What you need to know
- Samsung has launched the 2020 Galaxy Tab A 8.4 for $279
- Priding itself on portability, it is available only with LTE.
- It's also available to purchase on Samsung's web-store, albeit a Verizon variant. Other carriers are coming in the following weeks.
Samsung has just announced its new Galaxy Tab A 8.4 which comes with LTE included. It'll set you back $279 at launch, and will support all U.S. carriers over the coming weeks.
Unlike the Galaxy Tab S6, this isn't a productivity machine. It's meant to be used at home or tossed in a backpack for reading a book or watching a video while in transit. As such, Samsung plays up its compact and light metal design, long battery life, and LTE connectivity. If the battery runs out, there's also USB-C connectivity for fast charging so you can get back on your feet.
Here's what Samsung has under the hood of this lithe new tool:
