Samsung’s latest Galaxy Tablets on sale now

When it comes to tablets most people only think of one brand, but in reality there’s some shockingly great tablets out there from a range of brands – and the latest from Samsung is a stunner.

On sale now, the Galaxy Tab S5e is the thinnest tablet Samsung have made, which is amazing to me, given the Galaxy Tab S4 was just crazy thin already.

Coming in at just 5.5mm thick, it’s strange to hold frankly, but – you get used to it:)

Aussie pricing puts the S5e at $649 with WiFi and 64GB of storage, if you’re looking for something a touch cheaper, then the all-new Galaxy Tab A 10.1 will hit the spot at $349.

The Tab S5e has DeX capabilities which means it can operate in a PC like mode with the DeX operating model, or just add the Book Cover for simplicity – this thing really is ultra-portable.
