Samsung Electronics SM-T830NZALXAR Galaxy Tab S4 with S Pen, 10.5, Gray

It works!

I just got this tablet today and I like it a lot, however the charger is defective. I had to use a different one to charge the tablet. You would that theyd test everything before sending it out.

Ive spent a few days now with the Tab S4. As others have pointed out it is missing the ability to use a fingerprint to unlock. While I can understand the loss since there is no hardware button anymore I still think it is better for people to use a secure way to log into the tablet using a secret that can be forgotten if need be (someone tries to force you into your tablet).

The Samsung 4 Galaxy tablet is a powerful device. I also purchased the keyboard and a Logitech mouse. Very wise additional investment for total $130.00. The tablet comes with the S pen, an innovative and very useful device. We have an HBE Now card and found screen mirroring with our 65 inch TV an effective way to access the HBO content we choose during the time period we choose. I was surprised to find that Microsoft Word was not included and had to be paid for monthly. However, after two calls to Microsoft I found that I had earlier purchased Office 2010 so have an account with Microsoft and get Word for no additional monthly fee (at least so far). Any tablet 10 or under will not come with Word, or at least that is the research I found. The battery life is fairly good. I mirrored three movies and went from 98% to 68%. With thoughtful use the battery life will not be an issue for me. I also purchased a Galaxy tablet for dummies book. A good investment to get total value from the device. Very happy, would definitely recommend to others and purchase for others.

If you are looking for an Android tablet this is a good buy. In out family we have a Tab S2,S4 and S6. Al work great and believe it or not all work almost the same and just as fast as the other, with the S2 just a tad slower. The S4 speed vs. S6 are pretty much the same. Screen quality is same. Both are equally the same to use but the S-pen on the S6 needs to be charged and controls other features which we dont use. For the Money the Tab S4 would be my top choice over all Samsung tab s series tablet right now.

Very good

Ive been planning on buying this tablet since last year. Great screen quality, great pen and note taking experience. Very responsive. I just hope there are more options for android note taking and pdf annotation applications. Other than that, this is a perfect tablet. I will not exchange the customizability of samsung/android tablet over an apple tablet. The performance is not that far apart and this is much cheaper. Though I hope android gets the same level of note/pdf annotation applications that apple tablets enjoy. If the Drawboard PDF releases an android version of its program, then this would be the best tablet.

I owned Galaxy Tab S2 and Tab S3 and was very happy with them, so I had high expectations from Tab S4. The tablet turned out an incremental improvement over S3: slightly faster, better screen, better battery life. However, two design choices make the devise less user-friendly compared to Tab S3. The fingerprint sensor was replaced by an iris scanner, which does not work as well, especially in landscape mode, where I have to change my grip on the device. In addition, some apps have a very convenient fingerprint identification feature, which does not work with S4. Another downside are on-screen buttons. In some cases you have to touch the screen to see them. Worse yet, in some cases you cannot see them at all, for example, with YouTube is in a full-screen mode. You have to exist the full-screen mode to access the buttons. On-frame buttons of Tab S3 are much more convenient.

I bought it so I didnt have to bring my laptop to school seeing it is so heavy, but I brought it to school and it did not serve the purpose because it would not allow for me sign on to my wifi, I used hotspot also did not work. The information given was wifi use so if it says that I expect for it to allow me to use wifi, and then when I am trying to return it just 3 days past the return deadline the seller tells me its too late and their hands are tied. unfair unfair unfair and unreliable

The charging is pretty slow, some games dont run smooth when they should, and web browser crashes. But its a nice device i enjoyed using the pen. But i would wait for a huge drop in price or until all bugs are fixed.
