Samsung Galaxy Tab S – tamer iPad? – Computer World (press release)

Contents:

Until recently, the only tablet that the real
 pleasure to hold in your hand was Sony Xperia Tablet Z2. Now
 appeared Galaxy Tab 10.5 LTE S. It is relatively lightweight, slim,
 efficient, has a AMOLED screen with high resolution, built-in modem
 LTE and GSM supports voice calls. It lacks perhaps the only
 watertight, but this sacrifice, which in the case of the tablet
 I’m ready. Is the Galaxy Tab 10.5 LTE S proves to be a worthy
 competitor to the iPad tablet and the latest company
 Sony?
see.

First Impression

S Galaxy Tab 10.5 is made in the style that perfectly
 komponowałaby both qualitatively and stylistically with
 S5 Galaxy smartphone, the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, if not
 the fact that Samsung’s new tablet is only available in colors
 gold-brown (Titanium Bronze) and the gold-and-white (Dazzling
 White). In both cases, the side frame unit has been finished
 in gold rather than in the most popular in the Galaxy series S silver
 color. Unless someone is the owner of Galaxy S5 Editing
 Gold.

The front panel of the tablet cover very rigid glass plate,
 but has not been probably made of any known type
 glass. Because I do not think that the marketing of the Korean manufacturer
 simply concealed this fact. Rear of the unit is made and on the
 plastic, the texture and the quality is very similar to the rear panel
 smartphone Galaxy S5.

At the top of the screen frame (photo bottom left)
 manufacturer has placed a light sensor, front camera for
 2.1 megapixel resolution and a shiny corporate logo.

Below the screen is the latest, already known from the Galaxy S5 button layout
 control the operation of the operating system – with a central mechanical
 home button, which is also a fingerprint reader
 and the left and right sides of the touch buttons and return
 Switching between applications (image at the bottom of the

On the right side of the device (photo bottom left) we see
 two open flaps – for Micro SIM card and memory card
 micro SD / SDHC / SDXC. Between them is a USB 2.0/MHL
 2.1, and on the top side of the outlet grille enclosed sound from the right
 Speaker of the tablet.

at the top left side of the tablet (photo bottom right)
 manufacturer placed second speaker and placed in bold
 Housing minijack headphone jack 3.5 millimeters. Some
 disappointed me, however, wiping the paint visible on the edge

At the top of the Galaxy Tab S (photo bottom left) we see
 a small glass panel Infrared (above the camera optics) and
 buttons control the operation of the tablet – switch and controller

At the bottom of the unit there is a place only for a tiny

On the rear panel, in addition to the mandatory Samsung logo can also be seen
 optics main camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels and LED
 camera flash shooting scene (photo bottom left).
 Two box-like circular buttons at the bottom of
 the rear panel, on both sides are said to attach to a
 optional carrying case for your tablet.

Comes with the test copy I received only charger
 USB adapter with a capacity of 2 A and a USB cable, but it is worth
 mention of two optional accessories (photos
 below) – the already mentioned before the moment of its case (three images on
 bottom left) and a dedicated keyboard (the picture at the bottom of the
 right). Both accessories, as you can see in the pictures, blend
 with the Galaxy Tab S 10.5. It is a pity, therefore, that I have not received the test
 together with the tablet.
