Here you’ll find replacement parts for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11, the 8.7-inch tablet unveiled by Samsung in September 2025, featuring a 90 Hz display and MediaTek Helio G99 processor. Choose from a complete screen in original quality, a 5100 mAh battery and a motherboard connection flex cable. These parts are suitable both for people repairing their own tablet and for repair shops handling multiple devices. Before placing an order, check the model code: the Tab A11 shares its name, size and appearance with other tablets in the Galaxy Tab A series.
SM-X130, SM-X133 or SM-X135: how to identify your Samsung Galaxy Tab A11
You’ll find the exact code under Settings > About tablet, in the model number section. Check it against the replacement part listing, as the commercial name alone isn’t enough to distinguish between versions. If the tablet won’t start, find the full code on the box or purchase invoice, for example SM-X130NZAAEUB.
- SM-X130: Wi-Fi-only variant, sold by Samsung in Spain and the rest of Europe.
- SM-X133: Wi-Fi variant intended for other markets, such as Latin America or Oceania. It’s the same model with a different regional code.
- SM-X135 and SM-X135F: LTE variant with mobile connectivity and a SIM card slot. The final letter indicates the regional version.
There are two models it’s often confused with. The Galaxy Tab A9 (SM-X110 and SM-X115) has the same size, resolution and battery capacity, but Samsung lists its parts under different references and its screen doesn’t offer an adaptive refresh rate, so don’t assume they’re interchangeable. The Galaxy Tab A11+ (SM-X230 and SM-X236) is a different tablet, with an 11-inch screen and a 7040 mAh battery, and doesn’t share components with this category.
Replacement parts for the 8.7-inch Tab A11 and how to identify them
What’s included in the original 90 Hz screen assembly
The Tab A11 features an 8.7-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 1340 x 800 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 90 Hz. You can also set the refresh rate to 60 Hz in standard mode through the system settings. The original complete screen for Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 combines the display panel and touchscreen in a single part. As an Original replacement part, it retains the same resolution and refresh rate as the factory-fitted screen, making it the premium option in this category.
As the glass, touchscreen and panel are bonded together, this part is suitable whether only the glass is broken or the image or touch response is also affected. Before buying, bear two things in mind:
- Samsung uses different service references for the screen in the Wi-Fi version (SM-X130) and the LTE version (SM-X135). Ask us to confirm that the part matches your code.
- Original screens for this model are supplied without a frame and are bonded to the chassis, so you’ll need new adhesive around the edges for installation.
What you should know about the 5100 mAh HQ-7800SA battery reference
The Tab A11 comes with a 5100 mAh battery bearing the cell reference HQ-7800SA, which is identical in the Wi-Fi and LTE versions. The 5100 mAh HQ-7800SA battery compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 is Premium quality: a compatible replacement with the same rated capacity as the original and generally at a lower price than the official service part. Before ordering, check whether the label on your current battery shows this reference. It’s the quickest way to rule out batteries for other 8.7-inch tablets that look the same at first glance.
It isn’t user-removable: it’s bonded to the chassis with adhesive, so it’s a good idea to have new adhesive strips ready for installation. Also note that the tablet supports a maximum USB-C charging rate of 15 W. A new battery restores lost battery life, but won’t reduce charging time.
Connection flex cable shared by the Wi-Fi and LTE versions
The original motherboard connection flex cable for Tab A11 X130, X133 and X135 is Original quality and works with all three versions of the model. This makes stock management easier for repair shops, as a single reference covers both Wi-Fi and LTE tablets. Before replacing it, check your tablet’s code and make sure the connector matches the part you’re removing.
Parts shared by the Wi-Fi and LTE Samsung Galaxy Tab A11
The Wi-Fi and LTE variants are practically identical on the outside, but not all their internal components are shared. Here’s an overview of the replacement parts in this category:
| Replacement part | SM-X130 / SM-X133 (Wi-Fi) | SM-X135 / SM-X135F (LTE) |
|---|---|---|
| HQ-7800SA 5100 mAh battery | Compatible | Compatible |
| Motherboard flex cable | Compatible | Compatible |
| Complete screen | Different service reference depending on the version: check your code | |
The Tab A11 doesn’t have a fingerprint reader, so replacing the screen won’t affect any biometric system. Face recognition relies solely on the 5 MP front camera, which isn’t part of any of these parts. In practice, all you need to check is that the screen matches your tablet’s code and that you have new adhesive for installation.
Frequently asked questions about repairing a Samsung Galaxy Tab A11
Will a Galaxy Tab A9 screen fit?
Both models have an 8.7-inch screen and the same resolution, but Samsung assigns different references to the screens for each device. The Tab A9 screen also doesn’t support an adaptive refresh rate of up to 90 Hz. Always choose the part that matches your model code.
Is the battery the same in the Wi-Fi and LTE versions?
Yes. The SM-X130, SM-X133 and SM-X135 variants use the same 5100 mAh battery with the HQ-7800SA reference. You can order it regardless of your tablet’s connectivity.
Does the original screen retain 90 Hz?
Yes. As an original part, it offers the same 1340 x 800 resolution and adaptive refresh rate as the factory-fitted panel. You can still choose between standard 60 Hz mode and adaptive mode in the display settings.
Why is my Tab A11 still charging slowly with a new battery?
The tablet supports a maximum charging rate of 15 W, and a 5100 mAh battery takes time to charge fully at that power. Replacing the battery restores battery life, but charging time depends on the device’s own limit.
