Currently, in the market the only serious alternatives, or quality to call it somehow, in the market for tablets are offered by both Apple and Samsung. At the beginning of August, the Korean company presented the fourth generation of the Galaxy Tab S, a range of tablets aimed at users who want to get the most out of this type of device.
This new generation, like the previous ones, comes standard with the S Pen, with which we can expand the possibilities offered by this device, a device that, as the company announced, is now available for sale in Spain at starting from 699 euros.
Specifications of the Galaxy Tab S4
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 offers us a 10,5-inch screen with 2k resolution and 16:10 format. Inside, we find the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor accompanied by 4 GB of RAM. It is especially striking that the Korean company did not bet on Qualcomm's 845, but it may have been done to reduce the cost of manufacturing this device in order to compete with Apple's iPad Pro.
As for storage, the fourth generation of Samsung's Tab S It offers us 64 GB of storage, space that we can expand using microSD cards. On the back we find a 13 mpx camera while the front reaches 8 mpx. In terms of security, this new generation has dispensed with the fingerprint sensor, adding an iris scanner instead.
The battery capacity is 7.300 mAh, a battery that we can charge through the USB-C connection. On the outside, and like the previous generation, we find 4 AKG signature speakers, which allow us to enjoy movies to the fullest. If we want to use a keyboard, Samsung offers us a set of keyboard and mouse, which when paired, the tablet runs the DeX mode, turning the tablet into a portable laptop.
Galaxy Tab S4 price
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 It is only available in two versions: Wifi and Wifi + 4G, both with a storage capacity of 64 GB, space that we can expand as I have commented above. In addition, we can also get it in black or white.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Wifi: 699 euros
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Wifi + 4G: 749 euros
Alternative to iPad Pro?
As a general rule, users who are loyal to Apple will opt for the iPad Pro, even though it does not come standard with the Apple Pencil, Apple Pencil that costs more than 100 euros. If you have an iPhone and the integration that Apple offers you with all your products is not an added value to opt for any of the Pro models that Apple offers us, The Galaxy Tab S4 is an excellent option, since it also integrates the stylus without having to spend more money to get it.
In addition, that when connecting the official Samsung keyboard and mouse, they change the interface for a desktop one, is a plus that many users can take into account when evaluating which device to buy, since it also allows us to interact with a mouse, as if it were a laptop.
