Samsung’s new budget tablet has an excellent price/features ratio and promises great autonomy thanks to its 7,040 mAh battery
Officially announced in early September, Samsung’s new budget tablet has arrived on the market. Even the Italian one. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 2020 keeps the promises made by the Korean manufacturer at the time of its presentation: it’s comfortable, it’s cheap and it has a great battery.
Available in both WiFi-only version and also with SIM data, the Galaxy Tab A7 has a 10.4-inch screen that covers 80% of the total size of the tablet. The technical specifications are those of a low-end tablet, but not too much, as the initials A of Samsung confirms, but the price / features ratio, even considering that we are talking about a Samsung product, is good. The Galaxy Tab A7 is in fact a tablet home all-rounder, good especially to watch multimedia content and, if necessary, finish some ‘work that we have brought home from the office.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7: the data sheet

Two cameras present: a front 5 MP and a rear 8 MP. Face recognition, therefore, is in 2D and this does not make this method of authentication on Samsung’s tablet very secure. It’s possible to record videos up to the resolution of 1,920×1,080 at 30 frames per second and there’s no flash.
