As of today, Samsung sold its recent gains from the Tablet Portfolio in Germany. At the same time, the Galaxy Tab 10.5 S has arrived in the CURVED-Editor: We have only 6.6 millimeters thin Super AMOLED 10 incher equal booted up and tried out – our first impressions before the big test you will read below <. / p> colleague Gerd showed up in June after the launch of the new Galaxy Tab S models in New York quite pleased with what Samsung has packed in 8.4 inches and 10.5 inches in technology and features.
Now, a month and a World Cup later, the devices in Germany are available -., and a first test pattern of the current top-class tablet rests in our hands
This also makes it extremely even if it were not so clearly communicates Samsung: The new S-Class is replacing the old, in the brevity of its existence hardly established Tab PRO series at the top of the tablet portfolio of Koreans – because with the WQHD-2560- 1600 pixels and the Exynos 5420 eight-core 1.9 GHz / 1.3 GHz are 10.5 S and 8.4 S technically as well as in terms of their RRP par with the PRO counterparts in several smaller aspects they surpass them.
Design and processing
The literally most obvious innovation over the Tabs Pro is the new design language of the Tab S, which is no longer based on the leather look of the note-row, but rather on the golf ball look of the Galaxy S5: Further plastic dominates the exterior of the tablet – which is clearly visible and palpable, especially on the back; whether now enjoyed more the appearance of leather or a golf ball, is in the eye of the beholder
Definitely better the Samsung Metallic of actually existing plastic frame has succeeded. had In our white-bronze model we look very closely, and then only to ensure under the covers for a SIM or microSD card is that it really is painted plastic.
With 465 grams and the aforementioned slim design is the Galaxy Tab 10.5 S to be well in hand., but the back is a bit too smooth for our tastes, and the right angular edges are not straight flatterer
The display
2560 x 1600 pixels to make 10 inches of course really fun, as well as on the Galaxy Tab 10.5 S – provided, in accordance with high-definition content are for viewing and enjoy ready. With the 8 MP camera self shot, high resolution photos in any case technophile eye delight in any case as much as the enclosed UHD demo video to see
Browsers content on the Tab S 10.5 great -. On homescreen, in App Drawer and of course all the contents that are not on-high resolution, however, the effect fizzles. Thus, unfortunately, act, for example YouTube videos and some games but are blurred or even pixelated again due to its lower resolution and screen size. This of course is not attributable to the Tab S, willing to buy prospects yet to be understood, however, that not everything is focused automatically, which is represented on the tablet.
With the Samsung Tab S changes from LCDs that still were employed in the tabs PRO, on Super AMOLED Panels. As a result makes no difference for the user, because both technologies take now in terms of representation not much. The colors at any rate displayed on the Tab S are tired of black and white values are perfectly fine and the viewing angles loyalty is also excellent.
deserves praise Samsung at this point to ensure that the price of the Galaxy Tab S despite be more expensive WQHD-SAMOLED display remains in a human context – whether the Koreans for dispense in the end on big profits per sold unit and simply hope only good sales and subsequently an image boost over Apple and its iPadSoftware
As already with the Galaxy Tabs Pro software installed on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S’s specially designed to Tabets Magazine UX user interface. The makes use of a 10 incher in some places actually something more comfortable, for example by placing shortcuts to the File Manager and App Drawer in comfortable reach of the thumb of the user in the two bottom corners.
Right off the bat liked us the two software features SideSync 3.0 and the fingerprint scanner to unlock the device or the identification for some services. With your SideSync your Samsung smartphone can on the Galaxy Tab S emulateShould read:. Via Wifi Direct, both devices connect to each other, and the entire contents of the smartphone is then displayed in a window on the tablet and is usable. Thus you can from the sofa to apps on the Galaxy S4 or access 5, at the same time may depend on the charging cable in the next room. Also calls or messages can be accepted by the Galaxy Tab from S, expenditure or read and answered.
The fingerprint scanner worked well and reliably in our first attempts: Easy to set up with the index finger a few times from the screen side down on emphasize the Home button, even the identification features are stored and the tablet can be unlocked from now on with this same movement. The device displays useful information when the finger was not placed quite right.
performance and battery life
eight cores potter nominally Galaxy Tab S, four of which are at 1.9 GHz clocked, the other four with more modest 1.3 GHz – that sounds like a lot of power. After a few minutes, Real Racing 3 at any rate, the Samsung flounder are in this respect then no nakedness, and in AnTuTu benchmark are very tidy 34,000 points.
For the battery life, we can not comment after the brief test period, an informed assessment of endurance of 7,900 mAh power plant in 10.5 (in 8.4 meanwhile comes only a 4,800 mAh battery is used) then follows in our full review, which will be released in the coming days on CURVED.First Conclusion
I like what Samsung since served us with the new Tabs on Tablet S fare. While there are somehow only updates the tab PRO devices improve this but makes sense and does not cost more here. The basic design like it better than before, the 6.6 millimeter in thickness are an announcement and display such performance seems beyond doubt.
We are excited to see how the Galaxy Tab 10.5 S now suggests the coming days for everyday use, and will then report to you as soon as possible if you have it for around 500 euros to do here with a potential iPad killer, or if Samsung pushes into the void with its new tablet offensive.
