Samsung has officially introduced the Galaxy Tab A11+ in India, expanding its budget tablet segment with a more capable and productivity-friendly model above the standard Galaxy Tab A11. After being launched in global markets earlier this year, the Tab A11+ is now available in India, targeting students, casual entertainment users, and individuals seeking a large screen without moving into the premium Galaxy Tab S lineup.
Price and Variants
Samsung is offering the Galaxy Tab A11+ in four configurations across Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + cellular options.
6GB RAM + 128GB (Wi-Fi): ₹22,999
6GB RAM + 128GB (Cellular): ₹26,999
8GB RAM + 256GB (Wi-Fi): ₹28,999
8GB RAM + 256GB (Cellular): ₹32,999
All models are available in Grey and Silver, and buyers can avail a ₹3,000 cashback on each variant. The tablet is already on sale through Amazon and Samsung’s official online store.
Display and Design Upgrades
The Tab A11+ carries a design similar to the standard Tab A11 but brings noticeable upgrades. It now features a larger 11-inch TFT LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, offering smoother visuals and a more immersive viewing experience compared to the smaller 8.7-inch panel on the Tab A11. Weighing under 500g and equipped with an IP52 rating, the tablet maintains portability while providing basic dust and splash resistance.
Performance and Software Experience
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7030 chipset, paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. While not designed for heavy performance tasks or gaming, the hardware is well-optimized for web browsing, OTT streaming, attending classes, taking notes, and light multitasking.
One of the standout features of the Tab A11+ is the inclusion of Samsung DeX, marking a first for budget tablets in this price bracket. DeX mode allows users to connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, transforming the tablet into a PC-like environment with resizable windows and a desktop-style interface. This makes it particularly appealing for students managing assignments or users who need a basic productivity setup.
Battery and Charging
Samsung has equipped the device with a 7,040mAh battery supporting 25W fast charging. While competitors such as POCO and Redmi offer larger 10,000mAh batteries, Samsung’s software optimisation may help the tablet last through a full work or school day.
Camera and Multimedia
The Galaxy Tab A11+ continues with a simple camera setup—an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. While tablets in this segment generally do not prioritise imaging, the configuration is adequate for video calls and basic photography.
For entertainment, the tablet includes quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, making it suitable for multimedia consumption. Competing devices such as the OnePlus Pad Go, POCO Pad, and Redmi Pad Pro offer similar audio enhancements, keeping the Tab A11+ well-aligned within the segment.
Competitive Edge and Long-term Support
In the ₹20,000–₹30,000 tablet market, the closest rivals to the Tab A11+ are the Redmi Pad Pro, POCO Pad and OnePlus Pad Go. While these models deliver competitive hardware, Samsung strongly differentiates itself with an exceptional seven years of OS and security updates—a massive leap over the two to three years offered by rivals. Even within Samsung’s lineup, this marks a significant improvement for the A-series tablets.

With its large 90Hz display, DeX mode, strong software support and Samsung’s trusted ecosystem, it stands out as one of the most well-rounded options in the mid-budget tablet segment. It fits neatly above the regular Tab A11 while staying below the more premium Tab S10 Lite, offering buyers another well-defined choice based on performance and budget needs.
