For the latest incarnation of the Galaxy Tab, Samsung has beefed up the processor, improved the screen and managed to make it even thinner. But is it still the best Android tablet out there?

Terrific screen; fast processor; slim but sturdy build; expandable memory; good battery life; reasonable price

TouchWiz might be a bit busy for some; not a lot of on-board storage; not waterproof

Samsung's tablet lineup can feel a bit crowded-it already offers Tab and Note devices, each with its own Pro version.

A superb AMOLED display, slim design, and great performance make the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 the best tablet on the market today. Adding LTE makes it even better.

Superb screen; Solid specs; Excellent battery life; Expandable memory; Multiple users

Magazine UX customizations can be annoying; Lots of unneeded third-party software; No NFC

Excellent camera (Main and selfie),excellent display and excellent desing. A good battery life with really heavy usage and a ui rich of features with little lags. Plus a strong processor and sd card. I thing one of the best tablets so far.

excellent and beautiful display; maybe the best camera (and selfie camera) for tablet; A touchwiz full of useful things; sd card; good battery life; strong and fast processor; beautiful desing; lightweight

little lags

A worthy rival to the

High resolution screen; Excellent battery life; Attractive; light and thin

Bronze version not for everyone; Screen is overly saturated; Let down by Android tablet app selection

Samsung has aimed high with the Tab S, and met its target: this pair of premium tablets are serious competition for Apple's iPad, thanks to a gorgeous screen, some serious horsepower and impressive battery life.

A premium-priced tablet with an eye-popping display, the Tablet S delivers the most innovation we've seen in several tablet generations. It's the best full-size Android slate to date.

Gorgeous; roomy AMOLED display; Ultra-light for its size class; Nearly chart-topping battery life

Speakers sound tinny and distorted at maximum volume; Smooth back panel lacks tactile grip; Soft navigation buttons flanking home button are oversensitive; No support for NFC

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is one of the firm's best ever tablets with a thin and light design, although there is still too much plastic. Hardware is decent, namely that impressive display and great battery life making this a consumption machine. It's got pretty much everything you could want on a tablet, and it is priced competitively against its key rivals earning it a recommended award.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S might not yet be quite able to beat the Apple at the tablet game, but it's one of the first to really give the iPad a run for its money. Though not quite as insanely thin and light as the latest iPad Air 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S comes very close to the Apple tablet's...

Very snappy very responsive and very light weight as well. Highly recommended to get a protective case for it.
