You can use your Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 to do more than connect with your computer and smartphone. The Tab 3 includes the Peel Smart Remote app pre-installed on the device so you can use the Tab 3's infrared emitter to control your television remotely.

Hold the power button for 10 seconds, 30 seconds or 60 seconds (no joy) Hold the power button and volume up button down together for 10 to 30 seconds (again, nope) Hold the power button, home button and volume up button.

Does samsung galaxy tab s3 have sim card slot?

Combine that with the 10-bit HDR support on the display and you get a truly amazing multimedia experience. On that rim are a USB Type-C connector, 3.5mm audio jack, a pair of microphones for audio recording and even a SIM card slot on LTE variants of the Galaxy Tab S3.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 will impress you with its gorgeous HDR display, premium design and S Pen. But $600 is a lot to pay for a tablet.

The latest Galaxy Tab S makes incremental updates across the board while maintaining the same 9.7" footprint. Features like quad speakers, an HDR-capable display, and an included stylus puts the Tab S3 a good step above the rest. Add in high-end components to the hardware formula and we'll say this one will be stiff competition. Check out the good and the bad in our Galaxy Tab S3 Tablet Review!
