Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5-inch now official with Snapdragon 450

Hot on the heels of announcing their new flagship Galaxy Tab S4 tablet, Samsung is announcing another, cheaper option.

The company has officially announced the Galaxy Tab A 10.5 which, as the name suggests, boasts a 10.5-inch display. Unlike the Galaxy Tab S4, though, this panel is a TFT LCD with a resolution of 1920×1200. There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor under the hood which is coupled with 3GB of RAM.

The Galaxy Tab A 10.5-inch has 32GB of built-in storage and there is a microSD card slot that supports expandable storage up to 400GB. There is an 8MP camera on the back and a 5MP front-facing camera on the other side. The Galaxy Tab A’s battery measures in at 7300mAh, it’s running Android 8.1 Oreo, and it has a USB Type-C port for charging.

Samsung is including some kid-oriented apps, preinstalling titles like Toca Hair Salon 3 and BRIO World – Railway. There are eight titles built for kids already installed on the tablet out of the box.

Unfortunately, Samsung isn’t announcing a release date for the Galaxy Tab A 10.5-inch just yet, and there is no word on pricing just yet. There will be Wi-Fi-only and LTE-equipped models.

The Galaxy Tab A will probably not cost a lot of money, and it appears that Samsung is aiming to have a more kid-friendly tablet with this newest Galaxy Tab A model. Do you think you’ll pick up this new option depending on price?
