With its refreshed design, the tablet is intended to embody practicality and style, says Samsung. With an incredibly thin, 5.5mm sleek metal body, and weighing only 400g, it’s ultra-portable. It is available in a range of colours, including silver, black, and gold, so one can choose a look that reflects one’s style.
“The Tab S5e is a top-tier tablet with a sleek design and powerful features, available at a new price point,” said DJ Koh, president and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division, at Samsung Electronics. “For users who want intelligence that keeps them connected so they can get more done — as well as a big, beautiful screen for a rich, premium entertainment experience — the Tab S5e delivers.”
The tablet packs a large 7040mAh battery, which provides battery life up to 14.5 hours. The latest Android operating system is also optimised for performance.
Intelligence Built-In
As the first Samsung tablet to feature the new Bixby 2.0, it offers a smarter and more convenient way to interact with the and serves as an ideal hub to control connected home devices. Switch on the TV and lights at the same time with “Quick Command”, which allows for several actions to be performed from one command — making voice control of one’s home environment faster and more personalised.
One can expect to experience content in sharp detail on its Super AMOLED display, with a 16:10 screen ratio and no visible home key. The tablet offers a 10.5-inch edge-to-edge display with slimmed-down bezels to create an 81.8% screen-to-body ratio.
Its crisp visuals are complemented with rich sound, thanks to its Quad Speakers that incorporate auto-rotate stereo technology for powerful, louder audio that adapts to how one holds the tablet (portrait/landscape). It features Dolby Atmos integration and sound by AKG, for immersive 3D sound. With Spotify preloaded and a free premium subscription of up to 3 months for new members, it allows one to stream tunes uninterrupted.
