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
So these are the Samsung Galaxy S Tab computers. Overall they are sleek, powerful and meet most of the needs of today's hectic digital lifestyle.The devices are quite versatile and light and ultimately for me the winner is the screen quality which at 100,...

Terrific screen, fast processor, slim but sturdy build, expandable memory, good battery life, reasonable price
TouchWiz might be a bit busy for some, not a lot of onboard storage, not waterproof
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S sets a pretty high standard for Android tablets. It's sleek and slim, with an outstanding screen and powerful processor, plus a few genuinely useful extras from Samsung. If you have the cash, and don't require a stylus (in which...

Looks good, Powerful and speedy, Impressive battery life, Great display
Has a cheap feel, Colour won't appeal, Lack of apps for larger Android tablets
The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a great device, good looking, powerful and sleek, boasting a top-notch screen – this is the Android tablet we have all been wishing for...
Gorgeous Super AMOLED screen, Thinner and lighter than the iPad Mini, Easy to hold with one hand, MicroSD card support
Occasional app launch delays, Not dust/water-resistant like the GS5, Fingerprint scanner isn't that useful
Samsung launched so many tablets in 2014 that it's impossible to keep track of them all. So far, only a few have stood out from the pack; the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is one of them. Before Samsung launched the Tab S line, it didn't have a true iPad competitor...
The new Galaxy Tab S is something of a conundrum: on the one hand, it represents a big shift from Samsung, one that promises to finally give it something that can be considered a rival to the iPad, on the other, an over-reliance of familiarity. The Galaxy...
We're impressed with Samsung's latest tablet offering, at least when it comes to the camera, screen and size, but Apple's iPad mini 2 still offers us the operating system we love, a more stylish design and exceptional performance.It's tricky to decide...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is one of the best Android tablets we've ever reviewed. In terms of hardware it's the best you can buy right now and has a superbly thin and light design. There's very little to dislike here aside from some elements of the Tou...
In every way that matters, this is a great tablet. The fingerprint reader is naff and some of Samsung's software features miss the mark, but the screen is great it's the perfect size for toting around with you everywhere.Next, read our tablet buying guide...
