What Are the Features of Samsung Tablets?

Run two apps on the same screen

Samsung Galaxy Tablets have multi-window mode, which allows you to split these large screens into two parts to run completely separate applications at the same time. Write-out your shopping list while scrolling through an online recipe. Draw along with a Youtube video. Edit your schedule or spreadsheet while on a video call. Or stream yourself playing a mobile game on Twitch.

Pause screen when you're not looking

Samsung Smart-pause uses your front-facing camera to pause your videos when you're not looking. Great for making it through an episode without needing to rewind after distractions or for passing a video to friends or family without teaching them how to unpause.

Differences from iPads

While iPhone users may think the only tablet for them should be an iPad, think again. Samsung Galaxy tablets have better cameras and more apps. They don't run out of memory as quickly as iPads because most Galaxy tablets have microSD expandable memory slots. They cost less than iPads, and buying your Samsung Galaxy Tab from Sam's Club means paying members-only prices. You won't get those deals from Apple.

What to Consider when Buying Samsung Tablets

Storage Capacity

Is this device just for connecting to the internet? Or are you going to download music, movies, apps and games? Each tablet starts with a stated amount of integrated memory for storage: either 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB or 128GB. But, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A and Samsung Galaxy Tab E offer expandable memory via microSD cards. These cards can offer up to an additional 512GB of memory for movie-junkies and gamers.

Battery Life

If you're going to be using your tablet for work, don't get something that won't last through the workday. If you're not playing power-intense games the whole time, Samsung tablets will last between 9 and 13 hours of active use on a single battery charge. But, if you need to get a jump during a lunch-break, Fast-Charging is available for some tablets to can recharge your device by more than 50% in just one hour.

Screen Size

Do I need the tablet for handheld work or for watching movies on the go? Screen sizes fluctuate from an oversized-smartphone 7-inch to the small laptop 10.5-inch.

Do I need a stylus?

If a big purpose for this tablet is drawing and sketching, you should be looking for models that support a stylus pen. Some Galaxy Tabs can support drawing devices, but you may need to look towards the Samsung Note devices for the best support in this case.

FAQ - Samsung Tablets

How do I clean my Samsung tablet?

To physically clean your device, purchase a screen-cleaner spray and a microfiber rag, and gently mist the cleaner over the screen, avoiding the charging ports, speakers, microphone and headphone jacks. Wipe gently and avoid streaking.

To digitally clean your device, open your device settings, and under privacy, you should periodically clear the cookies and browsing history, as well as the cache. Apps may be slightly slower to load upon your next launch, and you may need to log back into certain apps and websites. But your device will be less bogged down by data.

Is there a warranty on Samsung Tablets?

Samsung Tablets have a 1-year limited warranty on the device, as well as parts that came with it.

When is the next Samsung tablet coming out?

Most Samsung Tablets are launched annually in the late summer and early fall, usually in August.

Can the Samsung tablet be used as a phone?

Some Samsung Tablets can be used as a phone independently with their own active phone plan, but not all of them. They connect to a Samsung smartphone with an active phone plan and then calls can be routed to the tablet when the phone is nearby.
