Are you in need of an Android tablet for basic media consumption ? Then Ulefone’s latest affordable tablet should meet your needs and budget. With the Tab A8, Ulefone introduces its second Tab series tablet and it looks great. It’s a pretty good entry-level device that offers good features such as a sleek metal construction, 10.1-inch full HD+ display, powerful speakers and long battery life. If you want a tablet for casual needs or light productivity tasks and don’t want to break the bank, the Ulefone Tab A8 is just the device to get. Here’s an overview of this new tablet.
Although the Ulefone Tab A8 is a budget
Android tablet, that doesn’t mean users have to compromise on materials or
build quality. This full-sized tablet features a slim metal body and relatively
small bezels around the screen. The touch of metal, coupled with the glossy
silver finish and flat edges, makes for a premium look and feel. At 7.35mm
thick, the Tab A8 is thin enough and fairly lightweight at just 483 grams.
There is a load of ports located around
the edges, including a USB C 2.0 charging port, a 3.5mm headphone jac and POGO pins for connecting the keyboard
cover. There’s also a slot for a SIM card and microSD memory card (up to 256GB
is supported) or four stereo speakers. You’ll also find a 5MP selfie camera,
that sits on the landscape edge, to ensure you look your best during business
or personal video calls. And a 13MP camera on the rear.
The Ulefone Tab A8 packs a gorgeous
10.1-inch Full HD (1920×1200 pixels) 60Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio for
a pixel density of 225 PPI. What’s more, it uses an IPS LCD panel, that
produces better colors and viewing angles. For a budget tablet this size, the
screen is sufficiently sharp, bright, and colorful. And it’s great for watching
videos and playing casual games. Even
better, the screen comes backed up by a quad-speaker sound system with two
symmetrical speakers on each side. The audio quality is solid with four stereo
speakers, that sound loud and clear. Therefore, whenever you watch on YouTube
and Netflix, you’ll have a great experience.
In terms of performance, the Ulefone Tab
A8 runs a 2.0GHz MediaTek MTK6762V/WB octa-core processor. It is paired with
the 650MHz PowerVR GE8320 GPU, 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage as standard.
Of course, the storage is expandable via microSD to save more photos, videos,
documents, or other files. As for the battery, there’s a 6580mAh
lithium-polymer battery inside, which should last around two days of light
usage. The Tab A8 comes with a pure version of Android 12, so users can get an
ad-free experience.
