    Might want to change the title to Tab S4. Was confused as to why Optus were selling a 5 year old phone.

    Considering the RRP of these, this actually works out to be a pretty decent deal if you really want one. Currently $1179 preorder on Samsung’s site ($1379 RRP) which works out to be $49.12 per month over 24 months. With this deal you’re effectively getting the tablet interest free and with 10GB data per month for two years.

    • Diji1 on 10/08/2018 - 17:20

      Considering this made up higher price this lower price is a great deal.

      Well not really.

      • aja12 on 10/08/2018 - 17:37

        How is it made up? $1179 is the pre order price, it will be $1379 from the 24th. Crappy way on inflating preorders, certainly. Either way, I won’t be buying one,

    • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 17:47

      "Get the 256GB model for the price of the 64GB"
      24 x 50, so $1200. Considering the USA price before delivery and tax works out at AUD $1025 for the 256GB Wifi only model, this model at $1200 AUD has much better parity than what we ended up with the Tab S3. ie Aust price $1000+ vs the USA price being around AUD $700. It will be interesting to see, once the price drops to the more "normal" pricing in the USA. I waited for ages before being able to buy the TAB S3 locally for under AUD $150 more than the USA price. Seems alright to me and if I knew how good the S3 was, but didn't own one, I would probably grab this.

    • PVA on 11/08/2018 - 11:23

      agree, good way of buying. Thats what we did a few years back with the tabS2 from Telstra, worked out the same as just buying the tablet outright from say JBhifi.

  • bchliu on 10/08/2018 - 17:01

        Yep can confirm via Optus store, $40/month with a mobile plan. 10GB data added to your existing data pool (so for me, 7GB+10GB=17GB a month across both devices).

      Had a chat with them. Even though they clearly states on their page that eligibility criteria is postpaid mobile including sim only and ineligibility criteria is prepaid, they actually have some postpaid plans that are ineligible. Chat with them earlier before I purchase. Luckily I didnt sign up.

    • lostn on 10/08/2018 - 18:05

      Biggest difference is the OS, but its included storage is going to be more than the 32GB and it's expandable. Its screen also blows everything Apple makes out of the water. But you do pay for the privilege.

      Depending on what you want to do with it also, the 16:10 vs 4:3 aspect ratio. For media consumption which is what I want, I much prefer wide screen.

      • PVA on 11/08/2018 - 11:34

        ah, so they've gone back to wide screen again. only just slightly more wide than 4:3 though. I prefer 4:3 myself for my use, dont watch much video but consume more reading forums, magazines.

        why do they say 16:10, isnt it really 8:5, same with most phone at 18:9 is really 2:1?

        • lostn on 11/08/2018 - 18:40

          I think it's easier to compare 16:10 to 16:9. If they call it 8:5, people are going to have to do a calculation in their head. Everyone is already used to 16:9 as a standard so 16:10 is easily understood as just slightly taller than that.

          Same goes for 18:9. Slightly wider than 16:9.

    • ONEMariachi on 11/08/2018 - 00:01

      Really depends on what you want to do with it. Biggest advantages for the ipad I can see are for creatives, very portable art making machines. So the use of Procreate, Scivener, or Garage Band. Outside those three things, the Samsung would be the better choice.

      • Major Mess on 11/08/2018 - 19:20

        There is a big range of drawing apps for Android now, including a version of most of the Apple apps. There are stacks of productivity/Office apps. You can also multitrack. Garageband has been around for a long time now so should be pretty polished I suppose, nut have never used it so can't really make any comparison.

        Teoh Yi Chie reviews Apple, Android, Windows, plus Wacom and the other brands of drawing tablets and screens, for those into the graphic arts. He is a pretty prolific water colour painter, and does freelance magazine work.

          Oh, there's definitely options, but Procreate on iPad is the current golden standard and a big reason that a lot of illustrators in the digital space are buying iPad Pros.

    I am missing something with how these plans work?

    If picking a $50 a month total, why would anyone choose the 3GB plan over the 10GB Plan, when the cost is the same?

    They also offer a trade up to a new tablet for $99 on a new contract, at the end of this contract. The markup must be way more than I would have thought.

      None of these articles recommend not to get this tablet…they’re all mostly positive and they all thought the Dex mode was a good idea, most are won over by the screen and battery life.

    • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 18:48
      +1

      I just read the Verge review. Here are their negatives. Not exactly "slamming".
      BAD STUFF
      Android apps for tablets are still mediocre
      Requires you to buy keyboard / mouse for Dex to be useful
      Face / iris scanning is hit or miss

      All a load of crap. I don't get this bagging that some old apps better suit a phones form factor. It has been said for years. Every time I query, I never receive an answer. There are office apps and anything else you could expect that all work fine.
      If you need a keyboard and mouse, you need a keyboard and mouse. A silly statement.
      Face/Iris scanning is in no way a big deal and most would use the fingerprint scanner, and it would be required in a corporate environment.

      The article also winged about no trackpad, then say you need a keyboard and mouse. Umm, the thing is a touch screen device with an awesome stylus.

      These reviewers you have quoted are not real users of technology and therefore have no real experience. They are wanna be journalists, that spend ten minutes with a device before moving to the next. They are bloggers not technology reviewers.

        The biggest advantages of apps with ipad are simply, Scrivener for writers, Procreate for illustrators, and Garage Band for musicians. Outside that. the standard office work/emails, or web site browsing. Android is the way to go.

  • lostn on 10/08/2018 - 18:06

    I want one, but will wait for a big price drop / sale. I also need to fork out for the overpriced keyboard cover, so this is going to hurt.

    • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 18:32

      Buy a third party cover and a cheap bluetooth keyboard/mouse(They will also work with standard non bluetooth USB Keyboards and Mice). You could also add a USB-C and go wired if using as an office machine. I wonder if this will work with a USB-C to HDMI/Displayport dongle(The S3 won't)?

      • lostn on 10/08/2018 - 20:54

        I know you can do that but it's a separate thing you need to carry. It never works as well as an integrated solution.

    I was lusting for this tab a few months ago, then I realised Android tablets are EOL.

    Sure some people will enjoy this but ChromeOS tabs/detachables are where the cool kids are at.

    • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 18:35

      Cool, I haven't looked into them much. Can you suggest a comparable form factor unit with stylus?

      • grb on 10/08/2018 - 19:01

        Actually I might have exaggerated the situation… We are only at the start of the shift towards ChromeOS tablets and detachables, and there are only two options out now. Neither of which are easy to get our hands on in Australia. The best is the HP Chromebook x2; only one mid level model of the HP is out in the states atm (but it's still very nice) and more models/availability are expected "soon".

        There are indications of a handful of other models expected in the near future, including a new google made Pixelbook which will likely be the cream of the crop (announcement/availability Oct 4?). I'm expecting the more premium HP options and perhaps some others to be released to compete around the same time.

        My point was more about the paradigm shift. ChromeOS has matured a lot recently with the ability to run not only Android apps but also fully featured Linux software now/soon (depending on device and ChromeOS version). This opens up a world of possibilities particularly with regards to productivity.

        We are basically at the point where you have to choose between getting one of the last high profile Android tablets or waiting a couple of months to get the first of the ChromeOS tablets. I know I would rather be with the more modern system since this is where all the mindshare and development momentum will be heading.

        • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 19:10
          -1

          I hope we will see 14" or 15" models I can use as a tablet with a stylus(with detached keyboard). It would probably be a while before the pricing becomes cheaper tho as they are usually sold as "premium" niche models, and than a proper notebook becomes a better value.

        • grb on 10/08/2018 - 19:18

          @Major Mess: It seems ~12-13 inches with a proper wacom stylus (like the new HP and the "old" Pixelbook) will be a bit of a standard going forth.

          I'm also looking for something with a proper stylus for taking notes but I personally wouldn't want anything larger to carry around..

        • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 19:22

          @grb: Yeah, but for around the house I would ideally like a 17", or maybe even 19" - there are also all sorts of display aspect ratios now, which make quoting sizes alone a bit irrelevant. There were a couple of large tablets in the early Android days, but the resolution and processing was not there then.

        • Major Mess on 11/08/2018 - 19:27

          @grb: Sounds good.

  • Waiteyes on 10/08/2018 - 19:12

    Why does it use Andriod? If using Windows or ChromeOS, it will be more competitive.
    Andriod performs not well with this size of the screen.

    • Major Mess on 10/08/2018 - 19:23
      +1

      What do u mean? Even some phones have 4k resolution and you see no slow down with applications. What apps have you had problems with?

      • grb on 10/08/2018 - 20:54

        Actually I notice a slight stutter in my Galaxy S8 even web browsing at native res' (2960x1440) which is comparable to the Tab S4's resolution. This stutter is compared to performance @ "FHD+" (2280x1080) option on my phone (which is almost visually indistinguishable on these stupid high res' phone screens). Of course I prefer to run at native resolution but to claim "you see no slow down" at these high resolutions with this level SoC is not true. Though I am used to a relatively high refresh monitor and powerful PC so maybe I notice things others might not…

        But I don't think that's the point. The point is more about Android apps not being designed for an almost-"full-sized" screen. Plus a lot of people want the option to plug their tablet into a real full sized screen and do real computer-ing. This is an area where android is simply not competitive.

        Even if you're not interested in "real work" type stuff, Android apps are designed to be able to run across a relatively large range of screen sizes. So the same app will be able to run on a 4 inch phone and a 10 inch tablet. But on the tablet you won't necessarily get more details or options, stuff will just be bigger.

        On other tablet OS's you will get more details and options with software designed to be run on a bigger screen with a keyboard. ChromeOS has the promise of delivering both a "desktop" experience and a tablet experience, including the option of Android apps (even though the android apps are apparently janky atm). But I think the dude above is saying that Android is almost always janky on a "big" screen compared to the options.

          +1

          Yes I commented above about the size thingo on old apps. The point is that all apps I have used for productivity don't have the scaling issues. Android has the ability to adapt to screen real estate and it is up to the authors to add the ability.

          The only apps I have noticed were obscure subjects and left you in portrait with huge buttons. What are some of the actual productivity apps that have issues? Which ones have you had problems with on larger, and external displays?

    • FabMan on 10/08/2018 - 20:23

      Using a Nexus 10 since the Dawn of Time, resolution is a non-issue for me.

      I assume there are apps that struggle at this res, I guess I got lucky then.

    • lostn on 10/08/2018 - 20:56

      Not sure what app support is like in ChromeOS.

      Windows requires a beefy CPU to run because it's heavy. Even that surface Go Pentium CPU is weak for the price you are paying. That thing is going to lag like hell. My SP4 i5 lags a lot and that has a better CPU than the Pentium 4415 (?).

      Android is great with this screen. Using a S2 now, and had a Nexus 10 previously. Most major apps are tablet optimised, so you get a different UI for the app than you do if you're using it on a phone.

    Also the Surface Pro m3, 128GB SSD, 4GB RAM, Black Type Cover is $998, wouldn't that still be more capable?

        • Get this deal for $40 a month for 24 months, a total of $960.
        • Immediately sell Samsung Galaxy Tablet S4 unopened for $1k. (SlayKingWhisky)
        • Take that cash and buy Surface Pro m3

        You are still paying $40 a month for 24 months, you are still getting 10GB a month for 24 months, you have a Surface Pro instead of Samsung Galaxy Tab S4. You can always add extra cash to get a better model of course.

          That would be a good idea for some who isn't getting smashed with monthly digital service fees already haha. For me the idea of free data for 2 years looks more attractive than getting a new device with a good payment plan, to each their own :)

      I am thinking the same, but need to consider the extra cost for 4g version and pen and the weight (50%) more, and no GPS. We got Surface Pro at work (old and current version) and the amount of issues were getting (even with genuine docks and mouse,etc ) is a little worrying.

      • FabMan on 11/08/2018 - 07:33

        Have they not worked out the kinks by the 5th version?

          Nope, the $300 docking station is still dropping USB signals… so we’re using an extra USB splitter connecting directly to the Surface and not the USB on the docking station….

        • FabMan on 11/08/2018 - 17:56

          @Sevenofnine: Damn, you'd think they'd get it right. I mean the latest model seems very stable from reviews. It's downsides from everyone seems to be no Thunderbolt, no Pen included, still no keyboard included, the price, which are all valid complaints.

    960 over 24 months, was planning to leave Optus next month (12-month plan), thankfully got it. One day with iPad pro and pencil, next day tab S4 and S pen, haha.

  • Smokey010 on 11/08/2018 - 11:52

    Hi Peeps, will Samsung Australia cover the warranty for the tablet or need to contact Optus, just in case something goes wrong?
    I know Optus have like $15/Pm for device insurance for theft and all. TIA

  • asianbargain on 11/08/2018 - 20:06

    Very good deal since I have postplan with optus. For 60/month, I get extra 30gb. Tempting but don't use it much.

  • docmartin on 11/08/2018 - 22:01

    Would this allow optus sport access via xbox and pc.

    Also would it be data free streaming on the s4?

    Almost tempted to get this at 40/month. Wonder if could then switch mobile to telstra on recent deal and keep the price and optus subscription which otherwise would be 15/month.

    Anyone have any idea?

    Also just realised the bastards tried selling me the tab s3 the other day for 53/month…

  • ruriruri on 12/08/2018 - 14:21

    Can I add voice pack to data plan to make calls? Instead of having 2 sims, mobile and data.

    $80 per month now gives 200GB
    can also sell the tablet like the ipad deals to get MBB for next to nothing

  • NeBlackCat on 03/09/2018 - 06:50

    Anyone received their tablet yet?

    BTW the lack of a fingerprint sensor is the killer here imho. Not just for unlocking it, but for quickly accessing banking apps, lastpass, etc. And for use in the dark.

    • BradH13 on 04/09/2018 - 11:23

      Nope. Still "in progress" and I'm pretty filthy about it. Second device pre-order stuff up in a row from Optus for me personally (I pre-ordered a Mate 10 Pro end of last year and only received it just shy of two months later). Here's hoping this Tab isn't the same deal.

      Yeah; lack of fingerprint sensor sucks but I can live with inputting my PIN. I'm not bothering setting up Iris scanning. All videos I've seen of it seem that glasses pretty much makes it useless and I wear my glasses permanently.

      • NeBlackCat on 04/09/2018 - 14:50

        Just got an email to say delivery of SIM & device in 1-5 days (that's to Perth metro).

        I want to know how to use an NFC ring to unlock it. I wear one from the bank anyway. There should be no need for fingerprints, irises, PINs, shapes or magic incantations.

        Reckon that's possible? If not, it's going on ebay (along with everyone else's lol).

        edit: looks like ebay it is then

        • BradH13 on 04/09/2018 - 14:56

          Tab S4 doesn't have an NFC antenna anyway.

          Hahaha.

        • NeBlackCat on 04/09/2018 - 14:58

          @BradH13:

          Cheap garbage.

          Maybe my bluetooth-enabled brass hand can help.

  • KneeOnLites on 10/09/2018 - 18:26

    Anyone found cheaper alternatives for the keyboard case? $200 a pop seems a tad steep.
