Can Android tablets finally find success?
This week, Samsung hosted the Galaxy Unpacked event, the annual product spectacle the company uses to announce new mobile devices. In addition to the new Galaxy S22 series of phones, Samsung also introduced three new (and very expensive) tablets. These gadgets are part of an effort to solidify Android tablets as “the future of computing,” which is what Google recently called them.
This week, on Gadget Lab, WIRED review editor Julian Chokkattu joins us for an introduction to Samsung’s new devices and whether Android tablets can really take off.
