If you are looking for a high-performance and affordable tablet, we have the right plan for you: the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) is available today at only 189 euros against 249 euros when it was released.
For a long time one of the only major manufacturers to offer affordable tablets, Samsung had to work harder in the face of the emergence of new competitors such as Xiaomi, or even Realme. The Korean manufacturer therefore presents the Galaxy Tab A8, an entry-level tablet that benefits from its know-how, and holds good arguments to become the ideal tablet for the whole family. It is also currently available with a reduction of 60 euros.
The key takeaways from the Galaxy Tab A8
- A slim and elegant design
- Better performance compared to the old generation
- Comfortable autonomy
- And a smooth user experience thanks to One UI
Released a few months ago, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021) is normally sold at 249 euros, but thanks to a promotion on Rakuten the price of the tablet drops to just 189 euros.

An elegant premium appearance
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 succeeds the A7, and this new model improves certain points in order to offer a better everyday experience. First thing: the screen which becomes more immersive with its diagonal of 10.5 inches, and its borders of 10.2 mm. This enlargement brings a better visual experience and, even if we are dealing with LCD (FHD +) and not OLED, the Tab A8 is ideal for watching your favorite content. The brand even adds four Dolby Atmos compatible speakers to enjoy good sound quality.
But what we really appreciate is its design which has the right to a touch of freshness. In appearance, it is reminiscent of the recent tablet from Realme, because just like the latter, the South Korean manufacturer is betting on finesse with its Tab A8 of only 6.9 mm thick. For entry-level, these finishes are very valuable especially since it has an elegant metal frame, reminiscent of more premium models. In addition, it offers an excellent grip to accompany you everywhere on the go. It’s the ideal tablet to meet the needs of the whole family.
An effective everyday family tablet
Remember, this tablet is in the entry-level segment so it is obvious that its power remains limited. Samsung has yet revised the performance of its affordable tablet to provide a better user experience. The brand does not communicate on the SoC used, but we know that it is an octa-core Unisoc chip clocked at 2 GHz. According to Samsung, performance has been improved by 10%. The Galaxy Tab A8 should therefore be effective for all the classic uses of a tablet: watching videos, surfing the Internet, some 2D games or social networks without any difficulty. If you are worried about running out of space with the 32 GB of storage offered, you can count on the presence of a microSD card reader to expand the storage capacity up to 1 TB.
Samsung obliges, this tablet comes with the One UI interface, intuitive and well thought out. On the photo side, the Galaxy Tab A8 offers an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus on the back and a 5 megapixel selfie camera. A low quality, but which will be enough to converse in video with your loved ones. Finally, on the autonomy side, the tablet will be able to last at least 2 days in conventional use thanks to its 7,040 mAh battery. If charging is via USB-C, the fast charge is only 15W… so the tablet will take a while to fill up on battery.
