History
The Galaxy Tab S series was first introduced in June 2014 with the release of a 8.4-inch and a 10.5-inch version. The initial release marked the return of the SuperAMOLED display on a tablet after it was last used on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in 2012. Since then, numerous changes and newer features were introduced to the series throughout the years.
The S Pen was reintroduced for tablets with the release of the Galaxy Tab S3, a few years after the last Galaxy Note tablet released in 2014. Samsung DeX also made its way to the Tab S lineup with the release of the Galaxy Tab S4 in 2018. The Galaxy Tab S5e, released in 2019, was introduced as a more streamlined version of the Galaxy Tab S line. The lineup later expanded with the introduction of the Lite, Fan Edition (FE), and Ultra models.
The lineup unofficially served as a successor to the Galaxy Tab Pro and Galaxy Note Tab models, later incorporating their features into the Tab S lineup.
