On the camera front, the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 S will allow capturing images with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. There will be a 5,000mAh battery in the tablet, which will keep the lights on while the tablet should boot Android 7.1 Nougat. There are chances for a higher OS, as nowadays devices are coming from the box with Android 7.1.1 Nougat. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 S will be made available in Black and Gold color variants.
According to the previous listings, Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2017 now known as Galaxy Tab A2 S is rumored to be a budget friendly tablet, which will feature the 8.0-inch display with a resolution of 1200 x 800 pixels.
