Unlike the Tab A 10.1 (2019), which lacked stylus support. Another upgrade is more RAM.

Hope this tablet will go screen to body ratio over 70%. Below 70% are very think bezels. Below 75% are consider thick bezels. Over 75% will be a begin of thin bezels. Over 80% are ultra thin bezels. Will this tablet screen body to ratio go below iPhone 6 plus?

    Walter C. Dornez, 28 Mar 2019Ah, I see. Give Attack on Titan a watchI'm actually thinking to try out some classics like Yu Gi Oh or the first Gundam anime. Now that I think about it, I used to watch Digimon too, but only till the first season. Although, sometimes I feel like reading manga instead (currently going through the My Hero Academia manga)

      Great news with a 8 inch screen with full HD resolution. I wouldn't dream of getting one of those cheap low resolution models.

      Most phones are to small for reading news and books, while 10 inch tablets are to big and heavy to use in public transportation.

      I have the 10.5 from last year. It's great for watching Netflix while in a stand. You hands get tired and hurts if you use it handheld for hours.

                Dorsefrith, 28 Mar 20194200 mah ... oh really? On a T A B L E T ??The res is just a bit higher that 1080p and the chipset isn't power hungry. The tablet will do fine I think.

                  Jun1250, 28 Mar 2019I think I should rephrase that. What I meant to say was 2-3... moreDeath Note is perfect for anime newbies. Perfect lengh at about 27 episodes that doesn't tire out the viewer, perfectly paced story that hooks you from the get-go and a great soundtrack.
                  The english dub's also great.

                    So they finally release an 8" tablet in this price range with a screen resolution higher than 1024x768 or 1280x800... but now the battery is smaller??

                      Samsung tablets in the $250-$300 range usually don't even have IPS screens

                          8 inch screen? Is that a Phablet but the other way round?

                            If it has stereo speakers, this tablet is going to be a media powerhouse. Not AMOLED sure, but for the price I think it's fair. FHD content looks better on a FHD screen, not something higher. And since we have no 4K tablets... The battery is actually good. From my past experience with a 28nm SoC... And the pen!

                            Not coming to my country it seems....

                              Xiaomi was able to put a 5500 mAh battery in the 6.9" Mi Max 3 and Samsung puts only 4200 mAh in this 8" tablet? Just No way!!!

                                  Walter C. Dornez, 28 Mar 2019Which anime?I think I should rephrase that. What I meant to say was 2-3 anime, 1-2 manga, a bunch of "random clips" videos and less than 100 Fandom Wikia page visits... Oh and a ton of J-Core songs listened if that counts

                                  The anime I watched are pretty entry-level: Naruto Shippuden and One Punch Man. But I've read a manga with an unpopular anime adaptation: Toriko. A certain "girly" anime I know but barely watched is Girls Und Panzer

                                    Jun1250, 28 Mar 2019OH DANG. This caught me off guard... I'm deffo looking for ... moreWhich anime?

                                      This is going to be a big hit in Australia as usual, especially Telstra customers.
