| CPU | Octa-core (4x2.35 GHz Kryo & 4x1.9 GHz Kryo) |
| GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | Adreno 540 |
| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 4GB/6GB |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 64GB/256GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | Yes |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Iris scanner, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes, with stereo speakers (4 speakers) |
| Audio Technology | Tuned by AKG/HARMAN |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 7300 mAh |
| Battery Life | 16 hours |
| Charging | 18W wired |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 13 MP |
| Front Camera | 8 MP |
| Video | 4K@30fps (rear); 1080p@30fps (front) |
| Camera Features | LED flash, HDR, panorama |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | LED flash |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | 5.0 |

I found the Galaxy Tab S4's screen to be bright and crisp, making it great for media consumption. The speakers were louder and had more bass than I expected from a tablet this size. Performance seemed fine for my usage of web browsing and videos. App optimization on Android tablets is still hit-or-miss, though it has been improving. - Filthy Casual Tech |

I felt the Galaxy Tab S4 did not reliably offer the productivity and multitasking capabilities it was designed for. They could not recommend it over cheaper and more capable alternatives like the Surface Go or iPad Pro. - Engadget |

We give the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 a positive review as a great option for those looking for an Android-based productivity tablet with strong performance and vibrant display at a reasonable price point when compared to an iPad Pro setup. The included S Pen is also a nice bonus not found on most competing tablets. - PhoneArena |

Pros: - Good stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos - Smooth performance despite using last year's Snapdragon 835 chip - Easy to switch between apps in DeX desktop-like mode Cons: - Lack of continued software updates - App optimization still hit-or-miss on Android tablets |
Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S4, a gorgeously designed Android tablet aimed at users seeking strong media abilities and productivity features.
With its vivid 10.5-inch display, desktop-style DeX interface, and included S Pen stylus, the Tab S4 makes a compelling case for those not locked into Apple's ecosystem.
However, its lack of guaranteed long-term software support gives us pause.
Flaunting premium glass and metal construction, the Tab S4 exudes refinement with an immersive nearly bezel-less display that excels for watching videos or playing games.
Four AKG-tuned speakers provide loud, crisp stereo audio bolstered by Dolby Atmos technology.
Performance stands up well for most tasks despite utilizing last year’s Snapdragon 835 chip. Samsung's DeX interface allows effortless switching between apps in a desktop-style layout.
While not best-in-class, the 13MP rear camera and 8MP front camera service video calls and document scanning adequately.
However, Samsung only guarantees major software updates for two years.
This leaves the Tab S4’s future support uncertain, while Apple continues issuing updates for much older iPads.
Additionally, Android tablet app optimization remains inconsistent compared to the highly tailored iPadOS ecosystem.
For those seeking an Android alternative to the iPad Pro, the Galaxy Tab S4 offers a fast and flexible experience thanks to its vibrant display, usable cameras, loud speakers, desktop-style interface, and included stylus.
