Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4

This tablet is all about the stunning AMOLED screen

Sharp, bright screen with outstanding contrast ; Very thin, light and portable ; Good battery life

Can’t remove Magazine UI ; Overzealous Adaptive Display system ; Unreliable fingerprint scanner

The other key feature is SideSync 3.0, which lets you access, control and share information with compatible Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S5. It means that, among other things, you can take calls on your tablet when your phone is another room —...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S review

If you're after a tablet with an impossibly great screen...this is it

Excellent screen ; Plenty of power ; Good battery life

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

Ratings in depth Update: Android 5.0 Lollipop has been making waves with the 'Material Design' UI overhaul. When will Lollipop make its way to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S? Find out here.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S review

The best from Samsung so far, but we need more in the audio and video stakes

Nice design Bright, vivid screen Deep blacks High-res audio capable Good battery life

Finger scanner still a little awkward Audio and picture quality don’t beat the best

The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is the best tablet we’ve seen from Samsung, and it’s up there as one of the best Android tablets we’ve tested too. The nearly year-old iPad mini with Retina display still outperforms it in both audio and picture quality (though it...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 review

It seems that not a month goes by without a new Samsung tablet surfacing. It's made the market so busy with options that, frankly, it's got downright confusing. So let's cut to the skinny: the Tab S, seen here in its 8.4-inch version, is one of the...

Bright and resolute display, lots of power, plenty of useful software tweaks, slim design

Oversaturated colours, cheap-looking plastic rear, software can be over the top

There's a lot of good to say about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. So much that it irks us just how many other Tab devices are available through the range, because it muddies the water.

Nokia N1 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 tablet comparison

The £319 model Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 comes with Wi-Fi only: if you want 4G connectivity as well, you'll be looking at £399 inc VAT. The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is widely available in the UK.

It's impossible to be sure before the Nokia N1 launches and we get to grips with it in our lab, but from the specs we would say that it is a worthy challenger to the Tab S 8.4. The Samsung Tab is powerful, fully featured, and well priced. If you want...

Nexus 9 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 comparison review

Google has launched the Nexus 9 with some help from HTC but how does it stand up to Samsung's impressive Galaxy Tab S 8.4? Find out in our Nexus 9 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 comparison review. Also see: The best tablets of 2014.

This is a close call as the Nexus 9 and Galaxy Tab S 8.4 both have pros and cons. If you don't mind spending more, then Google's tablet has better performance and battery life but is chunkier. Samsung's isn't as slick but is impressively svelte and has...
