Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 review: S-class coupe

The freshly announced Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is the first tablet from Samsung to sport the highly-revered S moniker. Ultra-slim and sexy, the device has the internals too to merit the special letter. The eponymous bunch of handsets propelled Samsung...

Optional Cat. 4 LTE connectivity ; 8.4" WQXGA Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels ; Exynos Octa 5422 chipset; quad-core Cortex-A15 CPU @ quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU; Mali-T628 GPU ; Snapdragon 800, quad-core Krait 400 @ 2.3GHz;...

The available color schemes might not fit all tastes ; No NFC ; Android still lags behind iOS in terms of tablet-optimized apps

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 could very well be the most capable compact tablet money can buy, regardless of the OS. The ultra-slim slate is certainly worthy of the S badge thanks to its gorgeous Super AMOLED display, powerful hardware, almost...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 tablet has supremely elegant hardware, a beautiful display, and fast Android performance.

Slim and light. Fast. Great battery life. Incredible screen.

GPU and Wi-Fi performance could be better. No word on an Android Lollipop update.

Comparisons and Conclusions Android tablets have certainly grown up. For the past few years, we've recommended tablets like the Nexus 7 because they're less expensive than iOS and Windows alternatives. But the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 isn't less expensive; at...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is the iPad Mini for Android users

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is skinny, packs a superb screen, and has all the power you need.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is extremely slim, has a gorgeous, super-high-definition display, tonnes of power, and the latest version of Android KitKat on board.

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.

With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4-inch, bronze

This 8.4-inch tablet shares many of the design cues of the S5 phone, including the soft-touch dot-effect back and physical home button on the front, but packs in a super high resolution display, an octa-core processor (that's eight cores in total) and...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S review

Samsung's gadget playbook is pretty obvious to anybody who's been watching. It has created a relatively stable (if uninspiring) design language, chosen plastic as its preferred material, and...

Great display ; Thin and light ; Multi window software

Plastic body ; Confusing software features ; Finicky fingerprint reader

A tablet is more than the sum of its specs

Many apps not optimized for high-res display; Expensive; Mediocre Camera ; Combining the sharpest display on a tablet yet with an attractive design and powerful software, the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is worth its premium price.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Tablet Review

Stunning screen. Samsung also relies on a high-resolution, Super AMOLED screen in its Galaxy Tab S 8.4. It is the tablet's absolute highlight. The in-house processor is good, but cannot compete with current high-end SoCs. Otherwise, the equipment is...

Fast processor, Brilliant screen, Slim and light design, Many interfaces, Expandable storage, LTE, Can be used for telephony, Decent camera with LED flash, Good battery runtimes

Poor speakers, USB 2.0 only, No S Pen, No IP certification, Middling microphone

Just like its larger brother, the screen is the biggest highlight of Samsung's Galaxy Tab S 8.4. It convinces with a large color space coverage and accurate color reproduction. Additionally, nothing stands in the way of outdoor use. Users who do not...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Review

Sammy is going back to its roots by blessing the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with a drool worthy looking Super AMOLED display. Naturally, it's been a while since we've seen something graced with this particular display technology, but will it be enough to entice...

Stunning looking Super AMOLED display ; Thin and light construction ; SideSync 3.0 offers phone functionality through the tablet ; Near perfect color reproduction with the “basic” display mode

SideSync 3.0 supported is limited to a few Galaxy smartphones ; Performance dips with processor intensive operations ; Uninspiring plastic design

Variety is a good thing, right? We absolutely agree with that notion, as the consumer is the one to be greatly impacted by all of it in the end. However, it’s just that sometimes the focus gets mixed up and changed as a new product is introduced. Well...
