Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Debuts With 8.7-Inch Display, Helio P22T SoC

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has been unveiled as a new “go-to option” for people looking for an affordable Android tablet. As the name suggests, the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a watered-down version of the original Galaxy Tab A7 that debuted in September 2020. The new tablet comes with a metal cover and carries features such as dual speakers with Dolby Atmos and up to 64GB of storage. In addition to the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Tab S7 FE as a new option in the Galaxy Tab S7 lineup. The tablet appeared — at least in Germany — with its price and specifications just earlier this week.
