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

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...
We're amazed that Samsung has managed to squeeze such a huge-resolution AMOLED screen onto a £300 tablet. The screen, helped by the clever Active Display technology, is just beautiful, and provides a worthy rival to the iPad Air 2's display. The tablet's...
Abstract: Apple's iPad Air 2 arrived in October, joining fierce competition in the tablet market from rivals. Here, we put Apple's latest 10in tablet head-to-head with Samsung's flagship offering in our iPad Air 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 comparison. You might...
Abstract: Tablets are a very popular personal viewing device for enjoying content at home and when travelling. They even run some great business software too, making them useful when there isn’t the need for the full functionality of a desktop PC or laptop. With th...
High resolution screen, Excellent battery life, Attractive, light and thin
Bronze version not for everyone, Screen is overly saturated, Let down by Android tablet app selection
A worthy rival to the iPad Air? Almost. Just as the Tab S 8.4 is the best small Android tablet, this 10.5 model is the best large Android tablet - a title it steals from the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. Excellent design and hardware is only let down by a lack ...
Excellent picture quality from the AMOLED display (in the right mode)/panel is responsive, easily readable and offers great resolution, Epic battery life/good overall performance, Lots of new software and useful services/quality media player, Great sound
Fingerprint scanner often fails to recognise fingerprint, Software still freezes occasionally, especially when switching between apps, Magazine UX largely unimpressive, A bit of extra power from the speakers wouldn't go amiss
In the burgeoning crowd of 10" tablets, to which Samsung has contributed significantly, the Galaxy Tab S 10.5" has shown itself to be the best overall performer, thanks largely to fantastic battery life and an excellent screen. The Korean manufacturer sti...
Stunning Super AMOLED Display, High Specification, Great features, Excellent battery life, Modern and intuitive UI, Very thin and light
Awful speakers, Zero HD streaming content, Poor out of the box connectivity
With an RRP identical to that of the 16GB iPad Air at £399 you certainly get a lot for your money with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. Even more so with a bit of shopping around which will find deals hovering around the £350 mark. With an impressive specif...
Abstract: Available in 8.4 and 10.5 inches, the larger size "knocks (the iPad Air) out of the park" with its lightness and slim design.The display is "beautiful", with clear and bright colours, and the touchscreen function is aided by a "powerful" 3GB of RAM and ...

Highres display, Impressive battery life, Goodlooking, slim and light
Oversaturation on display, Disappointing Android tablet apps, Not everyone will like bronze version
The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 looks good, is light and slim, with plenty of power, a bright display, impressive battery life and expandable storage. If you'd rather have an Android device than opt for Apple, this is the tablet to choose...
