32 GB (SM-T705)     See other variants reviews Score: 74.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is an incredibly powerful Android tablet released in 2014, equipped with a pretty large 8.4-inches multi touch display, a great Octa-Core processing unit (formed by a Quad-Core ticking at 1900 megahertz and a Quad-Core ticking at 1300 megahertz), an 8 MP back camera and a 2.1 MP front side camera.

Samsung is offering the Tab S 8.4 in black and white. The Tab S 8.4 just has 8.38" long and 4.94" wide, but it is able to fit a a 8.4 inches display. The Tab S 8.4 has an amazing design, with a thickness of just 0.26". This tablet is much lighter than what you would expect from a tablet this size.

Samsung ships this tablet with a Exynos 5 Octa 5420 chip, including a high performance Octa-Core CPU (composed by a Quad-Core running at 1.9 gigahertz and an additional Quad-Core running at 1.3 gigahertz) and a large 3 GB RAM. This tablet has a impressive 32 GB internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, more than enough to store lots of applications, games, songs, photos and videos without thinking about how much memory is left.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 includes an awesome 8.4 inches screen with a 2560 x 1600 resolution, which makes all images and videos look absolutely perfect. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This device is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2.1 megapixels front facing camera. It can also film videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. The camera also has multiple great features like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This tablet includes wifi connection (which can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed data connection and 3G fast internet connection, using HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 works with a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

The Tab S 8.4 comes with a great 4900 mAh non-removable battery providing this device an incredible battery life. An issue to evaluate is that this tablet's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts losing capacity, even though with this big battery you will probably replace this tablet before it happens.

This tablet also includes a couple of useful characteristics as Fingerprint Scanner, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Samsung is offering the Tab S 8.4 for $ 166, which is quite close to other similar portable tablets. The Tab S 8.4 is definitely the correct option for you no matter if you are looking for a social tablet device, want this device to take lots of photographs, want a gaming device or need it for work.
