The aluminum build gives it durability and a premium feel. The 10.5” screen strikes a nice balance between portability and functionality for media, gaming, and productivity. Performance surprised us - the Tab A8 handles emulated games and multitasking decently. The quad speakers provide loud, full audio. Battery life also impressed, consistently getting 6-8 hours screen time even when gaming. The front camera works well for video calls. Downsides are slower system navigation, slower charging speeds, and a hit-or-miss rear camera. Lack of S Pen support may limit functionality for some. - Shane Symonds |

I was impressed by how durable the Galaxy Tab A8 was even after my child used it extensively. Its aluminum design looks and feels high-quality. The 10.5” screen strikes a nice balance between portability and screen size for activities like media, gaming, and productivity. Performance does fine with basics but can struggle when multitasking extensively. Still, it handled emulated games and some productivity work better than expected. The quad speakers deliver loud, immersive audio. - Android Digest |

The quad speakers sounded full and got very loud. Having four speakers also means you rarely block them all when holding the tablet. The 10.5" 1200p LCD screen was nice for watching videos and browsing, though brightness and contrast were just average. Downsides were the cameras, storage space on the base model, and somewhat slow performance switching between apps or multitasking. Still, for only $199 you get a solid tablet for entertainment and casual use. I'd mainly recommend the Tab A8 for kids or adults focused on streaming and web browsing over gaming and productivity needs. - My Tablet Guide |
