Galaxy Tab A11 LTE Variant Stops by FCC and IMEI Listings

We know Samsung will refresh its Galaxy Tab lineup in the coming weeks, but that mainly concerns the flagship range. At the same time, the company appears to be working on a more affordable tablet. While Samsung has remained tight-lipped, certification databases may have spoiled the surprise. The budget tablet in question, the Galaxy Tab A11, has been spotted across multiple certification listings.

Galaxy Tab A11 pops up in new listings, and a launch might not be far off

Folks over at The Tech Outlook spotted what could launch as the Galaxy Tab A11. More specifically, the outlet discovered the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab A11 in the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and IMEI databases. Its Wi-Fi-only version was listed in other certification databases about a week ago, and now the LTE version has surfaced.

The Galaxy Tab A11 LTE variant appeared in the FCC database carrying the model number SM-X135G. The same model number was also found in the IMEI database, which confirms the tablet’s official name. All of this suggests that the launch could be just around the corner. While there’s no confirmed timeline yet, it’s safe to say the debut seems imminent.

According to FCC documentation, the Galaxy Tab A11 was tested with two lithium-ion batteries: HQ-3565S and HQ-6739SDS. Each has a rated capacity of 4,980mAh and a typical capacity of around 5,100mAh. These are the same batteries used in the Galaxy Tab A9, which launched in 2023. The tablet will support 15W wired fast charging using Samsung’s EP-T1510 charging adapter, just like its predecessor.

It’s likely there won’t be many hardware changes. And even if there are, they may be minor. Galaxy Tab A-series tablets usually target budget-conscious users and are built for casual use. The base variant of the previous model wasn’t officially released in the US, so we hope that changes this time. There’s also a chance Samsung might offer an extra year of software updates over the last generation, which promised three major Android upgrades
