Wi-Fi Only (SM-T700)     See other variants reviews Score: 74.4 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a totally fascinating Android tablet released back in the year 2014, including an exceptional Octa-Core CPU (composed by a Quad-Core at 1.9 gigahertz and an additional Quad-Core running at 1300 megahertz), a pretty large 8.4 inches multi touch capacitive screen, an 8 MP back camera and a 2.1 mega-pixels front side camera. But let's get into some more details.

Being just 0.26" thick,this tablet is incredibly slim and practical. This tablet is a very compact portable tablet, taking into consideration it has a 8.4" display and it's only 8.38" long. Samsung made the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4available only in 2 color options: black and white. Samsung made an excellent job making this tablet weight only 10.37 ounces.

Samsung equipped this tablet with a Exynos 5 Octa 5420 chip, holding a high-tech Octa-Core CPU (actually, there is a Quad-Core speeding at 1.9 GHz and an additional Quad-Core running at 1.3 gigahertz) and a large 3 GB of RAM memory. This tablet counts with a 32 GB excellent internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, allowing the user to store tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without even thinking about filling the tablet.

The Tab S 8.4 is equipped with a incredible 2560 x 1600 8.4-inches display, providing this tablet with a perfect image quality. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This tablet has wifi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed connectivity and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSPA and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a Micro SIM card for GSM services.

This tablet is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2.1 megapixels front side camera. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 can also film videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera counts with a large number of useful characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This tablet packs a 4900 mAh incredible non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. An issue to take into account is that the Tab S 8.4's battery isn't replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, although with its 4900 mAh you will probably discard this tablet before it becomes an issue.

This tablet also includes a few cool characteristics such as Fingerprint unlock, Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This tablet is a completely fascinating tablet priced about 169 dollars, which is quite the same as other similar tablet devices.
