Both the visual and audio departments seem to have been taken care of. On the communications front, we have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. Succeeding the Galaxy Tab S2, this upgraded version also carries with itself a pen which does not require charging. This pen comes in two colors according to their respective models, black and silver. Along with the hardware stylus, Samsung has also bundled software like Samsung Notes, Soundcamp, and Pen.UP. The device also comes with Samsung cloud and Samsung flow which will allow syncing both the phone and tablet together. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 currently retails for $599.99 (approximately Rs 38,600). Coming to India, we expect the premium tablet to be priced in the same range.
