The One UI experience on the Galaxy Tab A11 feels too slow and poorly optimized for a Helio G99 device. Simple tasks like studying, lectures, note-taking, multitasking, and switching between apps lag more than expected.
For educational use, performance and smoothness matter a lot, but the tablet often feels heavy and delayed. Xiaomi devices with similar hardware perform noticeably better and smoother in daily use.
Please improve optimization, RAM management, animations, and overall responsiveness in future One UI updates for the Tab A11. The hardware is capable, but the software experience is holding it back.

Unfortunately, they gave the base model the same processor as the predecessor (and my A16 4G).
If the model is 6GB of RAM or up, you should turn RAM Plus off.
To turn RAM Plus off, you're going to need to go to device care, Memory, and turn RAM Plus off.
The CPU works hard on RAM plus, which can make your device slow.
You are going to also need good WiFi.
It's recommended these settings, or upgrade to the Plus model (it is significantly faster), otherwise, I don't know.

I got the tab a11 8gb ram today. Updating to one ui 8.5 made a big difference but still it becomes choppy randomly. It's smooth for a while and out of nowhere it start lagging a bit, especially when scrolling the web, as if it's not refreshing at 90hz but 40-50 instead. I really hope they can improve it even further with the following updates.
