Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 review: great screen, disappointing battery life

We often tease Samsung about the seemingly arbitrary way it divvies up its tablet offerings -- not content with round numbers, it's released tablets that are 10.1 inches wide instead of 10, 8.9 instead of 9, 7.7 instead of 8, and so on.

With both the 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch Galaxy Tab S, Samsung has managed to stand out in a sea of lookalike tablets. Even more impressive, they’ve managed to do it without resorting to ridiculous gimmicks.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Review: Should you buy it?

Image: www.samsungmobilepress.com Tab S is Samsung's version of iPad-like experience on Android and with this device Android will never be the same. Till date, Android has never been seen as a tablet platform owing to its basic functionality purpose but slowly and gradually that notion is changing for good. Tab S comes in two form sizes; 8.4 inch and 10.5 inch and primarily fighting out against the might of iPad and its mini version as well. What is it?
