The undoubted advantage of the device are very thin frame around the display. It has a diagonal of 10.5 inches, yet the tablet does not give the impression of an oversized, quite the contrary. It’s an incredibly slim design, especially if we add to this the thickness of only 6.6 mm. Also impressive weight – 465 grams.
around the screen extends shiny, gold frame, which may look impressive, but it is not a practical solution. Much more ucieszyłoby me apply here matt plastic confers more robustness of the whole structure (even if this would be done at the expense of weight.)
S Galaxy Tab 10.5 is equipped with a variety of connectors and components. On the left side you will find a 3.5mm headphone jack minijack, and the first of multimedia speakers. A second was located on the opposite side. Near the special plugs were hidden card slots Micro SD and Micro SIM card (only for LTE). In the central point in striking contrast to the bead, which powwstało built here by the Micro USB port. The top edge is a place designed for the infrared port, and power buttons and volume control, and the bottom is hidden hole miniature microphone.
Back is a traditional plastic, though cleverly disguised, because Samsung has applied here regularly pressed texture with dots, identical as in the case of the smartphone Galaxy S5. In addition, the bottom corners will find openings for attaching a dedicated, original case. Here, of course, could not miss a camera lens, which were supported by LED Illuminates LED. The back cover creaks and does not bend under the weight of the hand, which should be considered a plus. But this is not the toughest part of the whole structure.
Display, battery, connectivity
display with a diagonal of 10.5 inches is a kind of test wizytkówka tablet. It was made in the technology Super AMOLED, which is kind of unique in the segment of tablets, as well as a huge step forward. Nevertheless, it should be noted that this technology has its pros and cons. Not everyone will correspond to wildly expressive and full of contrasts color palette. Ripening tonal borders here almost a miracle. Fortunately, Samsung gives us the disposal of several profiles that allow you to customize the display to your preference and the currently performed. No matter which you choose, we will always be able to count on wide viewing angles, as well as a fantastic representation of black, which is a recognizable feature Super AMOLED-s. You also can not ignore the high rate of the brightness (approx. 366 cd / m 2), which facilitates the use of the device on sunny days.
Resolution 2560 × 1600 px in combination with the diagonal give satisfactory density 288 pixels per inch. The image is sharp and very detailed. There’s no way we glimpsed here any pixels or jagged edges. Fonts in ebookach and the text on the website is presented satisfactorily and is very expressive.
Built in Taba S Galaxy 10.5 battery has a capacity of 7900 mAh. This gives you 7 hours of typical use: WiFi, Web browser, video, applications, and some games. Of course you can effectively shorten the time, katując tablet latest news with 3D graphics. In general, however, it should oscillate within these limits.
Tablet is available sold in two versions, which, however, was also equipped with a modem 4G LTE. For his actions difficult to have misgivings, but I admit that my tests were limited to network play, where the speed is limited, so Galaxy Tab S is not able to show its full potential. An undoubted advantage of the device is the ability to make calls and send SMS messages.
Samsung took care of the presence of all necessary communication modules. There were, therefore, here dual-band antenna ac WiFi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS (+ GLONASS), and the infrared port. The latter allows us to use the tablet to control for example. TVs.
system, applications, and performance
Samsung Galaxy S Tab 10.5 is running Android 4.4.2 KitKat with TouchWiz overlay graphics. This is the latest edition of Samsung’s interface, which you can love or hate, but certainly hard to go unnoticed.
A characteristic element of UX Magazine is here, and so additional panels of tiles that display content. One of them gives us access to information in the country, the world and the various categories. The second are the place where we can find a calendar, information on e-mail or content from social networking sites. Although able to change the system and edit widżeetów but we have very limited room for maneuver, especially if you use Gmail or Google calendar, then UX Magazine, we will not have too much to offer. Fortunately, this solution can work with external applications. Everything therefore in the hands of developers who can make them much more functional.
System conceals enormous the number of additives. Behind the right edge at any time we can extend the toolbox of frequently used applications. The screen is not multitasking while the entire space of the display, and takes the form of the strip at the bottom edge. You also can not skip the startup of two applications simultaneously and share the display area, which allows efficient use of the available space. Since this type of arrangement even head hurts here, but fans of gadżeciarskich solutions should be delighted.
Samsung also took care of a number of additional applications. We find here, among others, WatchOn program allows you to convert our tablet remote control TV. The application will allow SideSync while displaying on the screen of our smart phone (provided that it is one of the newer models of the Galaxy family) and its wireless service. You also can not ignore the module Remote PC by which remotely connect our computer and display the on-screen tablet of its desktop. All this is complemented by a business communicator Cisco WebEx, as well as the security mechanisms based on the built-in fingerprint reader.
You can also skip the additional set of promotional subscriptions that users are treated to a new tablet Samsung. Among the available titles are: Newsweek, Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita, Bloomberg and The Economist. We can also count on half a year free access to Deezer Premium, as well as 50 GB in Dropboksie for two years. To this must be added after three months in the Marvel comic book platform and native Unlimited Legimi and 7 free audiobooks from Audioteki. Sports fans will enjoy 6-month free streaming of Live Sports TV, and active users skrozystają on continuing in the same subscription service SKIMBLE with exercise. We also have free loans in games Cut the Rope, Asphalt 8 and Family Guy. As you can see, is that here the mass (certainly all not mentioned), and everyone will find something for themselves.
What about performance? The tested model was based on ośmiordzeniowym system Exynos 5 Octa 5420 based on the architecture big.LITTLE. We are therefore dealing here with four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.9 GHz and four Crtex-A7 1.3 GHz. They are complemented by Mali-T628 GPU MP6 ora zimponująca amount of 3 GB of RAM. It is a pity that the manufacturer stint on the flash memory, which you will find here only 16 GB. Fortunately, situations saves MicroSD card support. Results of the benchmarks put below.
And how does it work in practice? Well, Galaxy Tab S does not have problems with advanced 3D games and demanding applications. They work very smoothly here and feel it clearly. Unfortunately this is not a permanent state. Tablet likes to sometimes noticeably slow down, resulting in “crispy” animations and problems multitasking. This is partly the result of overloading it functions very ponderous and TouchWiz interface. The situation may look better in a model with Snapdragon, which benchmarks has a clear advantage over the layout of Samsung. I find it difficult to say whether this is the case.
Camera
Samsung Galaxy Tab S has a camera with a sensor 8 Mpix supported by autofocus and LED Illuminates LED. As for the tablet offers a very decent results. What you see below. The situation is worsening in the darker areas where the Galaxy Tab S is no problem collecting the field, as well as doskwierającymi noise. It does not help then often even LED. It is worth mentioning also developed applications with a large number of configuration options: white balance, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation and so on.
The front webcam has a matrix 2.1 Mpix and does not deviate from the standards. For Skype and occasional pictures selfie type should be enough.
Summary
Are we came to the ideal? Not really. Samsung Galaxy S Tab 10.5 is a fantastic device with many strengths. Certainly include them slim design, fantastic display, decent battery life, multiple communication modules and solid camera. This device, however, still suffers from the sins of the typical Samsung – the plastic and quite frail structure (situation can save a dedicated pouch Book Cover and thoughtful way of mounting it on the hooks) and rebooted fountains, efekciarską graphics overlay, TouchWiz. The latter obscures one of the strengths of the tablet, which is a strong specification. Sometimes a gadget is simply not knead.
does not change the fact that the Galaxy Tab S is currently one of the most attractive tablet with Android. Competition will be hard to beat his strengths. I think that I sin not writing, it’s also a great alternative to the iPad, which beats it in terms of slenderness and the quality of the display. To buy the best currently on the market with Android tablet just can not skip the test model, despite its minor flaws.
