Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A11+ Proves You Don’t Need to Spend More for a Great Tablet
Samsung released the Galaxy Tab A11+ late last year, and it quietly exceeded people’s expectations with what it does at a reasonable price for an Android tablet. Priced at $210 (was $250) for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage edition, this 11-inch slate includes a slew of enhancements that feel like a game changer in a market where corners are typically cut.
Let’s start with the basics: an 11-inch display with 1920 x 1200 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 90Hz. Scrolling is smooth as silk, movies play without judder or stutter, and the larger screen is ideal for binge watching, reading, or light surfing, which is far superior to many other low-cost options with smaller screens that do not refresh as quickly. The brightness and colors remain decent for indoor use, even if the LCD screen can never equal the deep contrast of the more expensive AMOLED devices.

Performance is centered around a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, which is paired with 6GB of RAM. The benchmarks indicate significant improvements over prior budget Samsung tablets, and as a bonus, you get 128GB of storage that can be upgraded by microSD card up to a whopping 2TB. This alleviates much of the worry of running out of space for images, apps, or downloaded information.
Another factor that contributes to the tablet’s appeal is its battery life; the 7,040mAh cell will last you a full day of mixed use and, if you’re lucky, 15 hours of video playback or light use. When you run out of power, you can put it in and get 25W fast charging. Samsung’s quad speakers, which are calibrated with Dolby Atmos, offer rich, room-filling sound that truly outperforms the tablet’s weight class. So you can fully enjoy your movies or music sessions without feeling the need to plug in your headphones.
Samsung has also included some thoughtful features that truly enhance the experience. Google Gemini integration adds a great AI assistant that allows you to perform rapid searches, get summaries, and receive creative prompts directly on the device. Circle to Search allows you to circle anything on the screen to obtain instant context. To top it all off, you get security updates for a full 7 years, which is a rather unusual offer at this price point and a major deal for keeping your tablet safe and up to date long after you’ve purchased it.
