The Tab S3 has a 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display running a 2,048 x 1,536 resolution, while the Tab S4 boasts a larger 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution. Samsung is known for producing some of the best screens, and both the Tab S3 and Tab S4 uphold Samsung’s strong reputation.
While the Tab S3 had a fingerprint sensor, we encountered a few problems with it in our review. The Tab S4’s refreshed design wins this round. The lack of a fingerprint sensor is a step back, as it will make the user experience a little more frustrating in tablet mode. Both are similar durability-wise, with glass you’ll want to avoid smashing and zero water resistance. The Samsung logo has gone away too, giving the front of the tablet a cleaner look. Samsung has also removed the home button - there’s just a power button and volume rocker at the top - and that also means there is no fingerprint sensor. Despite the larger 10.5-inch display, the Tab S4 is nearly the same size as the Tab S3. Samsung has shrunk down the bezels on the newer tablet, refreshing the look and giving us something that isn’t just an enlarged Galaxy S5. While the glass is apparently here to stay (Gorilla Glass 3 is on the front and back), there are quite a few design changes on the Tab S4. The Tab S3 had a boring, barely changed design, and a glass back that didn’t win it any awards for durability.
There’s an obvious winner here - the Galaxy Tab S4 is a clear upgrade.ĭesign and durability Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends Neither tablet supports wireless charging, but both have Samsung’s fast charging built-in. Expect the extra capacity on the Tab S4 to last even longer, with Samsung touting 16 hours of video playback. The Tab S3’s 6,000mAh battery held up well, lasting over 10 hours in our moderate- to high-use testing. The Tab S4 is also packing a larger 7,300mAh battery.

The Tab S4 has also seen an upgrade in storage, with 64GB available in the base model, and 256GB of storage available for an extra $100. It’s still a great chip though, and we naturally expect stronger performance from the Tab S4 over the Tab S3 as a result.īoth devices come with 4GB of RAM and the option to expand storage by MicroSD. It’s the same processor that ran the last generation of smartphones, like the LG V30 and the Samsung Galaxy S8. That chip was a generation behind when the Tab S3 launched, and it’s a similar story with the Tab S4, which will launch with the Snapdragon 835 processor. The Galaxy Tab S3’s performance was one of its stronger points, with the Snapdragon 820 processor easily handling most of the tasks we threw at it.
