Samsung has stepped back into the tablet market with its newest Android tablet, the Galaxy Tab S3. Running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, this is the latest attempt by the brand to compete in this dying space. To gain attention, Samsung has included a 2K AMOLED screen, top of the line Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM. To provide a very long lasting experience with these power-hungry components, the battery has been stretched to 6000mAh. It also comes with Fast Charging. Further details and technical specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 are given below.
The Galaxy Tab S3 is a 9.7 inch tablet which means it isn’t a solely two hand device. To counter this, Samsung is including a keyboard accessory for the tablet. By intial looks, this accessory has a wide enough key layout with decent key travel, all good points. Furthermore, Samsung has brought over S-Pen functionality from the Note line to the Tab S3. The pen is shipped with the device but unfortunately, you cant store it in a silo or magnetically with the device. Overall, this tablet offers the best Android specs you can find coupled with the best display.
