Nice hardware, poor software

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 mainly due to the very impressive screen. The screen has very high resolution and is the best screen I've ever seen. I wanted the extra crispness since I have trouble seeing small text.
Unfortunately, almost none of the software is well optimized for the screen size. Most software on the Tab S 8.4 has microscopic icons somewhere in their control interfaces which are no larger than the corresponding icons on a small screen smartphone, which defeats the purpose of the larger screen size if you have big fingers.
There seems to be no way to increase the fontsize in any of the Google apps, including search boxes and Gmail. You can increase the system font size for the tablet, but that has no effect on the text size of the content of an email message in Gmail or search boxes. Reading email with the Gmail app was actually more difficult on the Tab S 8.4 than on my smaller Samsung Galaxy S4 telephone.
I returned the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 to the store after two days. A few easy software fixes in the most important apps would completely solve the problem and turn the Tab S into a 5 star product. Unfortunately, right now for me the software deficiencies make the Tab S a frustration to use.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Realistic color, Lightweight, screen resolution, kindle app works well
Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor software, google apps are poor on this tablet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not the best

Got it one month ago and there is a bug when casting video to Chrome-cast. The screan will flash on and off and the device will become irresponsible. Only a hard reset will bring the device back.
Also I noticed that the sensibility of this screen to touch is not the best. Many, and I mean very often, the apps don't open on the first touch. Other times instead opening it flips the screen to the right or left instead pooping up the app.
I really like it 50%.
Unfortunately can't refund otherwise would do.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, screen sensibility not good
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A wonderful birthday present

I got this lovely tablet for my birthday and it works wonderfully. I love the screen resolution and the pictures/video it takes. The apps run smoothly and the battery seems to last a good long time. The keyboard is large enough to comfortably use and the size is great for why I got it: to read on. Highly recommend it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, good size, great pics/vids, good battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

PERFECTION!!!

I can't believe I went this long without a tablet. The picture quality is so good it is unbelievable and it takes great pictures both front and rear facing cameras. I was tired of trying to look at emails on my cell phone, now I have this tablet and that's all I use. very often I would get an email with an attachment or a download and I was unable to open it with my cell phone, but now with the tablet I am able to open up all pictures and documents. It's a great tablet and would highly recommend it to everyone. And it's also very fast.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, vivid display
I would recommend this to a friend!
