Our take on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (8.7-inch) Tablet (SM-T227U) Unlocked - 32GB

The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is Samsung's smallest, cheapest tablet: an 8.7-inch 800 x 1340 TFT LCD, a MediaTek Helio P22T octa-core chip, 32GB of storage and Android 11 upgradable to Android 12. This SM-T227U version is unlocked for T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon in the US, so it works on cellular as well as Wi-Fi. It is built for light jobs: reading, video, browsing, email and kids' apps. Against rivals like the Amazon Fire HD 8 it adds cellular and full Google Play access, but its screen and processor are basic, and reviewers find it slow with heavy multitasking.
