Nice

No finger print reader

Good totally what I was expecting

great product

Package arrived on time and it worked perfectly.

I got this tablet to use for taking, storing, and organizing notes for my college courses. As a serious note taking device, it severely falls behind. Its really good for light note taking and minor drawing, but theres a lot that it lacks in that realm. For starters, the tablet is a little longer and skinnier than Id prefer. Its kind of awkward when writing in portrait, and slightly less awkward in landscape, but still weird. The S-Pen feels really nice but also has some drawbacks. The pens accuracy is greatest in Samsung Notes, which personally, has a long way to go. Squid is the second best app for writing, but other than that, there are no other writing apps that work well with the tablet. The latency in other apps are bad enough to not even bother using the S-Pen. The button on the the S-Pen is ill placed and I accidently press it more than Id like. I honestly shouldve returned it but I was past the return date. If you want a tablet to watch movies on and occasionally jot down a few things, this is it. Ill admit the screen is incredible, but as far as what I wanted it for, I honestly regret buying..

It is to bad they do not make the bixby button customizable so it can be used for other things if you choose not to use bixby.

When given the opportunity to test drive Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S4 as an Insider, I didn’t expect it to become my dream tablet with many features setting it apart from the competition. The S Pen comes standard. With the S Pen you gain the ability to do things such as write notes, sign documents, or doodle directly on the screen. It’s pressure sensitive and incredibly accurate, but the greatest thing about the S Pen is that it just works without needing to be charged. Ever. The app selection exceeded my expectations. The productivity and social media apps I use every day look great, but what really stands out on the Tab S4 is multimedia. Video looks incredible with HDR support on the bright and colorful Amoled display, and with a 16:10 aspect ratio, movies are rich and immersive. What really surprised me was how great everything sounds. The Tab S4 has 4 AKG tuned speakers, plus Dolby Atmos support. Watching movies and listening to music on this tablet is an experience not to be missed. DeX equals productivity. Turning on DeX Mode lets your tablet function much like a PC. DeX lets you keep multiple windows open on the screen with a tool bar at the bottom. I was concerned that a tablet would struggle to run multiple tasks simultaniously, but here I am streaming music, surfing the web, answering email, and writing this review all at once without any issues. This tablet is a multitasker’s dream. Pair the Tab S4 with Samsung’s Book Cover Keyboard for a fully immersive PC-like experience. I never expected to enjoy the Tab S4 as much as I do, but it’s become my go-to device for reading, writing, watching video, and offering a more fun and enjoyable experience than I’ve ever had with a tablet.

The Galaxy Tab S4 is a great option when you don’t want to take your laptop with you while understanding what it is intended for. The key to this device is its ability to function like a tablet but have the power to function like a laptop. Having the Samsung DeX, by far, sets itself apart from other tablets on the market. With DeX you can truly have that laptop experience in a very portable device. The Galaxy Tab 4 excels in emails, watching movies, internet browsing and minor creating/editing of spreadsheets and/or PowerPoint presentations. The Android version of Office is what sets the unit back from being a true replacement for a laptop. The size of the device is perfect for travel and the Galaxy Tab S4 really shined when it came to watching movies. Watching 2 movies during a recent flight was simply amazing due to the Super AMOLED screen. The clarity of the screen, in my opinion, is unmatched, when comparing to other tablets. The battery will do the job for a four-hour flight with plenty left over to watch another movie. Samsung quoted the battery lasting 16 hours for video playback which may be a little overstated as I was able to get the battery to last 11 to 12 hours. The S-Pen, which is included, worked great for jotting notes and this too worked seamlessly with the device except in DeX mode. There are only 2 areas I think need improvement: First: backlit keyboard on the keyboard cover. Everyone who has every owned a keyboard much prefers a backlit keyboard. Second, better storage option for S-Pen. The S-Pen holder is located on the keyboard and the S-Pen got hung up in my bag several times. Pros: • Screen quality • DeX • Ease of use • Included S-Pen • Having a tablet and laptop in one device Cons: • Keyboard isn’t backlit • Better storage option for S-Pen
