Samsung’s new entry-level tablet models will be available from the end of December and start at 179 euros including VAT.

If you are looking for a functional tablet but don’t want to pay the full price for it, you can choose the Samsung Galaxy Tab A series. The latest generation comes in two screen sizes: 8.7 inches and 11 inches, the latter with a refresh rate of 90 Hz.

The smallest model, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9, is available with Wi-Fi or LTE. You can configure the larger Tab A9+ with WiFi or 5G. Both have the same 8-megapixel rear camera. The larger of the two has a better selfie camera on the front (5MP vs. 2MP).

If you want the sharpest image, it’s better to go for the larger model (1,200 x 1,920 pixels). The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 only has a limited resolution of 800 x 1,340 pixels. Charging is possible with a maximum of 15 watts. Samsung does not include a charger in the packaging.

The Tab A9+ with its four speakers is the best model for media consumption. The smaller A9 has two on board.

Both models come with 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM as standard. If you want more, you can also opt for the alternative with 128 GB of storage and 6 GB of RAM. Both tablets offer space for a microSD card up to 1TB.

The Tab A9 series will be available at the end of December. The basic model (WLAN) of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 is available from 179 euros. LTE connectivity costs 40 euros more. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is available from 249 euros for the WiFi model. The 5G option costs 50 euros more. All prices include VAT.
