The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is an entry-level tablet that can be a good choice if you're looking for an affordable 8-inch device. Its design, performance, and software are good for its price and I like that it's small enough to fit in one hand. With that being said, I wish the 8.7-inch screen would have a higher resolution and the battery life could be a bit better.

Positive

• Good design
• Decent performance
• Android 11
