When is the tab S4 coming out?

[Blues Fan]

Has anyone heard when the Tab S4 will be coming out?

No official word yet, but if the timeline stays consistent, it should be announced in Q1 2019 (Tab S was released in 2014, Tab S2 was released in 2015, but Tab S3 in 2017... so their tablet cycle seems to be two years now, not one as with phones).

Yea, the Tab s2 still seems to be a good seller. Best Buy and others still carry it.

I have the S3 and the pen makes it worth the price jump from the S2, IMHO. Plus newer internals and the better speakers.

I'm thinking about starting a small business and selling at the flea market so having a tablet I can run credit cards on it via wifi or mobile hot spot. I don't want to hand customers my expensive Note 8 each time to sign so a tab s3 in a thick case would be better. I could use the s2 but I always liek to have the newest device LOL.

I'd not use a Tab Sx for this, get a Tab E or something else cheap. And figure out how to fasten it down.

Will there be an 8inch version of the S3?

No, there won't.

 

[artie]

thank you. S2 will have to do.

I hope they release something next year to be at least a bit more competitive with the iPad Pro. The Tab S3 still retails for £600 in the UK and despite my deep dislike for iOS the S3 is a bad joke when compared to the iPad Pro 10.5. It's like they've given up.

 

[SpookDroid]

I wish they'd go back to 10.5" screens and in widescreen, but oh well. Tab S3 is pretty good so far. Battery life is amazing.

 

[M Stuart]

I'd prefer an exact clone of the iPad Pro (10.5" an 4:3) because 4:3 will give you a larger area for the same diagonal length and I believe it's a more balanced form factor where only video suffers a little bit, but at this point I would take a proper, updated version of my 16:10 Tab S without hesitating.

Best Buy has it on sale for $480 right now for Black Friday. It is usually on sale every couple weeks for $500.

It's been out since March and even on sale is not that good of a price when you think of it. The retail price should have been about $480 to begin with, not $600.

If it was on sale for $420 I would pick one up. But it's been out since March and I'd have to get it and 4 months later a new one is released.

I agree. I just replaced my Tab S 10.5 with a S3. I'll miss the screen ratio when I'm watching Netflix.

In that usage I'd rather get the 2015 Tab A 8 inch that has an S Pen. It's cheap, has an S Pen, and doesn't hurt the pocket as much as someone running off with a Tab S3.

I have a Tab S3 and I can say that it is the BEST tablet ever. What I'd like to see though is a multicore GeekBench score of at least 10300 so that it can be compared to Apple devices.

 

[Blues Fan]

So is there still any world about if Samsung will unveil the tab s4 in a couple months in Barcelona?

Would I be better using my Tab s2 for my business to operate my square register rather than spending $4 on the tab s3 or 4?

Tab S4 will be 2020 I can confirm this it will support HDR10+ alongside Snapdragon 855 which will feature a bezel less 18.5:9 display and underglaze scanner. Still workin on the camera we don't wanna do an iPhone notch. I'd like to recommend using a baseus tablet Holder neck use it however as you might cover the display. But this will mostly be an 8.5 inch and 10.5 inch but 10.5 is unlikely with Android P comes support for AI so we'd like to focus more on productivity as a pen is often neglected thus a waste we could've gone optional but then we had to do the 8.0 as well. Thus its wise to say it will be a 4k bezel less but nearly to provide some holding space and Dolby speakers NO DOLBY VISION but HDR 10+ unfortunately Netflix will not support HDR10+ on any mobile platform until the Dolby contract expires in 2022 so please we encourage to collect Samsung devices and television but go for a competitor Dolby supported display as a secondary standby. Regards.

HDR IS AVAILABLE FOR NETFLIX ON TAB S3 BUT PLEASE SWITCH TO AMOLED CINEMA AND ENABLE AUTO BRIGHTNESS. AMAZON PRIME VIDEO HAS NO SUCH REQUIREMENTS. WE RECOMMEND DOWNLOAD OF TITLES FOR BEST QUALITY but NOT on Netflix please stream as downloads are not in HDR for Netflix tomsave data and most downloaded content is 720p(HD) not 1080p(SUPERHD) we are working with Amazon for a possible solution of 1440p but this is unlikely as per industry formats but we do look to support UHD HDR stream which is of PRIME importance.

Please note such a stream will not work natively in 2160p as tab S3 isn't capable. But it will play such a video, even HDR just not display the entire video pixel. Think PS4 Pro natively outputting at UHD HDR but display at FullHD it'll be crisper for sure than a 1440p video. But this is just a possibility as mobile devices as looked upon for lowest data storage and highest resolution possible. We recommend to experience a better HDR viewing at Prime Video app available at galaxy apps store. Please disable Google play updates for this app as it caused issues in our testing for HDR titles. The label does not appear for certain HDR titles but they will play in HDR.

That has to be fake news. No way the Tab s4 comes out in 2020. So 3 years in between tabs?

If it can be done earlier is a possibility. But with the launch of 8k TV's a possibility next year this is very likely that a 2018 tab s3 version may exist.

Yes 2020 is the year of global expo thus we are able to confirm the delay.

In any case there will be a CES announcement in 2019 alongside the notebooks
