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
Full HD resolution, Solid 2.3 GHz processor, Featurepacked
Weak battery
Although the smaller Samsung Galaxy Tab S may have the odd niggling issue, it still beats other Android slates in most departments. There are slimmer, lighter and larger slates out there but the Samsung Galaxy Tab S has the best display on the market, r...
Abstract: I've been very vocal about my dislike of tablets in general and one of the principal reasons has been the displays have always been much inferior when compared to their smartphone counterparts. Even the Full HD Nexus 7 2013 which has a seven inch display ...
Abstract: Samsung's latest tablet is in the house – the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 brings impressive specs and a stylish design to the Android tablet arena and promises to offer a lot of bang for your buck. Announced back in June, it brings the latest design and features fro...
Buy it direct from Samsung and the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE will set you back £399 – or to put it another way, £20 less than the cheapest (16GB, no memory card) Wi-Fi and cellular iPad mini Retina. Pick one up from a cellco like 3, which supplied my review un...
Great display, solid performance, lightweight design
Poor battery, Touchwiz complicates user interface
Featuring a top-end display, scratch-resistant design and reasonable camera the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is one of the best small form-factor Android tablets currently available. However, its overall allure is hampered by its below-average battery life....

Stonkingly good screen, Magazine UI has really come into its own, Easy to hold, solid build
The iPad Mini 2 is now much cheaper, Some UI lag, Google Play apps aren't tablet optimised
Open Gallery The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is an incredible tablet with almost no flaws. Superb screen, unique features, a battery that doesn't need charging every night… really, there's very little that's missing here. So does it beat the iPad ...

Bright and resolute display, lots of power, plenty of useful software tweaks, slim design
Oversaturated colours, cheap-looking plastic rear, software can be over the top
There's a lot of good to say about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. So much that it irks us just how many other Tab devices are available through the range, because it muddies the water. In some respects the Tab S should make things crystal clear: if...

Abstract: Samsung has made a serious dent in Apple's smartphone market share over the last couple of years, but the iPad has been largely untroubled. Apple still rules tablets. These new, high-end Tab S devices are the closest that the Korean firm has come yet ...
