Samsung has quietly debuted the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Plus with S Pen compatibility in France; the midrange tablet was listed on the company’s Belgium/France website version. The slate costs €339 (or $370) in France but there is no word on launch in other markets.
Earlier this year, infos trickled out that Samsung was planning to launch a 9.7-inch Galaxy A Tablet with S Pen compatibility. The South Korean has a history of reserving the S Pen for high-end devices (tablets and phones) like the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Tablet and the upcoming Galaxy Note 5.
However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Plus is a midrange tablet, making it the first midrange to low-end to come with the S Pen (SM-P550N) input. Moving to the key specs, the Galaxy Tab A Plus sports a 9.7-inch LCD display with 4:3 aspect ratio which the company has fallen in love with recently. The resolution stands at 1024 x 768 pixels and the body measures around 7.5mm in thickness.
Under the hood it is powered by a quad-core Ziilabs ZMS-08 processor clocked at 1.2GHz paired with 2GB of RAM. For files and the likes, there is 16GB space of internal storage and there is a microSD card slot for storage expansion (up to 128GB). Moving to the camera segment, the main camera is a 5MP snapper and the front camera is a 2MP snapper.
At the moment there is no cellular version of the tablet listed with the main connectivity on this mode being the Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A Plus is backed by a 6000mAh battery and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop OS with the company’s TouchWiz UI sprinkled ontop. Sandy Black and Sandy White are the expected available colour options.
