Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e and A 10.1

Samsung launched two new tablets, the Galaxy Tab S5e and the Galaxy Tab A 10.1, in India.  The Tab S5e is a thin metal frame design tablet which is 5.5mm slim and offers a big 10.5-inch Super AMOLED without adding much to its size and weight.

The proprietary Samsung DeX support could add to the 2-in-1 experience that one would look from a tablet device. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e price in India starts at Rs 35,999 for the Wi-Fi-only model and goes up to Rs 39,999 for the Wi-Fi + LTE variant. The tablet comes in Black, Gold, and Silver color options. I got my hands on the Wi-Fi model and here's my first impressions of it.


The Galaxy Tab S5e is a fragile tablet from Samsung, probably their most delicate frame device to date. It is only 5.5mm thick and is very lightweight at around 400 grams. The Tab S5e features a big 10.5-inch WQXGA (2560x1600 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen-to-body rate is also impressive at 81.8 percent. Samsung has kept the bezels minimum possible so that one could easily hold the tablet without accidentally touching the display.


Under the hood, the Galaxy Tab S5e features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 SoC coupled with 4GB RAM. The internal storage is considerably less at 64GB, but the expandability option of additional microSD card storage is present. You can expand up to 512GB with a microSD card. Both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+LTE variant sports 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage.


The Galaxy Tab S5e sports two single cameras. The back flaunts a 13-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and an 80-degree field of view. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.0 and the same 80-degree field of view. For a big-screen device, you also need a big battery, and hence Samsung has packed a 7,040mAh battery on the Galaxy Tab S5e. Samsung claims that it can deliver 14.5 hours of video playback time on a single charge. Samsung has also provided 15 watts of fast chargers in the box.


The Galaxy Tab S5e also comes preloaded with the company's DeX mode. The tablet offers 2-in-1 experience with the dedicated mode, which replicates the personal computer experience with the Book Cover Keyboard with built-in pogo pin connector. Although, Samsung doesn't bundle the Book Cover Keyboard with the tablet, and it needs to be purchased separately. To achieve a laptop-like experience, the tab can now support up to 20 windows operations on a single screen with improved UI. Moreover, users can enable the DeX mode the tab and use it with a bigger monitor display.


In addition to the DeX mode, Samsung has also brought its Call-Message Continuity feature to the Tab S5e, a feature that allows users to answer a call or reply to a message of connected Samsung Galaxy phone from the tab itself. Something similar to Apple's continuity feature Handoff. Other interesting features include, four AKG-tuned speakers, which are powered by Dolby Atmos 3D surround sound technology. The 'Family Share', which lets Samsung users share between multiple accounts, and Face unlock is also present. In terms of connectivity, the tablet gets Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac support. There is no 3.5mm audio port, but Samsung will provide a Type-C converter in the retail box.


The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e appears an impressively slim profile tablet device for now. During my limited time, I couldn't check the productivity performance, but Dex support and the Keyboard cover felt alright to me. After a long time, I used a tablet this thin and lightweight. Samsung has done an excellent job there. What I would like to see is how it performs in real life, and for that, you'll need to wait for the full review.
