The first thing that jumps out is the beautiful display. The picture is sharp, clear and has accurate colors. I am getting 8-9 hours battery life with moderately heavy to heavy use. This thin and light tablet is a delight to use and very portable. I would highly recommend this tablet to anyone looking for a high end tablet. You cannot go wrong
This tablet is super fast it charges fast and the keyboard is a plus. I have not found one this wrong except I wish I had more then 16G.B. of storage especially these days the way that programs keep getting bigger.
Beautiful display and colors. Screen resolution is awesome. Very fast startups. Bought this model over iPad because of cost difference and ability to add memory. iPad very expensive upgrade and micro sd card was very reasonable, added 64 gb for around $30 and had money left over for case. By the way highly recommend Samsung's tablet case as it snaps securely to tablet. Bought a bronze case with white tablet like the contrast and don't worry about white case getting dirty. Only recommendation would be if one could remove Google bloatware.
First off, The display is beyond incredible. The quality of movies and photos on this device excelles over my 4K UHD TV's by a noticeable amount. Fast! User Friendly! This product had definitely earned it's place as my favorite Tablet.
I purchased my Tab S 10.5" in October 2015. I decided to go with the Tab S instead of the S2 for very personal reasons. I preferred the aspect ratio of the Tab S compared to its newer counterpart. I was slightly worried about how other users claimed that it lagged in comparison to the S2, but I always strip my devices of any pre-installed apps that I know I will not use and tend to slow the device down as well as suck the life out of the battery. Needless to say, I've had no lagging issues whatsoever.
I bought it new in box from a private seller on eBay and received the Samsung keyboard case with it; the pair work extremely well together. The tablet has a marvelous display that is bright & crisp, & the battery lasts a decent enough time (I tend to only use it for a few hours each night, but only need to recharge every 4 days or so).
I have the WiFi only model as I personally did not see the need for the more expensive antenna (with 4G LTE capabilities I do believe) & added data plan on top of that. I have the Galaxy S5 with a data plan & WiFi hot spot included in my plan & I tend to use the tablet where there is already WiFi anyway. Also, having the same UI across two devices is great as it feels very familiar to use both devices and their built in functions. The size is perfect for me, and it's also very light, yet feels very durable (I did but a spare book type case & a tempered glass screen protector though).
I also recently purchased the S Mouse to transform the tablet even further into a laptop like device. I love the versatility with the accessories you can pair with it. If you're the type of person that doesn't need the absolute newest device, but want one that works quite well & is dependable, I highly recommend the Tab S.
This tablet is all it was advertised to be, and more. Graphics are outstanding, speed to move from one activity to another is great and apps offered are very useful. The ease of operation should qualify for a blue ribbon. Have had other tablets, but this Samsung Galaxy S 10.5 is far superior. As a writer, I am using it for a few of my articles with great success. Very good value. I'm loving it.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, a compact modern tablet with outstanding feature
