Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4

So Samsung has released two new tablets, the tab S 8.4 and the tab S 10.5. The tab S 8.4 looks similar to the Galaxy S5 with its soft touch dimpled back for a better grip and the change of the capacitive button layout, the changing from the options button to a resent app button, but you can press and hold for options. It's has the finger print scanner to unlock thr device or use to purchase anything. You do get a front and rear camera with flash at the back as well. At the right hand side of the tab are buttons such as the volume rocker and the power button along with the micro SD card slot, and the IR blaster. You get two speakers, one on the bottom and another at the top, on the bottom you'll see the earphones jack and the USB/charging port. Oh, Samsung created its own wireless keyboard, at the back of the tablet there are two circles, those are build for the accessories for the tab S line like the flip case; the tab is also a thin device and it comes in two colors, white and bronze.

The Tab S 8.4 has a Super AMOLED screen with a super sharp 2,560 x 1,600 resolution and 359 pixels per inch. As we know with Samsung's over saturated AMOLED displays that some of us like, you can go into settings to change that if your not comfortable with it being like that. Other than that, the display is beautiful with the deeper blacks and richer colours.

At the back you get the 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, it is a good camera for a tablet but when shooting in an area that's not well lit, the photo will look noisy, but you do get that LED flash to give you light. For videos, it shoots 1920x1080 (1080p HD) (30 fps). As for the front facing camera is 2.1 megapixel for video chat and selfies.

Snapdragon 800 processor (or a Samsung Exynos 5 in some regions), 3GB of RAM, 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0, built in storage is 32 GB, microSD card (up to 128GB) and there will be an LTE version in addition to Wi-Fi only ones. With those running this device, it's quite fast. Game play should be smooth and other heavy usage should be okay. Powering this, is a 4900 mAh battery, this is big battery so you should get at least 2 days worth of usage out of this tab.

Out of the box you get Android 4.4.2 Kitkat with Samsung's heavily built Touchwiz UI over it. It is much like the Galaxy S5 with the new flatter and tone down Touchwiz. There is this new feature that is called SideSyic which you can use your phone remotely, basically you control your phone virtually.
