Samsung’s latest tablet, the Galaxy Tab A8, is coming to the U.S. next month
Samsung’s Matthew Leem, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing Group, MX (Mobile eXperience) Business referred to this in his statement. “In a world where remote working and learning has become the norm, tablets have become an indispensable device for so many,” Leem said.

He added, “They’re the perfect tool for getting more out of our online activities both at home and on the go. We know people are increasingly turning to tablets for video calls, online classrooms, gaming and streaming, so we equipped the Galaxy Tab A8 with brilliant new features to help you connect on a new level.”

The device allows users to view two apps side-by-side with a split-screen. For those using the tablet for work or school, Samsung notes that “If you’re in a lecture, you can simultaneously chat with classmates, take notes and view a presentation all at once. And when browsing the internet, simply drag a link from your current window to the side to create a split screen. The Drag & Split feature automatically opens a second browser window for more dynamic webpage browsing.”
The tablet will be available in Gray, Silver, and new Pink Gold starting later this month in Europe. But fear not U.S. residents! It also will be available in the U.S. starting next month. There will be variants of the device that will offer Wi-Fi connectivity only, and some models will connect to both Wi-Fi and LTE networks. Android 11 is pre-installed.
