Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 Unboxing & Hands On By My Next Tablet

Hey Anja here for my next Eric om today was an unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a 10.5 yeah I've got the Samsung Galaxy Tab a 10.5 in front of me. It is a new 10.5 angel and whatever that was announced together with the Galaxy Tab s 4. This is the lower and mid-range version of the Galaxy Tab. As for basically and yeah in this video, we want to unbox it. It's a quite interesting tablet, because it has quite a lot of features, and it also has two very interesting competitors, but let's get inside the box. First we've got a Quick Start Guide, you know warranty card and the Quick Start Guide in German, and then we've got micro, SD card ejector, your sim, eject or depending on the version that you have I got free, Wi-Fi version.

Then here we've got a USB type-c to standard USB cable here, so nothing special, but at least it's USB type-c, and then we've got a standard charger. Here. It's adapted fast charging, so the tablet apparently supports fast charging. Alright, then, let's get to the tablet immediately, and I will free it from this plastic thing here by the way, I paid three hundred twenty-nine euros so yeah it should cost similar in u. s.

dollars and everywhere else in the world. I'm, pretty sure that you will be able to get this all over Europe all over America, all over Asia and the Middle East I'm sure as well, so I'm, pretty much or countries that Samsung is selling to this will probably be available where in the future, if not already. Alright, this is the 10.5-inch tablet. So ten point five inch display and let's go around it a bit. We've got a five megapixel front facing camera, no infrared camera, or I was going to like we could on the Galaxy Tab.

As for that, one has an Iowa scanner that is not built into here and on. The bottom was a previous version with is the essential which is the Samsung Galaxy tab, a 10.1. I reviewed that already if you want to check this channel, but basically all previous Samsung tablets had three patents: physical buttons on the bottom. They are gone now like with the Galaxy Tab, as for they're gone, which also means that there's no fingerprint reader in the not yeah, not a parent home button, so nothing happened reader here on the back, we've got an 8 megapixel camera and an LED flashlight, and he's really Samsung logo. On the top.

Here, we've got 2 speakers and a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. On this side, we've got a pin, connector and that's properly for an optional keyboard cover or keyboard dock. Although I haven't seen any announcements, but there must be one in the making. Then we've got two other speakers on the bottom here so forth, because in total and USB type-c port and on this side we've got the micro SD card slot, and I'm sure, with the LTE version. There's a sim card slot as well, then we've got a power button volume rocker and that's pretty much it.

This is a plastic body, a plastic body, the Galaxy Tab s4 has a metal frame and the glass back, but this is just plastic. However, it does not feel that at all, and it feels relatively nice. It's a bit of a yeah kind of rubbery plastic, so it's not bad at all yeah. It doesn't feel cheap. However, at about the same price and in some countries at least a little less, you can get the Bob immediate at m5 light 10, which has a full metal body and very similar yeah, almost I, don't think a rapper, but we similar hardware at least four speakers as well.

Full HD display as well and another competitor is really noble, tap it in which I haven't seen before, but that one has very similar specs as well. So those three tablets are competing this year anyway, let's turn it on and check out the software and see performance of it. Alright, I am back I connected the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a 10.5 to my Wi-Fi and Google Account, a and I already installed benchmarks, and now we want to take a closer look at a couple of other features, starting with the camera cause when I set it up. There gave me the option to use face recognition, so there's no iris scanner built-in. However, you can use the camera apparently for facial recognition and let's try it here, and it works.

Obviously, I haven't tried it a lot yet because I just unboxed it. However, it does not seem to be as fast as the iris scanner in the Samsung Galaxy Tab s 4, but at least we've got facial recognition here so yeah. It's not that bad, that we don't get a fingerprint scanner, although I really like fingerprint scanners. Alright, let's take a look at the display. This is a ten point.

Five-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 16 by 10 and a full 8. She was illusion of 1920 by 1200 and there are always things that a full HD resolution on 10 inches is high enough. If you're holding it normally in front of you, then everything looks nice and sharp. But obviously, if you look very close, then you can see a bit of pixels and maybe something that's a super sharp, because what a smartphone has the way higher pixel density, but yeah again, if you were normally putting full HD on 10 inches, is fine and by the way viewing angles seem to be pretty good as well. The same goes for brightness I have not set it to maximum yet and the colors look nice too.

So it seems to be a pretty nice display and by the way it is laminated, which was not the case with the previous version. And then let's take a look inside the tablet itself, meaning the hardware inside one's a Qualcomm, Snapdragon 450 and that's an optical ship with a cost that are clocked at up to 1.8 gigahertz, and you can see here already. I ran Geek bench for and in a single code, Hayek at 750 points and in the medical test, 2800 points and with that in the single core test. It's a bit weaker when the Huawei media pad m 5y10, which, as I said, is that our competitor. However, it's a bit faster in the mighty core tests and in an tutu it gets 69 thousand points over 69 thousand points, which is a bit lower than the one we got at m5 like 10.

Again, however, I wasn't earning updates and so on. So in my final review, maybe it will be just a bit better. I have to run it again. However, there won't be huge differences, so maximum 10%, but it will be roughly like this so overall, especially wasn't true to see immediate at m5. Lighten will be a bit faster.

We also have 3 gigabytes of RAM inside and a 32 gigabyte, internal storage and I took a screenshot before inserting the updates and all of those 32 gigabyte, a 10.1 gigabyte free to use yeah. Whatever you want to do and that's it considering games players are no better groans. Mobile should run smoothly on here at lower settings and maybe even had like medium settings. If you set it to a balanced yeah that should run fine on here, I will try it for my final review, though, and now we want to take a closer look at the software, and that is one highlight of this tablet. It is running Android, 8.1, dot, zero oil, which is nice as well, but what's even nicer, is that in the past, Samsung has been quite good with updates much better than what we and Lenovo both of them are kind of terrible, as updates even for there but higher-end tablets. But Samsung has been pretty good.

The Galaxy Tab A Series, usually gets at least one, if not even two major version updates. That's based on the past. I can't promise anything because I don't know what Samsung is doing with this tablet, but based on the past, it will get one to two major version updates, which certainly is usually not the case, whereas who are we running over and if they released one than one and not two, and on top of Android here runs the Samsung experience your eye. It is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Tab s form it's heavily customized. However, it looks modern, and it does not look overloaded.

At least that's yeah, my taste. It does not look overloaded and there are some things that are better annoying like pigs, be home. I, don't think many people are needed, you can just use the Google Assistant or something and yeah a lot of things. Look a bit different like the settings are, they are heavily customized and yeah. You've got energy saving modes, two of them.

You can set it to medium and maximum. Furthermore, you can even change the layout of the history and what buttons here, but overall I, don't think it's too bad. Obviously there are quite some apps pre-installed, like the Microsoft apps. They are free. Anyway same goes for the Google apps, obviously say a free on Android, and then Samsung has a couple of their owns like an email at the girls they even and a kids' mode, so yeah.

It might be interesting for some by the way there see Samsung, Notes app and that one should work just like the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab s. For, however, I did try the Samsung S Pen on the end, and it does not work. Yeah, I'm always get asked recently. If a pen works on a tablet on this one, the galaxy yep, the S note pen does not work on the Galaxy Tab a 10.5 and just to confirm a teeny surface pen doesn't work mg, Huawei and pen light does not work either. So no stylus at least no no active pen for this tablet.

Another thing I want to show. You are Netflix, because I've gotten used to trying this on pretty much every tablet. First, you can obviously install Netflix from the Play Store. However, it seems like you're not able to play it in full HD. It only plays it at in 1960 and a hundred 60 by 540, so to play Netflix in HD.

The tablet has to support certain TM standards, and it seems like that is not the case right now. While we had the same problem with their media pad and 5-series, but they fixed it. Wasn't software update, so Samsung should be able to do the same, but out of the box. It does not seem to support full HD Netflix. Now it doesn't mean that it looks bad because if you hold it further away, and then you won't see that huge of a difference anyways but still that's just something to note, and if that will change, I will certainly mention it in my final review, but out of the box, it really does not seem to support a full HD resolution on Netflix by the way, if you want to test that with your tablet, you can just open the Netflix app and search for test patterns, and then there are certain test items you can try out if you like, and then you see the data like so resolution and so on and yeah what else? Not much, not much else not much has to say um I, quite like it so far, I really like the software personally I prefer to the emotion UI from Huawei, but that's probably just personal preference.

It just seems a bit more wanna anyway, no matter when you are watching this, you should always go to my next table calm and go to the best section, and there you see my current recommendations. It's updated once I release with you and yeah there. You can always see which tablets I'm currently recommending no matter when you're watching is, for example, the best Android tablets or the best tablets, with a stylus the best tablets with a keyboard and so on. I'm always listening, different twice classes from very cheap to very expensive and yeah I'm sure this one will be in there at some point. The previous version seemed to be quite popular, especially in Germany, and I'm sure elsewhere in the world, ? and I'm.

Sure Samsung is going to sell this for yeah, probably one, probably even two years I'm, usually the Galaxy Tab A Series gets sold for quite a while and then gets cheaper over time. Obviously so far, it seems to be quite nice. I like that. We have four speakers. Full HD screen.

Super quality is fine. It's plastic, mostly yeah, but it's fine and yeah. We get my software and hopefully up, so first impressions are pretty good. However, as I said, there's a lot of competition like the way we mediate at m5 like 10 and Cindy, Nova tab p10, which nobody has seen in person yet, but should soon, if you have any questions, write them down below and if I will show try out something, in particular for my final review, write it down below to maybe try a certain game or something and yeah. My man Jay for my next album thanks for watching.
