Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1-Inch 32 GB Wi-Fi - Black (UK Version)

Product Information

Such a missing feature makes the Samsung Tab A 10.1 (2019) less interesting to use with a flip case. For a metal body device, you might expect that the 2019 Tab A 10.1 is heavy in hand. In an actual sense, that’s not the case at all. To be exact, there’s just one sensor on this device which is the accelerometer sensor. To provide clarity, the accelerometer is one common sensor in both smartphones and tablets.

Such a long time in charging this device is a result of the absence of a fast-charging feature. The battery life of this tablet is adequate however, waiting a whole 5 hours to get a full charge is just too much. 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.

This is disappointing because the flash would have aided in taking good pictures in low-light situations.

Three years after the release of Samsung’s 2016 tablet, the South-Korean company decided to upgrade the Tab A 10.1. Instead of giving it a different name, the 2019 model goes with the same “Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1” name.

Such a difference in battery life is not a surprise with the fact that the older model has a larger battery size than its more recent model. Still in comparison, the Apple iPad 6 (2018) performs the same as the Tab A 10.1 (2019) lasting up to 12 hours on continuous web browsing. Another slim thing about this tablet is the bezels. To be more specific, this model has slimmer bezels than its predecessor.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. Interestingly, the previous model also had just the accelerometer sensor to its sensors features. It appears Samsung didn’t see the need to upgrade the tablet’s sensors features.

It’s important to note that these bezels are not as slim as what you’ll find in a smartphone. All the same, the bezels are just the right size so you can hold the edges of the screen without touching the screen itself. Surprisingly, the more expensive Samsung S5E despite its larger 7040 mAh battery, doesn’t beat the Tab A 10.1 (2019). To be precise, the S5E lasts up to 9 hours on continuous web browsing.Powering the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) is a 6150 mAh non-removable battery. For some funny reason, this model has a smaller battery compared to the 7300 mAh battery of its previous model.

Speaking of which, expect the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) to last 12 hours on continuous web browsing with Wi-Fi. The 2016 model on the other hand performs better spanning as long as almost 14 hours on continuous web browsing. All the same, the display quality of this IPS LCD is not unbearable. In fact, color reproduction is great and viewing angles are also great as it retains the clarity of the screen even as you tilt the device. Despite the important function of the accelerometer sensor, it is not the only sensor out there. Some other relevant sensors should have been added to this tablet.

To be exact, this 5 MP camera lens takes decent photos in good lighting conditions, but it equally struggles in low light. In essence, both cameras produce good-looking pictures for a tablet at this price point. In casual games you may see some lag when the screen fills with objects. Demanding 3D titles will often only run smoothly if you lower the graphics setting a bit. This usually means lower resolutions, basic textures, worse draw distance, or a mix of these. Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) is not the strongest in battery life. Irrespective of that, it’s realistic to say that this tablet can last a day on average use. As for its function, this sensor is responsible for how autorotation is made possible. By measuring velocity, the accelerometer communicates to the tablet screen when to rotate and in what direction. Selfies predictably look quite soft in indoors lighting, and aren’t great in any conditions. But both of these cameras are frankly significantly better than I expected. I wouldn’t call them “good”, though, as they are slow to use. The camera app takes a long time to load up and the app feels a little laggy.
