Great multimedia tablet, not so sure about its workchops
The guys complaining about the non-LTE version missing LTE are complete doofuses. Go buy the LTE version!
I upgraded from a Fire HD 10 to this thing and I have to say it is a top notch entertainment device. I think Samsung really missed out by placing it in the work device category with its advertising. There is a large market willing to pay premium for a OLED tablet for watching movies, reading comics, or whatever and the Tab S4 hits it. So what if it's slower than the A10X equipped iPad? This thing has a way better display and it's fast enough.
+ 10.5" OLED tablet with the same quality as the Galaxy S9, but the identical 112% DCI-P3 coverage is insane saturation on a larger device. Eye popping is an apt description.
+ Adaptive display mode on max warm setting with 80% red, 100% green, and 0% blue produces a very pleasing white point.
+ Thin and light for a 10.5" device, comfortable to hold with one hand.
+ 4 speakers of decent quality. Headphone are better though
+ Comes with a pen, but I don't use it
+ Fast internal storage
+ Expandable SD card storage
+ 7300mAh battery lasts forever
+ 16:10 ratio is great for books/comics (shout out to Kindle/Comixology) and webpages in portrait, and videos in landscape
+ Has a 3.5mm jack
= Glass backpanel is grippy and easy to hold. Some of you may prefer metal
= I prefer to use this in portrait except during videos, but the charge port and headphone port are on the bottom. Low-slung tablet stands will not work.
= No way to store the pen without buying a $70 cover.
- Uses an older SD830 instead of the latest SD845. Shame!
- Only 4GB RAM
- Apps (cough YouTube) need to add support for HDR on the Tab S4
- No fingerprint sensor, face recognition/iris scan impossible to use when slouched over upside down on the couch (in portrait)
