I’ve been using an old Android v7 smartphone running SmartThings for a specific use case, but it’s no longer usable. I’m looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7 which has 3GB of RAM, but I see a post above that the A7 is not compatible. I read on Samsung’s message board that a person wasn’t able to install SmartThings from the Google Play store since it said it wasn’t compatible, but the person was able to install SmartThings from the Galaxy store. Worst case I’d think SmartThings could be side-loaded.
Anyone here running SmartThings on the new (2021 July released model) Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7?
Update: I purchased the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite 8.7 64gb model for $150 from BestBuy which has 4gb of RAM instead of the 32gb model with 3gb of RAM. SmartThings was available in the Samsung Galaxy app store and runs fine. The only drawback is that Samsung doesn’t allow installing their Good Lock features onto this Android 11/One UI 3.1 tablet.
UPDATE: As for Good Lock on various Samsung devices, it requires One UI, not One UI Core which is on the Tab A7 Lite I purchased. Wow, fragmentation in their own products as there is One UI, and then there is something else called One UI Core. Go figure.
