The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 was unveiled at MWC 2017 on February 26, 2017.[1]

Its successor, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, was announced on August 1, 2018.[2]

Specifications

It features a 9.7" 2,048 x 1,536 Super AMOLED display which supports HDR video.[3] The Tab S3 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of on board storage and a 6000mAh battery.[4] It is also supplied with a Samsung Galaxy Note series S Pen, the first of the Tab S range to do so. [5][6]

The Galaxy Tab S3 is the first device from Samsung to run Android Nougat as default. For the first time since the Galaxy Tab 2, all the languages that were previously absent from other regions are available.[7]

Reception

The Verge criticized the cameras on the device, being "softened and smudged", the limitations on multitasking, and the cramped Pogo keyboard, whilst praising the integration of the S Pen and it being lightweight.[8] Matt Swider of Tech Radar stated that the tablet was "Samsung’s best tablet design yet", praising the addition of the free S-Pen stylus and HDR-ready future-proofed screen while criticizing the costly keyboard and how a tablet "could not replace a laptop".[9] Xiaomare Blanco of "CNET" also called the device Samsung's best tablet and stated, "The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is an elegantly designed tablet that comes with a capable stylus. It has a stunning AMOLED screen, fingerprint sensor for extra security and satisfyingly loud quad speakers. It's also the first HDR-ready tablet." The reviewer was also disappointed that large applications take time to load, while the keyboard add-on is an expensive extra.[10] Max Parker of TrustetReviews noted the good addition of the HDR AMOLED display, S Pen and lightweight, but said that the software "lacks polish", "janky" multitasking on the device and that the glass back of the tablet was a "fingerprint magnet".[11]
