Just got this Tab 2 days ago instead of iPad Mini which I also considered (I hate iPhone btw, but had to admit iPad is great). Overall it'a almost the same as my wife's Tab A 10.1 2016, but with smaller size and updated software. I like the 2016's software though, and it has SPen sensor which will activate Air Command when SPen is taken out. Screen size is perfect and built-in SPen is the deciding factor when buying this tab. Performance-wise, I haven't installed big games on it so I can't really tell, but for sure this tab is not as snappy as it's 2016 brother. But since I meant to use it for light work and watch videos, this tab can deliver that nicely. Would've buy this tab earlier if only it has at least 4gb ram and SD6xx (or its Exynos equiv.), but somehow OEMs only make low spec (like this Tab or iPad mini) or ultra-high spec (like Galaxy Tab 5s) and nothing in between. Mi Pad is perfect but it's not officially available in my country and no Pen whatsoever, while iPad Mini is $100 more expensive and the Pencil is another $80.

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2019Why it is not available in Egypt?? Where ??I don't know why, to be honest. As far as I know, Samsung only released it in latin America and East (Pacific) Asia, excluding Japan and China :(
Fortunately, amazon exists, so you can get it from there if you would like.
Heres the link:
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0" (2019) with S Pen SM-P200 WiFi Black 32GB International Version (No Warranty in The USA) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TS2N27S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nBs9DbW8NQB6R

Jack, 19 Sep 2019Does it have DeX app?No, it does not have DeX.
However, I do recommend using Sentio Desktop, which you can get on Google Play. It's similar to DeX and it's a good alternative to DeX

I checked the Samsung India website and it looks like Samsung is not selling it as far as I'm concerned. You might have to use third party sellers to get this tablet in India

Using this tablet for media consumption and playing video games was pretty good. Although you dont get that amoled screen with the flagship tablets and phones that samsung sells, there was pretty much almost no bezels, which made the viewing experience great. The 1900×1200 screen helps with the viewing experience, compared with the regular Tab A without s-pen. Drawing on it was also pretty good
Overall, I liked it

I want to buy the SM P205 and use it as a phone. But I am wondering if its battery can last for the whole day. Those who use it as regular phone can advise me.

I was planning on buying this tablet today because of the ability to use it to make and receive voice calls but backed out at the last second because I realized Samsung used a TFT LCD PANEL! and not IPS (in Thailand). The screen didn't look as sharp as the Xiaomi mi pad 4 (does not support voice).
