Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e 64GB Review

The 3-Minute Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Review

Work While on the Move

The Specifics:

Samsung released the Galaxy Tab S5e this February, targeted towards people that want to work on the go but wish to stay with android devices. With many companies shifting away from tablets as the large screen smartphone era is taking over. I am happy to say that Samsung didn’t step away from producing such handy devices.

The Galaxy Tab S5e has been fitted with a super AMOLED 10.5-inchdisplay and has a super thin and lightweight body due to its aluminium frame, making it only weigh in at 400g.

Running the Qualcomm SDM670 Snapdragon 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage, and managed by Android 9.0 Pie. The Tab has a massive 7040mAh and comes with a 13MP primary camera and 8MP selfie camera.

The Best:

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e has ample storage and the option to expand it making this device so versatile in today’s work environment as we have become more dependent on storage than ever.

They managed to fit a fingerprint reader on the side on this super thin device, and even though the size may fool you, this reader is snappy and fast. If you want added security measures, it comes with a face unlock feature.

Even though the battery size is massive, Samsung gave us the option of warp charge, making this even more portable and useful on the go.

The Bugs:

The S5e tablet could have benefited from larger RAM, and newer chipset as this may leave the device laggy at times, but at this price point, we can’t complain. 

The headphone jack is missing on this device, but the upside is that it has a fantastic quad-speaker setup.

Is it for you?

Are you one of those people that like to work on the go and feel that a laptop is just too big and a smartphone to small, well this is the answer. With the premium quality from Samsung and affordable price point, how could you not add this to your work life?

What we like

The Tab S5e gives you fantastic versatility with its pogo keyboard and stand support. This device now supports the new Bixby, but mostly prefers to use Google assistant.

We appreciate the price point of this device as it gives you excellent value for money. Samsung worked in partnership with Dolby Atoms and AKG to give you excellent surround sound with its 4-speaker setup to honestly give you an immersive experience.

What we don’t like

There is little to hate about this tablet, but some do feel the lack of a headphone jack limits your options when it comes to video editing, but you can use Bluetooth speakers to combat that. The Samsung One UI was a little glitchy, but this was fixed with the latest update, just proving how well Samsung listens to their customers.

Should you buy it?

Yes, if you want to make your work life so much easier, then this is the best buy for you. Working on the go has never been this easy as the Tab S5e is so light and versatile that you fall in love with it.
