Hi everyone I purchased this tablet just a month ago, and questioning why I did, I wanted something that was going to be upgradeable, my last security update for the tablet after purchase January and then February even though I have tried many times it won't update any further, we are in May
Until recently I hadn't noticed any issue, but the screen seems to a bit glitchy on the edges
Does anyone know if there will be further updates, considering it only came out in January you would think there would be

Tab S6 Lite 2022 coming soon. Will be more expensive, but at least better than A8 which is really the bottom of the barrel.

Samsung can save this tablet only by releasing Android 12 update as early as possible.

I wish samsung added 5g to this thing, my signal in this place is crap and my mum has tasked me to screen record videos. Im really just dissapointed, and im jealous of people who has the tab s8 with stylus and great connectivity.

At the moment in my country nothing from Samsung between the cheap crappy Tab A8, and the super expensive great S8...I know there is a shortage of chips, but Samsung should really launch a midrange tablet soon...More and more people are buying Xiaomi or Lenovo tablets in the 450 dollars range

Yep, screen is the problem. Reds are washed out. Oranges look yellow. Greens look fluoro. Seems like the software brightness is too high, or contrast too low. I've got it low brightness, still tires my eyes. No software control over RGB or contrast. Battery short. Camera where you put fingers. Metal case is cold to touch. Screen is nice and slippery. Hope they fix it.

I run a ton of YouTube videos, usually at 2x, which runs perfectly at 1080p, but the 1080p60 that some YouTubers are posting start to stutter at 1.75x.
Hopefully, the added ram helps with that, but if not, it’ll come in handy along with the added storage over the next few years of Android updates.
TLDR: I can recommend this tab for any and all basic tasks.

Youzz, 14 Apr 2022Yep, screen and speed are simply terrible...
Hopefully i w... moreThe screen is it's Biggest issue.
Colors are not what I would expect from a Samsung Tab. Bluish hue, lack of contarst, fade experience overall.
Red collors are never red. Maybe dark orange at the maximum contrast.
A tablet starts with the screen. And this one fails here. No matter how good the rest of it is.
I'm returning mine. Will look for an alternative.

I´m planning to use this as a PDF reader basically, some medical apps, no games (maybe from time to time) and Youtube. Maybe some MS Office works... I guess this is a good choice, not so expensive. Any comments?

I think I kind of like this Samsung galaxy Tab A8. It is cute and good. It kind of have all the requirements I want in a Tab.

problem with s6 lite is that it doesnt come with color calibration so you're stuck with over saturated colors. I already prefer a more natural look, but the issue is confounded by the fact that the s6 lite doesnt have an oled so the saturation is even worse. dunno if a8 has color calibration

Hopefully i will be able to find the S6 Lite, which is gettting rare nowdays. I think Samsung hope people will buy the S8 series, but it is a completely different price range

I just bought, and the screen is lackluster - completely washedout with poor contrast. In comparison to my tab s6 lite, which also has a tft led display, it's a night and day difference. The device is smooth and works well on 4GB version and it's really well made, but the screen is among the worst I've ever seen on a tablet. This should not happen at this price point.

Terrible camera. Tab A 2019 was better. If only it was not used at work, I would still go for the latter.

Posting a more "useful" entry in the sea of comments after trying it out at a store. UI performance seems better than last year, which is the only noticeable difference. Won't be running as good as the Xiaomi Pad 5 if there's a heavy background app. Screen quality is worse in terms of brightness, viewing angles and refresh rate ofc than the Xiaomi.
The only redeeming factors are the metal back, 3.5mm jack and microSD slot, some dumb choices on Xiaomi's end ig lol. Just some things I've noticed with a little hands-on time, never seen any Realme or Lenovo tablets around sadly.
