I just bought this tablet around 800 ringgit, normally I just want a big screen read PDF format report and watching UA-cam and Netflix during vacation, now also using Samsung phone, I really like one ui a lot of useful function and don't mind performance a bit slow 😜
My old Samsung tab required to be fully charged prior too its first use. This tan tab was only accompanied w/ a small quick pamphlet that was of no help to a first time user. Would like to know if users need to first fully- charge the tab prior to first use? Help?
Good video! I am thinking of purchasing one of these that is described as Samsung Galaxy Tablet A8 (2021), 64GB, brand new. Would it actually be 64GB and would it be suitable for Google App games? (My current Samsung Galaxy Tablet S2 (2015) keeps "cutting out" on one particular Roulette 3D game. )
Wich Game? I cant Test it for you but a roulette game?! I am very sure that the a8 could handle it without any issues… It can technically even run Genshin impact (should be the hardest mobile game in the moment) but that’s Not realy a fun thing, more a „you have just no other choice“ thing… Even on lowest settings you have a lot of framedrops, fps are in best case slightly over 20 and in worst cases it drops down to 1 frame in 2-3 seconds (yes, it lags hardly) and it realy don’t look great at all on this Settings… But for casual and midrange games like PUBG or COD Mobil or asphalt it’s quit ok I would say and in this case, how I said, I think it will handle it without issue (at least in the moment)…

Hello from The Philippines. Your reviews are great :)
I just bought this tablet around 800 ringgit, normally I just want a big screen read PDF format report and watching UA-cam and Netflix during vacation, now also using Samsung phone, I really like one ui a lot of useful function and don't mind performance a bit slow 😜
Hey bro, nice review. 👍
Thanks bro!
Can you please comment on why I might be getting a Yellow Triangle w/an explanation point when I tried charging the A8 for a second time? Thanks.
where can i buy that charger? the 15w chord with indicator

You can use it without fully charging it. It's just recommended to charge it first but not necessary.
good concise review

i tried a7 lite but the screen was horible
I Had 2 Samsung Galaxy tablet fail ! Won't turn on .... They have there problems too....
My out of date Lenovo still turn on ....
Is it storage enough to use for long time
You can expand with MicroSD card

It can barley run android 11 fluidly how should that chipset handle more modern android in 2 or 3 years with hardware that Apples uses 8 years ago and end the firmware support (not security) in the end of this year and Apple is may more efficient with the hardware as the android ecosystem…
If you are looking for cheap and longlife, take the basic iPad from 2018-2019 (here in Germany you could get it for around 200€/$ US and this devices will still last 4-5 years I would say…

Does it support 120hz or 90hz? Or just regular 60hz?
60Hz only

This may be my most out of the blue question. But if I really don't like K-Pop, do you think Koreans will take it personally?
Lol, nah they won't

4x Storage for base Modell, 2x praphics, 25% More RAM on Basic and 33% more on the higher devices, around 15% more processing power, way better ips display on the p11 plus with active pen support (no pen at all for the a8), nearly same design, same 4x speakers (both not great or bad), cheaper and better equipment (wired docked keyboard) for the p11 plus and less bloatware on the p11 plus…
In the moment I still have the a8 but to be honest, after I found the p11 plus I decide to sell the a8 again and buy instead the p11 plus for the way better gaming performance and the way higher amount of storage…
Only downside (at least for me) payed the same 230€ for the a8 just 2 month ago and cause it has now a very small dent in the relatively easy bending frame I can’t give it back so I must sell it with a big big lost…
Ok, I think I should get back around 150€ with the case I bought and so it’s not a so dramatically lost but 80€ in 2 month, that hurts hard…
But at least one smile, I think the other person wich will buy my a8 would be surly very happy that he can get this device so cheap and I think that’s a realy good thing even when not for me in first place…😅
Is it a good recommendation for students?
For the basics, yes.
No, just bt keyboards supported and no pen at all, so I would clearly not recommend this device Form study, school or business I’ve you need more as just a bigger screen…
