Flagship at a nice price This is last year's flagship, which is not much different from the new 2022 product, but costs significantly less. The price difference compared to the next generation flagship is 20%.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 44,500 rub.

Samsung showed a qualitatively new leap in technology. The system is powered by an advanced eight-core Qualcomm processor with a frequency of 2800 MHz. A good amount of RAM, only 6 gigabytes is enough for absolutely all tasks. Separately, we need to highlight support for memory cards up to 1 TB. Upon startup, you will be greeted by a high-quality Super AMOLED display with a glossy finish. Once turned on, you will see a full 2K display with a resolution of 2560x1600. The cameras are also in perfect order. The rear camera has a resolution of 13 MP, and the front one is 8 MP. The appearance of the tablet follows all modern features - relatively thin frames are combined with a metal body in gray or blue.

Rating (2021): 4.47

133 reviews taken into account from resources: Yandex.Market, Otzovik

• Characteristics

  Average price: 17900 rub.

• Country: South Korea
• Screen: 10.1 inches, 1920x1200, IPS
• Processor: Exynos 7870, 8 cores, 1600 MHz
• Memory: 2 GB / 16 GB
• Battery: 7300 mAh
• Weight: 525 g

The model cannot compete with flagships, but it can easily compete with Lenovo or Huawei devices. On the Korean side a little more. The 8-core Samsung Exynos 7870 produces about 60 thousand points in the popular AnTuTu benchmark, which is quite enough for a tablet. RAM 2 GB. The screen is good: 10.1' diagonal, resolution 1920x1200 pixels. The colors are rich and the brightness is sufficient. Professional designers and photographers in reviews claim that the screen is a little “yellow,” but the average user is unlikely to notice. Everything is fine with the connection: there is 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, GLONASS. The only disappointment is the lack of NFC. But the battery is as much as 7300 mAh - the device will last 3-4 days with moderate use without problems.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Big battery
• Good oleophobic coating
• AptX codec support

• The screen turns yellow
• Poor performance
• Large frames

Best price-quality ratio An inexpensive tablet with a large screen, high resolution and normal performance in household use cases. This Samsung tablet receives high ratings from users and deserves the “best value for money” nomination.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 16150 rub.

• Country: South Korea
• Screen: 10.4 inches, 2000x1200, TN+Film
• Processor: Snapdragon 662, 8 cores, 2000 MHz
• Memory: 3 GB / 32 GB
• Battery: 7040 mAh
• Weight: 477 g

An inexpensive tablet from Samsung that deserves the title of the best in an affordable price category. The manufacturer pleased us with a high-resolution screen with a diagonal of 10 inches, but saved on the matrix. It is bright and conveys colors well, but inverts if the viewing angle is deviated. The sound is good - there are stereo speakers installed here. The performance is relatively small, but it is enough to play Minecraft and other not very heavy games; and also to work in programs, watch videos on YouTube without lags and read news on the Internet. Samsung also decided to install a chipset from Qualcomm as a processor instead of its own Exynos, and this is also a good decision, since the former work more stably and do not lose frequencies under load.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Ideal aspect ratio for watching movies
• Snapdragon processor in the low-cost segment
• Smooth operating interface
• 4 speakers. Good sound

• Small display viewing angles
• Slight unevenness of screen backlight
• The included power adapter does not support fast charging (but the tablet itself does)

How to setup

After purchasing a tablet, you can immediately start using it, but if you make a quick and easy initial setup of the device “for yourself,” you will get good results. Let's talk about the main options for customizing tablets.

Firstly, you should link your Google account from the very beginning, thereby ensuring that you can save your personal data and be able to move it to other devices with the same account.

Secondly, you need to immediately “stock up” with a standard package of applications, which includes Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel), social networks (Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki), messengers (Viber, WhatsApp).

Thirdly, you should change the design and size of the fonts, as well as the fonts themselves, to your favorite ones. First, we select a beautiful image and set it on the desktop wallpaper, then we look at the text sizes and if they do not suit you, then go to the settings and, moving through the intuitive interface, customize all the parameters for yourself.

A well-built and inexpensive Galaxy tablet with high-quality speakers, of which there are two, and both of them produce stereo sound without crackles or noise. You can use it as a smartphone, so the communication module works perfectly. Wi-Fi operates at a standard 5 GHz frequency and there are no comments on its operation. The added OTG function came in very handy, so now you can connect any media to the tablet via Micro USB. In normal tasks, the RAM load is on average 70%, it is only 2 GB, but there are no slowdowns during Internet surfing. The only serious problem is in the form of charging. Frankly speaking, it is weak, only 1.5 Amperes. Thus, the average charging time from 0 to 100% takes about 5 hours.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Compact size
• Excellent build quality
• Good sound from external speakers

• Long charging time
• Hard charging cable
• Screen scratches easily

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 SM-T505 64GB

Design in Samsung style, large battery capacity, light weight of the tablet itself, surround and high-quality sound, the presence of a children's mode, which is not found in tablets from other manufacturers, can be used as a phone, although the country of origin is China, but it works no worse than other gadgets from Samsung , produced in other countries. A year ago, we purchased a Samsung Tab A 10.1 tablet. Having assessed all the qualities, and the most important thing for me is the type of TFT screen, which causes the least harm to the eyes compared to Amoled screens, we decided to purchase a second one - Samsung Tab A 7. The purchased tablet did not disappoint and met all expectations, I repeat once again, though and the country of origin is China, but it works no worse than other Samsung gadgets made in other countries. I can recommend both phones and tablets from Samsung, because... This is the seventh one in our family since 2022, and all still work with intensive use on their original batteries.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T295 32Gb (2019)

An excellent tablet for my networks and surfing the Internet. I bought it for my dad, who has a very difficult time communicating with modern technology. For him and the kids, this is exactly what he needs. Like a smartphone, but big)) The colors are bright, the sound is loud. On the Internet it behaves normally... not slow, not fast.. Usually. Supports STM card and mobile Internet. The camera is of course weak. I definitely recommend purchasing if you just need a surfer on the Internet and multimedia entertainment

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T290 32Gb Wi-Fi

We took a tablet for a child to the dacha. We only realized when we discovered that it did not have a slot for a SIM card. There is no Wi-Fi at the dacha. I contacted the seller with a request to replace it with a Model with a SIM card and pay extra. I brought it to the car factory, I was with my youngest child and had to carry both the child and the stroller three and a half floors. There the expert rubbed it and found a scratch. We did not use the tablet, it is also impossible to open it in front of the courier (visual inspection only). And you won’t notice this scratch until they show it to you. As a result, the product was not changed and we were left at the extreme end)). The most interesting thing is that the tablet was charged almost 100%. I don't think the 2022 Model held a charge that long. That's the whole disadvantage of online orders! You can't prove anything to anyone!!!

I've been a fan of Samsung all my life; they make really good, high-quality equipment. Overall, I'm completely satisfied) Thanks to the manufacturers for such a decent budget tablet!!

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 SM-T500 32GB Wi-Fi (2020)

Screen: high contrast (1400:1), good behavior of black color at large angles (does not turn purple or yellow as on some matrices). The color gamut is close to sRGB, good color balance after adjustment. Also, the advantages include a good oleophobic coating and an effective anti-glare filter. The processor is quite suitable for a budget device. Sound: loud sound from the speakers, I’m also glad that the minijack was not removed. Battery: I liked the battery life, you can expect 6-15 hours of continuous operation, depending on the usage scenario. Useful feature to cut off charging at 85 percent to reduce battery wear. There is support for fast charging. A good tablet for the money. To adjust the color temperature here you can use a blue filter; when you click on the inscription, a smooth adjustment of the intensity of the blue filter appears. With its help, you can set the screen to 6500K if you have any calibrated monitor nearby or a mobile phone screen well adjusted from the factory. The pls matrix is ​​used here, this is an analogue of ips from Samsung. Small viewing angles may be due to the quality of the polarizing filter, and not, as some write, that there is a TN matrix here.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 SM-T505 32GB (2020)

After Lenovo it was unusual. But I specifically chose this one because of the battery and sound. Then I held Lenovo with similar characteristics in my hands and realized that I was right. I'm especially pleased with the battery. The question is when it will die. The five-year-old is still plowing with lenovo. Well, with memory, of course... It’s not enough. Therefore, all automatic updates were immediately disabled. After rooting (I don’t recommend it in any way if you don’t know how or the warranty is important) I threw out a bunch of garbage. It got even better. I don’t like the color rendition, it’s quite blue, even after using useful tips for setting it up. The sound is just great. I enjoy watching movies. The quality of the photo is as expected, but I don’t consider it a minus, because... and the price is appropriate. But not horror-horror. Examples of photos can be viewed. The quality could be better, I just didn’t try at all. Especially artificial light, daylight is much better. It's very disappointing that they didn't include a fast charger in the kit. Quite greedy. It crashed unexpectedly a couple of times. One time it turned off unexpectedly. I don’t consider this yet, as a drawback. There is no flash and, accordingly, no flashlight. It takes a long time to charge using a regular charger. The frame could have been made smaller. I don't feel comfortable with the power and volume buttons on top. I don’t play heavy games, everything else the average user rustles quickly. For this price at the moment, it seems to me that there is nothing better.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T295 32Gb (2019)

Design, tactile feel. A year after its release, an update arrived on the tablet, now it has Android 10.0 with a proprietary shell from Samsung. In average games the flight is normal. I bought it as a gift for my seven year old daughter, she is happy as an elephant. Before this, we bought a tablet from dexp, it worked for 2 weeks and the screen began to artifact, there are no problems with that. If you use the tablet's resources wisely, then lags and friezes will not occur. The battery holds up decently, you will have to work hard to get it to work quickly).

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 10.4 SM-P610 64Gb Wi-Fi (2020)

+ Stylish design + Gorgeous speakers + Great display! Oleophobic coating, deep black color, good color rendering. I haven’t checked the calibration, but by eye it looks great. + There is a Samsung Dex + A comfortable stylus: it doesn’t slip in the hand, it’s attached to magnets, you don’t need to charge it, the stylus is pleasant to the touch, there are no delays when writing text or even making quick strokes (for those who, like me, are worried about this - everything is ok, calm down). I've seen some people experience lag when working on a very large canvas and having a lot of layers, but that's normal, it's not a stylus issue, it's a computational issue. This will happen in Photoshop when working on wacom. + Samsung turns out to have a bunch of convenient programs that are better than similar ones in the play market. O_o The attached images contain a sample of Samsung Notes (similar to Goodnotes), a file manager, and email. + There is a split screen for working in two applications at once. + It is possible to take not just a screenshot, but cut out part of the image and immediately send it somewhere, if necessary. + Has its own cloud + Camera is better than similar ones in MP. There is a software option for adjusting ISO, exposure, and a small zoom. Face capture if anyone needs it. It says there is no stabilization, but in fact there is something like that, because I have never had an image smeared even with shaking hands. The camera itself doesn’t have enough stars from the sky, it’s mediocre, but it can take a normal picture. The front one is well suited for video communication. Not suitable for a beautiful selfie, pixelated. + With only 4Gb of RAM, the tablet works very quickly. No delays, freezes, etc. Perhaps they will appear in the future, but at the moment they are not. Unexpected and pleasant! + There is a slot for a memory card up to 1Tb. + I drove it with the GPS turned on to show movies for an hour and a half, it spent about 30% of the charge. Without GPS he eats even less. + The screen is very bright even at medium value. I am the person who constantly needs to remember something, not forget, write it down, watch it, check it, etc. etc... Half the table was covered in stickers and pieces of paper, everywhere there were some English dictionaries, teaching materials, notes, pens, pieces of paper, notepads... I also don’t have a normal digital camera, I have a phone with the same camera megapixels, which blurs out EVERYTHING it can, and a DSLR, which is not handy to carry around with you all the time. I was looking for a tablet on which I can transfer all my notes and notes, take quick notes (on this tablet you can even write a note on the locked screen and save it, THING!), quickly take a photo of something at hand. I also wanted good color reproduction so I could edit images as needed, and a split screen so I could view the material and immediately record it somewhere. In general, I am 100% happy so far, like an elephant. I got everything I wanted. In addition, great sound and good performance (I didn’t expect this with so much RAM). The tablet weighs a little. Well, what else is needed for happiness?
