By Staff Writer, écoute moi
The Galaxy Tab S4 is an attempt to push Android tablets to the next level with 2-in-1 desktop-like software, and while it’s what we want to see from even the iPad. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is the only Android tablet that can be labeled as a true 2-in-1 that serves as a tablet and offers laptop-like mobility. Notably, it’s not as affordable as other Android tablets in the market either, reason being its high-end hardware and abundance of productivity features. Galaxy Tab S4, a new 2-in-1 Android tablet that comes equipped with Samsung Dex and S Pen,

But it still costs as much as Apple iPad, which is considered to be the best productivity tablet around. Precisely, it takes on the iPad Pro 10.5 with a bundled S Pen stylus, 64GB inbuilt storage and 4GB of RAM. It is Paired with Samsung Dex and S Pen, Galaxy Tab S4 is designed for those who need something portable like a tablet yet capable like a PC ,making it a perfect device for those who want to do more- anytime, anywhere.
Dex would transform the Galaxy Tab S4 into a device that will sit perfectly between the best Apple and Microsoft have to offer: a fully touch compatible device that works like a desktop when hooked up to a keyboard and mouse. Though it’s an useful feature, the Dex still feels like work in progress. For instance, the touch interface isn’t as touch-friendly, and for laptop like operations you need to invest in the optional keyboard cover which does not have a trackpad. You need to pair a Bluetooth mouse to navigate through the Dex interface.

The S Pen is an essential tool that makes full use of all the features that the Galaxy range offers. The S-Pen is expected to become even more stylish. Samsung includes a tablet-appropriate S Pen (larger than the Note smartphone S Pen), and this one is more rounded and feels more natural to hold than last year’s Tab S3 pen.
There’s a tiny metal protrusion in the middle of the stylus to prevent it from rolling away. There’s also a stylus holster that clips onto Samsung’s keyboard and it requires no charging whatsoever to use. S Pen functionality is typical of a Samsung tablet or Note phone. You can draw, jot down notes, annotate screenshots, translate text, and new this year (on the tablet at least) is the ability to send Live Messages.
The key selling points over the iPad here is the bundled S Pen (Apple Pencil is sold separately) and the option for memory expansion using a microSD card. Additionally, the new built-in Dex mode, which mimics a desktop interface and has second-screen capabilities. Samsung has done a fine job at putting this laptop-like mode with re-sizable windows, system tray and task bar without adding any bulk to the software.
There will be additional features, such as the interesting 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, of which we will learn more about once the Galaxy Tab S4 launches on October 18.
