Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ review

I haven't used the Galaxy Tab A11+. This review comes from two places: Samsung's US product page, which I read on November 7, 2026, and Notebookcheck's review verdict from January 18, 2026. Notebookcheck is the only outlet with a published test, and I worked from its verdict page. The 7.0 is my opinion of the two.

The money first. Samsung's US store price for the base model, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, is $299.99Not verifiedNot verified as of November 1, 2026. No sale is running.

What Notebookcheck found

Notebookcheck likes it. The verdict is positive, and it credits the tablet's well-rounded set of features. It calls the chip pretty fast, with some headroom for more demanding apps. For a tablet at the bottom of Samsung's range, that's the part I care about most.

One flaw: the display shows a slight blue tint. It won't bother you on Netflix. If you edit photos on a tablet, I'd look elsewhere.

Samsung's battery figure is 7,040 mAh. That's capacity, not runtime, and I have no runtime result I'd stand behind.

The chip has two names

Samsung lists a MediaTek MT8775. Notebookcheck calls it a Dimensity 7300. I'm printing both, because the two pages disagree and neither explains why.

No pen, no charger

This is where the A11+ cuts corners. It doesn't work with the S Pen, per Samsung. If you want handwritten notes or sketches, this isn't your tablet.

Then there's charging. Samsung advertises 25W Super Fast Charging and sells the charger separately. This annoys me. The headline charging speed needs a part you buy on top of the tablet ($299.99Not verifiedNot verified). Check the brick you already own before you count on that speed.

What Samsung doesn't tell you

The US product page lists no weight, no thickness, no operating system and no release date. For a tablet you'll hold in bed, weight matters. Ask the store or wait for a full test that weighs it.

Samsung also says the screen runs at "up to 90 Hz". Note the "up to".

Who I'd buy it for

Readers, streamers, kids. The microSD slot takes cards up to 2 TB, which makes 128 GB of built-in storage plenty. I'd buy the base model and spend a little on a card, not on the 256 GB version.

I'd skip it if you need a pen, if color matters for your work, or if you'd rather wait for a second outlet to back up Notebookcheck. One verdict page is thin evidence.
