Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Overview
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is a tablet computer running on the Android platform, featuring a 10.1-inch display and developed by Samsung Electronics. Positioned within Samsung's mid-tier "A" lineup, this series also comprises 7-inch models and previously included 8- and 9.7-inch variants. The initial release occurred in May 2016, followed by the launch of the S-Pen equipped variant in September of the same year. Subsequently, an updated edition was introduced in 2019, which incorporated enhancements in certain hardware areas while reducing others, such as battery capacity.
Features
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is equipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, enhanced by TouchWiz UI and a suite of Samsung applications including S Planner, WatchON, Smart Stay, Multi-Window, Group Play, along with the S-Pen software bundle for models supporting the S-Pen.
By 2018, the device was updated to Samsung Experience 9.5, built on Android 8.1.0 Oreo.
This tablet is offered in both WiFi-only and combined 4G/LTE & Wi-Fi configurations. It features a 10.1-inch PLS LCD panel with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. The front-facing camera measures 2 MP without flash, while the rear camera is an 8.0 MP F1.9 AF unit equipped with flash. Camera functionalities include modes such as Sports, Beauty, HDR, Auto, Night, Continuous Shot, Pro mode, and Panorama.
Despite its slim profile, the tablet maintains robust durability. On the front, it has a single physical home button; the right side houses three buttons: power, volume up, and volume down. Additionally, two capacitive buttons—Recents and Back—are positioned beneath the screen.
NotebookCheck commended the device for its connectivity options, GPS accuracy, battery longevity, and overall responsiveness in everyday tasks. However, it pointed out drawbacks including underwhelming camera quality, sluggish touch response during gaming sessions, and lackluster speaker output—highlighting the absence of bass and mono sound emanating from one side in landscape orientation—as well as slow sequential write speeds on storage.
Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019)
In February 2019, Samsung unveiled an updated Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (models SM-T510 & SM-T515) featuring Android 9 Pie with an upgrade path to Android 11. Powered by the Exynos 7904 processor and sporting an IPS display retaining the original resolution, this iteration removed the rear flash and discontinued S-Pen compatibility. The battery capacity was reduced; however, the front camera was enhanced to 5 MP and stereo speakers replaced the previous mono setup.
