South Korean technology firm Samsung has unveiled two new tablets-Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 and Galaxy Tab A 10.5, prior to the scheduled launch of Galaxy Note 9 in New York next week. The first product is a powerful alternative to the Apple iPad Pro, while the second device is a kid-friendly tablet designed to keep your little ones entertained, said a BGR report, adding that there is no word on when the device will be launched in India. 
 
The new Galaxy Tab S4, which is a successor to last year’s Galaxy Tab S3, brings in smart improvements and one of the major changes is DeX support, a PC-like mode that Samsung has added to its smartphones and tablets, said the report. Earlier, we had to connect the smartphone to a DeX dock to enable the mode, but now you no longer need a dock to connect the tablet and enable DeX mode with the Tab S4 10.5.
 
Once the mode is enabled, apps will relaunch in resizable windows, making it easier for buyers to drag around. The tablet reportedly supports two screens– the main tablet screen, and an external monitor that can be connected over HDMI. Earlier, the DeX mode used to disable the phone’s screen, but this has reportedly been corrected in the new device.
 

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 price and availability: The 64GB Wi-Fi only model is priced at $650 (roughly Rs 44,500), while the 256GB variant is priced at $750 (approximately Rs 51,300). Shipping will start from August 10. There is an LTE model also that will be available later, but no details are available, the report said. For using DeX, you can use it with the keyboard case that is sold separately for $150 (roughly Rs 10,300), or you can connect any other Bluetooth keyboard or mouse.
 
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 specifications and features: The new Samsung Galaxy Tab boasts of a massive 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display, running at a resolution of 2560x1600pixels, and an aspect ratio of 16:10. The device also has thin bezels compared to its predecessor, while Samsung has done away with the physical home button, and capacitive Android navigation buttons, focusing on the on-screen only, the report added.
 
Featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC with an octa-core CPU, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 256GB onboard storage options, the Samsung tablet reportedly comes with 13-megapixel rear and 8-megapixel front cameras. It boots Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box, comes with 7,300mAh battery, has a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer, a microSD card slot for expandable storage, and a 3.5mm headphone jack too.

Samsung has reportedly added quad speakers tuned by AKG and Dolby Atmos support. The device, however, has no fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication, but comes with an Iris scanner and Face Unlock feature, the BGR report said, adding that there is Bixby voice support to allow you to speak to the tablet to get things done, besides Google Assistant.
