Samsung has just announced a brand-new Android tablet for the masses. The new 2020 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.4 offers up LTE connectivity, solid battery life, and more all for an affordable price. The tablet is priced at $279 and comes with a discount for new users of the Samsung Kids app. The tablet comes with a couple of upgraded features compared to the predecessor model. The Galaxy Tab A 8.4 LTE (2020) is currently available for purchase in the USA.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.4 (2020) has an 8.4-inch AMOLED panel that provides 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution. The predecessor Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) had an 8-inch screen that offered a lower resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The Snapdragon 429 quad-core chipset powered the last year’s model. However, the 2020 edition arrives with Exynos 7904 SoC that includes a 1.8GHz octa-core processor. The SoC is coupled with up to 3 GB of RAM. Samsung rates the Galaxy Tab A 8.4’s 5,000mAh battery for up to 12 hours of video playback or 11 hours of internet use time on a single charge. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Tab A 8.4 (2020) appears to be shipping with Android 9 out of the box instead of the latest OS version. It features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.
