Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T355Y — 8-Inch Android Tablet with 4G LTE
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T355Y pairs an 8-inch 1024 x 768 display with a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410, 2GB RAM, 16GB of storage with microSD expansion, and 4G LTE plus Wi-Fi. It comes with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and free standard AU shipping.
-
8-Inch 4:3 Display: The 1024 x 768 TFT touchscreen has a 4:3 shape that suits reading, web pages and documents, and is easy to hold one-handed in portrait.
-
4G LTE and Wi-Fi: Insert a SIM for mobile data away from Wi-Fi, or use it on your home or office network.
-
Quad-Core Snapdragon 410: A 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm processor with 2GB RAM handles browsing, email, video and everyday apps.
-
Expandable Storage: 16GB of internal storage plus a microSD card slot for photos, music, maps and offline video.
-
Built-In GPS: Works with navigation and mapping apps, so it doubles as a large-screen navigator in the car or on foot.
-
Dual Cameras and 4200mAh Battery: 5MP rear and 2MP front cameras for photos and video calls, powered by a 4200mAh battery.
Performance in Use
The Galaxy Tab A 8.0 sits between a phone and a full-size tablet. It is small enough to carry in a bag or a large coat pocket, yet the 8-inch 4:3 screen shows a full web page or an ebook page without constant zooming. The 4:3 shape gives more vertical room than a widescreen tablet, which makes it comfortable for reading, email and documents.
The Snapdragon 410 and 2GB RAM suit everyday tasks: web browsing, email, streaming video, video calls, ebooks and light productivity apps. It is a dependable second screen or a simple first tablet, not a gaming device. Plan to keep larger media libraries on a microSD card, since part of the 16GB internal storage is taken by the operating system.
The 4G LTE radio is what sets this model apart from the Wi-Fi-only Tab A 8.0. With a data SIM it works as a mobile internet device for travel, field work or a car navigator, and GPS works with mapping apps without a phone tethered to it.
