  • Long-lasting battery life, often cited as lasting over 10 hours of active use
  • High-quality 10.1-inch WUXGA (1920x1200) display with good brightness and vivid colors
  • Responsive performance for everyday tasks like web browsing and video streaming
  • Good value for money, frequently described as an affordable alternative to premium tablets
  • Sturdy build quality that feels more expensive than its plastic casing suggests

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10 1 Sm T585 4G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Extremely limited 16GB internal storage, with much of it occupied by the operating system
  • Slow charging times due to the large battery and lack of fast-charging support
  • Speakers are positioned only on one side (bottom), resulting in poor stereo effect in landscape mode
  • Average camera performance, particularly in low-light conditions
  • Lack of ambient light sensor for automatic brightness in some regional variants
  • No NFC support or notification LED
  • Occasional software lag when running demanding 3D games

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-T585 is a 4G-enabled tablet featuring a 10.1-inch WUXGA PLS LCD display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It is powered by a 1.6 GHz Exynos 7870 octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 7300mAh battery, running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Key advantages include its crisp, high-resolution screen, integrated LTE connectivity for mobile data, and impressive battery life suitable for long media consumption sessions. However, the device is limited by its small 16GB of internal storage—leaving only about 10.5GB available to the user—as well as average camera performance and a lack of backlit navigation buttons.
