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

Abstract: If the Samsung Galaxy S5 were to encounter some sort of freak accident involving radioactive ooze, it would come out looking like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4.That's not to say it wears a bandana and wields a weapon like a ninja turtle, but it's bigger an...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, Samsung's latest high line tablet for mid-2014. We look at the 8.4″ model in this review, and Samsung also offers a 10.5″ Tab S. The Tab S 8.4 is nearly identical to the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, but it has tw...

Given Samsung's dominance in the phone market (and the interconnect options offered by SideSync), I can see a lot of people buying these tablets purely on the strength of name alone and they won't be disappointed. Whether you like Samsung's software or no...

Ultimately, Samsung wants the Tab S to compete with both the iPad Air and the iPad mini with Retina Display, but it's going after the wrong target...
The Galaxy Tab S (in both sizes) has the best display of any tablet to date, by a healthy margin. If you watch a ton of video, edit photos, and/or play a lot of HD games on your tablet, then it's worth considering for the screen alone, and the tablet it's...
