[1] Belonging to the high-end "S" line, it was unveiled alongside the Galaxy Book at the MWC 2017, and was first released on March 24, 2017.

[6][7] The Verge criticized the cameras on the device, being "softened and smudged", the limitations on multitasking, and the cramped Pogo keyboard, whilst praising the integration of the S Pen and it being lightweight.

It has a stunning AMOLED screen, fingerprint sensor for extra security and satisfyingly loud quad speakers.

The reviewer was also disappointed that large applications take time to load, while the keyboard add-on is an expensive extra.

[10] Max Parker of TrustedReviews noted the good addition of the HDR AMOLED display, S Pen and lightweight, but said that the software "lacks polish", "janky" multitasking on the device and that the glass back of the tablet was a "fingerprint magnet".
