Samsung has officially unveiled its latest budget-friendly Android tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11.
Retaining the 8.7-inch screen size and design of its 2023 predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 introduces a 90Hz refresh rate LCD panel. While the resolution remains low at only 1,340 x 800 pixels (HD+), the higher refresh rate should help provide smoother scrolling and improve responsiveness during casual gaming or video playback.
The front-facing camera sees a decent leap from a 2-megapixel sensor on the A9 to 5 megapixels, making it more reliable for video calls and selfies. The rear camera features an 8-megapixel sensor with autofocus, as well as support for 1080p video recording at 30fps. For entertainment, it supports Dolby Atmos on its stereo speakers.
Powered by the aging MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, Samsung Galaxy the Tab A11 is good enough for everyday tasks like web browsing, streaming, and occasional casual gaming. There will be two configurations: 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage. Both variants include a microSD slot expandable up to 2TB.
A 5,100mAh battery supports the tablet, paired with 15W charging. Connectivity options include WiFi, 4G LTE, along with Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The LTE version also adds GPS functionality.
The tablet ships with Samsung’s One UI 7.0, based on Android 15. But despite being an entry-level device, Samsung has pledged seven (7) years of major Android updates and security patches, extending support through Android 22.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 starts at a price of 12,999 Indian rupees (~Php8,400) for the 4GB/64GB WiFi model. The LTE variant of the same configuration costs 15,999 rupees (~Php10,400). International pricing and release date are yet to be announced.
