After getting my Samsung tablet I used it for a week and set it up with the apps and programs I though I would like. Then I showed it to my wife and haven't seen it since. So I wish I could say more about it.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

My tablet is awesome! I was not expecting to absolutely love an electronic (other then my phone) as much as I'm loving this Samsung Galaxy Tab S! I'm not at all tech say or all about electronics so I wanted to start out simple and this is defintly the way to go! I'm super happy I bought it. The screen is amazing, it's really fast, the keyboard that I'm writing this review on is a lot easier then other tablets I've seen. The camera is good not the best I've seen from others but it's clean and clear. The only down side to this tablet is that it's super thin and feels like you barely have anything to hold on to. Once it's in a case though you'll be fine. I have a 1 year old so absolutely no electronic in my house doesn't have a case of some sort on it. All in all I've recommended this case to my siblings and my friends and they're all going to get one soon!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

GORGEOUS Memorizing Best Tablet Ever Made!!!!
on July 4, 2014
Posted by: bkgraphicz

Expertise:Expert
There are no words to convey the AWESOMENESS of the display on this tablet!! No other tablet made- past or present can compare, surpass or even come close to the display, beauty, quality and visual experience other than the larger 10.5 Tab S. I must say the display is a bit sharper in comparison with it's larger 10.5 Tab S sibling I own. Colors, blacks and contrast are an exact duplicate of the larger 10.5 Tab S (for those contemplating between the two as I had as to which display appears to the eye better.)
The display on the Tab S tablets take my breath away, it's just mesmerizing to look upon.

The speakers are plenty loud and the surround sound that comes out of them sounds great. The speaker placement however was disappointing for me. On games like Need for Speed Most Wanted, my hands cover the speakers cutting off a lot of the sound. Personally I would have preferred the speaker placement at the opposite end as on the 10.5 Tab S or even better, where the power and volume buttons are located. I use my tablets mostly in landscape. Many of the games and apps that view in landscape on this tablet the button placement ends up at the top and the Samsung logo to the left. Personally I would have liked the Speakers on top (where my head is located) along with audio jack and instead the buttons located at the bottom.
The audio jack placement is slightly better than the Tab Pro 8.4, being located to the right and slightly higher. I however still find that I have to move my hand down a bit to avoid it up against my hand while holding it and wearing headphones.

Speed is great on this tablet, with no lag during high end gaming. Screen transition is seamless, quick and smooth. The body did get slightly warm while playing Need For Speed Most Wanted (but not uncomfortably) as compared to no warmth on the larger 10.5 Tab S.
Internal memory in my opinion needs help!! 16 GB is not enough for me to get all my games and customization downloaded onto this tablet. 32 GB is better but I personally would love 64 GB of internal space. I don't care what anyone says, in my personal experience on MANY tablets, moving apps to the on-board external sd card does not mean the whole app is moved, a 1/4 of the app remains in the internal memory to use up space. I do not have enough room to download all the games I play on this tablet or the apps I use. It was advertised as coming in both 16 and 32 GB internal memory. However here in the US, I can only find the 8.4 to come in 16 GB of internal memory. I have a 64 GB sd card in this tablet with lots of space on the card to go however my internal memory is almost full even though I've moved every app that gives me that option to my external sd card.
Battery life is okay, it doesn't appear to drain quickly.
Shape- seems slightly more rounded than the Tab Pro 8.4. It's comfortable to hold and the body is smaller than the Tab Pro 8.4 as the bezel is more shallow on the Tab S 8.4. It's thickness is thinner and it weighs lighter than the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4.
Color- Personally I like the black verses the Titanium color, I never was a fan of brown. Black is softer on my eyes. The dimpled back doesn't show the finger prints but I found it to be slightly slippery to the touch. I prefer the leather like back on the Tab Pro 8.4 and Note 3 I think it looks more stylish and feels better to the touch even though it shows the finger prints a bit. Why change what already works.
I've heard and read people complaining in reviews about the plastic look. Well, I for one like this look. I don't want something that is heavy and makes the WiFi reception drop. The reason this material is used is it works best. I have arthritis, if I have to hold anything heavy for long it just plain hurts. And that is why this size works wonderfully for me with all the gaming I do on a tablet.

I've owned a lot of tablets- the, Sony Xperia Z , all the iPads up to the iPad Air including the iPad Mini with Retina, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, Galaxy Note Tab, Google Nexus 10, Google Nexus 7" all with high screen resolutions BUT they all appear to have a white haze over the screen. Why, because blacks aren't true blacks, contrast is lacking and color is lacking.
Some say that Amoled is over saturated. That is all not true. There are four different display settings on this tablet one being Amoled Photo which keeps the deep blacks and contrast but dosent' increase the saturation-to my eye.

I love the S tablets! I'm done searching for the perfect tablet I will be satisfied with because I found the two tablets I am truly satisfied with now. The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and Galaxy Tab S 10.5!!!!
Samsung you ROCK!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, high hd, stereo speakers, 128 sd card capability, fast

Prodigious.

The screen on this tablet is remotely the best I have ever seen on a tablet, even in contrast to that of my iPad Air. It has 3 GB of RAM (as much as a lower end computer) so it's super quick, the design is the thinnest I have had on a tablet, it's super easy to work on even with word documents, files, desktop managing, etc. Camera is great for a tablet as well. The fingerprint scanner works even better than on the S5, from my experience, because of the screen real estate maker it a far more manageable experience. It was also a cheap buy for me. Colors look very well distributed.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is having lightweight and having many features. Also it is good for gaming because they has big screen and high performance. The price is Inexpensive so we can afford it. For those who listens to music, with out headsets/earphones we can use 7.1 Feature. (Sorry I don't know how to say this feature in english XD) This phablet's camera is nice and clear. I am usally using this for gaiming. And I can hold it with one hand. So this was the review, I LOVE SAMSUNG! Sorry for my bad english.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, lte/3g
Cons: back of the case can't be opend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had my tablet a little over 6 months and my tablet only has 25 minutes of running time after full charge. I was told it was normal! It has been well cared for and not taken outside or been in extreme temperature. I would NOT recommend this product.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, low battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing tab with an even better screen
on July 11, 2014
Posted by: GalvoAg
from Houston, TX, USA
Expertise:Intermediate
Love this tablet, upgraded from an iPad 2 and couldn't be happier. 8.4 inches is the perfect size for a tablet and the screen looks amazing. AMOLED is the best way to go if you like watching movies/Netflix on your device. Only thing is I have a little piece of dust trapped in the screen but it's no big deal. Overall I would definitely recommend this tablet if you love movies and want a tablet that is portable.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: dust trapped in screen
I would recommend this to a friend!
