Almost perfect...
By Iluv2raceit on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017
This is an outstanding tablet and worth every penny I spend on it. I was lucky enough to get a refurbished 32GB Verizon cellular unit on sale for $399 (insane price!) and have no regrets. Here's a quick list of Pros and Cons: Pros - Absolutely gorgeous OMLED HDR display (2048 x 1536 resolution; 264 pixels per inch); even better than my iPad Pro's 10.5 inch DCI-P3 True Color IPS HDR Promotion (120Hz) display, which is something to be said! - OMLED display screen brightness much improved; over 30% brighter than my 'old' 2014 Samsung Tab S - Expandable memory (up to 256GB); the total amount of expandable memory may increase with future Android OS updates... - More powerful processor and more RAM vs. the older Tab S2 (and my much older Tab S) - Fantastic sound from the quad-stereo speakers; tuned by AKG (in partnership with Samsung) and you can really hear the difference - Fast charging is really FAST with the right AC adapter (my unit included a fast charger in the box) - S pen included and works flawlessly with the tablet Cons - Price of this tablet brand new is just too much ($599); I don't recommend buying this tablet at full retail; wait for a sale or buy refurbished/used!! - The display's 4:3 aspect ratio is not ideal for watching most TV shows and movies which now have a 16:9 aspect ratio; because of this you will have to view almost all TV shows and movies in letterbox or zoomed format :( - Doesn't have a 16:9 aspect ratio display - see above for why this is bad (my opinion) - Hard to find a nice keyboard case; all have nearly identical designs - no clamshell cases yet available (i.e., incipio ClamCase - unfortunately only available for Apple iPads) Other thoughts: 1) It is truly mind boggling that not one manufacturer has designed a keyboard clam case (with hinged design) for the Tab S3. For now, you are stuck with only basic case options until some ingenious manufacturer wakes up and starts making the same kind of case designs already available for the iPads :-/ 2) The OMLED display in itself in my opinion is worth buying this tablet. Watching movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Movies Anywhere, and other media apps is absolutely amazing. Amazing colors, insane contrast ratios that just make everything look better. Even the iPad Pro 10.5 inch doesn't match this incredible OMLED display. Seeing is believing. Don't listen to me - go to a Best Buy or other electronics store and test drive the Tab S3 for yourself. Bring whatever tablet you have and compare them side-by-side to see for yourself. You will become a believer! Bottom line: I highly recommend this tablet to anyone looking for a premium tablet for regular media consumption (movies, mobile games, etc.) who either don't like Apple iPads or already have an Apple iPad and are still looking for something 'different'. Just try not to pay full price if you have the choice!

Terrible Battery life but good picture and performance
By A & T Hicks on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2023
It works very well and has a great picture but the battery life is absolutely horrible. Compared to other tablets I have had, this is the worst.
