Samsung might be about to unveil its premium Galaxy Tab S11, but it hasn’t forgotten about the budget crowd. A new listing on Geekbench points to the Galaxy Tab A11 4G (model SM-X135F), a follow-up to the Tab A9 that looks set to keep things firmly in the entry-level lane.
According to the benchmark, the Tab A11 4G will ship with MediaTek’s Helio G99 — the same three-year-old processor found in last year’s Tab A9. It’s paired with 4GB of RAM, a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, and runs Android 15 out of the box. Performance numbers land at 729 for single-core and 1,962 for multi-core in Geekbench 6, which puts it right in line with other budget tablets running the same silicon.
That’s not necessarily surprising, since the Helio G99 has become something of a default pick for affordable Android slates. OnePlus, Lenovo, and Redmi all rely on the same chip (or its near-identical sibling, the G100), so Samsung is hardly alone here. The G99 is an octa-core design with two Cortex-A76 performance cores at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 2.0GHz — fine for video streaming, browsing, and light gaming, but nowhere near the firepower of Snapdragon 8-series or Apple’s M-chips.
What remains to be seen is whether Samsung plans any real upgrades beyond the processor. The Tab A9 packed an 8.7-inch TFT display, stereo speakers, a 5,100mAh battery with 15W charging, and even a headphone jack. For the A11 to stand out, Samsung may need to stretch the screen a bit, shrink the bezels, or tweak the cameras.
Whenever it launches, the Galaxy Tab A11 4G is shaping up to be a straightforward, no-frills tablet aimed at users who want a reliable, budget-friendly device without expecting much more.
