Tech Advisor80
A highly competent premium tablet with a lovely display and bundled S Pen, but little that is new and a price that looks high next to rivals.

What do critics say about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11?
Expert Reviews80
A polished, powerful tablet with strong software support, but it is overpriced and its battery and lack of anti-reflective coating let it down against cheaper rivals.
TechRadar70
An iPad Air rival with elegant build, good performance and strong battery life, but the display fidelity and touch handling disappoint and the price is not a bargain.
