The smaller of the two new Galaxy Tab A tablets is expected to go on sale 16,990 rubles for the Wi-Fi with the least amount of internal storage (16GB) and 20,990 rubles for the Wi-Fi + LTE 16GB flavor.
Meanwhile, the 16GB Wi-Fi only Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 can be had for 20,990 with the spec’d out model (possibly with 32GB or 64GB internal storage) with LTE connectivity selling for 26,990 rubles.
So expensive. My Lenovo Tab S8-50LC has better specs but the price is lower.
