Just the day after Samsung started taking orders for the high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 tablets, Samsung expectedly unveiled their interesting new mid-range Android tablet with the new model name Samsung Galaxy Tab A7: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Tablet-10-4-Wi-Fi-32GB

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 is a 10.4-inch tablet that’s launched with Android 10 + One UI 2.5, and it’s a kind of general purpose mid-range tablet that’s not supposed to cost too much, while still providing users with a satisfying experience in this tablet range. Specs like 4 speakers makes sure of that.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 has a 10.4-inch screen with the same 2000 x 1200 Full HD display resolution that was introduced on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. But where the more powerful Tab S6 Lite is leans a little more towards productivity, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 leans a little more towards entertainment instead.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 is equipped with the octa-core 2.0 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and 32GB and 64GB storage options. The microSD card slot supports memory cards up to a staggering 1TB though, so you can take a lot of files with you.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 is offered as both a Wi-Fi model (SM-T500) and as both unlocked and locked Wi-Fi + 4G LTE models (SM-T505 and SM-T507), weighing 476 grams and 477 grams respectively. The thickness is just 7mm, which is pretty good.

Further Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 specifications includes a 5MP front camera, an 8MP rear camera with 1920 x 1080 Full HD recording, quad speakers featuring Dolby Atmos, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB C port (USB 2.0), and a 3.5mm audio combo jack.

The average Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 battery life is 14 hours long from a 7040 mAh battery.
