Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T290 Review: How Good Is It? By My Next Tablet

The Samsung Galaxy Tab, an 8.0 2019 is the newest entry level tablet from Samsung starting at $150. It offers an 8-inch, HD screen a Snapdragon founder 29 processors and Android 9 pi, but is it as good as the other tablets of this lineup and NJ? For my next tablet? Calm and that's what you will learn in this review? Let's get some confusion out of the way. First Samsung will release two eight-inch, Galaxy Tab A tablet this year. The first one is pricier. It has an S, Pen and I reviewed that one a couple of months ago, this review gets of the cheaper one called SMT 290 and SMT 295, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, an 8.0 2019 looks like a classical Samsung tablet. You can get it in black and gray.

I've got the lighter one which has a wider bezel around the screen. There are no physical buttons underneath the screen anymore and no there's no fingerprint scanner either. While we get a metal back, the frame of the tablet is made of plastic. I would prefer for metal body, but well. The belt quality is good enough.

You can't bend it, and it seems well-made, but because of the plastic frame, it does not feel as high-end as an iPad Mini. Do we get a power button and volume controls on the right side and on the left side, there's room for a micro SD card that can be up to 512 gigabytes in size on the top there's a standard, headphone jack, and you can charge it using a micro USB port on the bottom? Yes, no USB see here next to that micro, USB port are two stereo speakers considering its price, so some quality is not bad at all pretty decent. Actually, however, because both speakers are placed on the same side, you won't hear any real stereo separation when watching movies. There's an 8 megapixel camera on the back and the selfie shooter has a resolution of true megapixels again for this price. Both cameras are good enough, but you are pretty much every smartphone text by the photos.

Still they're usable for occasional snapshots, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, an 8.0 features an 8-inch screen. It seems to be an IPS panel, but I'm not super sure, because Samsung doesn't specify it anymore. Well, it's important to know that viewing angles are white enough. For most, it has a 16 by 10 aspect ratio and an HD resolution was 1280 by 800 pixels I, like that the screen is eliminated, so you won't see a distracting air gap on Anita touch screen with 8 inches place. I always think that an HD resolution is all right.

Sure, a full HD display would have been better and pretty much. Every phone has a higher pixel density, but there as long as you don't press it against your nose. It's sharp enough. Remember it's a cheap tablet. Color reproduction is alright, and it's bright enough to use inside and outside in the shadows.

However, the screen is too dark to us in direct sunlight. You will see too many reflections, but I've been able to use it comfortably on a train when sitting next to a prior to window, for example, and no this one does not support an active 10 and yes, I tried the s-pen. It does not work. You should also know that this tablet has survived by level of l3. That means you can't watch Netflix in HD, but since we're getting an HD resolution, only it's not too bad.

It just means that movies will have a little less detail as the display would be capable of showing but sure it's not idea and I hope Samsung will fix. It was an update. Furthermore, it's a bit disappointing that Samsung is not shipping. The scale XE Tab A was the same Enos SOC of its bigger brother. Instead, it uses that Qualcomm Snapdragon 429 quad-core processor, with 2 gigabytes of RAM and a 32 gigabyte internal storage.

All of those you can use 10.9 gigabyte out of sub box. Well, as you can see my benchmark comparisons, the Galaxy Tab A is faster in a tutu and in Geek bench than the Amazon Fire HD 8, which is a direct and cheaper competitor. However, it's also noticeably slower than the s-pen version which to be fair, is pricier too, and the bigger Galaxy Tab 10.1 as fast as well. So the performance is not great but well in these benchmarks. That's kind of place where it's priced at EPS, like Chrome and YouTube, run well, that's important to know.

It's certainly fast enough for simple apps, and you can do a bit of multitasking too, but because of those 2 gigabytes of RAM, you will see observing to reload more often because they will get close on the background faster than was tablets that has more memory. I think the performance is fine, but if you often use several apps at once and switch between them fast, this tablet might feel a bit too slow for you. Let's get to my gaming test, I tried puppy mobile with the lowest graphics that a new display that runs pretty smooth, but graphics, look much worse than a high-end device, of course, but well at least you can play it. That's what I can say about shadow gun legends too, with lower settings. You can play it, but when fighting you will see, some stutters I also tried the rising game.

S 5 to 9, however, that one is not playable at all. Loading times are very long, and once it's loaded it's that as a lot, you won't have fun playing it. So the performance is certainly good enough for simpler games or, if you don't care that much about graphics, but if you're looking for a great gaming tablet. This is not the one for you out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, an 8.0 ships with Android and 9.0 PI, and one UI in version 1.1. That's your own interface from Samsung.

In the past, Samsung has been pretty good, with updates for the Galaxy Tab 8 tablets, usually or at least most of the time they get two big updates, and that means they're much better than many competitors with one UI and word gets changed quite a lot. Everything looks different, including the settings. Some special features are a blue light, filter and night mode, energy saving modes, and you can replace a navigation buttons with gestures, there's a new digital by being setting with which you can see how much time you're spending with which apps the tablet continues to support a split screen view, but that one works a bit different from before to open two apps side by side. You've got to tap the recent apps button and then tap on the app icon. Once you do that and menu pops up, and you can select that you want to open it in split screen view.

By the way you can open, apps and free floating windows too, and even adjust the transparency. You can see that Samsung customized Android quite a lot, but I like that. Not too many apps are pre-installed sure there are some standard ones from Samsung, so ones from Google and two for Microsoft and Spotify. But it's it by the way is that's the kids' mode for kids too, since I don't have any it's always hard for me to judge whether it's really useful, but it seems fine for very young kids. Probably not so at once in my standard battery test, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, an 8.0 lasted 13 point 5 hours for this I'm, always looping the same HD video at medium brightness. You can see my comparison that this is a pretty the battery life was pretty good in real life, too I think most will have to charge it every two days or so, but that's not the case.

If you try to replace your phone with the LTE version, for example, or if you play tons of games. Well, that's my Samsung Galaxy Tab, an 8.0 2019 review. My final verdict is true for it, on the one hand, I wish we'd get a full HD screen a better processor and features like a fingerprint sensor, but that would mean it wouldn't be. This cheap I think the price Samsung is asking for is okay. That's where it's placed in my benchmark.

Comparison to many aspects like it's green speakers, cameras and performance are pretty good for its price, glass and I, like that. We get Google Android and that Samsung has been pretty good, was updates in the past. But it's important to note that this is most certainly not a premium device. Let's check out some competitors actually and exactly this price range. There are not many.

A cheaper alternative is the Amazon Fire HD 8 that one of us is someone a display. A weaker performance and you've got to use Amazon's own version of Android. You can install the Google Play Store yourself, though it can be a good and cheap alternative for many. The web. Immediate identify of 8 is a much better alternative.

It's better in pretty much every way and because of the us-china trade war, prices have dropped in many markets. Sure it's over ye old already, but I still consider the premium tablet: sexist Samsung, Galaxy, Tab, an 8 or 0 with s-pen, and so, while we immediate at m5 light 8 are better and pricier alternatives to I really enjoyed using the Galaxy Tab A with s-pen. However, for reasons I don't know Samsung and Huawei as the selling pose and very few markets. Only alright, that's my review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab a8 of 0 2019, the t 290.

My next tablet come I'm reviewing pretty much every tablet that is released almost worldwide, I'm and I for my next upload calm. Thanks for watching and see you next time.
