The Samsung Galaxy S10 series isn’t here yet but we do have a new Galaxy device in town and it’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e.

It features quad-speakers too tuned by AKG and then there’s the 16:10 10.5 -inch display with 2560×1600 resolution.
Don’t get fooled with that ‘e’ in the name as the tablet features a metal body and it has a thin profile. You can also plug in an optional book cover keyboard on the tablet and even use it in DeX mode for a laptop-like experience.
Inside the tablet is a Snapdragon 670 chipset and you can get it at these memory options: 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB but don’t worry because you can even expand it via MicroSD card slot up to 512GB. There’s a decent 7040mAh battery inside too which is more than enough and a USB-C port. Unfortunately, you have to use a dongle as the tablet doesn’t support headphone jack. The tablet will also have a fingerprint scanner built into the power button and then there’s the 8MP selfie camera and 13MP front camera
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e will be priced at $460 in the US. No word regarding local availability.
