This is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. It was released in May of 2016 by Samsung and I bought this particular one that summer. The model number is T580.

As of January 1, 2026, the tablet is still running as usual. There is a slight problem with the battery in that it cannot fully charge up to 100%, but will hover around 91%.

The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 came with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but due to updates in 2018, it runs Samsung Experience 9.5, based on Android 8.1.0 Oreo.

It has a 10.1-inch PLS LCD screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. It also has a 2 MP front camera without flash and a rear-facing 8.0 MP F1.9 AF camera with flash. It has various camera modes like Sports, Beauty, HDR, Auto, Night, Continuous Shot, Pro mode and Panorama.

The CPU is 1.6 GHz Octa-Core ARM Cortex-A53. It also has 2GB of memory.

For a 10 year old low to midrange tablet, I think it's kinda crazy that you can find them on Amazon for more than 300 bucks. That's ridiculous. It isn't worth 50 bucks.

New Case?

My current faux leather case is coming apart and leaving little bits of the black fake leather all over the place. You can't use the tablet unless you want the shit all over your clothes. It is time to upgrade the case for an un-up-gradable tablet...
