it's been a while since we've heard from Samsung's tablet division but this year at Mobile World Congress it's doing all tablets and it's going pretty big with them it's actually announcing three new tablet models it's got the new tab s3 which runs Android and then it's got two new Windows tablet models they're called the galaxy book line there's a galaxy book ten and a galaxy book 12 now the tab s3 is a successor to the tab s2 from a couple of years ago it's very similar in size and appearance 9.7 inch display Super AMOLED actually supports HDR this time around it's really thin metal frame what is new here is the new glass back so it's similar to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and glass and it's you know kind of fingerprint tea as you probably expect inside it's got a Snapdragon 820 processor kind of all modern specs and guts it runs Android 7.0 it supports multi-window multitasking are there hardware features four speakers one two three four and this year it supports an S Pen now it comes with the s-pen but the S Pen doesn't actually go inside of it but it still supports all the S Pen features you might expect you can take notes to screenshots capture gifts a lot of things at the note 7 debuted before it is Sapir the other thing that you can do with the tab s3 this year is get a new keyboard case and it connects my these pogo pins on the bottom snap it on and then you got your keyboard keyboard itself is plastic it's got a nice key travel it's actually pretty decent to type on so that's a tab s3 the galaxy book series which run Windows 10 like I said comes in two sizes you got the galaxy book 10 and the galaxy book 12 12 is probably the more interesting one obviously got the larger screen sports HDR it's a Super AMOLED display it is powered by a Intel 7th generation Core i5 fanless processor so it's got a lot of power still has the four speaker feature and still comes with an S Pen and it actually supports the same S Pen features as the Android model now the Windows versions come with a keyboard case it's not an additional option it's packed right in there and it's a larger keyboard and it's got a larger trackpad than on have Pro s which came out last year typing on these is actually pretty nice the key travels about 1.5 millimeters which is similar to what you get on a laptop so there's really no difference there you can adjust the screen a few different orientations to get the angle right such a really surprisingly nice typing experience on the go it connected value vote the same pogo pins as the Android model so it's really similar in that respect and the device itself is pretty snappy you know it's able to run all the windows apps fold this desktop apps Samsung's that you can even run Photoshop on it without problems so we'll have to see how well it does when we test it but so far in our initial impressions these devices are pretty impressive and pretty cool now what Samsung isn't saying is anything about price or availability so we're gonna have to hang tight for that and we'll be spending more time with these in the future we'll have plenty more to share we're at MWC in Barcelona Spain this week so we've got all this coverage on tablets and phones and everything else being announced so be sure you subscribe to our channels you know listening
