After Samsung Electronics
introduced the Galaxy Tab in 2010, it revolutionized the way we work and play,
especially in a world that is increasingly on the go. Thirteen years since the
launch of the first Android tablet, Samsung is continuously taking productivity,
creativity and entertainment to new heights as the premium standard for tablets
with each new Galaxy Tab S series.
Here's how the Galaxy Tab
has evolved in eight generations:
It all started when
Samsung introduced the world’s first true Android tablet— the Galaxy Tab (7.0),
in 2010. It has a compact and excellent build, first available in 7-inch,
followed by 8.9-inch and 10.1-inch versions.
Coming off the success of
its first tablet, Samsung slimmed down its Galaxy Note 10.1 in 2012. The S Pen was
introduced as every Galaxy Tab’s partner in bringing forward multitasking and
entertainment features. When removed from its slot, the tablet activates a
taskbar with quick access to optimized S Pen apps – a precursor to Air Command,
which has features such as setting icons, adding shortcuts and screen write.
It was in 2013 when
Samsung unlocked another innovation: the easy-to-hold Galaxy Note 8-inch tablet
with Smart Remote features, which allows users to control TVs and Blu-ray/DVD
players. The following year, the Galaxy Tab Active came with a fresh design
built for tough work, including a waterproof feature and the C Pen, the more
durable version of the S Pen which can withstand a 1.2-meter drop with just its
protective shell.
It was also in 2014 when
Samsung unveiled its first premium line— Galaxy Tab S, available in 10.5-inch
and 8.4-inch. It includes a high-end tablet with a Super AMOLED display and
Galaxy Gifts, a partnership with 30 top mobile content service providers. Its
successor, the Galaxy Tab S2, was released in 2015 to offer people premium and
all-new displays with a 4:3 aspect ratio designed for reading articles,
e-books, and surfing online content. Plus, it was pre-loaded with Microsoft
Office to enhance users' productivity further.
2017 was likewise a
worth-noting year with the Galaxy Tab S3 that has a 9.7-inch Super AMOLED
display. Samsung included its renowned S
Pen in its top-of-the-line tablet range, enabling special functions like PDF
Annotation and professional-level drawing. It delivered superior video and
gaming experiences, alongside its use as a productivity tool. Meanwhile, the
Galaxy Book with its 10.6-inch TFT LCD version and 12-inch Super AMOLED
version, delivered professionals enhanced computing power for work and play.
Come 2018, Samsung
further powered its premium line with the availability of Samsung DeX on its
Galaxy Tab S4, where users could have a PC-like productivity and mobility of a
tablet at once. It was also equipped with the 07mm S Pen which provided ease of
writing. For an immersive entertainment experience, the tablet boasted a 10.5
Super AMOLED Display, four 1.2W speakers powered by AKG and Dolby Atmos sound
technology.
Forwarding its
ultra-light specs, Samsung launched its Tab S5e with the thinnest frame in
2019, weighing less than a pound with added features that could control
connected devices with SmartThings, from lights and door locks to thermostats.
The Galaxy Tab S6 was also released the same year, which sported another huge
upgrade with 5G connectivity in early 2020, making it the world’s first 5G
tablet.
Samsung redesigned as
well the S Pen for more power and control, including a gesture function called
S Pen Air actions to take selfies and videos quicker and command multimedia
content. Meanwhile, the slim and lightweight modern-style Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
launched in May 2020 has a crystal-clear screen that can turn into an expanded
desktop workstation and send multiple windows to a Galaxy device of choice.
And in 2021, the Galaxy
Tab S7, S7+ and the Galaxy Tab S7 FE entered the lineup with more extensive
upgrades. Users can easily sync across Galaxy devices with Samsung Notes for
seamless productivity, helping users master multitasking with wireless
connectivity on the go. It also has a new “center stage” placement of its camera on a landscape view.
For its latest and most
versatile innovation yet, Samsung created the biggest and boldest Galaxy
tablets with a whopping 14.6-inch for its Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, 12.4-inch for
S8+ and 11-inch for the Galaxy S8 atop the fastest 4nm processor and Armor
Aluminum built for a more elegant and lightweight device experiences. And
that’s not all! The newest S Pen has the most precise and lowest latency of
2.8ms, down from 5.6ms on the S7+, working seamlessly with the Galaxy device
ecosystem and partners.
