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.

S6, S7 not sold anymore. So i had the choice between the super crappy A8 for 230 euros or the great S8 for 750 euros. That is a big gap, and a new mid range 450 euros tablet would fit perfectly, especially against the much better tablets from the chinese Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Realme...In spite of being a Samsung fan I just bought the Xiaomi tablet, quality is light years ahead of A8.

They've deliberately made the budget tablet much weaker this time to push people towards their premium like the s7 tab. It's a con really. They've got no midrange and the alternative to this is over 600. Realistically, this should be around 180 euros and there should be a midrange 350 or 400 model.

at least Samsung offers 1 or 2 majo... moreIn terms of updates, you should also be aware that on the official Samsung website there is a footnote that says "The list of security update models are subject to change and it will be reviewed on a periodic basis."
It means Samsung can unilaterally change their update policy for certain devices so there is always the possibility that some Samsung devices will not get updates for more than 2 years like flagship devices.
