Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 goes official: slim bezels, gorgeous display, S Pen power

Samsung today unveiled the Galaxy Tab S4 – the much-anticipated successor to one of the best Android tablets on the market. Following in the footsteps of the Tab S3, the new slate from Samsung is a 2-in-1 productivity-oriented device with S Pen support, that’s sure to please artists as well.

The Galaxy Tab S3 is a sleek-looking device, but the Tab S4 takes things further. With its premium build, immersive AMOLED display, and slimmed-down bezels, Samsung’s latest tablet is one of the best looking ones on the market.

“At Samsung, we believe in innovations that enrich our lives,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics. “Since the beginning, we’ve focused on new products and services that help consumers do more through improved performance and increased mobility, while working seamlessly within an ecosystem of connected devices. We’re very excited to introduce the Galaxy Tab S4 and look forward to seeing what users do with it.”

Enhanced productivity features with Samsung DeX and the S Pen

With the Galaxy Tab S4, Samsung brings its DeX dock to a tablet for the first time. Samsung DeX on the Galaxy Tab S4 transforms the user interface and experience so you can multitask like you would on a PC, without any additional accessories needed. For example, you can open multiple PC-style applications— including Android and Microsoft Office apps— directly on the Galaxy Tab S4. You can even resizie windows, drag and drop content between apps, and use keyboard shortcuts and commands.

What’s more interesting, the Samsung DeX can also be used to turn the tablet into a fully functional external monitor with a compatible HDMI to USB-C multi-port adapter.

The S Pen is another stand-out feature of the Galaxy Tab S4 and it comes in the box. With it, you can take notes on the fly through the Screen-Off Memo feature, as well as navigate the Uiand, and translate and organize notes through Samsung Notes, among many other things.

Gorgeous 10.5” AMOLED display and audio by AKG

But the Galaxy Tab S4 is also an excellent entertainment device. With its crisp, 16:10 AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560x1600, watching videos on the tablet is a joy. The colors are punchy and the picture is crystal-clear. The visual experience is further complemented by four speakers with Dolby Atmos support, tuned by AKG. The Galaxy Tab S3 also had quad speakers and it sounded great, so the same can be expected from the Tab S4 as well, if not more.

And there's a new Galaxy Tab A model as well!
