When most people think about a tablet, the first thing that comes to mind is the iPad. The iPad may have changed the way people think about tablets, but it's not the only tablet in town. There are countless Android tablets, but one that arguably beats them all: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

The Tab S is a powerhouse that can outperform many laptop computers. And running Samsung DeX, the tablet can even turn into a desktop-like experience.

If you are new to the Tab S, there's a lot to uncover and this guide will walk through all the basics of the operating system that you need to know. It's based on the latest version of the Tab S—the Tab S 8—but aside from hardware features, the Tab S 7 and 6 are almost identical, so you'll be fine if you have a cheaper tablet.
