Based on speed... THIS SAMSUNG is faster. It is considered "one" generation faster about 30% faster.
The MT8775 is almost as fast as the SnapDragon 6 Gen 1, while the Sd 6 Gen 1 has a better GPU, the CPU's are pretty equal in speed. To put things in prespective, I purchased my Alldocube Iplay 60 Mini Turbo well over a year ago, it has the SnapDragon 6 Gen 1 CPU and I got it for $140ish before the Trump tariffs.
This tablet still has the TFT screen (big let down) and only has 6GB of RAM. Starting with Android 16 in 2026, Google has effectively established 6GB of RAM as the new minimum requirement for devices to run the "full" Android experience with Google Mobile Services (GMS).
Really, people should have 8GB of RAM if you want to keep this tablet for years to come.
The Galaxy Tab A11 Plus stands out as a fast budget 11 inch Android tablet with Samsung One UI, which adds productivity features beyond stock Android and comes with six years of updates. The 128GB storage and 6GB RAM configuration is described as snappy enough for normal tasks, streaming, and everyday use, and the tablet feels faster than the older A9 Plus. The $20 Walmart Cash also applied without Walmart Plus. Main concerns are the TFT display, the modest 6GB memory for long term use, and heavy Samsung bloatware and AppCloud privacy worries. A stronger 8GB version is also mentioned for longer ownership.
people who want a cheap 11-inch tablet for Netflix/YouTube streaming because commenters said the CPU is "trash" for heavy use but it's still "ok" for basic streaming.
buyers upgrading from an older Galaxy Tab A9+ case/size because one commenter said the A11+ feels faster than their A9+ and that the A9+ case fits the A11+ (same size).
people who care about long software support at a low price because commenters highlighted Samsung's tablet One UI productivity and said the "six years of updates" promise is unusual at this price level.
buyers who mainly use the tablet for normal tasks and don't expect high-end performance because one commenter said their Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 tablet with 8GB RAM feels speedy for normal tasks, and this deal is positioned as a step up from very low-spec tablets.
privacy- or security-focused shoppers who don't want pre-installed ad/recommendation software because multiple commenters warned about AppCloud/ironSource being deeply embedded, hard to remove, and described it as spyware/malware or a privacy risk.
people who want the best display for movies with deep blacks because commenters said this model uses cheaper TFT/LCD-style tech and contrasted it with OLED tablets (like Tab S4) where black levels and contrast are much better.
buyers who plan to keep the tablet for years and want more headroom because commenters criticized the 128GB/6GB configuration, saying it only has 6GB RAM and arguing 8GB is preferable for longevity.
buyers who are relying on Google Play system updates to stay current because commenters claimed Samsung may leave Google Play system services stuck on older versions, which they said can create security and app-compatibility issues.
people who want a tablet that's clearly better than competing budget Android options because one commenter specifically asked whether it's better than the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus around $200, implying buyers comparing alternatives may find the value/performance tradeoffs debatable.
It is reported to feel faster than the A9+, and one comparison puts the new CPU about 30% ahead of the older model. The A11+ also keeps the same physical size as the A9+, so older cases can fit.
If you plan to keep it for years, the 8GB version is the safer pick. The 6GB model is seen as the minimum for future Android support, while the 8GB version is recommended for better longevity and smoother multitasking.
It is considered fine for Netflix and YouTube, but not a strong choice for heavier apps or gaming. The screen is also described as TFT/PLS-class rather than OLED, so it is better suited to everyday media than premium display use.
Yes. The $20 Walmart Cash was available and applied on the order without Walmart+ required. That makes the effective deal better than the sticker price for shoppers who can use Walmart Cash.
30% doesn't say much because the A9 was already 30% too slow. Lol
Also, the sd gen 1 is not that great. I have a phone with that CPU.. it's barely usable to me.
We are talking about "the lowest specs" to buy today. My SD 6 gen 1 is paired with 8Gb of RAM... I find it speedy enough for normal tasks. But I have that tablet in a draw and it almost never gets used... currently using Redmagic Astra Gaming Tablet.
Thanks. Debating whether to get this or pay $100 more for the ipad A16.
If you don't illegally stream, and you don't illegally try to use "Youtube Vanced" or you don't install any paywall bypassers... MOST PEOPLE DO NOT DO THESE THINGS...
Truly, a iPad is the way to go. Specs wise... they are way better then Android's cheapest tablets such as this one.

Me... I do those things, I need an Android.
I do like how long Apple supports their products with software updates while Android devices are more hit or miss.

The ipad is the best value for a budget tablet. I don't even think any android tablet comes close to the value.
It is not the ipad that scares me about apple... it is the mac book pro, their flagship phone, ect... besides their tablet, apple is too expensive.
I will add that Apple is way safer then Android.
Me personally... I am a bit of a PC geek (at least I use to be) and I am a bit of a andorid geek (at least I think I am)... I will never leave those eco systems... but that is me.
I actually have respect for apple products now that Samsung has F'ed it up so badly.

Good budget tablet with updates and Samsung Dex. Don't bother with those no-name China tablets filled with cryptoware that crazy dude in this thread always recommends.

Do you think on future posts you can expand a bit more? I feel you're holding back.
Doesn't appear to be any real controversy here, just another bloatware loaded tablet to subsidize an already mediocre price. I mean it's great that it's not $300-400 USD, but not all costs are dollars & cents.
So why does Chinese tablets cost so much less money and have so much better specs? Like... you think this is a $400 tablet???? And paid bloatware is the answer to keep the price down!!!!
I DO NOT THINK SO!!!!
WOW... don't even know where to start but lets say that Samsung has some of the lowest costs in the world to MAKE their devices... but you still think it costs 300- 400!!! When small startups can sell better hardware for less money.

Maybe read the comment again, I was agreeing with you...
Unless you need the 90hz display or android, I think a base ipad would be a better deal. It's usually down to $249 I think, and it is WAY faster with better software support.
