Man, you've been stunningly good! Clear, HONEST, briefly, organised & schematic, precise, trustful, and also quite modest in your exposing. THIS IS A REVIEW, period. And it's so helpful for purchases advices... I'm Italian, in Italy, and yesterday I've ordered my A8 64GB, and I'm so looking forward to test it... to experience it, and enjoy it. I've never got a tablet before. So, very nice step up! Ps: I like the forms of the A8, it's so "boxy", and the edges are pretty finer than the A7's ones. But indeed there isn't very stepping up from one another... it is much of a "refreshing" of the market segment for Samsung, not a real upgrade. (So bad policy...) Hope it will last long!! And shall I be satisfied with that, instead of tablet that cost 3 or 10 times more... it is a perfect 80/20 for me. You got my point upon this? Do you agree? I think most people should verge toward this mindset and tech, as for many other things in life xD Plus, I've paid it 200 €, that is the REAL same price of the 32gb version, but for discount here! The stepping up in price between the two, however, was also VERY small, not thus to justify and prompt to chose the 3gbRAM version. In my opinion, moving from the fact that it is even expandable via mixrosd till 1tb (infinitely!), it is NO SENSE to crave for the 128gb... NOR the LTE version, that cost more. People just use the phone for it... doesn't it? I hope I'll be as long satisfied from the above mentioned 80/20 ratio of performances!!!!

I love my A8. I can do some light MS Office (word/excel) work done, multitasking, streaming, answering emails, and all my other daily on the go productivity needs with it. It certainly serves its purpose when I want to carry a lite alternative to my laptop. Gets what I need done!
Just got grey 128/4 LTE varriant for only $280 here in Indonesia. So far loving it. It runs smoothly for my day-to-day usage. Media consumption is good for a budget tablet and light gaming runs well.

If you're looking for Stylus (pens), the Adonit Dash3 worked/s really well on my old a10 2016 and current a10 2019. And I could imagine it will work well on the a8 as well.

Hey, im from Germany and got my A7 that im watching this on right now on an Black friday sale for 149€ so ~167$ from Mediamarkt. The A8 currently sits at 209.99€ so around 235$
You said you would put a link to the keyboard cover you recommend, but I'm not seeing it. Can you please tell me what it is? Thanks. Appreciated your comparison!
Hey so when i bought a samsung s9, after a few years of using it it really slowed down. The touchscreen response was kind of laggy, apps opened up much slower, etc. However, with iPhones, that issue never occurred. Will that also be the case with samsung tablets vs iPads? Im deciding between getting a new iPad vs a S7 tab. Please LMK. Thank you
You can move many app installs to the SD card, but not all, esp. not the ones that come pre-installed (which were a massive space drain on the 16GB tab A6). I'm still on the A6, and with every install from Google Play, I go into the settings and check that app to see if it can be moved to the SD card, and immediately move the install there. This should be doable on A7 and A8 as well. It's hit and miss on which apps will allow this though. The emulators I use all are installed on the SD card.
I'm on the Tab A smt580 from 2015 and still a great device. Struggling to find a reason to upgrade. Clear it out regularly and as you say move what you can to sd.
Yeah you're right, I am surprised how many people think you can't move the apps to an SD though, where did this rumor start??? I can confirm that apps are movable to SD on the A8.
Hi i have the samsung tab a 10.5 2018 i really love the tablet its been great over the years but i noticed its getting slow and its loosing out on updates and i was looking to upgrade to the samsung tab a8 and i was wondering if its worth the upgrade thanks
I have the A7 and it did get the option of moving apps to the SD card in some software update. Doesn't work for that many but it still helps a bit with only 32 gigs of internal storage.
You can go to delevolper options and activate the "force apps on external" and that is going to make more apps have the option with moving on card (im using the function already and every app works fine with the option on)
Greetings from Taiwan! Thanks for sharing all these comprehensive reviews, much appreciated! As for the price, Both LTE versions (32GB) costs NT$9,900; whereas the Wi-Fi version (32GB) costs NT$ 6,990; HOWEVER,,,, the Wi-Fi version (64GB) of Tab A7 costs NT$8,490, well the Tab A8 costs at a cheaper price NT$7,990 instead.
I'm from Australia the A8 64gb is $380.00 and the A8 128gb is $450.00 the s series start at $1,100.00 and $2,200.00 for the ultra .... I'm interested in the A8 128gb as a video editing tool which is mainly 4k go pro footage would you recommend it for that specific job cheers well presented content
I just bought my very first tablet A8 from Argos I am in the UK. Primarily for TH-cam and Zoom meetings. I paid 189.00 pounds 2 weeks ago and now its 219.00. Personally because I have Huawei phone I considered Huawei MatePad T5 for the processor and speakers but went for this one as Huawei wasn't in stock at the time. I am thinking should I keep it or return it being that I'm not really impressed with pixels and sound quality. Also Huawei is cheaper and better specs??? Just found your channel as I looked for reviews, thanks for your work, appreciate it.
In the Netherlands the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 64GB Wifi is now for sale at 219 euros (which is currently almost the same as dollars, so $220). Thanks for the video!
The MSRP can be the same, but the market price are very different. I got the 64GB A7 for $179 a few months ago at Costco in the US. The 32GB version was $139.
In India the A7 64 GB is available for 15000 INR and A8 64 GB is 20000 INR. So I bought a A7 G4 GB last week as I mostly use it for general purpose browsing and study activities. Also, I am using a disk stylus along with A7 which works great!
The tab a7 is between 250 and 300 were I live and the tab a8 is 230 and 280. I want the tab a8. Rn I got a amazon fire hd 10 2019 is it worth the upgrade?
I am new to Samsung tablets. I bought an A8 and a folio case that puts the tablet to sleep, but it isn't really sleep, is it? The display is shut down, but the tablet still runs. The user manual under help does not mention the auto sleep wake feature at all.
Very helpful video thanks. Seems clearly to be the case that faced with an equally priced A7 and A8, you should for the A8:- certainly for the 64GB model (3 v 4 GB RAM). However, once you find a decent discount on the A7 it’s more difficult to justify paying a “premium” for the A8. I have subscribed.
If I'm mostly going to be using the tablet for media consumption like tv/movies/netflix, do you think the screen on the tab S7 FE is good enough to justify the $200 price difference between itself and the A8?
In Dubai… The A7 is short of stock and priced higher (min $50) than A8. The A8 32GB comes with 26GB of its own software. Not many takers for A8. I liked the positioning of the camera in A7 as it was good for online school.
Is the maximum zize for the Tab A8 microSD card 128GB or iTB? From what I read, the A8 storage was dramatically downsized from 1TB to 128GB. Is this true?
Very nice and thorough review. I'm trying to decide between the fire hd 10 plus and the A8 as a b'day present for my wife. They both seem good. I think the 32gb model of the A8 has only 3gb RAM. Will that be a problem? My wife will only use it for Netflix and web browsing
Here in India, the Tab A7 64 GB is 15500-16000 and the Tab A8 64 GB is 20000. Both are the Wi-Fi variants. But when I got the Tab A7 64 GB Wi-Fi variant in August, it was 18000.
Hi there my name is Nicolaz Lona.I live in the US. I have the 64gb version of the samsung galaxy tab a7.I saw your video comparison between the samsung galaxy tab a7 and the samsung galaxy tab a8. I would be interested if you could include these in your battery drain test
Thank you, I was hesitant between the two devices and now I can make the right and appropriate decision for me. It's the best review I've seen between this two devices.
I can tell you I've had the 64gb A8 for almost a year now and it has been fantastic in every way for day to day web browsing, streaming and occasional gaming. If you are considering getting one make sure you get at least the 64gb as if you get the 32gb just the operating system takes up almost ⅔ of the storage. I don't even understand why they make such a low storage model when so much of it is already used up out of the box.
Reading some of the comments and from what you stated, I'm feeling I did something wrong, lol. I just purchased the A8 with 128GB for roughly 250$. I'm in US East. Hope I didn't get scammed even though I bought from a legit department store.
@techgeartalk: I have had the a7 for 3 years and have been fighting with the warranty supplier about the screen cracking on the inside. Well I now have a yellow light seeping out across the screen. I thought about getting the s6 or s7 but really didn't want to spend alot. I'm hoping the same issue doesn't happen on the A8 but haven't opened it yet to ensure it's what I want ( I got a great price of $239.99 cad & paid$259.99cad for the a7 when I got it 3 years ago). I've also read reviews that the a8 drops the wifi regularly. What type of things does the dual core process use as opposed to single core? Have you received any further info since this review on the a8? I also found the S6 lite w/64 gb at $199.99 cad. What do you think is the best option? I know i need at least 64gb & want something dependable. Any help you can provide would be appreciated
Hey Idk what's your name, you didn't really mention that in your videos. I am from india and I love your videos very much and I like the fact how you say " for how I use" because it makes sense that it is only for users like you not for everyone else. I like the tab a7 rather than the tab a8 In india the pricing is like this $249 (₹17,999) for Galaxy Tab A8 And for Galaxy Tab A7 It is $209(15,599) Please make more comparisons like this for Samsung and apple devices like the upcoming S22 series as well
Thank you for the support and feedback! That pricing makes more sense! I will definitely be making more videos comparing samsung/apple. Thank you for watching, Sagi
I bought the A7 Lite but could return it for the A8 as I probably would like a bigger screen and don't mind paying the extra few dollars. What do you think about this.
I'm a musician so I use my tablets for my music and a great music program that's only for Android/PC. The heck with buying a new tablet, I'll stick with my older tabs. I figure: if it ain't broke, why fix it? I'm still have 2 way older Tabs (I think Tab 3 and 2....can't remember). They work just fine. What I'm waiting for is a BIGGER Galaxy! They keep talking about but I haven't seen it. It's myth. Why do they keep putzing around with another 10 inch Tab?? If they went to a 12 or 13 inch then they could rightly compete with the big iPad. I hate Apple products. So I would love to Samsung come out with a BIGGER tablet. Thank you so much for your hard work, Ziggy!
Hi, i'm thinking in buying de A8. It its mostly for watching movies, netflix and TH-cam, probably games but not does types of games that you showed, normally with lesser graphics. Do you think its a good tablet for that? I'm thinking of buying the 64GB, hope it is enough!
@@TechGearTalk thank you so much for your Quick answer and your help. I'm from Portugal, and the A8 64GB costs 279,99€ (317 US dollar) and the A7 64GB costs 315,12€ (356,81 US dollar). I just notice the price difference now....
I'm from Brazil. The price here to A8 is near to $330, cause I bought in a promotion. Tab S6 lite is being selled to $500 and it's a fever here for students. I don't know about you, but I think it's very expensive for a lite.
Which is the cheapest Samsung tab that I can use as a second screen for my laptop, I know the s7 can but wondering what else can... maybe the A7/8 or even s6 update ?
Hey I'm a student I have a laptop but the keyboard doesn't work and I'm looking for something cheaper,more portable and touch screen idk which I should buy
I'm from the UK and have both tablets. The A7 is still very decent but the A8 is certainly better. I got the 64gb version with 4gb of Ram and the extra gig of ram makes a difference. I paid £179.99 and think it's an excellent media consumption tablet. You can still buy the A7 but it's only a fracton cheaper so the Tab A8 is the one to go for.
Hi Mark, I just left a comment today at top and then saw yours. I bought A8 189 quid and now it is 219. Its my first tablet and I wondered what your views on Huawei MatePad T5 as I have Huawei phone and processor, speakers, pixels better. I don't game so its TH-cam and other stuff got it for. I'm not that impressed with it, don't know wether to return it.
@@Sojourninggrace I believe that's quite an old tablet now and running an older version of Android. It only has 2GB of ram also I believe which means it might be quite slow. Can I ask what you don't like about the A8? 👍
@@Sojourninggrace The only decent alternative to your A8 at this price point is the Nokia T20 which is currently £179.99 at Argos saving £20. That only came out at the end of last year and will be supported with 3 years more of updates. It has 1GB of extra ram over the A8 so will be a bit faster. I'd not buy the Huawei T5 as it came out 4 years ago and is running an old version of Android.
im from indonesia and they do cost very similar/identical. the thing is you cant really find the a7 online anymore even the stock in samsung website is always gone, probably samsung plan on replacing it wth a8 instead
As an owner of an A8, we are still waiting for Android 12 on October 1st! My advice is to save your money and get an Apple iPad. Performance is higher with the A13 spanking the Unisoc in the A8 or the Snapdragon in the A7. You can use the Apple Pencil (first gen). Better, more apps than Android has. Better vetting of apps as well. Plus WAY more aftermarket gear like cases, styli, etc. Why would any company release a tablet with an out of date OS is beyond me. Then, make us wait for 9 months and still not have it! Selling the 32GB version is a joke. NO device should only have 32GB in this day and age! And Samsung is crippling ALL of their devices by not allowing offloading of apps onto SD cards. A1 or A2 SD cards are plenty fast enough nowadays. Get with the times Samsung! This is my first and last Samsung tablet. My next will be an iPad.
I'm from india looking g to purchase samsung tablet because I use samsung phone and I'm addicted to samsung ecosystem of convenient apps and software. Here samsuns tab a8 costs around 20000 ₹ for wifi+LTE and 18000 ₹ for tab A7
in Singapore. there is a online platform to purchase an export set from Korea at $219 Singapore dollars, which amount to about $153 USD for the LTE version 64GB size
I don’t know…about two years ago my neighbor had asked me to ‘fix’ his old low-end Samsung tablet he bought around 2016-2018. I tried and failed. I checked the operating system and it turned out to be the newest one available, and there was nothing wrong hardware wise. It was just unusable, failed on tasks as simple as browsing websites or watch stream videos. All apps did was open-froze-crash-and-repeat, meanwhile my old iPad 2 is still somewhat useable today. I just won’t suggest anyone buy a low-end tablet from Samsung. Two to four years of usable time for minimum tasks is way too short no matter how cheap the tablet is.
i'm from the Philippines and i can't afford both. i just enjoyed watching your videos, that's all. :)

Great review
Hi Sagi
You’re videos are great as always…You’ll reach 1M soon
Thank you so much 😀
In India, an A8 costs around $200 for the 3+32 and WiFi only option while the A7 is around $185 with the same specs
25$ isnt that much of a difference, HERE THE DIFF is 83 euros/$
What is that plastic-looking sheet he uses for seeing the speakers hidden under the case? That looks so cool.
in Turkey
A7 price is 2399 TL
A8 price is 2499 TL (2000-2100 TL it was on sale for students but after a few days the sale ends )
I appreciate you sharing!
You can move your apps from store internal storage to an SD card and I got the 4 GB 64 GB for $220 and I think that's a decent deal
Thanks for the video..
How many android update will Tab A8 get?
I believe 2 (I'd have to double check)
Does the tab A8 use 10 gig for the Operating System ? So your 32 gig goes down to 22 gig from the outset?
Hey so when i bought a samsung s9, after a few years of using it it really slowed down. The touchscreen response was kind of laggy, apps opened up much slower, etc. However, with iPhones, that issue never occurred. Will that also be the case with samsung tablets vs iPads? Im deciding between getting a new iPad vs a S7 tab. Please LMK. Thank you
tnx for the video.!
You can move many app installs to the SD card, but not all, esp. not the ones that come pre-installed (which were a massive space drain on the 16GB tab A6).
I'm still on the A6, and with every install from Google Play, I go into the settings and check that app to see if it can be moved to the SD card, and immediately move the install there.
This should be doable on A7 and A8 as well. It's hit and miss on which apps will allow this though. The emulators I use all are installed on the SD card.
I'm on the Tab A smt580 from 2015 and still a great device. Struggling to find a reason to upgrade. Clear it out regularly and as you say move what you can to sd.
You can on the A8 as well
Yeah you're right, I am surprised how many people think you can't move the apps to an SD though, where did this rumor start??? I can confirm that apps are movable to SD on the A8.
Here in Australia, we only have the 32GB version of the A7, with the 128GB version not being all too much more at the moment.
Hi i have the samsung tab a 10.5 2018 i really love the tablet its been great over the years but i noticed its getting slow and its loosing out on updates and i was looking to upgrade to the samsung tab a8 and i was wondering if its worth the upgrade thanks
I have the A7 and it did get the option of moving apps to the SD card in some software update. Doesn't work for that many but it still helps a bit with only 32 gigs of internal storage.
You can go to delevolper options and activate the "force apps on external" and that is going to make more apps have the option with moving on card (im using the function already and every app works fine with the option on)
32gigs is really weak for 2020+

Greetings from Taiwan! Thanks for sharing all these comprehensive reviews, much appreciated! As for the price, Both LTE versions (32GB) costs NT$9,900; whereas the Wi-Fi version (32GB) costs NT$ 6,990; HOWEVER,,,, the Wi-Fi version (64GB) of Tab A7 costs NT$8,490, well the Tab A8 costs at a cheaper price NT$7,990 instead.
I'm from Australia the A8 64gb is $380.00 and the A8 128gb is $450.00 the s series start at $1,100.00 and $2,200.00 for the ultra .... I'm interested in the A8 128gb as a video editing tool which is mainly 4k go pro footage would you recommend it for that specific job cheers well presented content

Now, after watching this video I am definitely going to buy the A7. Thanks for the comparison video it helped me a lot.
In Indonesia, these tablets cost similarly, 4.5 million IDR (roughly 313 USD).
P.S.: The LTE 4/128GB variant for both.

I just bought my very first tablet A8 from Argos I am in the UK. Primarily for TH-cam and Zoom meetings. I paid 189.00 pounds 2 weeks ago and now its 219.00. Personally because I have Huawei phone I considered Huawei MatePad T5 for the processor and speakers but went for this one as Huawei wasn't in stock at the time. I am thinking should I keep it or return it being that I'm not really impressed with pixels and sound quality. Also Huawei is cheaper and better specs???
Just found your channel as I looked for reviews, thanks for your work, appreciate it.
In the Netherlands the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 64GB Wifi is now for sale at 219 euros (which is currently almost the same as dollars, so $220). Thanks for the video!
The MSRP can be the same, but the market price are very different. I got the 64GB A7 for $179 a few months ago at Costco in the US. The 32GB version was $139.
In India the A7 64 GB is available for 15000 INR and A8 64 GB is 20000 INR. So I bought a A7 G4 GB last week as I mostly use it for general purpose browsing and study activities. Also, I am using a disk stylus along with A7 which works great!
What is name of the disk stylus?

The tab a7 is between 250 and 300 were I live and the tab a8 is 230 and 280. I want the tab a8. Rn I got a amazon fire hd 10 2019 is it worth the upgrade?
I am new to Samsung tablets. I bought an A8 and a folio case that puts the tablet to sleep, but it isn't really sleep, is it? The display is shut down, but the tablet still runs. The user manual under help does not mention the auto sleep wake feature at all.
Seems like my fellow filipinos like how you make your content. Good job 👍
Very helpful video thanks. Seems clearly to be the case that faced with an equally priced A7 and A8, you should for the A8:- certainly for the 64GB model (3 v 4 GB RAM). However, once you find a decent discount on the A7 it’s more difficult to justify paying a “premium” for the A8. I have subscribed.
If I'm mostly going to be using the tablet for media consumption like tv/movies/netflix, do you think the screen on the tab S7 FE is good enough to justify the $200 price difference between itself and the A8?
In Dubai… The A7 is short of stock and priced higher (min $50) than A8. The A8 32GB comes with 26GB of its own software. Not many takers for A8. I liked the positioning of the camera in A7 as it was good for online school.
Can you connect 2 Bluetooth headphones on the A8 at the same time. On a phone s22 it's referred to as dual media / dual audio?
At 3:58, what is that? The thing you looking at the audio
Is the maximum zize for the Tab A8 microSD card 128GB or iTB? From what I read, the A8 storage was dramatically downsized from 1TB to 128GB. Is this true?
I have been using my a8 for 4 months, i absolutely love it
Where is the link to the keyboard you prefer?
Very nice and thorough review. I'm trying to decide between the fire hd 10 plus and the A8 as a b'day present for my wife. They both seem good. I think the 32gb model of the A8 has only 3gb RAM. Will that be a problem? My wife will only use it for Netflix and web browsing
Excellent as usual
Thanks so much Joseph!

Here in India, the Tab A7 64 GB is 15500-16000 and the Tab A8 64 GB is 20000. Both are the Wi-Fi variants. But when I got the Tab A7 64 GB Wi-Fi variant in August, it was 18000.
Nice!
Hi there my name is Nicolaz Lona.I live in the US. I have the 64gb version of the samsung galaxy tab a7.I saw your video comparison between the samsung galaxy tab a7 and the samsung galaxy tab a8. I would be interested if you could include these in your battery drain test
Thank you, I was hesitant between the two devices and now I can make the right and appropriate decision for me. It's the best review I've seen between this two devices.
I can tell you I've had the 64gb A8 for almost a year now and it has been fantastic in every way for day to day web browsing, streaming and occasional gaming. If you are considering getting one make sure you get at least the 64gb as if you get the 32gb just the operating system takes up almost ⅔ of the storage. I don't even understand why they make such a low storage model when so much of it is already used up out of the box.
Reading some of the comments and from what you stated, I'm feeling I did something wrong, lol. I just purchased the A8 with 128GB for roughly 250$. I'm in US East. Hope I didn't get scammed even though I bought from a legit department store.
@techgeartalk: I have had the a7 for 3 years and have been fighting with the warranty supplier about the screen cracking on the inside. Well I now have a yellow light seeping out across the screen. I thought about getting the s6 or s7 but really didn't want to spend alot. I'm hoping the same issue doesn't happen on the A8 but haven't opened it yet to ensure it's what I want ( I got a great price of $239.99 cad & paid$259.99cad for the a7 when I got it 3 years ago). I've also read reviews that the a8 drops the wifi regularly. What type of things does the dual core process use as opposed to single core? Have you received any further info since this review on the a8? I also found the S6 lite w/64 gb at $199.99 cad. What do you think is the best option? I know i need at least 64gb & want something dependable. Any help you can provide would be appreciated
Hey Idk what's your name, you didn't really mention that in your videos. I am from india and I love your videos very much and I like the fact how you say " for how I use" because it makes sense that it is only for users like you not for everyone else. I like the tab a7 rather than the tab a8
In india the pricing is like this
$249 (₹17,999) for Galaxy Tab A8
And for Galaxy Tab A7 It is $209(15,599)
Please make more comparisons like this for Samsung and apple devices like the upcoming S22 series as well
Thank you for the support and feedback! That pricing makes more sense!
I will definitely be making more videos comparing samsung/apple.
Thank you for watching,
Sagi
I bought the A7 Lite but could return it for the A8 as I probably would like a bigger screen and don't mind paying the extra few dollars. What do you think about this.
I would like to know which one is best for video editing?
What mouse would you recommend to go with the Logitech K 480 keyboard
I'm a musician so I use my tablets for my music and a great music program that's only for Android/PC.
The heck with buying a new tablet, I'll stick with my older tabs. I figure: if it ain't broke, why fix it? I'm still have 2 way older Tabs (I think Tab 3 and 2....can't remember). They work just fine.
What I'm waiting for is a BIGGER Galaxy! They keep talking about but I haven't seen it. It's myth. Why do they keep putzing around with another 10 inch Tab?? If they went to a 12 or 13 inch then they could rightly compete with the big iPad. I hate Apple products. So I would love to Samsung come out with a BIGGER tablet.
Thank you so much for your hard work, Ziggy!
Smart move - don't spend money unless you need to 👏
Thank you for the support!
There are bigger tablets of 12.4 inch size as well. S7FE and S7+ and S8 series is coming in 2nd week of Feb
What music program do you use?
S8 ultra is 14.6 inches
I'm also a musician (keyboardist)...Agree 100%...Samsung needs to have a screen size model the same as an iPad Pro...been waiting for one for ages
Hi, i'm thinking in buying de A8. It its mostly for watching movies, netflix and TH-cam, probably games but not does types of games that you showed, normally with lesser graphics.
Do you think its a good tablet for that?
I'm thinking of buying the 64GB, hope it is enough!
It will definitely be enough for that, Ana. Hope that helps.

Can you connect a external monitor to either?
I loved the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from like 9 years ago. Looking for something to read Kindle on from time to time when I go to the coffee shop. Any help?
I'm from Brazil. The price here to A8 is near to $330, cause I bought in a promotion. Tab S6 lite is being selled to $500 and it's a fever here for students. I don't know about you, but I think it's very expensive for a lite.

Hey man from India 🇮🇳 and happily using a7 bought in late 2020
Did this A8 model come with Dex?
Which is the cheapest Samsung tab that I can use as a second screen for my laptop, I know the s7 can but wondering what else can... maybe the A7/8 or even s6 update ?
Hey I'm a student I have a laptop but the keyboard doesn't work and I'm looking for something cheaper,more portable and touch screen idk which I should buy
I'm from the UK and have both tablets. The A7 is still very decent but the A8 is certainly better. I got the 64gb version with 4gb of Ram and the extra gig of ram makes a difference. I paid £179.99 and think it's an excellent media consumption tablet. You can still buy the A7 but it's only a fracton cheaper so the Tab A8 is the one to go for.
so should i go for the A8 instead of A7 ?

Hi Mark, I just left a comment today at top and then saw yours. I bought A8 189 quid and now it is 219. Its my first tablet and I wondered what your views on Huawei MatePad T5 as I have Huawei phone and processor, speakers, pixels better. I don't game so its TH-cam and other stuff got it for. I'm not that impressed with it, don't know wether to return it.
@@Sojourninggrace I believe that's quite an old tablet now and running an older version of Android. It only has 2GB of ram also I believe which means it might be quite slow. Can I ask what you don't like about the A8? 👍
@@Sojourninggrace The only decent alternative to your A8 at this price point is the Nokia T20 which is currently £179.99 at Argos saving £20. That only came out at the end of last year and will be supported with 3 years more of updates. It has 1GB of extra ram over the A8 so will be a bit faster.
I'd not buy the Huawei T5 as it came out 4 years ago and is running an old version of Android.

As an owner of an A8, we are still waiting for Android 12 on October 1st! My advice is to save your money and get an Apple iPad. Performance is higher with the A13 spanking the Unisoc in the A8 or the Snapdragon in the A7. You can use the Apple Pencil (first gen). Better, more apps than Android has. Better vetting of apps as well. Plus WAY more aftermarket gear like cases, styli, etc. Why would any company release a tablet with an out of date OS is beyond me. Then, make us wait for 9 months and still not have it! Selling the 32GB version is a joke. NO device should only have 32GB in this day and age! And Samsung is crippling ALL of their devices by not allowing offloading of apps onto SD cards. A1 or A2 SD cards are plenty fast enough nowadays. Get with the times Samsung!
This is my first and last Samsung tablet. My next will be an iPad.
I'm from india looking g to purchase samsung tablet because I use samsung phone and I'm addicted to samsung ecosystem of convenient apps and software. Here samsuns tab a8 costs around 20000 ₹ for wifi+LTE and 18000 ₹ for tab A7

I bought a Tab A7 lite a few months ago, wanna upgrade to the Tab A8, I am glad it still has a headphone jack.
I don’t know…about two years ago my neighbor had asked me to ‘fix’ his old low-end Samsung tablet he bought around 2016-2018. I tried and failed. I checked the operating system and it turned out to be the newest one available, and there was nothing wrong hardware wise. It was just unusable, failed on tasks as simple as browsing websites or watch stream videos. All apps did was open-froze-crash-and-repeat, meanwhile my old iPad 2 is still somewhat useable today. I just won’t suggest anyone buy a low-end tablet from Samsung. Two to four years of usable time for minimum tasks is way too short no matter how cheap the tablet is.
