Editorial justifications
Only a 7.8-Watt charger included · The tablet does not offer a fingerprint sensor. · While this continues to be a TFT LCD, it now has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels instead of 2000 x 1200 pixels before. · At an average of 345.6 cd/m², the TFT LCD is slightly brighter than that of the predecessor, which offered 337.1 cd/m² on average. · Aside from the minimally increased brightness, the change to a new display did not bring any advantages to the Samsung tablet. · The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. · Due to its relatively low brightness reserves, the Galaxy Tab A8 is not very well-suited for outdoor usage. · However, in everyday operation you should always try to keep the tablet perpendicular to your viewing angle, since otherwise it quickly becomes darker. · The test shows that the Galaxy Tab A8 runs about 10% faster than the Galaxy Tab A7 as promised by Samsung. notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026notebookcheck.net · Oct 19, 2026
