Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5 (2021)

Samsung's budget 10.5-inch tablet is generous with legacy connectivity: a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD slot that takes cards up to 1TB. The USB-C is wired to the USB 2.0 standard (480 Mbps) and does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode, so you cannot drive an external monitor over a cable. Charging is a modest 15W through the same USB-C port. The headphone jack means wired earbuds work without any adapter, a plus for a family or classroom tablet.

Budget 10.5-inch Samsung tablet with a USB 2.0 USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD slot up to 1TB.
