Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 7 inch Spotted Price Specs Philippines

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 gets spotted! but something is missing.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 comes in similar design but now it features a 7 inch display so making it more rectangular shape than of the old 8 inch model. A reduce in display size is compensated with a increase in resolution at 800 x 1280 making it 16:9 aspect ratio with 216ppi much better than before. This bodes well for 0000 pdfs but still works for movies but preferably on landscape. It is slim at 8.7mm and light at 283g which makes it great for carrying around your bag.

Under the hood, the new Galaxy Tab A 2016 edition packs 1.5GHz Quad-Core Processor coupled with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB Internal Storage. A MicroSD slot is available and supports up to 200GB if you need more storage.

As for optics, just the same setup of 5MP Rear and 2MP Front camera combo which should be enough for your social media captures and sharing. Speaking of sharing, the Galaxy Tab here A 2016 carries the regular set of connectivity - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. There is a sim card tray available so you have phone and messaging features as well as data connectivity on the Go handled by LTE / 3G.

Camera samples look here:

Just basics here as they only carry basics with aperture size of f/2.2. Yet i was surprise with the Selfie as it was decent still compared to local brands with 2MP front cameras.

Runs on Android 5.1 but less of bloats. Oddly enough it lacks Microsoft suites which we can find via other Samsung models. Does have visual controls like control font and also features gestures and motion control. We have not encountered lags while navigating through the device.

Battery is reduced at 4000mAh but with more updated chipset and redduce screen size it should do better job staying alive or always on.

The major drawback however is that it looks like for Galaxy Tab A 2016, Samsung has do away the SPen. I am sure artist, writers, creatives and scribblers would miss this feature.

To conclude, Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 is a reliable tablet with decent performance with Phone capabilities and LTE. Although we miss the SPen as it was the signature of the A series.

Spotted via Abenson website for 9,990 Pesos! Guess with trimmings of some features it cost less.

It is also now available with selected Samsung Concept stores. No demo unit yet but they have it.
