Samsung, the market leader of Android smartphones, recently launched a new range of tablets:Tab S. The series comprises of two variants, namely Galaxy Tab S - 8.4 and Galaxy Tab S - 10.5. Priced at about 37,800 and 44,800 these tablets are to hit the stores in July with pre-bookings having already started. Galaxy Tab S tablets compete with Apple's iPad range.
Built design :
One good thing about the rear panel is that, due to it's finish one is no longer concerned about the fingerprints. On the innovative aspect, Samsung has incorporated two circular clips (as in image) on the back of Tab S for it's smart cover, for the ease of clipping.
The plus points for Tab S, are the Super AMOLED display
boasting WQXGA resolution. The Galaxy Tab S is also the slimmest (6.6mm) and
lightest (465/294 grams) tablet in Samsung’s portfolio.
Talking of specifications, the
bigger 10.5-inch tablet features a 7,900mAh battery, while the 8.4-inch
has a 4,900mAh battery.
You also get a fingerprint reader, hidden beneath the home buttons!!
The tablets flaunt a Super
AMOLED display with WQXGA resolution (2560×1600 pixels) that translates
into 288ppi for the 10.5-inch variant and 359ppi for the 8.4-inch
variant.
