Powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM, the Galaxy Tab S3 features 32GB of onboard storage, which can be bumped to 256GB via its microSD expansion slot. The tablet’s 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536 QXGA resolution screen offers HDR support and is downright mesmerizing. Accompanied by its quad AKG speaker, it makes for a sweet media-consuming device. It’s also one of the brightest tablets we’ve seen with a peak brightness of 441 nits, which tops the 9.7-inch iPad Pro’s 432 nit score. Performance-wise, the tablet scored 3,765 in our Geekbench 4 test. In real world use, it felt snappy and didn’t show any lag, whether we were watching a high-res movie, playing a game, or flipping between apps. You can expect to get about 8 hours and 45 minutes of battery life from the device, which is 30 minutes under the category average for tablets. Still, if you want a premium tablet experience and can’t afford to drop $649 on a new iPad Pro, this $444 tablet won’t disappoint.
