn’t available.

This variant

This variant is the Wi‑Fi‑only configuration, offering 32 GB of built‑in storage. It does not carry the LTE modem present in the SM‑T295N, SM‑T295C and SM‑T295 models, nor does it include an S Pen like the SM‑P205 and SM‑P200 editions.

Compared with the Wi‑Fi 64 GB sibling (SM‑T290 64 GB), it provides half the storage while sharing the same core hardware. Unlike the S Pen‑equipped tablets, it omits the stylus and its associated software features.
