The editors didn't like
The audio quality coming out of the speakers is a definite disappointment
Especially on the 10.5
Which feels like it should have immersive sound to match the incredible screen. Samsung's TouchWiz still causes some stutter. There are a lot of redundant a
Plastic case
Average battery life
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is available on Amazon for around $400. This is a very well-built tablet but it couldn't stand out in the saturated market. I will recommend it only if you haven't got a big tablet yet
It
Performance lags at times
Covers are awkward to use
Camera washes out some images
Wi-Fi and GPU performance not quite up to the competition
Speakers sound tinny and distorted at maximum volume
Smooth back panel lacks tactile grip
Soft navigation buttons flanking home button are oversensitive
No support for NFC
TouchWiz features can be overwhelming
Tricky fingerprint scanner
Heavy TouchWiz overlay
Plastic backing
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)
My Magazine feature can't be removed
Disappointing speakers
Lacks NFC
SideSync 3.0 supported is limited to a few Galaxy smartphones
Performance dips with processor intensive operations
Great screen and a lot of power make this a very usable tablet...

Great performance, Comfortable to hold for long sessions, Awesome WiFi, At least as good as an iPad
Stuffy TouchWiz software impacts battery and performance, No NFC, Comparably expensive, Packed with gimmicks and bloatware
Samsung finals bangs one out of the park in terms of tablet design, and though its software still needs work, the Tab S stands out as one of the more comfortable and powerful tablets to use. Out of the box, battery life seems to be a major problem, but...

Abstract: These are the Korean company's new weapons against the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina which, despite some big advances from Android, still rule the roost when it comes to premium tablets. There's not a lot of competition from Android at this top-end o...
Abstract: Apple may have given the iPhone a much-needed makeover, but it's steady as she goes for the iPad for now. The tech giant will no doubt rectify that situation shortly but until then Samsung's flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S 10.5, remains a formidable pre...
Beautiful screen; Display changes colour profile based on conditions thanks to adaptive display technology; Very thin and very light; Feels great in the hands; Provides a day of solid use from the battery, and two days for everyone else; MicroUSB charge p
Plastic back might feel nice, but it scratches easily; Colours might not appeal to all; Samsung's Magazine UX feels unfinished, and offers very little in the way of control; SideSync's phone controller is Samsung only, and for a very small amount of devic
If you're itching to get a tablet and you're after top notch hardware in a sleek package, look no further than Samsung's Galaxy Tab S, because it certainly has the guts to match.While the colours aren't our cup of tea (despite looking like some cups of te...
Thin and light, Top-notch hardware, Market leading screen, Finger scanner
Samsung's TouchWiz overlay
Samsung has made the best tablet on the market in many ways. The 10.5in screen is in a league of its own, the design resonates, it has a proficient camera and any variant of the Tab S is worth its asking price. Faulting the Tab S' hardware is a tall order...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S rocks a vividly colorful, razor-sharp screen and exclusive software perks in an ultra-thin and lightweight design
Starting at $500 or £400, it's a high-end purchase. Touchscreen response can lag if many of its memory-hogging apps are open in the background
An exceptional screen and a long list of software goodies make the Galaxy Tab S Samsung's best tablet to date and our top Android choice for an entertainment slate....

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S range is very… well…very Samsung. It's nothing special in terms of design but backed up by an intuitive interface, stunning screen and great specs under the hood. I feel I've written the same preview about Samsung's tablet range ...
