The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 is a budget Android tablet with an 8.7 inch display, a MediaTek Helio G99 processor. After the tablet quietly showed up on Samsung’s United Arab Emirates website last month, this week Samsung officially introduced the tablet and started selling the tablet in select markets.
The company also confirmed that a larger model called the Galaxy Tab A11+ is coming later this year. That version is expected to have an 11 inch screen and faster processor, as well as support for Samsung’s DeX software that lets you use the tablet like a PC.
There’s no word on how much the Galaxy Tab A11+ will cost, but the 8.7 inch Galaxy Tab A7 is available for pre-order in France, Ireland, the UK, and India with prices starting at around €180 ($210). There are multiple prices/configurations available:
- WiFi-only with 4GB RAM & 64GB storage for €180
- WiFi-only with 8GB RAM & 128GB storage for €230
- WiFi & 4G LTE with 4GB RAM & 64GB storage for €220
- WiFi & 4G LTE with 8GB RAM & 128GB storage for €270
US pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet, and there’s no word on how much the Galaxy Tab A11+ will cost when it becomes available later this year.
The larger tablet is expected to feature an 11 inch, 90 Hz display, a 7,040 mAh battery, support for 25W fast charging, and a Mediatek Dimensity 7300 processor. It will be available with 128GB or 256GB of storage and features a microSD card reader with support for cards up to 2TB as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Meanwhile, for the most part the 8.7 inch Galaxy Tab A11 seems like a pretty modest update to the previous-gen Galaxy Tab A9, which was released in 2023.
Both tablets feature 8.7 inch, 13480 x 800 pixel displays, the same memory and storage options, the same 5100 mAh batteries, and the same MediaTek Helio G99 processor (with 2 ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores @ 2.2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores @ 2 GHz paired with ARM Mali-G57 MC2 graphics).
But the new model has 90 Hz screen refresh rate (up from 60 Hz in the older model) and a 5MP front camera (up from 2MP).
Other features include an 8MP rear camera, a USB 2.0 Type-C port and 3.5mm audio jack, a microSD card reader, and support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.3.

Was in the market for a small tablet. Will probably get this when it releases in the US.
Based on the timing for the A9, you will have a long, long wait. (Based on US experience.)
Worst case, I import one then. 🙂
