The Tab S4 will be available starting October 18 in Black and Grey colours on Samsung’s online shop and leading offline retail stores. The tablet will also be available on Amazon India starting October 20.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 specifications
The Tab S4 sports a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2560×1600 pixel resolution, 287 ppi and an aspect ratio of 16:10. The bezels around the display are slimmer compared to the Tab S3, allowing for a bigger, more immersive viewing experience. This also means there is no home button or fingerprint sensor on the tablet. It offers facial recognition as a biometric login.
Samsung’s flagship tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset coupled with 4GB of RAM. The tablet will be offered with 64GB of internal storage while the 256GB variant has not been launched in the country. The Tab S4 supports storage expandability up to 400GB via microSD card. Samsung is touting superior multitasking experience on the Tab S4 compared to its predecessor. The Galaxy Tab S4 will ship with Android Oreo out-of-the-box.
Apart from an immersive display, the Galaxy Tab S4 also offers four speakers (two on the top and two on the bottom) that are tuned by AKG and support Dolby Atmos sound. Notably, the Galaxy Tab S4 is also the first Samsung tablet to support Samsung DeX. All you need is an HDMI adapter (sold separately) to connect the tablet to your workstation. You can also launch DeX from the the on-screen quick panel to get a PC-like experience with a task bar and multi-window capability.
For a complete PC-like experience, you can also purchase a keyboard and mouse for the Galaxy Tab S4 as well. Once the tablet is connected to an external monitor, you can use the tablet as a track pad or sketch pad. You can also continue using the Tab S4 as an Android tablet, giving you two screens to work on.
