Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) with 7-inch display and 4000mAh battery listed online

After the Samsung Galaxy J1 and J1 Mini that surfaced online a week ago, we now have a tablet called the Galaxy Tab A that has showed up on Samsung’s Dutch website. The tablet seems to be a budget model and packs-in the right specs, but offers only Wi-Fi as a connectivity option in the currently listed variant. Also the listing shows the tablet in black and white without details about its price and availability.

The design of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) seems to look similar to its predecessor but skips on the lipping which was visible at the sides of the glass screen on the older model. The new tablet looks more rounded and goes with a less aggressive bump that give the edges a more rounded appearance. It measures 186.9mm x 108.8mm x 8.7mm and weighs 283 grams which makes it both light and portable.

On the front, we get a 7.0-inch TFT LCD display with 16 million colours and a 1280x720 pixels display resolution. Inside there is a 1.3GHz quad-core processor (make not specified) with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The internal storage can be expanded up to 200GB using a micro SD card.

Coming to the imaging features of this tablet, it packs in a 5MP AF CMOS sensor for the primary and a 2MP unit for the front-facing camera.

Connectivity options inlcude Wi-Fi (802.11 b / g / n 2.4GHz), Bluetooth V4.0, Wi-Fi Direct and GPS.

Samsung currently sells its Tab A (2015) for Rs 17,000 sporting a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and 2 GB RAM. Also available is an LTE version, so we are expecting an LTE version of the 2016 model to surface online shortly.
