MWC 2017: Samsung Unveils Galaxy Book And Galaxy Tab S3 Tablets

There’s also a 5 MP selfie snapper that should do just fine for video calls, but don’t expect it to take your next Instagram profile picture.

Close on the heels of the images of the Samsung tablet emerging online, which revealed that it will have AKG audio support, the full specifications of the Galaxy Tab S3 have leaked hours before its MWC debut.

We’re also still waiting for price and availability information, but you can register for updates on the Samsung website.

HMD also announced the global launch of its Nokia 6 Android smartphone, previously only available to Chinese customers, and also unveiled two new Android devices, the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5.

The Korean tech giant has become a master of design and build with its Galaxy products (and others), forming a distinct style emerging since the Galaxy S6.

Galaxy Tab S3 vs Galaxy Tab S2 summary: What’s the difference?

For starters it’s astonishingly thin at just 6mm. The back is made of glass and the frame is made of metal. The Samsung Galaxy S8 will be showcased to the world at an Unpacked event on March 29 in NY.

Further, the Tab S3 has a set of pogo pins along the bottom which can connect to Samsung’s own keyboard, which allows the keyboard to avoid the pairing process and doesn’t need to be charged.

The tablet has a home button once again, as per the launch event invitation hint, and this contains a fingerprint scanner. It is expected to boast a 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels.

While David Lowes, the chief marketing officer of Samsung’s European business, was on stage, a well-dressed protestor walked on holding a sign with a recycle logo and the words, reuse, recycle and rethink. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 does not fail to impress us at any point. You can always add more if needed via the Micro-SD card slot. On the connectivity front, the device support 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, USB Type-C and Global Positioning System. It is the world’s biggest smartphone maker and has been for the last five years or so, capitalising on a consumer revolution the size of which has never been experienced before. The device houses a large 6000 mAh battery on-board with fast charge support. In the back we find a 13MP camera and on the front a 5MP camera. We got some hands-on time with the Galaxy Tab S3 at the company’s stand and here are our first thoughts. It has four speakers and will ship with the company’s S Pen stylus.

The S Pen includes more than 4000 levels of pressure sensitivity, and doesn’t require any charging or Bluetooth tethering to the tablet. The newer OS multi-window support isn’t anything new on Samsung tablets, but its under-the-hood performance and power efficiency upgrades should make the S3 much more pleasant to use. Galaxy Books also use Flow to sync up notifications from Samsung phones, as well as share content and respond to messages.
