It has a 16GB storage, HD 1280x800 display, 1.3GHz quad core processor, 1.5GB RAM, 5MP rear and 2MP front cameras. The 5000mAh battery is much bigger than Samsung tablets at this price point. - The YouTube Tech Guy |

I find that the performance is decent, handling casual games and apps fine but not heavy games. Camera samples, noting they are below average but tablets aren't meant for great cameras. The speakers are not great but headphone jack is good. - Naren Siddharth |

Samsung has released another budget Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab E 8.0. The Tab E offers decent specs and features for the money.
The Tab E is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor and 1.5GB of RAM, which provides adequate performance for casual use.
It comes with 16GB of storage that can be expanded via microSD card up to 400GB.
The 5000mAh battery also impresses, lasting 1-3 days on a charge depending on your usage.
Additionally, the Tab E packs an 8-inch 800×1280 resolution screen, 5MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, and Android 5.1 Lollipop software upgradable to Marshmallow.
Some LTE variants provide fast 4G connectivity.
The Tab E display uses cheaper TFT technology instead of AMOLED panels found on pricier Galaxy tablets.
The cameras, speakers and materials also feel budget.
While the battery life shines, charging could be inconvenient since the port sits awkwardly on top.
The plastic build looks a bit cheap as well. Finally, gaming performance disappoints due to the underpowered processor and GPU.
If you simply want an affordable, portable media consumption device with long battery life, the Galaxy Tab E makes for a decent choice.
But power users wanting top specs for gaming or multitasking should skip this entry-level slate.
At the end of day, Samsung had to cut some corners to meet low price target.
The display, cameras, performance and materials all took a hit. But the excellent battery life and expandable storage help compensate at this price tier.
Tab E buyers just need to adjust expectations accordingly.
