Samsung packs a lot into its super-thin Galaxy Tab S5e

It’s quite hard to get excited about an Android tablet, but Samsung is hitting all the right notes with its latest middle-of-the road slab. A cheaper alternative to the flagship Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, this all-metal Tab S5e is just 5.5mm thin, and weighs in at an ultra-portable 400g. Russian Doll should look great on the 10.5in Super AMOLED display, and with quad AKG-tuned speakers on board, it shouldn’t sound too shabby either. As the the first Samsung tab to feature built-in Bixby, the S5e makes it easier than ever to load up your calendar and to-do lists. Add to that DeX compatibility and a more than capable octa-core Snapdragon 670 processor doing the heavy lifitng, and you’ve got a device that is as good for productivity as it is for Netflix. Pre-order from March.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
