I love my new Samsung tab s. Only wish I could get rid of factory loaded apps I will never use. But screen resolution is excellent and speed is unmatched definitely the best I've used.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: factory apps
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4

The tablet has no drawbacks as far as performance, features and design. Designed to compete with the "other guys" and Samsung did a great job with this. I have a tablet from the other guys and I see very little difference between them.
While saying this; because my concern should not affect the rating, the only area of suggestion I can think of are the apps. Samsung has no actual responsibility of programming or app content but perhaps they could put pressure on Google to tighten up its privacy policy to give us users some piece of mind. i.e. require many of the authors of these apps to minimize their permission requirements.
Permission requirements like in app purchases, looking at phone call history, having access to your contact list, requesting that you be online to use the app, or signing up for an account just to be able to use the app. etc. I have looked at many android apps and a lot of these apps say they "need" these permissions, for what? In order to track what people do with these tablets? I am not being paranoid but privacy is privacy.
And I know we do not have to install or use these apps that request this information but it is pretty hard to find a great app that does not want this information. Maybe this is not the forum for sounding off on this but I did purchase this tablet and had some kind of expectation that my privacy would be respected more than the outcome.
Incidentally we purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 for our Mother last Christmas so experience with the Android apps is not new to us.
Never-the-less, Samsung has a great product in its tablet arena; I rated this device 5 stars in four categories and 4 stars in the fifth because I think the attributes of the design, OS, features and performance have reached the general public's expectations.
Nice job Samsung, thank you.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

In love with my Galaxy!

The screen resolution is the best I have seen. I am a photo and color junkie and I am unable to stop looking at pictures on this tablet! It is also lightweight with a very good battery life and quick charging with the enclosed charger. I haven't accessed all the features yet, but I have used the fingerprint scanner and it works well. I would reccomend the Galaxy to anyone who loves bright, clear, crisp photos - whether their own shots or any other photos you see on the internet. It's great for Pinterest!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast charging
I would recommend this to a friend!

Almost Perfect
on July 6, 2014

I've only had it for a few days, but thus far it's almost perfect. The first thing I wanted to check was visibility in full sunlight for reading books. It's simply the best device I've ever seen for daylight visibility. I'm still on the fence about their changing the 'back' buttons functionality.
The one flaw I've found ( and it is that annoying ) is the gold trim around the edge of the device. It's cheap!! It moves against the case of the device. How this nice a tool/toy got stuck with a trim piece like this is beyond me. I've been buying solely Samsung for about 5 years ( and each purchase I consider all devices out there: the Samsung's win on their own features each time ) and I've never seen something so trivial cause such a negative feeling for me about a device. You might consider waiting for the first remodel to see if they fix this ridiculous issue.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality

Awesome tablet for everyday use

Expertise:Expert
It's extremely responsive tablet that does pretty much everything I can throw at it. The benefit of WatchOn is awesome as I can literally control everything in my home theater with this device. It's extremely fast even when running a ton of apps at the same time.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight

I love the tablet

I really like my tablet. I do a lot of the things on it that I would do on my PC. It is small enough to hold easily. I read my e-mail, play games and read downloaded books and magazines on it. I downloaded Moon Reader Pro from the Google Play Store and there are a lot of things you can download to Moon Reader and read them. In some cases it is easier to read on it than other wise. I think this is because it is back-lit and you can see it better there.
There are so many things you can download from Google Play Store that it is hard to relate all of them. I have downloaded many and have not had a problem with any of them.
I love my color. It is white and I got a grey case for it that makes it really stand out. It looks really good.

Great features

I've had the other one (you know the one) for some time now. This Samsung Galaxy S is sooooo much nicer. Call it SMOOTH. Very easy to set up. I like Flipboard and Play Newsstand apps. This is great for travel...through it in my purse or backpack.
I had the first Galaxy Tab that came out five or six years ago and it was great...wanted to try the other one.
If you're thinking about this Samsung S...don't hesitate you won't be sorry.
