Tablet was created for more productivity due to its large screen estate. Using tablet for selfies or taking pictures wasn't a trend due to its large size in which will cause shaky or blur images.

Btw, face detection is a rather common feature in many android native camera apps. Eg: you open front facing camera, it detects a face, then it will show a circle indicating it is focusing on the user's face.
*
So every tablet also have face detection ? problem is 5mp is really poor.It's just like a 2mp with poor low light non auto focus camera.
I wonder why some manufacturer didn't follow oppo style of turning the back to front camera for tablet ? Copyright ?

Firstly, you need to check it is a sealed box that was the most important. If have anything not right just take a photo and send to customer service make a report. Don't wait for too long only make the report. For warranty you can check online.

How to check if the online seller said

Need to open box to register online warranty

Does all phone/tablet require open box to register ? samsung ?

The latest Tab (cheaper ones), I think don't come with s-pen

It has been reported that Huawei mobile is getting much less portion of the market. Best to avoid buying them, in my opinion
*
but there is not even one company manufacturing tablet 8 inch and above beside samsung and huawei , putting aside overprice ipad.


Mostly handwriting work or for student on home study using a pen to do some home work.
No matter i search , can't find a tab with Tab A 8.0 with S-pen below 1k.I don't mind lower spec , since not using for anything beyond , just zoom , some whatsapp and email writing signing and student formula study with handwriting.

Maybe , but I am still finding for small tablet.
I can't find any Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.4 (2020) selling at all. Did they stop selling low screen size at malaysia ?
Now everyone wants a tab for zoom and study but not too large and heavy to carry out like 10 inch , wonder when samsung going to release it here ?

"If you’re looking for a new budget tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is coming to Malaysia very soon. Pre-orders are available via retailer Mobile2Go with stocks expected to arrive on 26th June 2021.

According to the listing, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite WiFi is officially priced at RM699 and it comes in either Silver or Grey. Like the “Lite” name suggests, this is the affordable alternative to the 10.4″ Galaxy Tab A7 that was launched last year for RM999.

The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite comes with an 8.7″ TFT display that pushes 1340×800 pixels resolution and it runs on an entry-level MediaTek Helio P22T processor. The device is offered with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage which is expandable via microSD card."

Quoted from the report. Buy this, and don't forget to buy Samsung fast charger, if it is indeed not included in the package.

I check , 8.7″ TFT display with 1340×800 resolution , which is a down side compare to Galaxy tab 2019 s-pen IPS 1920x1200
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab..._lite-10933.php
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab...(2019)-9651.php


There is no smartview which allow mirroring to a smartTV and it's a must feature when I need to mirror to a smartTV for zoom or browse some photo.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Features important to me is just 3 features.
1. Smartview (I though mirroring are the most basic for most tablet and phone) , even some old 2015 budget huawei/xiaomi phone also have this features.I wonder they cut cost until this poor condition.
2. IPS and higher resolution is possible
3. Battery life

Price range between old and new below rm900 if possible.If Tab A7 Lite WiFi is RM699 , I wonder LTE will cost rm800 above.
Compare to old 2019 version.
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...&idPhone3=10483 Downside maybe battery just 4200 mah.

Please let me know if you found this old tablet.Hard to find back those old tablet. sad.gif

In Singapore, the LTE version is S$70 more expensive

Tab A7 Lite WiFi TS-220 is RM699 but there is no LTE version at Malaysia.
Check at Sg price https://www.lazada.sg/catalog/?q=samsung+a7...&location=local around RM899
Hope samsung will bring in LTE version

Someone asked at samsung offcial website on smartview/mirroring or cast but never mention whether it's on wifi or LTE.
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets...ew/td-p/3643292

Anyone here bought Tab A7 Lite WiFi ? can confirm having smartview or mirror cast option ?
