The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is aimed at creatives.
The S Pen is very responsive, even though you’re writing on slippery glass. But some people will like this the same way they liked using the S Pen on the Note 4.

There are some interesting S Pen related features though. You can scribble a phone number followed by a name and the notes app will put it in a form you can complete as a contacts entry. Screenshots can be collected and resized in a scrapbook-like notebook. Screenshots with legible text can be “translated” into text, which is similar to scanning a document and having an Optical Character Recognition software put into text you can edit. Naturally, you can write on the sides or on top of any loaded app, because a screenshot version will be saved for you, which is where you will actually do the scribbling.
Or you can slide the pen back into the tablet and do what this blogger is doing – enjoying a good-looking Android tablet by tapping and swiping.
While the presentation focused on productivity through the S Pen (and stylus-specific things) the demo unit I handled came with MS Office installed. Now, with a Bluetooth keyboard and a tablet stand, that’s productivity.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is available at all Samsung Experience stores and authorized dealer stores nationwide for an SRP of P15,990.00.
