In the battery endurance test for the same Work 2.0 benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) did rather decently but we expected better. The performance is essentially similar to the Snapdragon 625 in this case. From the graph above, we can surmise that it definitely does better than the Snapdragon 400 series, and is almost on par with the 636 chipset. In PCMark Work 2.0, which measures real-world use as accurate as possible, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) fared well enough. In this sense, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) isn’t close to the best when it comes to games but it can still do the job fairly well. Interestingly, the Kirin 710 in the HONOR 20 Lite fared substantially better.
The performance here is still on part with the M20, which uses the same chipset and the Snapdragon 600 series excels in certain areas better. You can also see a noticeable difference in 3DMark. It’s not necessarily bad but it could be better. Sure, the single core performance is up to par but it suffers quite a bit in multi-core situations. In Geekbench, you have a better idea of how it compares to the other Snapdragon 600 devices. To the least, we can expect performance similar to the midrange Snapdragon 600 series chipset. To my knowledge, the M20 does have more RAM than the Tab A, so that may be why the difference is more significant. In the Antutu v7 benchmark, you can see that the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) is scored in between the A30 and M20, but the difference isn’t far apart. We got a feel of it with the Samsung Galaxy A30 and M20 so we kinda have an idea of what to expect. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a run with an Exynos 7904 device. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Wi-Fi Direct, Hotspot Specifications CPU/Chipset:Įxynos 7904 Octa (2 x Cortex-A73 1.8 GHz, 6 x Cortex-A53 1.6 GHz), 14nm FinFETġ0.1″ WUXGA (1920 x 1200) TFT Display, 16M Colours Would not be surprised to see a number of them over time on the side and the back. Getting a protective case for it would be a great idea not because of improved grip but just to avoid getting scratches on the body. It’s not slippery to hold so most users should not have trouble gripping it. The metal body gives it a premium feel, and it’s not a fingerprint magnet.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) is a solidly built Android tablet. There’s nothing on the left side but on the right side, you have a power button, volume rocker, and the SIM / MicroSD tray. On the bottom, you have a USB-C port which is positioned in the middle of two speaker grilles. This part is darker than the rest of the body, giving it a bit of a two-tone look.Īt the top of the device, you have the 3.5mm audio jack and a microphone hole. You can also see a line separating the back body and top part where the camera is situated.
Given the size of the tablet, it’s interesting to see how small the camera feels. You can see the Samsung logo dead centre right here, and the camera on the left corner. Turn over to the back and you’ll get a good view of the tablet’s metal body.
