Samsung has officially introduced its the new Galaxy Tab A9 series of tablets. They are aimed at the entry/mid range and will replace the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, which is two years old and showing the passage of time. And it is a highly competitive, competent and economical series, as we saw in the HONOR Pad X9 announcement. Not to mention Amazon Fire.

Samsung follows the same strategy on tablets as it does on smartphones. The “S” series for high-end devices that are able to compete with Apple’s iPads and Windows 2-in-1 devices without complexities, and the “A” series, which concerns us and is intended for tighter budgets, as announced by TM Roh, President and Director of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics:

“We want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the latest innovations in tablet technology… The latest launch of the Galaxy Tab A series makes it easier than ever for everyone to enjoy great entertainment and productive multitasking across the entire Galaxy ecosystem”.
