I really like the Tab S so far. I love the features and is easy to use. It's lightweight and easy to hold on to. The color in the picture is wonderful. Camera seems to be good also.
Purchased this first of July when they were released, getting the cover with it. Have enjoyed it for the most part.
Biggest pet peeve of late is dead battery. I will press the button on the side to shut it off in the morning (I don't power it down fully). If I happen to leave it in my knapsack I often start hearing the dreaded beep of low battery a few hours later -- while it has just been sitting in my bag -- not using it. A few weeks ago, encountered this when I had it sitting on my desk and had placed a notepad on it. Yesterday, had it inside its case, inside a soft-side tablet case -- made sure screen turned off before I put it inside. By early afternoon it was beeping and it hadn't been used since the morning.
There are days I do get to use it for several hours without a problem. Just extremely frustrating battery dies when I'm NOT using it. Tired of planning to use tablet during bus ride home at end of the day to find it has died while sitting idle. They claim 9 hours of battery life, but it will go from 100% battery to <5% in less than 8 hours of sitting idle in the bag.
Not sure if this is due to the cover design or what is happening. One would think that if you press the button to put the tablet to sleep, it should stay asleep until you press a button to wake it up.
i just spent two hours trying to register this product. every time i went to enter something it would go to a totally unrelated page and i would have to start all over. it was very difficult getting to the registration page to begin with. also i am having a problem getting my pictures into folders. i can only get them to display by timeline and although at one point, it showed me a list of categories, i have not been able to get back to that list and i have to tell you that i is things like this i have found very frustrating and a this point i am not sure if i would recommend it to anyone else. .
This tablet is the best tablet ever. I own an iPad and the Samsung is light years ahead of it. The screen is gorgeous and ease of use is fantastic!! I have officially retired my laptop and now use the Samsung for everything.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, powefull, replaces my laptop, long battery life
