The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is a 10.1-inch Android-based tablet computer produced and marketed by Samsung Electronics. It belongs to the mid-range "A" series, which also includes 7, and in the past, 8 and 9.7-inch models. It was released in May 2016;[1] [2] the S-Pen (stylus) version was released in September 2016.[3] [4] A refreshed version of the tablet would later be released in 2019, with some aspects, such as the battery, being reduced, while other components were upgraded.
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, customized with TouchWiz software and Samsung apps such as S Planner, WatchON, Smart Stay, Multi-Window, Group Play, and the S-Pen suite for the S-Pen version.
As of 2018, the tablet runs Samsung Experience 9.5, based on Android 8.1.0 Oreo.
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is available in WiFi-only and 4G/LTE & Wi-Fi variants. It has a 10.1-inch PLS LCD screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. It also has a 2 MP front camera without flash and a rear-facing 8.0 MP F1.9 AF camera with flash. It has various camera modes like Sports, Beauty, HDR, Auto, Night, Continuous Shot, Pro mode and Panorama.
The tablet is extremely thin but is also durable. It has only one physical button at the front, which is the home button, and has three more buttons at the right hand side of the tablet, one power button, one volume up button and one volume down button. There are also two soft buttons present at the front of the screen. One recents and one back button.
The NotebookCheck site praised the tablet's connectivity and GPS, battery life, and responsiveness in general applications, but criticized the camera's performance, slow responsiveness of the screen during gaming, and subpar speaker performance -especially noting the absence of bass and sound originating from only one side of the device in landscape mode- and slow drive sequential write speeds.[5]
A new version of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 was announced in February 2019, with Android 9 Pie (upgradable to Android 11), the Exynos 7904 chipset and an IPS display with unchanged resolution. The rear flash is removed, S-Pen support is dropped and the battery is smaller, while the front camera is upgraded to 5 MP and the speakers are now stereo.[6]
