The MWC19 is still days away, and Samsung is already
grabbing the headlines with a couple of announcements. While the Korean firm
made a splash yesterday with the unveiling of the affordable, thin, and
lightweight Galaxy Tab S5e, it also refreshed its Galaxy Tab A series with the
unveiling of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019 – a much more budget-friendly Android
tablet that is at the moment limited to the German market.
Much like the Galaxy Tab S5e, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1
2019 is encased in a metal casing, drops AMOLED panel for LCD display with
chunkier bezels and thicker profile. And as the name suggests, the Samsung
Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019 flaunts a 10.1-inch display with full-HD (1,920 x 1,200
pixels) resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, and is powered by the Exynos 7904 SoC.
The SoC works with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage which you can expand up to
400 GB via microSD.
On the bright side, the new Galaxy slate comes
fitted with a 6,150 mAh, smaller than
that of the Galaxy S5e, but that’s the price you pay for its affordability. The
device uses an 8-megapixel rear camera coupled with a 5-megapixel selfie camera
with face unlock feature. the device boots Android 9 Pie operating system right
out of the box, while it will hit the shelves in two variants – Wi-Fi only and
LTE.
