Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) tablet that was launched in March in South Korea comes with a 7-inch display with a resolution of 800 pixels by 1280 pixels. For a mid-range tablet, its features are more than commensurate with its retail price.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) is powered by 1.3GHz quad-core and it comes with 1.5GB of RAM. The tablet packs 8GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 200GB via a microSD card.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) packs a 5-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 2-megapixel front shooter for selfies.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box and is powered by a 4000mAh non-removable battery. It measures 186.90 x 108.80 x 8.70 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 283.00 grams. It is likely that it shall be readily upgradeable to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow or the Android 7.0 Nougat.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. The various sensors on the tablet include a proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, accelerometer, and gyroscope.
Despite its flagship features, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) shall retain its mid-range lineup category because of its design and specifications, and most importantly its price, which is quite similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A launched in April last year.
