I love this tablet!ꉺꉺ>JustU.Faith/Galaxy-TabS?犀 I got it refurbished and it came looking and working brand new! It upgraded to Android 6 the first day! I've had it 6 months now and I use it heavily every day, no problems! Battery life is great! Runs my favorite program like a dream, JW.lib! Sound is awesome! I use it outdoors all the time and can hear everything perfectly! It's lite, thin and fits in a purse just fine! I got a otterbox for more protection and it's still very lite!
:k
If you dont know how to tweak Android then all your devices will lag over time. I can take an older device and have it lighting fast. Just learn how to tweak it!!! Plenty of videos to show you how.
is it possible to make gsm calls with the LTE version?!
Its time 32Gb became the default minimum storage by all device manufacturers for off-line movies/videos etc. Not all manufacturers offer SD card.
He should have also added how sidesync works with your s5 and any pc with sidesync installed, really really cool software
SideSync comes and works also with Galaxy s4! And I think also the s3 can run it!
Anyway great tablet/deal! Got it in a 300€ promotion.
Probably the best deal right now for portable size tablet. Previously i owned a Nexus 7 2013 ed.
South Korea Making Millions and Millions and u fuckers keeps buying the same a shit over and over
Cool ¡
not for me just wait tell the note 4  comes
I Don't Get Why Apple Fans Are Calling This Tablet's Screen and Ad Shit, Lol You guys should take a look at Apple Ads They Don't Advertise The Phone The Advertise The Apps Why don't they Just Advertise The Crap Store, And The Amoled Display Is Amazing, How did Samsung fit all that in to a 6mm thin tablet and Apples Retina Display Made The iPad So Fat And Heavy. This Just Proves Samsung IS Better Than Apple.
Proud new owner of the 8.4
I have this tablet. 🙂
There is one flaw about Android OS that might kill Samsung GALAXY tablet computers in the long run. It is true that Samsung has introduced novel features that are better than Apple's. But certain problems remain. Sometimes when I try to playback certain video files on YouTube my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android smartphone refuses to play them. Instead I have a message: "This video is unavailable on this platform". Meanwhile, my Windows platform devices can work with files of any type. I was going to purchase one of Samsung GALAXY S tablets. But I have found that three out of ten files I tried to work with was "unavailable" on Android platform devices. If Samsung is going to sell tablets to those people who are used to enjoy the versatility of Windows operating systems, Android platform should be able to work with all types of files.ÂÂÂ
Am i the only one who thinks that this device looks much alike the ipad mini?
Guys, I think technology's speeds and such are starting the "flatten-out" (as in peaking). The xbox one and xbox 360 have certainly peaked as far as graphics go, and I think the same will do with tablets as far as speed and such goes.
Them two circles in the back make the design look ugly…Not that the new design looks good anyways. I like the look of my Tab Pro 8.4 (white)better.And the Crystal Clear Hd Display is already brilliant.
was interested until ''touchwiz still remains as like touchwiz'', you can keep it now,  changed my mind. #no1needstouchwiz
Galaxy Tab S looks promising and has the capability to take on the mighty Ipad mini 2
Well now we know what features the Note 4 will have.
Galaxy mega 2 7.0"?????
Watching on my 2013 nexus 7, the sidekick to my superstar nexus 5 great combo! 😉
this and the tab pro is the same well i can't wait till htc kill everyone with there new tab
Kind of a ipad air but than much better
This might sound weird but I'm an iPhone owner and I plan on buying this tablet just because of the awesome AMOLED screen. I've never owned Samsung products before but I have used Android.
Don't buy one, Samsung will release a new tablet in the next few months.
Does it come with the S pen ?
don't really like the amoled display, would prefer the tab pro 8.4 with similar specs, only difference is tab s is built with 3gb ram and 100mah larger battery which doesn't make any difference and the tab pro 8.4 is selling at about the price of even cheaper than galaxy note 10.1 2014 and note 3!
is this the same as the pro tab 8.4?
Vanilla Android on this thing!
Excellent review, thanks!
Obviously ipad mini
This would probably my upgrade for my samsung galaxy note 8.0 ^_^
Good effort Samsung, but I'm not particularly interested in high-resolution "race" made by Korean tech companies. It is literally pointless.ÂÂÂ
Before any of you judge me as Apple fanboy, yes I am, but I'm not a hardcore fanboy. I enjoy using Z2 and Microsoft Surface. But I have to say, the resolution on my Surface Pro 2 is already enough, as well as iPad 3, 4, and Air (from Apple Store's observation)
Full HD, and Retina Display, is the most appropriate resolution for our eyes. Furthermore, Android does not excel in tablets either, the apps are just awful. Most of them are just "extruded" and "enlarged" apps. Android lacks quality apps, and loads of useless pre-loaded apps. Sony, HTC are quite okay, but not Samsung.ÂÂÂ
For people who are obsessed with Samsung, try Sony or HTC first.ÂÂÂ
It will worth your every penny.
