The Galaxy Tab S3 is Samsung’s premium Android tablet this year, it comes in one size only which houses a 9.7” Super AMOLED QXGA (2048×1536) Display. The tablet has a decent amount of power though with a Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM powering the unit and with 32GB of onboard storage with a microSD card slot, it’s ready to fill with videos for a long trip away.

There is of course a reason Optus is selling it, and of course it supports Cat 6 LTE on all the important bands in Australia letting you access the web wherever you need it.

    When is Telstra going to sell this Tablet?!

    I’d be interested in what Telstra offer also. They are still selling the Tab S2 though.

    It’s looking like Telstra may not be getting the Tab s3 this year. Apparently Samsung decided to split the market and offer Telstra the GalaxyBook and Optus the Tab S3
