An upgrade over the Galaxy Tab A9
Better cameras for everyday use
Samsung also improved the cameras. The front camera is now 5 megapixels, a big jump from the A9’s 2 megapixels. Video calls and selfies should look clearer. On the back, the tablet has an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus. Both cameras can record Full HD (1080p) video at 30fps, which is fine for school projects or casual clips.
Hardware and storage options
- 4GB RAM with 64GB storage
- 8GB RAM with 128GB storage
Both come with a microSD slot that supports cards up to 2TB.
Software and updates
The Tab A11 ships with Samsung One UI 7.0 based on Android 15. Samsung promises seven years of major Android updates and security patches, taking the tablet all the way to Android 22. That is rare for an entry-level device and will matter to buyers who want a tablet that lasts.
Connectivity and battery life
The tablet comes in Wi-Fi only and 4G LTE versions. It also supports Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack. The LTE model adds GPS and other navigation systems. Powering everything is a 5,100mAh battery with 15W charging.
