Samsung Malaysia Electronics announced the availability of the Galaxy Tab S3, a stylishly designed tablet with advanced computing technology offering a premium mobile experience.

“The Galaxy Tab S3 is carefully crafted with versatile features and functionality that provide a dynamic user experience.

“This tablet represents Samsung’s commitment to expand its tablet portfolio with premium technology and deliver the best of entertainment and productivity for users at home, work or on the go,” said Hosea Heen, Samsung Malaysia Electronics head of mobile business.

Building upon its signature design, the Galaxy Tab S3’s minimal and refined design was achieved by affixing glossy, reinforced glass panels to an aluminium frame, resulting in seamless aesthetics.

The Galaxy Tab S3 provides premium Galaxy technology including an enhanced S Pen, which allows users to be more productive, creative, and to multi-task.

The Galaxy Tab S3 is the first Samsung tablet to boast powerful quad-stereo speakers crafted by AKG by Harman in each corner of the device.

Housing a superb 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display with HDR (High Dynamic Range) video content support, the Galaxy Tab S3 also displays stunningly vivid images with true-to-life colours.

Unveiled at this year’s Mobile World Congress, the Galaxy Tab S3 delivers on Samsung’s legacy of innovative Galaxy technology including a 13-megapixel rear camera with auto focus and a 5-megapixel front camera for high-quality photos.

The tablet also includes expandable storage and more power efficiency with fast-charge capabilities, supporting up to 12 hours of video playback.

Mobile entertainment is taken to the next level as the tablet provides a cinema-like experience with 4K video playback on its Super AMOLED display. Highly optimised for gaming, the Galaxy Tab S3 also comes equipped with Vulkan API for superior graphics and the new Game Launcher for an enhanced user interface and personalised gaming experience, as well as modes like ‘Do Not Disturb’ for uninterrupted gameplay.

Samsung Flow uses biometric authentication for a safe and secure login and can wirelessly tether compatible devices to transfer documents from a mobile device to a tablet. It also syncs message notifications so users will never miss an important text message, whether they are using a smartphone or their tablet, making working on the go seamless.

For power users always on the go, the Galaxy Tab S3 also supports Pogo keyboards as no charging or pairing is required. The tablet’s dedicated Pogo pin-connected keyboard locks into place securely so users can get to work quickly, and features a streamlined layout that optimises key spacing to promote accurate typing. USB Type-C compatibility, meanwhile, provides more convenient cable connections as well as much faster data transfers. The Pogo Keyboard Cover comes in gray colour and retails at RM499.

A new selection of Galaxy Tab S3 covers will give stylish users the option to pair their tablet with soft-coloured Book Covers that feature powdery matte finishing and a lightweight design to complete the device’s stylish look.

Its dual usage mode—Viewing Mode or Touch Mode—makes it perfect for propping the tablet up to touch with ease or standing it up to watch movies comfortably. The Book Covers are also designed to magnetically attach the S Pen for quick access.

Available in black, white and green colours, the Book Covers retail at RM199.

The Galaxy Tab S3 is available in Malaysia at Samsung Experience Stores nationwide, including e-commerce partners Lazada and 11street, as well as authorised dealers starting June 1.
