Compared to theGalaxy Tab S3, the Tab S4 has a larger 10.5-inch 2560x1600 display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and slimmer bezels, allowing its footprint to be similar to its predecessor.[10] As a result, the Tab S4 no longer features afingerprint sensor or navigation and home buttons, and uses a facial andiris scanner instead.[11] The front-facing selfie-camera has been upgraded to 8 megapixels and can record in 1080p resolution.[12] The four stereo speakers have also been tuned byAKG and supportDolby Atmos surround sound.[13]
The front and back glass usesGorilla Glass 3 and the front doesn't have the Samsung logo.[14]
The Tab S4 comes withSamsung Experience 9.5, which is based onAndroid 8.1.0 Oreo.[15] The device's firmware was made upgradable toOne UI, which is based onAndroid 9, on a firmware upgrade rollout starting in April 2019.[16][needs update]

Samsung DeX is also natively supported and is launched on the device when a keyboard cover is connected.[19] The Tab S4 can run up to 20 multiple application windows simultaneously, and supports split screen, drag and drop, and right click functionality.[20] When connected to an external monitor, the screen can be used as atouchpad.[21]
The Tab S4 is included with an improved S Penstylus with a 0.7 mm tip and 4,096 pressure sensitivity levels, similar to the S Pen on theGalaxy Note 8.[22] It weighs 9.1 grams (0.32 oz) and supports features such as air commands, translation of on-screen text, screen-off memos, and live messages.[23]
A detachable keyboard accessory is also offered separately and magnetically latches onto the Tab S4.[24] It has a holster for the S Pen but does not include a touchpad, requiring users to rely on the touchscreen, S Pen or a bluetooth mouse for input.[25]
