GadgetGuy’s take

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5 is an evolution that won’t force Tab S3 or S4 buyers to upgrade. But if you want the best Android tablet, this is it. The new 2K screen and 7040mAH battery alone are amazing enough. And it will have all the Android 9 smarts, fingerprint reader, and more.
