A bigger, more high-resolution display, a larger battery, higher internal storage options, and the latest version of Android are a few things the Galaxy Tab S5e has going for it. The processor under the hood isn't a flagship-grade chipset like the S3's Snapdragon 820 was, but it is a more modern mid-range chip that should hold its own for even demanding tasks.
Of course, whether the Galaxy Tab S5e is a tablet worth buying or upgrading to is something only a full review can tell.
