It belongs to the mid-range "A" series, which also includes the 7-inch model and, in the past, the 8- and 9.7-inch models. It was released in May 2016;[1][2] theS-Pen (stylus) version was released in September 2016.[3][4] A refreshed version of the tablet would later be released in 2019, with some aspects, such as the battery, being reduced, while other components were upgraded.
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 comes withAndroid 6.0 Marshmallow, customized withTouchWiz software andSamsung apps such as S Planner, WatchON, Smart Stay, Multi-Window, Group Play, and theS-Pen suite for the S-Pen version.
As of 2018, the tablet runsSamsung Experience 9.5, based onAndroid 8.1.0 Oreo.
The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is available in WiFi-only and4G/LTE &Wi-Fi variants. It has a 10.1-inchPLS LCD screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.

The tablet is extremely thin but is also durable. It has only one physical button at the front, which is the home button, and has three more buttons at the right-hand side of the tablet, one power button, one volume up button, and one volume down button. There are also two soft buttons present at the front of the screen. One recents and one back button.
The NotebookCheck site praised the tablet's connectivity and GPS, battery life, and responsiveness in general applications, but criticized the camera's performance, slow responsiveness of the screen during gaming, and subpar speaker performance -especially noting the absence of bass and sound originating from only one side of the device in landscape mode- and slow drive sequential write speeds.[5]
A new version of the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 was announced in February 2019 (models SM-T510 & SM-T515), withAndroid 9 Pie (upgradable toAndroid 11), theExynos 7904 chipset, and anIPS display with unchanged resolution. The rear flash is removed, S-Pen support is dropped and the battery is smaller, while the front camera is upgraded to 5 MP and the speakers are now stereo.[6]
