Excellent screen ; Plenty of power ; Good battery life

Still behind on design ; Small on-board storage ; Bundled apps uninspiring

Samsung has aimed high with the Tab S, and met its target: this pair of premium tablets are serious competition for Apple's iPad, thanks to a gorgeous screen, some serious horsepower and impressive battery life.

Great design, plenty of power, useful software additions, vibrant display, fingerprint scanner

Sharp, bright screen ; Brilliant battery life ; Light

Heavy TouchWiz overlay ; Plastic backing

As with most of Samsung’s recent flagship mobile products, the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is an excellent tablet that we’d be more than happy to own. It’s packed with useful features, the screen is beautiful, both battery life and performance are top-notch and...
