This tablet is fast! I also love Dex. It makes the tablet very versatile.No more running to the computer to pull up a website. I loaded chrome on it and it is just like my laptop only smaller and more portable. The S pen works fantastic, it is super responsive. The speakers are loud and clear.

The 10.5" screen is a great choice not to big not to small so it fits perfectly in a purse or backpack. The display on the tablet is very clear and crisp. One of my favorite features are the four Dolby speakers, so sound comes out both sides unlike other brands of tablets I have used .

It has been a long time since I got excited about an Android tablet - mostly because there aren't many launched each year - but the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 has managed to hook me in.

Beautifully sharp and bright display; Enviable design that grabs the eye; S Pen stylus is impressive and comes with it; Top audio quality for a tablet

Average battery life; Doesn't come with keyboard case; Outdated chipset inside

If you're on the hunt for an Android tablet with specs to match Apple's then options will have been thin on the ground recently. Huawei's and offer decent specs and features, while range have the mid-range covered. But high-end Android tablets are rare. That's where Samsung and its Tab S4 come in.

Would like more RAM; Glass back is slippery and delicate; Lingering issues with Android on tablets; Dex mode has a few annoying bugs

PC desktop-like Dex interface; Comes with the S Pen stylus; Large 10.5-inch screen

Dex touchscreen detection is off; Keyboard design is unintuitive; Expensive for what it delivers

LIMITED OFFER: If you order the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 before 23 August, you'll get a free Keyboard Cover . That accessory normally costs £119, and while it's not perfect – as I'll discuss below – as a freebie it's well worth grabbing.

Sumptuous design; Great screen; Excellent battery life; Bundled S Pen works well

Outdated internals; Keyboard Cover has no touchpad for DeX; No stylus holder

It is quick to respond

After checking it out briefly when it first announced , I was prepared to hate the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. Sporting outdated specs similar to last year's Galaxy Note 8 (except with 2GB less of RAM and worse cameras), no fingerprint reader, and a price tag of $650 (and that's not including its $150...

Gorgeous screen; solid build; big battery Dated specs; no fingerprint reader; optional keyboard cover isn't really optional and lacks a touch pad; and it's too expensive

A 10.5-inch tablet with a focus on mobile productivity

I bought the Tab S4 as a replacement for my iPad Pro after becoming frustrated with its customisation limitations. I'm glad I did, great screen, smooth/responsive operation and all the flexibility and widgets that come with Android. Recommended.
