I needed a cheap tablet for a project and I still cannot stand Chinese OS and the 🍎 were still too expensive and also didn't want a second hand tablet, so after some extensive research I came around this little wonder Samsung entry level tablet A11+, which except for the screen it doesn't feel very entry level and more like a premium device.
It features a 11 inch TFT LCD display which apart from the fact that the colours don't feel dense, it's still decent to look at and pleasant to the eye, and the 90 Hz refresh rate feels more like 120 Hz most of the time.
Samsung did a great job with the animations, the system is extremely responsive. I did not use it for a very long time yet, but I am super impressed with it.
This is the first Samsung entry level tablet that comes with some AI features out of the box.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ (released late 2025) supports several AI features, marking a shift to bring "intelligent tools" to the budget-friendly A-series lineup.
AI features on the Tab A11+ include:
Circle to Search with Google: Allows searching for on-screen information with a gesture.
Google Gemini: Acts as an AI-driven assistant.
Math Solver in Samsung Notes: Solves equations.
Object Eraser: Available in the gallery for photo editing.
The A11 may not support any AI features, I don't know yet.
This tablet does not support SPen because it lacks the hardware, it can be used with third party capacitive Pen like the ones with thick rubber or mesh tip.
This tablet comes around £270 for the 256 MB and it's a very decent choice for media consumption or writing notes as long as an SPen isn't required.
Samsung has really hit the nail with this device.
I am sure it's smaller sibling, A11 which features a 8.7 inch screen is just as good and I can tell they are a mile away from previous models.
The tablet is provided with charging cable in the box but no other accessories.
