The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 was unveiled at MWC 2017 on February 26, 2017. It features a 9.7" 2,048 x 1,536 Super AMOLED display which supports HDR video. The Tab S3 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of on board storage and a 6000mAh battery. It also comes with a new and improved S Pen. A first for the Tab S range of tablets.
The Galaxy Tab S3 is the first device from Samsung to run Android Nougat out of the box. For the first time since the Galaxy Tab 2, all the languages that were previously absent from other regions will be available.
The Verge criticized the cameras on the device, being "softened and smudged", the limitations on multitasking, and the cramped Pogo keyboard, whilst praising the integration of the S Pen and it being lightweight.
