Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 - User Reviews

  • First one to get the November 2019 update! Samsung thinks about their Tabs!

  • Sorry. My quedtion was :does tab s4 suport extreme fps in hd graphics? Smooth with extreme fps runs on ipad 6 without problems, but i want to buy the tab s4 if supports highest graphics wirh extreme fps. And also for the bigger display. I miss my galaxy tab s 10.5 :)

  • Hd with extreme fps? Why u not choose to play with smooth extreme? I prefer you to buy an ipad mini for hd extreme fps.

  • Hi. Can you pleace tell me what are the max settings on pubg? I have ipad 2018 and when playng on hd graphics and high frame rate the gameplay is not so good, to much frame drops. It is posible to play pubg on hd setings and extreme frame rate? Thanks

  • I have the Tab S4, I installed PIE and I'm fully satisfied :)

  • Hello to everyone! I have Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 since 2015, but now it's become to laggy. I renewed it one month ago with Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. I play mostly Clash of Clans on my tablet, but here start the problems. On OREO in Tab S4 Clash of Clans run in poor quality, i have to install Game Tuner to run it in full resolution. After PIE update on Tab S4 Game Tuner is disappears from my tablet and even in Play Store. Clash of Clans it's return to run in poor quality. I try many ways to run it in it's full resolution but nothing works. After that i try different ways to install and run Game Tuner, but is not possible with PIE, it's something about Game Optimizing Service and Optimize Battery Usage. After two weeks of usage i notice an big issue, my eyes start burning like hell after 30 min of using my Tab S4. I try different display mode on Display Setting but it's the same. If i switch to my oldest Tab S 10.5 everything is ok, no eye burning. I have to warning you people, if u have the Tab S4 don't install PIE, if u have in mind to but it, just don't, isn't worth it. If u are an gamer buy an IPAD.

  • 1 year use, burn-in screen, 2nd Samsung product I've bought, first was Note 2 which went bust, and now this, never again Samsung :)

  • It's easy to know why your tablet doesn't connect to 5G. IT DOESN'T SUPPORT 5G CONNECTIVITY!

  • My galaxy tab S4 stopped responding. Please any help?

  • Hi Guys,good day! I am looking for a help and hoping I can find one. About a month or two now my Tab S4 is having an internet connection problem, it can hardly connect to 5G signal in the internet modem, it takes few a minutes or even hours before it can detect the signal. I've been to the service center several time already, but it seems everything is not working well. What should I do with it to fix the problem? Appreciate your suggestions and opinions. THANK YOU...

  • There is no point going for the s5e as you can't even use a stylus on it if you are a student who wishes to use it for note taking or if you want to take notes in a conference or meeting etc...

  • There has been different with each other noticeably. S5e ~ latest Pie, higher screen reso 288ppi, slimmer. BUT GPU AND CPU is lower than the S4. s4 ~ Oreo but can updateable to Pie. screen reso is 287ppi only, Snapdragon 835 faster than s5e. Now U choose.

  • Do not go for the S5e model if you plan to use it over WiFi not being close to the router; I bought it and returned it the next day. You can find about the WiFi problem on the internet, it seems to be unfixable. I put my 5-year old tablet and S5e next to each other. My old tablet was connected to WiFi with about 50% signal. The S5e could not even see the router!

  • If you're searching for an engine, go for the tab s4. But other than that, the S5E should be your alternative

  • The Galaxy Tab S5 as an unfixable problem with the wireless card location.

  • Would anyone please suggest which tablet should I go for? I am pretty much stuck between Tab S4 and Tab S5e. THough, it has not launched in india yet. Thank you

  • I want buy tab

  • I upgrade my galaxy tablet s4 but my samsung keyboard was not working on vertical level also hanging

  • Yes available.

  • Seems Pie update has globally launched. Mine just received update notification. This tablet is really good, the DeX features are just amazing. It works very well with the pen. I can have all my work stuff done with a ease. Multi tasking with Chrome/E-mail/Excel sheets/Word etc. No problem, its really fast and super convenient! The games also run with max graphics, fps is really good.

  • Can any one tell me pie update is available or not.

  • Its awesome Tab with camera, battery, display....however after updated in Android 9.0 pie my rear camera got blurry....plz can someone guide me how to fix, sometime its fix automaticly but again later its blurry......plz help..

  • 4K screen resolution is missing, waterproof IP68, more RAM (8) and better loudspeakers with bass! The front camera could have 4K for video calling

  • Received the update Android Pie!

  • I gor the update 2 days ago

  • I got it yesterday

  • same question..same waiting.. :)

  • When Tab S4 in Indonesia get Pie ... so long to wait..

  • After using the Pie update for 1 week now the tablet is faster than ever. I am happy that samsung did not fail in this update!

  • The iPad pro is the only apple product I would consider. Both are great tablets, you're not really making a mistake picking up either. If you plan to use the device a lot and you have the money to invest into the apple ecosystem then I probably would, tablet software on the iPad pro is better and it has a superior cpu.

  • Most DEFINITELY this Samsung Galaxy Tab s4 is without a doubt, no question, a "can't lose" choice between the 2. I was skeptical of going with Samsung, because as my personal preference from an I.T. perspective, I am a diehard LG fan, but even more skeptical, was the fact that it's running OS is technically android, limiting possibilities for business/work or schooling requirements. But the DeX feature new with this device is GENIUS and blows away ANY limitations as it opens the doors to any and everything a windows tablet could offer as well, making the possibilities seemingly endless. Not to mention it has an "EIGHT-CORE" processor ; meaning it can handle any and all tasks that you could want, all at once, without a "blink" of a glitch and unbelievably lightning fast while doing so. And no, I do not work for Samsung or getting paid to talk this device up, I am truly just that lame of an I.T. nerd and passionate about helping lead people in the right direction in this field. I purchased this tablet almost 3 months ago and still have trouble sitting it down. Anyway, hope my nerd rant was helpful in your purchasing decision. Either choice is a large $$$ investment. So, just whichever your choice be, good luck and enjoy!!!

  • Today the pie update arrives in Philippines!

  • Been looking at this tablet and Ipad pro 10.5 just wondering what everyone's opinions would be on it.

  • no man it's best sarcastic and funny comment ever.. multitouch bug :D

  • You know something about the multitouch bug? When I play on a rythm-game, where we need to use more then 2 fingers on display, sometimes the touch fails, it fails on one single touch, or on a series of touch, randomly; I thought my device was broken, tryed on another one, in a shop, same problem

  • I have been using Samsung Tab S4 for a few months I would not say it is flawless It is just all the merits overcome the single weakness I.e. it weighs one pound and its tiresome to hold as a heavy user. However, the greatest merits, its vibrant display and 3.5 mm earphone socket, SD card slot makes me feel easier. Before Samsung tab S4, I was using some Chinese cheaper tablets, which were really funky when it came to file explorers alike. One was later proven to be a spyware

  • My tab s4 is some time while using it goes screen black, not screen off , but after some time it come any bady knows why it happened please tell me

  • Just recently snagged this after dealing with a bunch of really crap tablets (including the S3!) that just couldn't handle high-speed rhythym gaming without input lag or hitches. This finally did the trick. Punchy, quick, and tweakable enough to be not bloat-tastic.

  • It is absolutely 100% up to the task, especially for the price and even better if you can get it on discount. The pen is included unlike Apple and the screen is miles better in terms of colour accuracy and with an sAMOLED screen its the perfect tablet!

  • Hi all. I am looking for an Android tab for photo editing, a bit like the Ipad Pro with stylus; I the S4 up to the task? Thanks and Greetings from the Sunny Seychelles. :)

  • Smaller GB Ram capacity in Europe   (Asia 6 GB Ram) (Europe 4 Gb Ram). No IP68 dust / water proof. For short system support! Iphone May support 5 years !!!

  • Better answer: Android One is a Google-devised programme for hardware manufacturers making smartphones. Being part of Android One - and labelled as such on the rear of the phone - brings with it a guarantee that it's a solid and stable version of Android that's not loaded with other apps, services and bloatware. Essentially, it's a stock Android experience. Android One comes without any of the stuff that manufacturers like to bundle in - no skins, no duplicate apps, no additional services. That means no pre-loading Microsoft Office or Facebook app, no additional news apps and no changing the keyboard. Google's goal here is to facilitate the spread of Google-controlled Android via compelling products. It's a little like the old Nexus programme, but rather than being devices sold by Google directly, these are Android devices made by other hardware partners. Android One therefore, isn't the version of Android - that will still be whatever version of Android the manufacturer uses for their phone. At the time of writing, most Android One phones are running Android 8 Oreo, but are being upgraded to Android Pie.

  • Android One is a thin perfomance optimised mobile OS for lower range mobile processors Android Pie is the Latest full mobile OS for higher range mobile processors All from Google and all recent

  • Hi All, may I know what is the difference between Android One and Pie ?

  • Unfortunately not. It will get Pie around April 2019.

  • Hi, anyone foresee that it will update to Pie out of the box ?

  • just saw that on the internet after seeing your comment, thank you. Now I have a mobile development house on the go with Linux On Dex, I must admit, I am impressed. For more hands on review and comparisons see this link i searched on the internet.

  • TRUE

  • well... linux on dex just handed samsung a win over ipad with its ios. If samsung can get a nice stable version out..i guess they'll compete with surface products nxt.

  • Just been reading reviews and upcoming tablets for 2019. My issue was Snapdragon 845 vs 835 vs new Apple 12nm processor. I realised that much has to do with usage of tablet and as a basic multimedia user there nothing out there in the next 6 month to offer: 1- Dolby Atmos/Harman Kardon Speakers 2- Amoled screen/better than LCD and at more than 2k 3- Micro SD support 4- Laptop desktop experience For that S4 is winning at 75% of price of similar 11 Inch 2018 Ipad

  • Did you know that you can use an alternative software other than itunes?

  • Thank you for your reply. I've ordered a Samsung galaxy tab S4. Hopefully,it will be an amazing device.

  • I think you meant via WiFi . Im not aware of any method by cable without jailbreaking.

  • I can transfer anything on my ipad without using itunes.

  • @Jigme For your purpose Tab S4 is ideal as it has the best display and quite decent specs. Even I had the similar dilemma 2 weeks ago and even though the iPad is better in terms of specs, in real life usage its very difficult due to iOS restrictions. Yes, you can connect the ipad to a laptop but you need to use a software (iTunes) for transferring anything. You cannot just copy paste and use it like android devices. No. Ipad doesnt support the traditional pendrive. If you are not used to apple devices dont buy it. I have used both these tablets and personally I'd chose the Tab S4.

  • Hello. I have been having a hard time choosing between Samsung galaxy tab s4 and ipad Pro 10.5. My primary tablet use will be for Web surfing, YouTube, watching movies, notes and occasional games like pubg. I've never used any I-products before and I seriously want to try this one. However, I am bothered by some of the problems like... Will I be able to connect ipad Pro 10.5 to a laptop that is not macbook? Is there anyway to increase the storage capacity of the ipad like external devices? Does it support a traditional pen drive? I'll be very grateful if someone who is familiar with both ipar and Samsung tablets would answer this questions.

  • Do you guys know when will the tab a 8 inch 2018 be available in europe ?

  • Is the Samsung Tab S4 significantly better than the Samsung Tab S2?

  • If looking for flexibility and a device that would do almost anything then tab s4 is the only way to go. Ipad pro interface is clean but the device is almost useless accept for few apps because is not made to do real true multitasking. You go through stress to do basic things on an iPad. Most people buy it for fansy.

  • The ipad pro, tab s2, tab s3 form / shape is far better than tab s and tab s4 . Samsung should return to ipad pro 11 shape

  • Yes iPad pro probably is better - but it also costs 50% more.

  • Yes but they were a proper usable tablet ratio. Modem phones are so narrow - screened.

  • well its ipad is apple product lol so this called tab lol

  • Samsung galaxy tab s4 isn't an ipad it's a tablet I think ipad pro is better

  • Only in Korea has the Tab S4 6gb ram. Everyone else 4GB and in Europe you can 't even buy the 256gb variant.

  • They're almost the same in performance except the s4 has 2 gb more ram.

  • It doesnt show that its dual sim or not..is there any latest tablet supports dual sim slots??..thanks for answering.. ^_^

  • 2024

  • Will this tab get android 9.0 update?

  • Wich game performance better on samsung s8 or on tab s4 ???

  • Hello wich Ipad should I buy Ipad pro 10.5 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5

  • Another tablet ??? The phones now are having 7 inches. SEVEN INCHES. That was 2013 and 2014 tablets.

  • Thank you for your support :) I will make designs for my work sometimes will be at my laptop and othertimes will be with one of tab or ipad. Also, I will create ads and using microsoft account will not be every single day as I will be a freelancer but just in case. So, your suggest is very important to me and highly appreciated, last choice is tab S4 or ipad 9.7 or anything you recommend it for me? Thanks in advance

  • If your work concerning about drawing art ipad is your best choice get the pro for the 120hz experience trust me its worthed but if your work is just typical office like viewing documents, word, excel, then get tab s4. Basically, Tab s4 if you're an office employee, Ipad pro if you're an artist. As for media consumption S4 is better simply because it uses OLED and wide screen.

  • Hi, I need your recommendation please, I am going to buy one of these tabs ( Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 or iPad 9.7 2018 ) as I need it for my work and I am going to use different apps like Facebook pages, YouTube, Gmail, Photoshop and all Microsoft accounts like word, excel... etc. It's the first time for me to use tablets, so, which one of these will be ease to use anytime anywhere? Thanks in advance.

  • Both models come with only 4GB RAM in Europe

  • i have whats on in my tab s 1

  • Less peripherals? The new iPad pro has just one peripheral (USB C) and this one has TWO, headphone jack AND a charge port. I have both of the devices at home

  • If you have the LTE version (sm-t835), yes you can.

  • Can we make phonecalls and send SMS with this tab, like a phone?

  • I just bought this tablet. It's great so far. The bloatware that we used to know from Samsung has been greatly reduced. It's not worth 600€ but I bought it for 410€ from a store far form the city's centre.

  • would rather eat gandis flip flop

  • Samsung have done them self over with this one well overpriced like the Samsung galaxy tab 2

  • Samsung Ditched No update on Galaxy tab pro line up

  • I bought galaxy tab s, tab s2 years back and just bought this tab s4 about a week ago.

  • Damn, I am an apple hater but Id rather spend 850-880 bucks for newest Ipad Pro with beastly power than 700 buck for this overpriced crap , dont get me wrong, it is a pretty nice device but 550 would be the recommended price I would pay for it

  • Sure, but the Ipad you are referring to is more expensive and less business capable than a 13" Macbook Pro !

  • Well Mi max 3 is really good or Mi Mix 3 i know its a phone but its big as a tablet so i think it should be awesome.

  • I like Xiaomi but currently they don't have a tablet which comes even close. Snapdragon 835 vs 660. Amoled screen vs....

  • The iPad Pro(2018) has dual Sim support with 1TB of storage option and has the same camera as the iPhone XS Max, and has gigabit LTE. You are misinforming people. The tab S4 has 256 gb at max with expandable storage of 256 gb, has a way worse camera, less functionality and less prepirals. Also it runs oreo and will never be uptated with Dex not working properly in web browsing. It has less professional apps than the iPad Pro. And there is no support by third-parties.

  • Apple iPad is great

  • This tab sucks Samsung is back to fool peoples with 45000Rs price

  • cool! u will like it

  • Huawei M5 pro is very good option

  • This tablet is already getting price cuts here. Maybe this time I will buy this to replace my old tab S 10.5

  • Depending on how you use it. People normally compare this with iPad. But iPad is a secondary device, you need a phone for voice call or whatsapp. This can serve as your main device. If you have watch LTE version paired. You can leave this tablet at home if you are out for a short time. And bring this when you go work or long journey.

  • Too expensive for what it can do. You're better off with an ultrabook.

  • If you compare this tab s4 to original tab s its basically same device with new processor and missing ir transmitter. Samsung should have released also 8" with phone cababilities like tab s 8.4. That was and still is the best all arounder.

  • Why is that

  • ya i agree

  • I have both Ipad and Samsung tab S4....Ipad still better

  • i hope this tab get a security patch as most tabs are left without receiving any security patch at all.

  • Tab a

  • surface go

  • Is there a cheaper alternative that has similar specs to S4?

  • No wireless charging here.. cable only

  • Otg support? Please help

  • I use the tablet and its very good product i love that !!

  • Does Samsung Galaxy Tab s4 10.5 is capable of wireless charging?

  • Crazy price with SD835...!

  • Have used the tablet for some days. The Oled screen is a dream. I have compared it to other tablets like Huawei mediapad m5 and iPad Pro. It is definitely more superior than the IPS screens, very sharp, crisp with beautiful colors. I use the nova launcher which makes the tablet super fast. The tablet also has the intelligent scan like the note 9 (combination of iris and face scan) which works very well. As I also use an iPad I can understand the argument of regular updates. However, if you are looking for a very nice Android tablet, this is the one. It is real quality and the Oled screen alone justifies the price.

  • Well this is too expensive in my opinion! i rather go with an iPad 2018 (349$) it's much better because of the tablet support by apple the support on google side is really bad... they don't really work on the android for tablets.

  • Well Samsung is well known for overpricing things. For 700 uros Xiaomi can make a wonder of tablet with specs beyond believe.

  • So what's the best value Tab these days ? All other ones also have shortcomings.. Some are worst like bluetooth/wifi issues Still holding out for a decent tab Price must justify quality/specs

  • Me Buy Too

  • You mean PocoTab Yeah me too waiting for that

  • sooooo ditto

  • I have a question. Is it possible to connect a USB powered doc scanner to the Tab S4 and use it? I would really appreciate it if anyone with the Tab S4 could try it out and let me know. Thanks a lot.

  • You guys see this product from the wrong perspective, I've had the tablet since it launched and has been nothing more than a dream. I'm a university student that needed a laptop'ish device with a 4g model to not always have to rely on wifi. The Microsoft surface GO was simply too small for my liking and I simply don't like iOS so I stay away from the iPads. The keyboard cover is well made and keys are good but not amazing to type on. Battery life is not an issue with this tablet either, after using it all day I would still have 40% to 30% battery to enjoy some series or movies. You guys need to stop comparing hardware with the latest PHONES and instead compare them to the usability in comparison to the other tablet devices out there. Just cause YOU can't justify the price, doesn't mean that it's a bad product

  • Samsung Dex enables users to use the tablet as a PC, but as for me, no matter how you can use it as a PC, it still can't compare to a PC. So, I rather buy a PC instead of this. Four speakers do an amazing job, but it's useless when you want to separate the sound system from the tablet like me. The video quality is amazing compared to the others. But the others are also good. It might be pretty useful to the others, but for those people who don't use those features (for example, me), it's kind of a waste of money. So, I'd like to say that think carefully before you buy. Otherwise, it's like a throwing money away.

  • dfBuy some tips?

  • My dearest knowledge seeking friends.NFC,IR,and ,radio recording have been lost during shipping !!! For the $5000+ price I have to sell my house HERE in wonderland to buy this tablet here !!!Thanks always missing something uncle's GRAND SAMSUNG !!!?

  • Lolz

  • They'll never make another 12 incher with a big battery again eh

  • Indonesian version uses Exynos 8895 and Android 7.1... and for USD$666 i expect 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM...

  • 6gb Ram ? other sides says it has only 4gb ... some informations about the refresh rate of the display ??

  • What is this model number

  • I have iPad (2017) that has the exact specs of iPhone 6s which is released in sep 2015 phone, while this year iPad has A10 fusion chipset instead of the iPhone 8 A11 Bionic, and probably the next year iPad would have the last year spec.

  • The tab S and Tab S2 were the same as the S5 and the S6, but they released the tab S2 series again in 2016. Then the Tab S3 was nearly the same as the S7. ugh

  • Why is this basically a S8 inside when the S9 just came out? Apple doesn't keep the iPad a year behind their phones.

  • They should have added SAMSUNG branding in the front chin. To add more premium-ness.

  • You must be realistic, this tablet just appear and it's the strongest tablet there is, it competes with the pro iPad, it has very expensive screen and boxes. And its 600euros already, if you waited 4 years, you surely can wait up untill Black Friday and get it for 400-450 euros

  • I would likely buy it for 400 but 700 is obscene and I'll think over the next year if it's really really not worth switching to Apple. Since 2015 I have the Tab S 10.5. The new model is almost identical with my 4 year old one and yet much more expensive. The things wrong with the old one is the weak CPU power and the horrible experience with updates (last one in Dec '16). It's an excellent filler device to use before/after going to bad, for reading things, etc, but the cost of owning decent Android devices has become extremely high in recent years, easily coming close to Apple while security update support has remained far behind and very often hardware features are taken away without reason.

  • 8 inch version is needed.

  • Different where??? Tab and phone are alike apart from fact tablet is bigger but it offers same functionality.

  • Pocofone, TAB s4.Pocofone, TAB s4. Pocofone, TAB s4. Pocofone, TAB s4. Pocofone, TAB s4. do you see the difference yet. Tab, Phone. different.

  • No man now its overpriced with all that its missing it would be a deal.

  • Just because a writing pad should be larger to be fully functional.

  • Why samsung is not bringing 8 inch tablet with high configuration with stylus.

  • Samsung made this tab due to the overbuy of the SD835 and ended up with releasing a tablet with last year chipset despite the SD845 already available and the next gen is on the way

  • Nope man with all those and few more the price will be equal now its heavily overpriced. Its same like a phone but with a bigger screen. And dont get me wrong but for 700 euros we can get any of above in a cell phone even more. Dont try to tell me that bigger battery more plastic to put all veins inside and a bit bigger screen cost 700 euros? Xiaomi F1 Pocophone have much better specs for 400 less in money.

  • Samsung gets away with this not only because of the name but because the competition sucks especially with stylus support and superior screen. Ten incher Amoled must have cost a lot compared to those filthy lcd types. And in some places like Australia, Tab S4 costs more than Tab S3 for some strange reason.

  • Qith an attitude like that, I am sure that even if the Tab S4 had those, you'd still be screaming for more and/or still call it overprice.

  • Well i wouldnt. Rather Phab 2 pro much better for much less.

  • you dont have to buy it bro its not a most

  • 700 eur for what? No SD 845 No adreno 630 no 8GB ram no 512GB disk space. No under display fingerprint reader, no SVOOC. No THX-certified amplifiers And many other things this expensivie piece of junk is missing.

  • Pixel density (ppi) and RAM is low considering other features.

  • Well man, then dnt buy. Im sure this is not meant for u. Meant for those serious multi taskers who use their tablet for productivity, not just entertainmnt, hence, the addition of a pen. Also meant for those who need a lighter laptop, yes, a LAPTOP, for added convenience. I have the original tab s 10.4, and its still going strong except for the baterry which is normal for an almost 4 year old gadget. And i think i have found its replacmnt, the tab s 4! Thanx sammy!

  • The 835+4GB RAM combo is exactly what the S8 had, which also uses DEX. Objectively it is more than enough for Android, as there still is nothing capable of using more than 2gigs of RAM. The extra ram adds supposed future proofness in case someone decided to use the extra ram. But does this warrants the extra battery drain for everything? The focus of complaining should be on the cost since Samsung used an older chip, maybe leftovers from previous generations of flagships, older cameras, mainstream memory modules and HDD capacities, the tablet ought to be cheaper! Expensive tablets don't sell well, esp in the Android world and truly we have no alternatives, but once you sell smth so expensive, you either fit with the best specs there are, or sell it at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, having no alternatives and ppl blindly giving a fortune on Apple for doing the same truck with the specs, put us in the same position. Samsung does that, because she can...

  • This tab is a perfect laptop replacement it has inbuilt samsung dext. Only thing is missing sd845 chip set

  • i think if they made it waterproof it's be the greatest tablet

  • I see that Tab S4 model SM-T835 (LTE) 4G has call menu like any phone. Can i make voice calls if I insert the sim card from my phone ?

  • if u only care about AMOLED, wait for the Alldocube X... for 300 usd u get the samsung AMOLED, though the chipset is old and probably not for games.

  • S4 is like a museum: big briliant AMOLED displays and historical exibits like retired Snapdragon 835 and dwarf 4GB RAM... And we have no other choice and must by it, because of the AMOLED. All other companies sleep on old in-plain-switching.

  • I'd like to see the fella who wants a SD845 / 128gb have a chat with the fella who uses the tablet mostly to watch videos...

  • Gsmarena should add the SK variant with 6Gb ram.

  • Why does the "outdated" gpu bother you if you only use your tablet for viewing videos?

  • South Korean variant has 6GB.

  • £600 for a TABLET with a SD835?? Samsung have some ba lls.. This won't sell at all considering most people including me only use thier tablets for watching movies or YouTube.

  • No, its not a phone.

  • hope there will be another 6 GB version.

  • And the 8 inch version?

  • tablet should be stronger than phone. i hate samsung for this. tablet mainly use for work like a laptop. so it should has 6-8gb ram, capacity should be at least 128gb. chip SG 845, i hope samsung do this in the next Samsung tab S5

  • I certainly agree with the company. The tablet turned out to be not weak at all, but to put 6GB of memory instead of four, was it weak? Maybe there is still time to improve? Probably even 8GB would be nice. The lucky Samsung!

  • I certainly agree with the company. The tablet turned out to be not weak at all, but to put 6GB of memory instead of four, was it weak? Maybe there is still time to improve? Probably even 8GB would be nice. The lucky Samsung!

  • Oh please! 4GB RAM is a joke for a high productive desktop - aka Samsung DeX. This won't replace any desktop PC. Stop trolling plz Samsung!

  • You think I need to make stuff up online? Get a life.

  • Could have been really good but specs are mediocre. That 4gb ram can't handle all Samsung claims the tablet does. Sorry Samsung!

  • Is there any news for a 8.4 version?

  • How can a wireless drives have a battery if the manufacturer made them without any batteries at all? Did you know the term "PLUG and PLAY"? And Just so you know wireless drives also draws power from the source. Did you think that mobile devices use external hard disk drives to store all their content?

  • Did I said anyhting about wired ones? There are direct lightning flash drives such as this: And just to remind you. It's available directly at the apple retail stores. Meanwhile, the 400GB to 512GB microSD card which is priced to $200 or more here in my country. Whose vendors would like to display such an expensive item at an easiest item to stole? You think that apple treats every customer like a dumb person? How about on android? With so many cheap models. Aren't android providers treating the customer by only providing a model and not having an after sale support? Even on premium models. It takes a long time for an update to come. Most don't have an update at all.

  • I emphasized the sealed batteries because lots of those wireless drives turned to shit because the manufacturer did not make replacement batteries for them (wireless drives) when they bloated or reached their limit cycles. Meanwhile, wired harddrives/ssd still work since they draw power from an external source.

  • Wireless flash drives/card reader. Not wired ones. Freakin secure garden that treats every user like a dumb person with their one size fits all approach.

  • And you think that majority of the device nowadays don't have SEALED BATTERIES? Where's the popularity of having a removable battery in 2018?

  • LOL! How can it be INCAPABLE of reading external storage if it can read USB OTG flash drives with ease? And you think that I used those cloud base storage system? I don't think so! Even the internet provider isn't good of giving me a constant connection. And you think that Ipad needs a partnered laptop to work? LOL! That's what IOS is for. A secured garden! And just because it doesn't allow any outside the appstore doesn't mean it isn't good! If you think about it. Android and PC has malwares, viruses, and adwares thanks to the OPEN SOURCE ENVIRONMENT. Care to explain how to remove AMAZONAWS virus in the application that is running? If you play games while playing music at the background or playing a movie. How can you listen to the sound coming from the game while the background noise is also playing? Let's say that you are playing a horror game. How can you NOT be surprised if a background noise produce a surprise sound? And tell me what are you downloading while on the BACKGROUND?

  • Tablet so optimized yet incapable of reading external storage unless they are the dumb wireless ones with... stay with me... SEALED BATTERIES as well. Must be nice to live in Apple bubble where cheap and free and unlimited internet/ cloud storage exists. Ipad is useless without a partnered laptop. So much for your post PC world. And your oh so powerful device crippled while trying to download files (and only the allowed ones) outside the App Store. What a very dangerous place there is outside the walled garden. Ohhh so scary. Play games while having a music video or movie playing with a bunch of concurrent download IN THE BACKGROUND. Must be more than what some IOS users can process. So someone has to hold their hands for them.

  • You do know that games running on that ipad with pro motion display gets optimized than the android counterpart?

  • 120 hz on tablets is just not needed yet , even on the fastest IPAD tablet with 120 hz screen , games will never go above 60fps ...

  • I also have the first Tab s 10.5... I use mine every day... the new ones got a smaller battery. 13mp cam.......... but I'm happy with my Tab s from 2014!....

  • Ashes to ashes, i have the first gen tab s 10.5 ever since it came out 4 yrs ago, and i never had any issues with it in whatever form. In fact i use it every single day for all tasking u can imagine and ive learned to manage its battery usage to a considerable degree. As with any device that ages, the battery level will degrade in time, but i can say that after a full charge in mid aftrnoon, i am still left with more than 50% after brwsing and some videos in the evening. And that is acceptable enough for a device of this kind and age. It is the best tablet and its overall performance hasnt diminished a bit. I really luv it still. As the tab 4 s becons, i think i may have found my next tablet to sit alongside the first tab s, and if initial handson have it, it will be a beast packed with more useful features that brings u to a pc level of performance with the convenience of a tablet. So ash to ash, have u ever owned this tab? I dnt think so.U dnt know what u talk about.

  • Now that uve got it off ur chest, we hope u feel better now. Just dnt regret it when the positives starts coming in.

  • How Samsung can justify premium price and use processor from last year.

  • Its meant to be used with the external keyboard or connected to an external display.

  • i love this tablet does it have qhd screen?

  • Portrait mode. And in landscape, on-display keyboard + navigation buttons will eat 70% of your display. It's a worthless aspect ratio for tablets unless all you do with it is watch video.

  • Without going into any specifics or providing justifications, your post is a piece of irrevelant trash that adds no value. Explain what you mean if you have a point to make, troll.

  • Wow, it's nice to see something new in the tablet space. Well, something that's not low-end, anyhow.

  • i love Samsung products...especially those that comes with a stylus...therefore, i am using the Tab S3 and forever a Note user, even the dreaded recalled and returned note 7. Replaced it with Note 8 and since Black Friday is just around the corner, will upgrade to the Note 9... pocket electronics or communication gadgets both for social and office purposes and personal usage now a days are like cars and clothing, you keep changing in a short time...after all, you are what you use. Those that cant afford it, unfortunately keeps on complaining and comparing.

  • I am allergic to Nicotine. Thankyouverymuch -_-

  • If you thought that more bs can t be achieved after the s9, you thought wrong Sammy is no longer a good option as far as value and performance. Its also not a good choice for an android device The way I see it, this tablet is just another piece of irrelevant tech that samsung made, another one to the pile......sob :,(

  • I am talking about the game requirement to work. not about how much RAM is better it seems you smoke not me.

  • Does it supports VoLTE?

  • Samsung after 6 months you will release the s10 with new Snapdragon .this tablet will be so outdated .just wait 6 months and this tablet will be 2 years behind and my tab s3 and will be 3 years behind :(. at this price not buying Samsung tablets anymore

  • If only Samsung supported their devices better, software wise, this would be a much more tempting buy. Hopefully one day they will!

  • It is better to purchase iPad Pro 9.7

  • Likely 60hz. It's not a gaming tab officially, so I doubt it'll be different

  • I tried the pencil on the iPad and it feels very natural. I hope the tab S Pen will feel the same (and from the shape I can 95% gurantee it will. Just with sammy's touch ;3)

  • I did expect atleast a 8.6Ah battery here. But the "GTFO" Part is really uncool bruh. I do agree that tablets could and SHOULD match phone's preformance with tablets bypassing phones being my wet dream.

  • What are you smoking!????? A high end Tablet needs atleast 4, 6is the sweet spot with 8 being like "WOAH! Holy gwakamolly it's perfect!" And the latest chipset.

  • Easy, I want to game on that tablet, and the massive oomph bonus from those extra two gigs of RAM, higher clock frequency, the 2nd gen fab, and the better GPU are SUPER important for me. As for reading news or other stuff. I am fine doing that from my iPhone.

  • It's like buying a brand new car with an old engine/parts

  • Connect a Mouse and keyboard and you don't need to use your PC anymore.. :)

  • You don't need Dolby vision when it's a Samsung panel

  • no there are differences and the most important one is the aspect ratio of the tablet. For a guy like me its important that my tablet have a 16:10 ratio instead of 4:3. It's a decent tablet and unfortunately there are not a lot of those out there so we either have to buy from unknown brands or old tablets both of which dont appeal to me. So Im gonna buy this tab coz it has everything I want

  • It's the same of the tab s3... tab s3 has almost the same features, and in addition tab s4 has an old snapdragon 835 and only 4gb of ram, and this old hardware could be ok but not at that price.

  • That should read a Square Pad (ipad).

  • 16x9 is the best ratio for watching video content, which is what people mainly do on tablets. Watching stuff on a squad pad (ipad) looks ridiculousness and causes the picture to be made smaller to fit the tablets screen. You end up wasting 1/3 of the screen. Hardly anyone reads ebooks on a tablet. Stick to your ipad.

  • Tab S1 was better for its time Same/similar panel. But lighter Also only 1Gig less ram despite being 4 years older than this. Only bad thing about Tab S1 was the weak SoC, but that is to be expected in 2014 all SoCs were weak. It is not as if this one's is a champ or anything, a mid performer at this point too.

  • screen to body ration is not so good but apart from it it looks a preety good device, finally a 10.5 inch display with good specs. I'm visually impaired and need bigger screens than other people

  • I'm only buyin 4:3 tablets, because this is best format for ebooks and news websites. Never watching movies on it, for movies, there are big screen tvs.

  • OMG, people do really like to complain. Its a tablet, why do you need a Snapdragon 845 or 6 GB of RAM? You'll end up using it to read ebooks and to watch videos. They are good specs and the battery is great.

  • This is what many ex-Tab S users WANT & NEED instead of the puny 4:3 ratio (LESS content) and FINALLY not copying iPad screen ratio. Ask any Tab S users & they agree with your statement. Sad that the Fingerprint Sensor (for now) & IR Blaster (not much of an issue) is gone. Hope Tab S5 adds ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor which will debut on S10 next year. I do know there will be a few BLIND ex-iPad SH**PS / TRO**s showing up defending their 4:3 ratio Tab S2 & Tab S3 soon. I have dealt with them before and they do not seem to listen to my side and criticize heavily.

  • I love Samsung but $700+ for almost an outdate CPU? Seriously not worth it

  • Tab S3 correction

  • Tab SE pen looks much better. 4GB RAM should be increased to 6GB

  • Wonder if we will be able to plug in an external monitor when using Dex?

  • You dont need more RAM for that , Actually 2GB RAM is enough for this game in Mobile version.

  • 4 gb ram.... definitely no...

  • I was really hoping that they would use a Snapdragon 845 with 6-8gb of ram on this tablet. Would be better to play PUBG Mobile on max settings on a bigger screen.

  • SG Tab S3 Have support for Netflix HDR after the Oreo Update and i hope so this one also support netflix youtube and other streaming services in HDR.

  • Well, most people buy this table for media consumption

  • Many prefer this aspect ratio for web browsing as well

  • is it hdr supported? no mention of hdr anywhere/ no dolby vision / hdrplus, atleast hd10 would be good...

  • Old SoC, small battery, gtfo Samsung.

  • Is this Display HDR Ready like IphoneX Display because Youtube HDR works Perfectly on IphoneX Screen. please let me know

  • I think the screen/bezel size and aspect ratio is the same on the Tab A 10.5. The A 10.5 is just using a cheaper LCD display and doesn't come with all the bells and whistles, like the pen.

  • I have many colleagues in US and nearly all of them cannot write in cursive. Schools don't teach that anymore, and people just don't have skills to hold a thin accurate pen. While for a trained person a thin pen is much more precise, manufactures have to make pens that like for smaller children that just learn how to write. Thick and cumbersome. This way they get positive reviews from GSMArena :)

  • Will the S pen feel as good as apple pencil for artist? With proper pressure level, pinpoint accuracy, and no lag. Apple Pencil and ipad pro are unbeatable for artist. They beat the wallet though. I hope S4 wont be overpriced.

  • Heavy ! why so heavy ? My Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet weighs only 380 gr and that is easy to hold in one hand. Close to 500 gr is not. Otherwise good specs. Wish there would be a Xperia Z5 coming....

  • Very nice but looks like in landscape mode the height is smaller than the Samsung S 10.5 which is very bad news if correct.

  • Nice Tab

  • Hey hey!! Chill man! you're on the internet, it's not your home ground dude...... Just see and pass by . You never need to implement other's rules on other's......

  • calm down, stop being so serious xD

  • People that can spell properly?

  • Wake up, its beter to buy tree who gives food than this You now what cind off people can buy it!

  • What is the meaning of WTF ? Are you not following the posting rule no 2 ?

  • A Portable TV tablet that can record 4K? Huge battery? Wow. Huge specs for a huge product.

  • Wtf is that resolution ? Is it mistake or will this tablet be ultrawide trash ???

  • I have the tab s2 used for media I am a taxi driver used to have note pro 12.2 loved it only thing against the tab s2 for me is screen ratio hate black bars so glad to see 16.10 my only wish is they would have made a 12in4k version

  • What refresh rate will the display have?

  • 4:3 are more suitable for browsing, work/office stuff 16:9/10 are suited for movies/videos and games I'm sure they've gone with 16:9/10 trend because majority of buyers are movie buffs and gamers But then, everyone also watches ytube, right So 16:9/10 cater for almost everyone I'm somewhere in between So still can appreciate the 4:3

  • Yes agree Sammy should make the 8 inchers available again Good size to carry around for casual outting, school, work, even fun. 10 inch is for more serious matter. Might as well make 12 inch too - will get this for sure if S4 has it.

  • 16:9 is best ratio, if you ask me. :-) bigger battery is always better. bigger than 7300 mAh. it would be nice to have stereo speakers! and of course, screen than can work with S pen. :-) and if I can buy it via mobile operator, in 24 parts.

  • I'm Tab S 8.4 owner. Considering getting S4, very happy with the 16:10 aspect ratio, but 10.5 might be a bit too big... there was a reason I didn't go for Tab S 10.4 back in 2014.

  • I do also still use the Tab S 10.5 I bought it used 2 years ego. Of does workshop, battery is still great. However the lack of new updates and the sluggish behavior are annoying. I'll buy the new S4 when it's available.

  • Im on the tab s 10.5 too.its inconsistent. I dont know if its the wi fi or not that's the issue but right now its working great.its nearly 4 years old though i did change the battery myself a while ago

  • Im on the tab s now from 2014.i love the 16:10 format.the 4:3 format is simply a copy of the iPad. Im glad they listened and went back to the original tab s format

  • low resulation = higher fps but also black bars

  • why you prefar 4.3 and not 16.10?

  • when do we expect replacement for the Pro 12.0 series, with stylus? When?

  • 16:10... no, thanks. I'll keep my Tab S3.

  • More RAM at least 6-8GB pls! For MMORPG! For Lineage 2 Revolution! And Dual SIM too! :D

  • I hope Samsung does better this time around. Last year, Samsung failed in its USA in the marketing of their Galaxy Tab S3, which only Verizon picked up. AT&T still only sells the prior Tab S2 model and T-Mobile dropped the entire line to sell only low end under powered Samsung Android tablets like the Galaxy Tab E plus miserable and poor performing Alcatel tablets. I blame this on Samsung's marketing department which clearly failed to provide enough vendor incentives to carry Samsung's flagship tablets. All of the big three USA Cellular vendors - AT&T, Version and T-Mobile, however, are happy to sell high end, thousand dollar Apple iPads. Samsung needs to step up their game or continue to suffer declining tablet sales - along with most of the rest of the industry. While the tablet market place continues to decline for almost all vendors, Apple has done much better about getting their new LTE enabled tablets into major USA telecom providers. Samsung has failed again and again. As someone bonded to the Android OS (8.0/Oreo) in my case, I would to see Samsung do better. Their timid upgrades, with just tiny feature improvements continues to frustrate me.

  • I'll buy this as a sucessor for my old Tab S 10.5 It still works, but nowadays it's lagging.

  • LoL..!! Why would you wan no local or locally FREE radio..!?

  • Why?

  • Clearly, can see kind of revive in part of tablets.. The only worry it is: price tag Samsung GTS4.. Overall, Tab S4 is nice choice..

  • wait... Where goes the 4:3 ration?? How can you be productive on such a screen? And it is just like the Huawei medialad M5 10.8. Lets hope the price does not dissappoint and maybe a snapdragon 845. Maybe the ratio will be fine if the new Ipad Pro X has the same but i dont see a point in that.

  • WTF?

  • Dearest friend.Sorry for misunderstandings. I said that this really perfect tabletis without NFC,IR and radio +radio + recording rds.If Samsung modifies the missings,it would be the most perfect tablet of these years with 512 gigabytes storage!Otherwise a perfect tabletof high ends must not have any missings ! I also as a researcher must remind that one of the Samsung previous notes tablet had 8200 mah battery !! Justice Rights may never ever use out of human moral guidelines which wrong is wrong and right is right.So as gsmArena!But I don't that Samsung public relations does any modifications or not to have the best most perfect tablet of the years. Also thanks for your opinion .What do you think !?...

  • Really hope that pricepoint doesn't stick...

  • Why you want no radio?

  • An excellent tablet without NFC,IR and radio +rds ! Hopefully Samsung should do these missing before its release !! Do you think it is possible dearest readers.Thanks all to have a chance of having a perfect tablet.... Of course , it is the VIP chance to pay at least $2000+ somewhere !Justice Rights !

  • It's not a phone, dummy

  • Really hope it has super amoled display and not ips

  • If only there's a SD660 lite version, else with SD835, it will not come cheap.

  • Price =$600 Lol

  • Specs are still unofficial. Wait before ranting prior to the release.

  • Finally some serious specs on a tablet! Let's hope the price doesn't disappoint

  • iPad Pro 10.5 265ppi ( crap ) This 288ppi ( no crap )

  • crap ppi
