Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5″

The most notable new release today is Samsung’s new mid-range tablet. Taking some cues from the Galaxy Tab S4, the Tab A 10.5″ packs a huge 10.5-inch display with relatively slim bezels all around. That 16:10 display is a 1920×1200 LCD panel, and to further improve entertainment, it packs four speakers around the body. This tablet also has a large 7,300 mAh battery, Android 8.1 Oreo, and tons of built-in Samsung features. Pricing lands at $329.99.

Whether the family is hanging out in the kitchen, lounging on the couch or staying entertained on a road trip, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5” will be a hit for the whole household. The new tablet puts cinema in your hands with its 16:10 screen ratio and Quad Speakers enhanced by Dolby Atmos® immersive sound technology. Galaxy Tab A 10.5” also lets you control your smart home devices through SmartThings, and set limits on your child’s screen time with Samsung Kids. The Samsung Kids service offers curated, high-quality, fun learning games, books, and videos for kids ages 3-12 years old. Try Samsung Kids free for 30 days[4] and enjoy programming from publishers such as LEGO, Toca Boca and Sesame Workshop.
