Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T825 Tablet (9.7 inch, 32GB, Wi-Fi + 4G LTE + Voice Calling), Silver

Hi friends I would like to share my experience using Samsung Galaxy Tab s3 for 10-15 days. (Including my rating out of 10 in each mentioned category) 1. SCREEN: Superb SAmoled Screen with HDR ready so screen is excellent with 9.7 in. (10 Points) 2. CPU: It's more than OK however much be better with available Snapdragon Qualcomm Processor 835. Sometimes lags with heavy processing apps running simultaneously in background (7 Points) 3. STORAGE : About 20 GB user available. Could be 64 - 128 GB with such a costly Tablet. (5 Points) 4. S-PEN: Amazing doesn't need charging like previous model. Pressure sensitivity is better. Included Samsung Notes app is not as fluid as Google Keep (Notes taking app) or OneNote. However Offscreen handy note taking feature out due it. It means you don't have to unlock tablet just press the button given in S-Pen during touching the tablet screen. It activates the Offscreen note taking feature. After that just press the Power button to save it without going anywhere. (8 Points) 5. Samsung OS: Multi window is not available for all apps. Fast and responsive TouchWiz (launcher). Coupled with handy tools and free from crappie wares (useless apps). Includes Galaxy Apps store doesn't need because most apps available in Play store. My advice to use other available launchers with dark background to save battery. (6 Points) 6. BATTERY : With bunch of apps like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Jio Apps, Autodesk Sketchbook, Flipkart, Amazon, Ebay, Snapdeal, Compass, MS Office Apps(Word, Excel.. ), Google Keep, CamScanner, MX Player, Shareit, and off course Google Apps(Pre-installed Apps) , etc. it gives me approx. 1% down in 4-6 minutes while screen ON with mostly black background. And in standby mode with Mid Power Saving features ON 1-4% down in 8-10 Hours. Heavy battery draining takes during note taking using S-Pen. With continuously moderate browsing, 2 Hr movie, messaging, etc gives you 6-7 hours of JUICE from 95-100% battery until 10 % battery. With Adaptive Superfast Charging it takes full 3 Hrs to charge from 5-10% to 95-100%. Without Superfast charging it takes 6 hrs to charge from same level to 100%. My advice to use Fast Charging only when needed because it considerably reduces the life cycle of battery from 6-9 months. It can switched Off from Device Maintenance in Settings (7 Points) 7. SECURITY : Fingerprint is not very responsive as Apple however after placing approx. 1-2 sec it unlocks the tablet. Amazing Enterprise Security features with Samsung Knox. You can include personal files in Secure Folder and other information that precious to you. (9 Points) 8. CAMERA: Huge disappointment with quality of Camera. Low light camera features is not good. (6 Points) 9.GPU: Amazing no lag with Asphalt 8, Asphalt Extreme, Modern Combat, Modern Strike. Crisp and very detailed graphics. (8 Points) 10: LTE: Be clear that it is not VoLTE. Means to use Jio Sim install JioVoice. Configured with Cat 30 means 4G speed around 3 MBps. (8 Points) could be 10 if VoLTE enabled. 11. LOOK & FEEL: Premium looking tablet. Back panel is glassy however could be metal finished. Screen doesn't include Gorilla Screen or any other Scratch resistant screen. (7 Points) OVERALL: 7

The Best tablet

The device was dead on arrival even in a sealed pack. Hope I get a good one without any performance issues during replacement in a sealed product pack. Samsung has to improve its quality of products. This is my second device after a long time. Service centre in Gurgaon is also not all upto the mark. They don't know how to handle DOA products. Seems like they saw the device for the first time and were asking me to leave it for a day to rectify the issue and also had difficulty in registering the product in their system. Samsung needs to train their customer service center engineers as well with actual technicians rather than calling the managers for training n needs to rotate engineers for training on various product lines well in advance. My experience with LG mobile was too good as they replaced my LG G4 motherboard known issue even after 6 months out of warranty without any questions asked. Distributors n dealer should ask for penalty apart from regular fee from Samsung for shipping such defective products just right out of the box being shipped. Samsung should also try to replaced such DOA products through local brand stores immediately rather than shipping it back to vendor n getting it replaced immediately for better customer ratings.

Android sucks ,makes a good machine clumsy. i pad is a innovator , galaxy simply plays catch catch .. drawing ,pen is scratchy with parallax will never stand to apple ipad . but then it is next best ..i don't like android indexing, finding files ,storing etc. excellent sound ...good video , slow trifle, computing power . sleek , type c a plus , quick charge ,light ,very portable , bright ,cheaper to ipad ..mote familiar to smartphone users of android..bixby a farce ...no special apps ..a bigger smartphone ..nothing more

I have a complain about this Tab as it hangs continuously and needs to reset it. I have purchased it from Amazon but here there is no way available to make complain and get it repaired.

Am using this quite often and am rather pleased with this purchase. I find Samsung so much easier than fiddling around with other tablets..Great purchase.

Battery failure . Please don't buy this product .

Don't buy this tab, it has mother board and display issues. And service centre is pathetic, motherboard and display is not in stock.
