Samsung is ready to launch their Galaxy Tab A on Oct. 28, Friday. It is expected to be slightly larger than its predecessor and packaged with an S Pen similar to that of the Note 7.
The Galaxy Tab A will come equipped with a more powerful 3GB RAM, an Exynos 7870 octa-core processor and a WUXGA (1900 x 1200) display. Other features include a 16GB storage (expandable to 256GB), a whopping 7,300mAh battery, and 8MP (rear) and 2MP (front) cameras with LED flash, autofocus and 1080p video recording capability, according to Engadget.
Aside from the major tablet features, the Galaxy Tab A also features an LTE support and a battery that can last up to 14 hours of average use. It comes in black and white colors and will officially be out in the market starting this Friday.
The Galaxy Tab A has a lightweight design, which makes it easy to carry around. The S pen, which is considered to be its standouit feature, is ideal for users who would like to get creative and take advantage of pre-installed Samsung apps such as the Action Memo, Scrapbook and Notes.
The S Pen separates the Tab A from previous models. The pen is expected to be more precise and sleeker than ever, which will give users the best experience yet.
Meanwhile, a recall of the Note 7 was recently announced on Samsung's official website, asking all its partners to stop the sales and advising users to power down their phones immediately. The Note 7 came with an S Pen, which can now be enjoyed by Galaxy Tab A users.
Announced in May and already available for pre-order, the Galaxy Tab A will be sold at $349 and will come installed with 6.0 Marshmallow and not the latest version of Android. It is expected, however, that Samsung will give it an update and allow users to upgrade to Nougat in the future.
