Samsung has quietly announced two new budget-friendly tablets: the Galaxy Tab A11 and the larger Tab A11+. The pair target everyday users who want a smooth display, long software support and expandable storage without breaking the bank.
Key specs and what differs between the two
The Galaxy Tab A11 arrives first in several markets, while the Tab A11+ is scheduled for release by the end of 2025. The smaller Tab A11 features an 8.7-inch LCD, and the A11+ steps up to an 11-inch LCD; both panels run at 90Hz for smoother scrolling and animations. Each tablet keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack and supports Dolby Atmos for better audio from speakers or wired headphones.
Storage is expandable on both models with microSD cards up to 2TB. Memory and storage options differ: the 128GB SKU doubles the RAM to 8GB versus 4GB on the 64GB model. Samsung also promises seven years of OS and security updates for the 11-series tablets, which is a notable commitment in this price tier.
Battery, charging and performance notes
The Tab A11 packs a 5,400mAh battery, while the A11+ houses a larger 7,040mAh cell. The plus model supports 25W charging; Samsung hasn’t confirmed the A11's charging speed, but it’s likely closer to 15W based on previous entry-level Galaxy slates. Internally, the Tab A11 is powered by MediaTek's Helio G99. The chipset for the A11+ has not been disclosed yet.
DeX support and productivity
A major reason to wait for the A11+ is Samsung DeX support. DeX on a low-cost tablet expands multitasking capabilities and gives a desktop-like interface, though details such as whether a USB 3.0 port is included remain unknown. Even if DeX runs only on the tablet display, it can still be useful for split-screen workflows and faster app switching.
Pricing, variants and availability
Samsung has started rolling out the Tab A11 in regions like Ireland, where shipping begins October 2. Pricing for the Wi-Fi Tab A11 varies by market: in Ireland it is priced at €180 for 4/64GB and €230 for 8/128GB. In the UK the 4/64GB model is £150. In India the Tab A11 is listed at ₹13,000 for 4/64GB and ₹18,000 for 8/128GB. A 5G variant appears in some markets; India pricing for 5G models is about ₹16,000 for 64GB and ₹21,000 for 128GB.

Both tablets come in Silver and Gray finishes. The A11+ price has not yet been revealed, and several technical details are still pending from Samsung.
Conclusion
The Galaxy Tab A11 and A11+ offer a compelling feature set for budget-conscious buyers: 90Hz displays, long-term updates, microSD expansion and Dolby Atmos. If you need basic multitasking with DeX and a bigger battery, the A11+ is the one to watch—just be prepared to wait until later in 2025 for its arrival and final pricing.
