Absolutely the most amazing tablet out. I've had it about a month now and have to say that it's flawless in every way. Screen is crystal clear during any type of viewing. WiFi is lightning fast, everything is instant. Best tablet available at a good price
This has the best screen I have ever seen. I love the Galaxy Tab S and everything it has to offer except the amount of system memory and the included Samsung apps.. They should offer the option for 32 or 64 gig of internal memory. 16 is just not enough. You do, however, have a slot for a memory card. I also would prefer to have the ability to remove many of the Samsung apps included.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: too little internal system memory., too many unremovalable samsung apps.
I love and enjoy my Tab S with 10 inch display, 32GB RAM

The first thing I notice, picking up the Samsung GALAXY Tab S, - display occupies almost the entire front of the tablet. Framework is almost there., Samsung GALAXY Tab S impresses. The plate is the most compact dimensions are 125.6 x 212.8 mm, thickness - only 6.6 mm, weight - a little less than three hundred grams. Tablet at the first acquaintance seems too easy; I would like to feel the weight in your hand. On the other hand, this tablet is the champion among classmates - 294 grams; the closest prototype weighs about 340 grams. It’s easier to hold in one hand, due to lower weight, palm tired not so much - although someone this exercise will seem as difficult. But it is the most compact and lightweight tablet, nothing is more convenient not yet been invented. The back part is made of plastic with a perforated, there is a pair of latches that resemble buttons - they are necessary for the use of original covers. In our view, they spoil the appearance of the tablet. Over the company's logo - 8 mega piksel lens camera flash. On the right side - the power button, volume control, infrared (you can control home appliances), a slot for memory cards microSD - the memory of the tablet is easy to increase. A model with 3G / 4G immediately is the SIM-card, above the display - the earpiece, the model with Wi-Fi it is not. At the bottom end - 3.5 mm jacks for headphones or a headset (it would be better moved to the upper end) connector microUSB, the main speaker - very loud when watching movies, you can not do without earphones. Below the display - the Home button and touch-sensitive buttons, a set of typical for Samsung devices based on Android.
Naturally, a tablet with a big diagonal display is ideal for video or for working with tables. But the version with display 8.4 inches smaller in the cold season, such a device can even be worn in a jacket pocket. Secondly, there is a separation and to support 3G / 4G, you can choose a model with built-in radio module and a slot for SIM-card or Wi-Fi version. It's simple, if you want to be constantly in touch, want to use the tablet to talk (at Tab S can make calls as usual on your smartphone, if you connect the headset to it), go online, even when there is no access point Wi-Fi, then choose the version of 3G / 4G. If in constant communication with the network needs not, then take the model with Wi-Fi. Incidentally, the Samsung GALAXY Tab S is supported by 4G LTE - High Speed Internet, be sure to try.
GALAXY Tab S the model with a 10-inch screen. Resolution - 2560 x 1600 pixels, this display Super AMOLED, the screen displays of this type up to 94% of shades of color space Adobe RGB. What does this mean for the user? If you see the same pictures on a standard tablet and Samsung GALAXY Tab S, the difference will be visible to the naked eye - more colors, more naturalness and naturalness. It should be noted a good supply of brightness and a small amount of glare from ambient light, and it also plays a role when browsing, or viewing photos and videos. Display Samsung GALAXY Tab S is able to automatically select the settings for different usage scenarios - but only in some pre-installed applications. For example, you are watching a video and then transferred to the program to read, at the same time will choose the optimal brightness and tone pictures - just for this task. This allows not only to improve your experience of using, but also to save battery life. There is also automatic brightness control depending on the ambient light, which has been running in all applications.
In the tablet as a chipset uses a proprietary platform Samsung Exynos Octa 5420 technology , the two quad-core processors, one for architecture Cortex A7 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, the other on the Cortex A15 1.9 GHz, with the schedule meets Mali -T628 (c supports OpenGL 3.0). In simple words, the performance is enough for any desired application, although requiring resources for modern games, though for all other programs.
The Samsung installed 3 GB of RAM, with a stock - it will help you through the years and use the tablet with any program. Installed 32 GB of flash memory, on my tablet, a slot for cards microSD, supports cards with capacity up to 128 GB.
Operating system Android 4.4.2 with Samsung proprietary shell
Per my tests, Samsung GALAXY Tab S very pleasantly surprised. Then fitted with a battery 4900 mAh, that's what was received:
While reading the tablet worked for 14 hours and 14 minutes (30% brightness mode "on the plane" is included) When viewing HD-video tablet worked 11:00 26 minutes
