All-new glass design

Building on a heritage of stunning design, the light, slimline Galaxy Tab S3 is as premium as youโ€™d expect from Samsung. But what you wonโ€™t have seen before is the beautifully glossy glass back, giving it a smooth, luxurious feel.

Feast your eyes

When it comes to your viewing experience, the brighter the better. The Super AMOLED screen and HDR Video support means visual details appear stunningly vivid, with colours that look true-to-life.

Upgrade your view

From games to movies, the Galaxy Tab S3 offers a quality visual experience. Inside the Galaxy Tab S3 is a powerful Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM for you to perform complex tasks, multitask and play high-spec games. Plus, the Vulkan graphics take your gaming to a whole new level, while HDR Video support makes the scene come alive.

Four speakers, fantastic sound

The Galaxy Tab S3's quad-speaker system has sound coming from each corner, automatically following the direction mode of the screen. So you'll hear every note whether you hold it horizontal or vertical.

AKG Acoustics

We collaborated with AKG's skilled sound engineers to provide clear, crisp, and multi-directional sound that immerses you in your audiovisual experience.

Write naturally

The new, redesigned S Pen feels and writes just like your favourite ballpoint, plus it doesn't need recharging. Measuring 9.4 mm in diameter, it ensures a stable, comfortable grip. And we've narrowed the tip to 0.7 mm for the clearest, most natural handwriting yet.

Just your type

The dedicated keyboard offers easy typing with fewer typos thanks to its optimised layout. Plus the keyboard plugs directly in to the Galaxy Tab S3, making connectivity a breeze.

Game on

The Galaxy Game Launcher has been optimised for Galaxy Tab S3's screen, offering Power Saver Mode, Game Broadcasting, Mute Games and Ongoing Calls mode. Add in the exciting graphics of the Vulkan API and the many games available in the Galaxy Game Pack for non-stop fun.

Charge faster, play longer
