Battery Life

• The tablet has an impressive battery life of 6 to 8 hours regardless of usage.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 offers great value for its price point. Its battery life is impressive while its charging speed may not be as fast as other tablets in its price range. However, it makes up for it with solid performance and affordability.
