UPDATED:
Matt provided a great link on how to add emulators for all Samsung devices.

OLD:
To get the official Samsung Galaxy Tab emulator do the following:

Open the Android SDK and AVD Manager
Click on Available packages
Expand the Third party Add-ons. There you will see Samsung Electronics add-ons.
Once the add-on is installed create a new emulator. Under Target you will see the new Samsung Tab settings, select that.

That's it!

Go to this link ... https://github.com/bsodmike/android-avd-profiles-2016/blob/master/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Tab%20A%2010.1%20(2016).xml

Save as xml file in your computer. Go on Android Studio => Tools => AVD Manager => + Create Virtual Device => Import Hardware Profiles ... choose the saved file and the device will be available on the tablet's section.

Happy Android developments guys!!!
