The editors didn't like
Frame loss in the UI
Cluttered magazine mode and settings area
Many services don't work in parts of the world
Low benchmark scores
No NFC
S Voice is useless
Colors
I'm really not a fan of the gold trim on these tablets. Now I might be alone here
But that's my opinion
The Back
I would have rathered Samsung stick with the faux leather for the Galaxy Tab S. I think it feels much better in the hand
TL
DR
If
Many apps not optimized for high-res display
Expensive
Mediocre Camera
Though pared down
TouchWiz still runs a heavy hand across Android
It's packed full of so much bundled software from Samsung and third parties that it will likely be confusing for first-time Android users
Samsung's optional cases and snapon design could be improved
GPU and Wi-Fi performance could be better. No word on an Android Lollipop update
Smooth back lacks tactile grip
TouchWiz UI means there's a bit of bloatware in the mix. That same plastic dimpled backing as the Samsung Galaxy S5 (although it does look better on these tablets)
Premium Price
Design language similar to Galaxy S5
Price
Software still not 'there'
SideSync 3.0 supported is limited to a few Galaxy smartphones
Performance dips with processor intensive operations
Uninspiring plastic design
Plastic construction tends to scratch easily
Fingerprint scanner is temperamental
The combination of TouchWiz and Magazine UX can be overwhelming
Both the tabs are not only noticeably better than their predecessors, but also stand toe to toe with the iPads when it comes to display and seamless interface navigation. The design and build of the tablets can hamper the style quotient a bit, but if you ...

There are a lot of things to like on the Tab S. The screen is beautiful, the performance is decent. Software has some improvement – TouchWiz is less cluttered, and has a button to jump right into the file manager app. Also, a lot less bloatware too!The pr...
Stunning display, Good battery life, Superbly thin and light, Powerful performance
Occasional UI lag, Same old design, Still a little plasticky, Price
As we mentioned in our introduction, when Samsung sets out to outdo the competition, they do really go for that extra mile and the GALAXY Tab S is proof of it. It may be a little heavy on the wallet but for what it brings to the table, it's really hard t...

Review: Samsung GALAXY Tab S 8.4With so many Humble Bundles offering comics, a tablet – previously only occupying my wishlist – is now a necessity to enjoy my newly purchased reading material. I personally find 8in a good balance between portability and r...
High resolution Super AMOLED display, Thin, Light, Sleek and Sexy looking, Galaxy Gifts and Bundled FREEBIES like magazine subscriptions, cloud backup storage, etc
Bloatware (apps & features) – too many confusing features with confusing names, Design – Same old look, similar dimpled back with the S5 smartphone, Fingerprint Scanner – that I didn't even noticed or used
I cannot get over the “gadget spam” strategy that Samsung has been implenenting with all their smartphones and tablets lately. However, as of today, this Samsung Galaxy Tab S series with this 8.4″ and 10.5″ model has got to be sitting at the higher end of...

Not quite iPad design magic, Some UI lag, Google Play apps aren't tablet optimised
