Last year, Samsung introduced three main lines of tablets to the market: a top-end Galaxy Tab S2, "medium" Galaxy Tab A and budget Galaxy Tab E. The Galaxy Tab A line has become the most controversial. These tablets had fairly good hardware, but were equipped with low-resolution screens, made in a plastic case, and had a very simple design. Despite the worse parameters, the Galaxy Tab E line looked more interesting, and Samsung decided to “work on the bugs.” In 2016, Samsung introduced an inexpensive 7-inch model Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016), which was originally planned to be released as the Galaxy Tab E 7.0, followed by a 10-inch tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585, which we will talk about today. Let us note that this is far from a budget device. This is justified by the fact that this tablet has pretty good hardware, it is equipped with a high-quality screen, and also has impressive performance and battery life.

Design

Samsung started seriously thinking about changing the design of its devices in 2014, starting with the smartphone Galaxy Alpha. A little later, the design of tablets was also changed, including the Galaxy A line. Despite the fact that from a design point of view, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ is similar to its predecessors, something is fundamentally different about it. Taking the tablet in your hands, you immediately understand what makes it different: there is a very thin frame around the screen, and the buttons are placed on the narrow side, which implies more frequent use of the tablet in portrait orientation. Thin bezels make the 10.1-inch tablet smaller and fit better in your hands. Compared to the Galaxy Tab A 9.7, the tablet has become narrower, but has increased in height, thickness and weight. If everything is clear with the height (Samsung returned the previous screen aspect ratio of 16:10), then the thickness (8.2 mm) and weight (525 grams) can be attributed to the battery capacity increasing from 6000 to 7300 mAh.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ is made in a completely plastic case and comes in one of three colors: black, white and dark blue.
As for the build quality, there are no complaints here. Due to the fact that the tablet is made in a non-separable case, it does not creak or play anywhere.

Controls and Connectors

In terms of layout, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ is a fairly standard tablet. On the front panel above the screen there is a front camera lens and the manufacturer's logo, conversational dynamics No.
Below, under the screen, there are three familiar buttons: the mechanical “Home” and the touch “Task Manager” and “Back”. The buttons are not backlit.
At the top of the back panel is the main camera, next to which you can see the flash. It would seem, what's special about this? And the fact that Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 is the first samsung tablet, whose camera is equipped with a flash. Even Galaxy flagship Tab S2 doesn't have it.
On the right side of the tablet there is a power button, a volume rocker and two compartments: one for a memory card, and the second for SIM cards.
There are no elements on the left side of the tablet.
The compartments are covered with folding caps. The memory card and SIM card are inserted inside until a characteristic click is heard. Note that a nanoSIM format card is used for communication.
On the bottom edge of the tablet there are two fairly loud speakers, and on the top end there is a 3.5 mm audio jack, a microUSB port and a microphone. In general, the ergonomics of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ are all right. Separately, it is worth noting that on the back of the tablet there are magnets for a branded case.


Display

As we have already said, the main disadvantage of the previous Samsung lines Galaxy Tab A had a low display resolution. The screen itself was of high quality, had good brightness and large viewing angles, but the resolution of 1024x768 was clearly not enough. As a result, the display on the 10-inch model was quite grainy and had a PPI value of 132, which is only slightly higher than most desktop monitors and laptops. But we need to take into account that we usually look at the monitor from a greater distance, so graininess is not as noticeable as on a tablet. “Last year’s” tablets had a screen aspect ratio of 4:3, and in the Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ the company returned to the “elongated” display geometry of 16:10, thanks to which it was able to provide a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels without unnecessary difficulties, while the density screen is 224 ppi. The tablet's display has definitely improved, making it more competitive in its price range. Unfortunately, the tablet uses a PLS screen, which is far from a Super AMOLED matrix, but overall the display looks pretty good. For reference, the PLS matrix is ​​a development by Samsung, which is an analogue of IPS technology from LG. This matrix provides natural colors, wide viewing angles, and decent color rendition. Maximum brightness The screen in the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ reaches a value of 408.45 cd/m2, which is an excellent indicator for a tablet. The black color is not as deep as we would like - 0.45 cd/m2, so in the dark it looks somewhat grayish. The screen contrast is good, but not record-breaking: 908:1.
The screen's color gamut covers the sRGB color space almost perfectly, all colors are displayed correctly. The gamma curve also looks very good. At the bottom it drops slightly below the reference 2.2 curve, which means dark parts of the image are rendered a little darker than desired. But this is unlikely to be noticeable to the eye.
The display easily recognizes up to 10 simultaneous touches, and has a fairly standard settings. It's nice that Samsung didn't remove auto brightness control, as in inexpensive smartphones with AMOLED screens. So we can give this verdict Samsung display Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″: high quality, with high resolution and excellent color rendition. If we compare the Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 with previous models, its screen has become much better.

"Stuffing" of the tablet

In 2016, Samsung decided to reconsider its line of tablets. Thus, the “successor” of the Galaxy Tab E series did not appear on the market, and the 7-inch Galaxy Tab A 7.0 became the most budget-friendly. Together with it, the company presented our Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″. The company should also present the Galaxy Tab S3 approximately in late summer or early autumn. Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7, the hardware of the Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ tablet has been significantly improved. Not only the screen has changed, but also the processor, camera, and the battery capacity has also increased. The tablet’s performance is driven by the Samsung Exynos 7870 processor, which is noticeably stronger than what was installed in “last year’s” model. The same processor is used in Galaxy smartphone J7 (2016), and shows good performance. The chipset consists of 8 Cortex-A53 cores operating at 1.6 GHz. At the same time, a modern 14-nm technical process is used for its manufacture, thanks to which the chipset does not heat up and has low power consumption. The Mali-T830 MP2 graphics processor, which can be classified as a mid-class accelerator, is responsible for processing graphics in the tablet. The tablet uses 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of flash memory, which is a common indicator for budget devices. In general, based on the combination of characteristics of the processor, display, memory, camera and Galaxy batteries The Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ is a fairly balanced tablet.

Synthetic tests and games

Now let's see how the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ tablet is superior in performance to “last year’s” Galaxy Tab A 9.7.




The tablet handles most tasks without any problems. modern games, and thanks big screen It's a pleasure to play on it. We installed games such as: Riptide GP2, Modern Combat 5, N.O.V.A. 3, Dead Trigger 2, Real Racing 3, Need For Speed: No Limits, Shadowgun: Dead Zone, Frontline Commando: Normandy, Frontline Commando 2, Eternity Warriors 4, Trial Xtreme 4, Dead Effect 2 and Dead Target. The tablet did not slow down in any game.

Communication capabilities

If we talk about the communication capabilities of the tablet, we can note support for Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11n, the LTE standard, which is not yet available in our country, as well as GPS and GLONASS. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ finds satellites very quickly, making it quite suitable for use as a car or pedestrian navigator. In addition, the tablet, like most other Samsung devices, has DLNA support, which allows you to display images on the TV screen via Wi-Fi.

Cameras

For some reason unknown to us, Samsung does not pay enough attention to tablet cameras. Even the expensive Galaxy Tab S2 has a rather average camera and is not equipped with a flash. Considering all of the above, it’s nice that the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ tablet is an exception to these rules. Compared to Galaxy Tab A 2015 resolution Galaxy cameras Tab A SM-T585 increased from 5 to 8 megapixels, and a flash was added.
The tablet uses the camera application familiar to other Samsung products. There are several modes, including the Pro mode, where parameters such as white balance, light sensitivity and exposure compensation can be adjusted. Maximum resolution shooting is achieved with an aspect ratio of 4:3. The camera allows you to take pretty good photos, and if you compare them with images obtained using other tablets, the photos can safely be called good. The best photos come out during the day, in good weather. On a sunny day they are sharp and have the correct white balance. When there is not enough light, the camera sometimes misses focusing, and the clarity of the pictures drops noticeably. Examples of photos taken with the main camera:


The tablet shoots video at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, while the 2015 Galaxy Tab A was only capable of 1280x720 resolution.

Front camera in the tablet - 2 megapixel. It doesn’t have as many settings as the main one, but it doesn’t really need them. Examples of photos taken using the front camera:


Software

Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ is the company’s first tablet with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. Released just a few months earlier, the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) was deprived of such a privilege - it runs under the operating system Android systems 5.1. In general, the external interface of the tablet is similar to the interface previous version Android. This similarity can be seen primarily due to the fact that all Samsung mobile devices use the TouchWIZ shell, which in Android 6.0 Marshmallow was only slightly repainted and slightly modernized, leaving without any fundamental changes. Although the tablet is used in portrait mode most of the time, it software perfectly configured for horizontal orientation. One of the most noticeable and pleasant changes in the TouchWIZ shell for Android 6.0 Marshmallow is the ability to “pull” the panel from quick settings. A pleasant surprise was the presence of Galaxy Essentials and Galaxy Gift sections in the Galaxy Gifts store in the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″. They can usually be seen on fairly expensive Samsung devices, from which we can conclude that Samsung classifies this tablet as at least middle class. In these sections you can find some additional software, as well as subscriptions to various publications and services.
operating system works in 64-bit mode. In general, due to excellent optimization, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ interface does not slow down and works without any glitches.

Battery, autonomy

In terms of battery life, we were very pleased with the Samsung tablet. The Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ has a 7300 mAh battery, which is enough for 2-3 days of operation under medium loads.

The greatest energy consumption, as usual, occurred in 3D games, while all other tasks consume very little power. The proprietary Smart Manager utility is responsible for optimizing the operation of the tablet and its system, and accordingly, the battery consumption. If you want to achieve maximum autonomy, you can turn on the extreme power saving mode.

Pros and cons of the tablet

Pros of Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″:+ High-quality screen; + Quite productive “filling”; + Latest version Android: + 8 megapixel main camera with flash; + Good autonomy Cons of Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″:— Plastic case; — Lack of backlighting of touch buttons.

Conclusion

In our opinion, Samsung I managed to create a well-balanced tablet. Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ has a modern design, high-quality build and good battery life. It's great that the company listened to customers and increased the tablet's screen resolution, as well as its performance. Thanks to all this, the Galaxy Tab A SM-T585 10.1″ can handle most modern games, and its interface works smoothly, without any jerks or glitches. Perhaps someone will say that a model with similar parameters from another manufacturer can be found cheaper, but it is important that the tablet’s hardware be well balanced with its software, which not every manufacturer can do. Samsung is now the leader in the field mobile technologies, and this company can be trusted.

Samsung introduced new tablet this year from the Galaxy Tab A line - it was a model called SM-T280. The device is a 7-inch mid-range gadget with a low price.

The company has released a small but functional gadget for its customers

Let's take a more detailed review of the characteristics of the new model, learn about its parameters and the capabilities it provides to the user.

Scope of delivery

The delivery set, as before, is minimal - documentation, cable for connecting via USB and charger. Nothing new, unusual or unnecessary. Headphones or case, protective film Everyone acquires on the screen according to their wishes.

Design

As is customary with this manufacturer, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 is outwardly simple in design, but looks attractive - the designers’ sense of style does not disappear over time. The tablet is available in black and white colors.

The manufacturer's logo is located on the top of the front and the manufacturer's logo on the bottom. function key, on either side of it there are two touch buttons. On the back you can see the camera connector, on the side of it there is a speaker and another reminder of who released this gadget.

The body is made of matte plastic and looks beautiful and dignified. The dimensions are quite compact, the device can be easily carried with you, and it weighs little. Similar solution determines and - the device is well suited for the user for work, study, travel, as it is convenient to take with you.

Generally external design does not cause any complaints and will appeal to many buyers; the device will fit well into any environment, which makes it universal.

Screen

The model is equipped with a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels, guaranteeing good quality images. This diagonal is the most popular among users, as it is convenient for watching movies or web pages, but at the same time the tablet remains compact and mobile, so you can always have it at hand.

It is worth noting that IPS screens, like this Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016, are notable for their quality and are the best option for this type of technology. They are inexpensive and provide colorful images with large viewing angles. Such a display will cope perfectly with basic tasks - such as watching videos or photos, reading, surfing the Internet.

Performance

The tablet comes with an Exynos 3475 processor, which consists of 4 cores and has clock frequency 1.3 GHz. Performance is also affected RAM, the volume of which in the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 is 1.5 GB. Combining the characteristics, we conclude that the tablet has decent performance, which is enough for a mid-class device.

Such parameters are enough for everyday tasks - using the Internet, watching videos or movies, reading and working in applications, even if all this happens at the same time. Naturally, a tablet cannot be considered a gaming tablet - equipment with such specialization is much more expensive, since games require more powerful parameters.

Of course, you can play on this device, but the graphics are unlikely to be the most realistic, and demanding applications may not be displayed correctly. So the tablet can be used mainly for work, and on the road it will come in handy as a compact multimedia center.

Multimedia capabilities

About multimedia Samsung capabilities Galaxy Tab A 2016 can be judged based on its screen, performance and sound parameters. If we talk about the screen, its quality will allow you to enjoy a beautiful picture of a movie, video or photos, and the 7-inch size also plays in its favor.

The tablet's speaker is located on the back, close to the camera but not on the edge, so you won't be muted when holding the device. It produces a pretty good loud and clear sound. The model's performance is sufficient to fully perform all multimedia-related tasks. The system provides 8 GB of memory for storing files - not much, but the tablet can easily read cards up to 200 GB in size. Therefore, you will have somewhere to store all your books, documents, photos and TV series, and the main space is better used for applications.
