The new Galaxy Tab A and Galaxy Tab A with S Pen offers a lightweight portable tablet for the everyday Australian.

SYDNEY, Australia – June 4, 2015 – Samsung Electronics Australia today announced the local launch of the 8.0-inch and 9.7-inch Galaxy Tab A and Galaxy Tab A with S Pen tablets. Featuring a lightweight portable design, a wealth of content offerings, and multiple personalised logins for different members of the family, the Galaxy Tab A is a great addition to any Australian household.

“The new Galaxy Tab A offers long lasting battery life, access to apps and an outstanding viewing experience while the Galaxy Tab A with S Pen offers all of these along with advanced stylus technology. As the Australian household becomes increasingly digital, it is essential to offer a tablet that is ideal for those who require a versatile product – whether used by Australians jotting down notes on-the-go or the kids playing their favourite educational games at home,” said Prasad Gokhale, Vice President – IT & Mobile – Samsung Electronics Australia. “The new Galaxy Tab A tablets expand our offerings to once again reaffirm our strong commitment to delivering a great tablet for all Australians.” 

Intuitive S Pen (available with Galaxy Tab A with S Pen models only) 

The enhanced S Pen on the Galaxy Tab A with S Pen offers intuitive ways to get things done. Jot down phone numbers, contact info, even text messages and Samsung’s handwriting-to-text engine can automatically convert notes to text. Help save time by hovering the S Pen over the screen and pressing the button on the side to bring up the Air Command menu. It gives quick, easy access to helpful functions.

For the everyday Australian

Kids Mode helps keep personal content – and more importantly, the kids – safe and secure.

Multi Window allows for easy multitasking and using Microsoft Office for Android™, family members can review and save changes to Word, PowerPoint, and Excel¹ directly on the tablet.

Plus, with an additional 100 GB of storage on Microsoft OneDrive, complimentary for two years², families can keep their favourite photos, videos and documents in one place.

The Galaxy Tab A also comes loaded with a variety of Galaxy Essentials and Galaxy Gifts from premium mobile content and service providers, available via download and chosen to make the experience with the device even more enjoyable.
