World's leading smartphone-maker Samsung unveiled the new line of tablet series Galaxy Tab S5e and Tab 1 10.1 in India.
The Galaxy Tab S5e is the top-end among the two. It flaunts metallic uni-body design language with 10.5-inch full HD+ super-AMOLED immersive display having 82.1-percent screen-to-body ratio.
Under-the-hood, it houses Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 octa-core chipset backed by Android Pie OS, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, 13MP primary camera, an 8MP front snapper and a massive 7,040mAh battery, which can offer up to 14.5 hours of video playback. With such big battery, Dolby Atmos integration with sound by AKG, for immersive 3D sound and massive display, consumers will have a good time binge-watching TV series and movies on multi-media streaming apps.
It also comes with compatible Keyboard cover accessories, which will come in handy for work-related tasks such as creating a keynote presentation. It offers top-of-the-line security such as face unlock and fingerprint scanner to protect data.
Also, it comes with Call-Message Continuity feature that allows users to answer a call or reply to a message directly from their tablet to enhance communication—even when the phone is left at home. The Galaxy Tab S5e comes with the Family Share feature that allows users to add the Samsung accounts of their family members to a Family Group and share photos, events, and notes effortlessly with each other.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab A sports a metallic frame on the sides to offer sturdiness to the structure and on the front, it features 10.1-inch full HD display.
Inside, it comes with proprietary Samsung Exynos 9704 octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, 8MP primary snapper, a 5MP sensor on the front for video chatting and a 6,150mAh cell, which is more than enough to keep the device running for a whole day.
The Galaxy Tab A also comes with Kids Home app, which helps children develop creativity, the company claims. Parents can launch Kids Home on the Quick Panel and set up children’s playtime, allowed apps and media. Galaxy Tab A 10.1 comes bundled with a range of Lego game content and native apps like My Art Studio, Crocro Adventure, etc. The new Galaxy Tab A 10.1 ensures that users can monitor kids’ screen time and what they access. It also enables users to protect their children from accessing potentially harmful content. The Parental Control feature lets the user set time limits for children’s use of the device.
