Isn't Samsung's new tablet too thin?

Uh, it's thin ...!

When Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab S4, I thought "Oh, nice" for the Android OS, which has a cool design, long battery life, and Samsung's Dex (which can be used as a desktop when connected to a display). Thing. However, you didn't get the price and specifications. That's where the Galaxy Tab S5e comes in. Samsung has come here to revamp its flagship tablet all at once, launching an ultra-thin all-round tablet.

So what about the Galaxy Tab 5? Aside from the answer to that question, if the "e" in S5e is an "essential" e, it's possible that S5e has stripped away the extras and emphasized simplicity. (The rumors that Samsung is trying to build the third model of the Galaxy S10, the S10E, given the S5e's name, may not be the only rumor.)

Compared to the Galaxy Tab S4, the Tab S5e lacks only a built-in stylus and an iris recognition scanner. The processor is a Snapdragon 670, it should have an AMOLED touch screen with a size of 10.5 inches and a resolution of 2560 x 1600, a microSD slot, 4GB of memory, 64GB of storage, and an AKG speaker for $ 400 ( Approximately 44,200 yen) Clearly. It's calculated to be $ 250 (¥ 27,000) cheaper than the Galaxy Tab S4, and it's only $ 80 (¥ 8,840) different from the 9.7-inch iPad. Even considering that the memory of the iPad is 32GB and he is 2048 x 1536, he is an LED display. It may not be bad.

So, Samsung packs these specifications and functions tightly into a 5.5mm thin housing. By comparison, the Galaxy S9 + is 8.5mm thick, 3mm thick. The 9.7-inch iPad is 7.5mm thin, and even the new iPad Pro, which is vulnerable to bending, is 5.9mm. I'm wondering if the Tab S5e has been thoroughly tested for durability, but I just hope it's stronger than Apple's iPad Pro.

The new Tab S5e's battery is 7,040 mAh, which is a 5% smaller capacity than the Tab S4's 7,300 mAh battery. If you combine a large capacity battery with a processor that does not require much power, you can expect to have a terminal with excellent battery life. It could even last longer than the 13 hours already achieved with the Tab S4.

For those of you who want to work on your tablet or desktop, Samsung also has a Dex UI on your Tab S5e. You can work on your desktop when you need it. If you're a multitasker, I recommend the Tab S4 with the Snapdragon 835. Or if you pay an extra $ 130, you'll get the Tab S5e's included keyboard. Unfortunately, additional purchase is required as an option.

But if you're just thinking about using it for everyday use, such as checking the internet at home or checking your email, the $ 400 Galaxy Tab S5e is an alternative to a tablet that you've been using for four to five years and are thinking about buying a new one. Provides sufficient performance. It's better than the $ 330 iPad and Amazon product lines.

The Galaxy Tab S5e will sell for $ 400 around the second quarter of 2019. Available in three colors, gold, black and silver, LTE connectivity compatible models will be available from carriers later this year.
