Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1, S5e launched in India: Everything you should know

Indian consumers on the hunt for a decent Android tablet now have two more Samsung options in the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 and Galaxy Tab S5e.

The Galaxy Tab S5e is the more impressive device on paper, offering a mid-range Snapdragon 670 chipset, 4GB to 6GB of RAM, 64GB to 128GB of expandable storage, and a 7,040mAh battery.

Samsung's slate also offers a 10.5-inch OLED screen (2,560 x 1,600), four speakers, an 8MP selfie camera, 13MP rear camera, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB-C, face unlock, and One UI atop Android Pie. Arguably the best reason to get the Galaxy Tab S5e is DeX though, as you can run the Samsung desktop environment when you connect a keyboard cover.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (seen above) is the more budget-focused model, offering a lower mid-range Exynos 7904 chipset (two Cortex-A73 cores plus six Cortex-A53 cores), 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable storage.

Samsung's cheaper device also packs a 10.1-inch LCD screen (1,920 x 1,200), 5MP selfie camera, 8MP rear camera, 6,150mAh battery, USB-C, and One UI paired with Android Pie. Don't expect DeX support here, and it looks like you'll have to do without a fingerprint scanner too.
