Samsung launches Galaxy S3 Tab Android tablet, Galaxy Book Windows hybrid: Find out what's new

Samsung has launched the Android-based Galaxy Tab S3. It has also announced the Galaxy Book that runs Windows 10. The Galaxy Tab S3 comes equipped with an S-Pen.   

The Galaxy Tab S3 feels like a Note on steroids. It sports a 9.7-inch AMOLED display and supports the use of S-Pen. The S-pen is capable of all the tricks seen in the Note 7.

There's Air Command, creating GIFs as well as quick translations. However, unlike the Note series, there is no room for the stylus within the device. While many are waiting for the first high-end smartphone from the company after the Note 7 fiasco, the Galaxy Tab S3 has been a pleasant offering.

The Galaxy Book is another hybrid device that runs Windows 10. Available in two sizes - 10.6-inch and 12-inch, the Galaxy Book also comes with an S-Pen. However, in addition, it also gets a keyboard out-of-the-box.
