What it is like to use
The 14.6-inch screen is close to a small laptop. You can run two or three apps side by side, take notes with the S Pen while a video call runs, or use Samsung DeX with a keyboard cover for work. Galaxy AI and Gemini help you summarise notes, translate and search what is on your screen. For drawing and photo editing, the S Pen and the bright AMOLED panel make a strong pair.

- Students, architects, designers and business users who want a laptop-sized screen in a tablet.
- Anyone who wants 5G data on a big screen without carrying a hotspot.
