It also features four speakers tuned by AKG and Dolby Atmos immersive sound technology for great audio experience. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Octa Core (2.35GHz + 1.9GHz) processor, up to 4GB RAM/256GB storage and support for microSD up to 400GB. Thanks to its 7,300mAh battery, this device can last up to 16 hours on video playback. And yes, it supports S Pen as well.

The main highlight of this device is its new software experience. The Galaxy Tab S4 comes with Samsung DeX for the first time. When the Tab S4 is connected to the optional Book Cover Keyboard, a desktop experience through which you can open multiple desktop-style windows for your Android apps will be displayed. You can also drag and drop content between apps and use keyboard shortcuts for efficiency. You can also extend Samsung DeX to an external monitor with a compatible HDMI to USB-C multi-port adapter.
