The 2 MP camera of course can't quite match those numbers. The camera features an aperture of F1.9, LED flash and autofocus and supports Full-HD video at up to 30 fps. When reducing the pixel count to 3264 x 1836, an aspect ratio of 16:9 is possible as well. The 8 MP main camera produces photos that measure up to 3264 x 2448 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Only the Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A30 is slightly heavier, while the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 is the lightest contender at 456 grams because of its smaller form factor. The Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) is comparatively heavy at 525 grams. The tablet can be propped up at a slight angle to making watching videos or typing a more enjoyable experience.

The back of the case is slightly magnetic - the optional Book Cover attaches that way. Even then, there are no creaking sounds, although the picture is affected in some areas. The 10.1-inch is definitely sturdy enough for daily use - it takes quite a bit of force to twist the 8.2 mm thick slate. The back is slightly rubberized and is easy to grip and hold as a result. We wouldn't use the words "high-end" or "upscale" to describe the design, but the unobtrusive polycarbonate case does what it's supposed to do, it's quite sturdy, impresses with the seamless integration of the display into the bezel and - all things considered - doesn't look cheap at all. Instead, the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) is made out of plastic, with white and black being the only two color choices. To keep the price affordable, Samsung elected to not include some nice-to-haves - for example a metal chassis.
