About the Galaxy Tab S3

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7, released in 2017, was a premium Android tablet designed for both productivity and entertainment. It features a vibrant 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display, offering stunning colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for media consumption. A key differentiator was the included S Pen, providing precise input for note-taking, drawing, and navigation, enhancing its utility for creative professionals and students alike. Beyond its display and S Pen, the Tab S3 boasted a sleek glass and aluminum design, quad speakers tuned by AKG for immersive audio, and a respectable 6000 mAh battery. While its Snapdragon 820 processor is older by today's standards, it still delivers smooth performance for everyday tasks, web browsing, and light gaming, making it a solid choice for those seeking a capable and stylish tablet.

Common Galaxy Tab S3 issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. The Tab S3's Super AMOLED display is susceptible to this.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. The 6000mAh battery often shows significant wear after 2-3 years of use, leading to reduced battery life.
  • Cracked or damaged screen glass. The glass front and back, while durable, can crack from drops. Screen replacements are costly.
  • Non-functional S Pen. The S Pen that comes with the Tab S3 can be lost or become unresponsive due to internal damage or battery issues.
  • Charging port issues. The USB-C port can become loose, damaged, or accumulate debris, leading to charging problems.
  • Software glitches or boot loops. Older Android versions can become unstable, leading to performance issues or failure to boot properly.
