The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is the best, albeit the only, Android tablet you can buy today with true 2-in-1 features that deliver tablet and laptop-like mobility.

Unfortunately, while it’s here to compete with Apple’s best iPad at productivity, it doesn’t get the job done and costs just as much.

It’s Samsung’s take on the iPad Pro 10.5, one with a similar 10.5-inch display, S Pen stylus, 64GB of storage, and 4GB of RAM – all at $650 (£599). Only, Samsung includes the S Pen for a better value (Apple Pencil is separate and expensive) and it allows for expandable microSD storage. So far, so good, Samsung.

The other selling point here is the built-in Dex software, which mimics a desktop interface and has second-screen capabilities.

You no longer need additional bulky hardware to switch over to this laptop-like mode, complete with re-sizable windows, task bar and system tray.

Dex feels like much-needed 2-in-1 progress on Android, but a 2-in-1 work-in-progress next to Windows and Chromebook laptops.

This user interface isn’t as touch-friendly, and there’s no track pad on the optional Tab S4 keyboard cover that we found most problematic. You need to bring a Bluetooth mouse and your own keyboard to get any work done.

Good news. The specs lie a little bit: it actually doesn't matter that the tablet is underpowered on paper with an early 2017 chipset that’s easily outpaced by Apple’s laptop-rivaling chip speeds. We’re more concerned with the fact that the price of the tablet increased to match the iPad Pro.

The truth is our biggest issue with all tablets has little to do with stagnant specs and hardware performance. It’s that they’re always confined by restrictive mobile-first apps and interfaces. Samsung Dex tries to make good on that 2-in-1 promise with a real system dock so you can quickly switch between apps like on a laptop.

And the Tab S4 does introduce a lot of good ideas that move tablets in the right direction, toward a more productivity-friendly interface. But that doesn’t make it a good buy next to the Microsoft Surface Go or one of the best Chromebooks at such a high price.

Release date and price
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 release date is August 10 in the US, and you can buy either the WiFi version online, or the LTE edition at Verizon. Sprint and US Cellular will begin selling the LTE-enabled Tab S4 in the third-quarter of this year.

It's going to be a big month for Samsung fans, with the Note 9 launching the day before. It’ll also be a costly one: the Tab S4 costs $649.99 (£599, around AU$880) through Amazon, Best Buy, and the Samsung Store. In the UK the LTE version will cost £649 (around $850, AU$1,150).

Tab S4 pre-orders in the US opened on August 1, with a 50% discount on the Book Cover Keyboard when purchased with a Tab S4 (the normal keyboard cover price is $149.99, £119, around AU$200). Meanwhile, pre-orders in the UK start on August 9, and if you do opt to pre-order you can bag yourself a free keyboard case.

We're waiting to learn the release date and price in other markets. We'll update this Tab S4 review as soon as we know more.

Samsung Dex, Android and apps
Samsung’s best and worst new feature is built-in Dex mode, which transforms the normal Android look into a desktop-like interface. This means apps are left-aligned (like on a Windows PC), clicking on an app opens resizable windows, and there’s an app dock and system tray at the bottom to flip between open apps and configure all sorts of quick settings.
