I bought this tablet in 2015. I still have it after almost 5 years. It still works well and has no broken keys. Battery life is still 3 hours of video streaming at medium brightness. Although it can't play latest games it is a great tablet for watching videos and photos.
Mines was lagging so I gave it to my ex in 2018. I was using it to watch movies that are downloaded it to watch at work since I dont have wifi all the time. plus its the best SNES and NINTENDO DS EMULATOR
Watched this video, got impresed by this tablet, went on ebay, saw reviews, ordered this tablet, and now writing this comment from tab s 10.5 like a BOSS😎😎
Onkar Apte Aah, nice,I was wondering because I read alot of lag and stutter issues online, thanks for the quick reply! Totally gonna buy this tablet ;)
I bought it in 2014. Years later I wanted to use it again after at least 4 weeks and it had 50% battery left. Wifi was off and the display too. The battery still today holds weeks when wifi is off... I watch movies and series on it. It easily lasts for 10 episodes each 50 min. And the display doesn't just hold up till today, it's even top tier. 2560x1600 AMOLED. The S8 doesn't even have that😅
My Galaxy Tab S have a very very bad battery, it isn't more usable and have because that bad performance, the screen have burn-in problems😅 But I like it😊
Really interesting, complete and focused review. Just made me want to buy it all the more, since I never had a tablet, and I want one to search the web, see all those images, videos, read pdfs and other documents. Damm, now I need to get it (plus the screen looks just amazing!!).
The updated versions weren’t really a game changer as such..they only had newer processors..but unless one is into gaming the first generation is still fine for most tasks..
I have been using this Tab S for awhile now, after switching from a Note Pro, and it is amazing! You do a great job reviewing as I discovered a few things I didn't know about by watching your video-Thanks. Hope they come out with a Note version of this tablet as I miss the S Pen.
You are a superb reviewer my friend! Saw this video a week ago. Just received my 10.5 today. SUPER AMOLED is the way to go! I.M.O. You have definitely earned a subscriber! Cheers! Keep up the good work!
I got my galxy stablet tablet on my December 1 on my 28th birthday this year and I love it.Much better than the apple ipad.Thanks for uploading this review on the product.
Yes, buy it next month, Samsung Galaxy Tab S was named the best tablet in 2014, no wonder that it received the award. And the screen! absolutely amazing!
after watching the iPad Air 2 review, i think that some people that buys apple product buys it because because of its name. think about it! when the first iPhone came out, people went insane over it. just say the word over and over again. it is because of the name, and people think it is a really good phone because of the way it sounds, and some people doesnt really realize what it comes with and its feature. in my opinion, the features of the Samsung tablet is better than the iPad Air 2. if people choose Apple devices over samsung because of hardware installments, and/or features, that is completely fine!! BUT, with ALL tech devices such as phone and tablets, big tech company like samsung and apple tries to approach it to the poorer people than rich, because thats where over 60% of their income comes from. its just from my perspective, but others surely do have many opinion when it comes to buying new things. just remember it not how big the screen may be, or how thin it is, or the quality(sometimes) but if it make good use to you
its a winner ... I knew Samsung wouldn't let me down , I just need it to have a sim card slot for mobile networks for outside uses . but im still happy
I have to say that when it comes to reviews. You one of the best at reviewn product. You actually teach and demonstrate while doing the review. I really enjoy your videos. One question. Its just me or it seems that samsung its coming out with way too many table in a short period of time.. And personally I think they all look the same..
Thanks for the great feedback, I really appreciate that! And yes, Samsung iterates fast and frequently to find as many market gaps to fill. It's fun as an electronic reviewer, but sometimes it's confusing to the customer.
I recently won an iPad Air from a company and I can't help but hate the Hell out of this OS and product, make no mistake - I'm VERY grateful that I won the product because I plan on using the Air for school stuff but this is VERY hard because I'm not familiar with the OS and it feels so restricted compared to Android; I don't understand what people see in this OS. I'm looking to switch it out now because of this, it will interfere with school and I can't have that.
Wow! This Samsung Tablet has impressed me. It's amazing 😉. The tab s 8.4 and 10.5 here, both are definitely worth buying in 2017. I am getting one in White and Gold of the 10.5 inch. And another thing that this tablet has impressed me is that very colourful and bright Super Amoled Display which is more to meet the naked eye. 👁 So, who's getting one like me?
My battery dies when I am powered off but most importantly, the wifi doesn't turn on. The switch turns on but stays greyed and after a minute or so, turns off. No access to the internet!
In a way, modern tablets have returned to this particular form factor. The current Galaxy Tab models are designed to be used this way, but with the home button and fingerprint scanner now at the right side of the screen when in landscape mode.
Blake Fasse I use tons of Linux, Mac and Windows machines. Samsung is over-rated as far as Android is concerned. I use both Apple and Android mobile and tablet devices, but I can't stand this ridiculous flaming between those groups. Having said, I dislike Samsung and Google for how they handled this entire mess. That recent bending PR thing (on twitter) was made me to resolve never to buy a Samsung mobile device again. I hope Google rolls out a few stunning Andriod models.
One of the best reviews I've seen in my entire life. Keep up the good work! I instantly subscribed. That is, after the entire video was played ofcourse, haha. Couldn't stop watching. And thanks... It's your fault I now bought a Tab S, hahaha.
stuart robertson I went for it arrived few days ago and my what a superb tablet colours are superb for videos and pictures and runs nice and fluid as well.
I bought mine Tab S 10.5 in the end of 2014, and it is still working just fine. Later on I tried s pen from my note, it didn't work at the beginning but Samsung staff did something and it worked just fine. Even with ordinary graphite pen I could do some sketches. I did my sketches on my tablet mostly, but never had any scratches on the screen. Basically, seeing recent updates on tab series I felt a bit old and checking out if people still use theirs as I do, I see people still do😃
Wow I'm impressed, way more customizable than the Ipad and other tablets out there. I would literally buy this product but i see no use of buying a tablet.
I'm not too much of a fan of the Galaxy Tab S2 screen aspect ratio. I hate 4:3. I have a Tab 4 7" and an iPad mini 4. I wish tablets had a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio because that's better for watching movies on.
Wow! You can really talk fast. Anyone else would have taken at least 30 minutes to cover the features you did. That's a plus in my opinion. I can always rewind and listen again if I miss something. At the speed you were going, I never once thought about skipping over a section. You were done with it before I got my hand on the mouse. :-)
I think Apple and Samsung should make a mixture phone with iOS or Android Tunning on, or Apple specks or Samaung specks or a mixture of samsung and apple speck should be on that phone. I bet it eill break a lot of records at top selling phones and there will be no phone war between them. Like if you agree so everyone can see
I think having apple products running Samsung's android touchwiz would be cool. There could be the iPhone Touchwiz 1, iPad Touchwiz 1, iPod Touchwiz 1, etc, etc.
Very informative video, I learned a few things I didn't know about the tablet. I bought this tablet with the matching keyboard case and I love it. I'm subscribing. A fellow Detroiter!
Does it seem slow to anyone else? I am trying to decide between this and the Ipad Air 2, but the OS just seems super slow. Everytime he does an action its really delayed. Does anyone else notice this as well?
Hey I am deciding between iPad air 2 and this as well. I'm not sure what to get either. Tab S is cheaper but I want to try out an iPad. Tell me what you get and ur opinions
I have an ipad and also this galaxy tab s, with the samsung tablet its a bit laggy because of touchwiz, the ipads iOS is mutch faster and lag is not possible. If you see the benchmarks and graphics score the ipad air 2 scores mutch, mutch better So if you buy a tablet you buy the ipad air, it has much more preformance but its a little bit more expensive.
kobe Cornelis the lag on samsung is easily fixed, I was playing around in developer options and turned animation speed and window speed and the other one of them to 0 and got nova launcher, now my S4 runs just as fast as my friends 5S, even in touch wiz
***** First off my husband is an Engineer with his PhD so believe me he knows how to take care of his electronics, also, you apparently don't know how software and hardware works.....
I have Tab S 10.5 and it still works great. The only downside is it only charges through a short 1 feet Amazon Basics cable.. Android 6 is still fine for most tasks..
I own this tablet, I bought it when it came out in 2014. Now it is just slow and it isn't at the latest Android version. Plus after 5 years, the battery is now bad and lasts 3 to 5 hours. But hey it is now a cheap android tablet, get the Tab S6, this tablet is no longer as good as it used to be.
@@marigold5194 no problem, I had to buy the S10 when it came out becuase the tablet is getting old. But everything has an end, and the Tab S had stop supporting the latest version of Andriod since 2017. It still works though, not as fast as it used to be.
@@christianpimentel1426 Yeah!!! Get the S6! Only $729 at B&H! OR: The original Powerhouse S6, A DUAL QUAD CORE POWER HOUSE, That is still is good as anything for most uses, has every thing the modern ones have (AHEM: Including Android 9: piunikaweb.com/2019/06/21/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-10-5-one-ui-android-pie-9-0-update-now-hitting-wifi-variants/ ) and they MADE THEM BETTER BACK THEN,. The same year my 'Galaxy Note 4' came out, It gave me VR... I have thrown it around with total abandon for years and it never got the slightest scratch on the screen, I got a Modern Galaxy S8 phone, It was Scratched Deep in a week, just from being in my pocket! POC! Naw, My DUAL OCTA CORE with 2560x1440 AMOLED, IR LED, Gyro/Magnetic/Gravity/Accelorometer, Light, Heat and more sensors, multi-task multi app, that I got for $90,.. Will serve me just fine for watching RUclips/Netflix etc!.
Wow, that is a lot of stuff ...I came to this video after watching some iPad mini videos and I can't imagine why anyone would choose an iPad, there is no comparison... It definitely has to be for the "name" because there is no way, the features of an iPad come close to all the stuff a tablet like this one can do...
Very good reviewof the SM-T800. Got this tablet many years ago and was very happy with it. Now, the wifi doesn't work. After reading many comments from other forums, I believe this particular model has a hardware issue with the wifi/bluetooth apparatus. With mine, the switch(wifi and bluetooth) would turn on but remain greyed for a minute and then switch off. No internet! Also the battery will drain fast with the tablet powered off.
I have used and seen couple of tablets previously. but this is the one that I loved.the only bad thing about this device is that it is not waterproof.everything about this tablet is great.great build,great display,great battery,great performance. Really this tablet is among the few who can really compete Ipad air 2..
+Raahem Nabeel S2 is almost same as Tab S in specifications and performance.S2 has portrait orientation while S has landscape orientation.S2 base model has 32 GB internal while S base model has 16 GB.S2 has metallic body while S has a plastic one.Bigger Tab S has 10.5 inch screen while Bigger S2 has 9.7 inch screen.S has flash while S2 doesn't. So apart from design changes there are few differences.S2 has better and faster fingerprint sensor.Expect an assured and quicker Android 6 update for S2.Tab S may not get android 6 update...
+Raahem Nabeel I missed the major difference in my comment.S2 doesn't have flash like Tab S.But it can record 1440 p(2k) video while S can only record 1080p(Full HD).So Tab S2 is better than Tab S..
+SiddheshDe Thanks a lot for the info , I am planning on getting S2 as I plan on using my new tab for a long time so I'd appreciate software updates like android 6...
I'd rather have a tablet which has a nicer operating system than an aluminium case. My wife has an Air and while it's a really nice thing to use, it's terribly annoying for someone who uses Android and a PC. Lots of problems which I've never encountered with an Android device. Watching this because I'm looking for an Android alternative to the Apple.
Man I remember watching this in October 2014 deciding on this or iPad Air 2. I’m glad I made the choice of iPad as it aged like fine wine and everyone here says this thing is so laggy. Well it was nice to visit a 7 year old video and a 7 year younger me. Now in college and wish I didn’t sell my iPad as I no longer use it.
I have an idea, How about those who support, and have an Apple device go watch the reviews of an Apple device. And those who support Android, and have an Android Device, watch Android reviews. Instead of going to the other's faction and dissing them.
The color is so vibrant it sold me on it i have a s4 and 65 in hd7150 but the color is greater on this tablet they had it at the pawn shop almost brand new for 350..i got it for 250...with a 6 month warranty.
You should really do a video on all the tech you have reviewed and show them all very shortly! That would be awesome, because I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, and I am curious to see what kind of tech you have.
this tablet has been my childhood aswell as the galaxy s5, tablet was the other color and the phone was black, sadly the phone falled to ground but the display stopped working, and the tablet, it also falled to the ground, man i miss my old 2 devices...
This tablet is still one of the best, especially if you install lineage android 7.1 on it. I did few days ago and all the apps that was listed as incompatible are working!
hello i have tab s 10.5 ..i would like to ask how to downlod flash player of it..i cannot access some sites because they are asking for flash player..thank you
Your reviews are so detailed that I can't even choose between the tablets I wanna buy. I'm kind of into the Apple ecosystem as for tablets, but I really like the features on Android tablets (pop out video, layering of apps, multi window ...). So right now, I'm just trying not to die because of the mind blowing choice. The new iPad that'll come out would be a safe choice, but again, with less feature as for multitasking, but then, which Android tablet should I get then? The NotePRO 12.2 seems really really good with the quad multiwindow, I really like the Spen, but the Tab S' AMOLED hi-res displays are sooooo gorgeous, and they are more likely to keep being updated... But a big tablet is hard to move around, yet sometimes a small tablet just isn't comfortable enough. So yeah, I'm lost. And comically enough, I'm lost because you do you job very well. 😅
+Kappy “Engi” Kappington This is my struggle. For the life of me I cannot choose between the iPad Air 2 or the Galaxy Tab S2. I love Samsung because of its great features, but the iPad is slightly (not significantly) faster. And to add on to my struggle- the Air 2 now has multitasking which is something that made me lean more towards Samsung. iOS 9 is pretty cool for the iPad. I wouldn't think twice about getting the Galaxy Tab S2 though if it weren't for one issue; the battery life. They've made it way smaller in order to make it lighter (big mistake), and now the iPad Air 2 and even its previous version (the Tab S) have a much better battery life than the S2. I just can't decide if 5-6 hours is actually good enough to get through the day, as you normally would with 9-10 hours of battery on the iPad. *Sigh*
I bought this tablet in 2015. I still have it after almost 5 years. It still works well and has no broken keys. Battery life is still 3 hours of video streaming at medium brightness. Although it can't play latest games it is a great tablet for watching videos and photos.
Hi, does it support any type of Bluetooth pen?
@@marayalaricchia876 No
Mines was lagging so I gave it to my ex in 2018. I was using it to watch movies that are downloaded it to watch at work since I dont have wifi all the time. plus its the best SNES and NINTENDO DS EMULATOR
Same mine is a handdown (even though it was a handdown it still works perfectly!
@@Siddeo How much $ was it at the time?
I bought this in 2015 and still have it. Using the tab s and the tab s3. Both of them are just amazing
Watched this video, got impresed by this tablet, went on ebay, saw reviews, ordered this tablet, and now writing this comment from tab s 10.5 like a BOSS😎😎
+Onkar Apte Does it lag? Or have some stutter issues?
+Spook Dog nope. not at all. runs totally smooth. :) it has 3gb ram :)
Onkar Apte Aah, nice,I was wondering because I read alot of lag and stutter issues online, thanks for the quick reply! Totally gonna buy this tablet ;)
Spook Dog you should! you will definitely love this tab
+Onkar Apte Should I get this or the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4"?
I bought it in 2014. Years later I wanted to use it again after at least 4 weeks and it had 50% battery left. Wifi was off and the display too. The battery still today holds weeks when wifi is off... I watch movies and series on it. It easily lasts for 10 episodes each 50 min. And the display doesn't just hold up till today, it's even top tier. 2560x1600 AMOLED. The S8 doesn't even have that😅
Now the S9 and the S10 Tab catches back into it and is truly the first next gen tablet to be superior to the original one!
I also Bought a samsung galaxy tab s because it looks cool.mine is the bronze version and the tablet is nostalgia
My Galaxy Tab S have a very very bad battery, it isn't more usable and have because that bad performance, the screen have burn-in problems😅
But I like it😊
How u fixed the wifi?!! Tell me if u know
@Saam10387 I had no issues with WiFi... 🤔
Watching this in 2024 on my Tab S. Still great for video and I can't believe it's been nearly 10 years.
Is it still kicking?
@raskreia8326 slow as heck, but yes.
Bought this tab in 2015 and till today it's been doing good :)
Really interesting, complete and focused review. Just made me want to buy it all the more, since I never had a tablet, and I want one to search the web, see all those images, videos, read pdfs and other documents.
Damm, now I need to get it (plus the screen looks just amazing!!).
Finally u uploaded something new I've been waiting for so long!
I know, I'm sorry, but I promise more is coming fast and furious for the next couple of months :)
The best Samsung tablet even to this day in 2020
What I really like about it is the over the horizon music.
indeed
Agreed, mine is still working amazingly after all these years
The updated versions weren’t really a game changer as such..they only had newer processors..but unless one is into gaming the first generation is still fine for most tasks..
As I have said before your reviews are always spot on and really appreciate the style of them as never biased.. Great work Mike
I have been using this Tab S for awhile now, after switching from a Note Pro, and it is amazing! You do a great job reviewing as I discovered a few things I didn't know about by watching your video-Thanks. Hope they come out with a Note version of this tablet as I miss the S Pen.
Thanks, just consider this the video user manual. I suspect they'll launch the note tablets next month. They are overdue.
***** yes, Samsung should hire you to make How To videos for their products. Which wearable are you wearing?Do you like it?
Edge Surre I believe the watch he was using was the Samsung Gear Live.
I have this tablet but mine says
"Not for sale" on the back
This product was atleast 2 years ahead of its time in hardware when it was launched
This android tablet is unbelievably fast!!
It's kinda slow now

Keep dreaming bro
Samsung manufacturers most of the parts that go into the iPhones and iPads, so basically, they already do.

He meant more of a cross between the two of them, like the Ipad tab s or some shit like that. It'd be sick tho.
I don't think that's ever going to happen.

The best review of products ever! You rock!
Does it seem slow to anyone else? I am trying to decide between this and the Ipad Air 2, but the OS just seems super slow. Everytime he does an action its really delayed. Does anyone else notice this as well?
Hey I am deciding between iPad air 2 and this as well. I'm not sure what to get either. Tab S is cheaper but I want to try out an iPad. Tell me what you get and ur opinions
I have an ipad and also this galaxy tab s, with the samsung tablet its a bit laggy because of touchwiz, the ipads iOS is mutch faster and lag is not possible.
If you see the benchmarks and graphics score the ipad air 2 scores mutch, mutch better
So if you buy a tablet you buy the ipad air, it has much more preformance but its a little bit more expensive.
kobe Cornelis the lag on samsung is easily fixed, I was playing around in developer options and turned animation speed and window speed and the other one of them to 0 and got nova launcher, now my S4 runs just as fast as my friends 5S, even in touch wiz
***** First off my husband is an Engineer with his PhD so believe me he knows how to take care of his electronics, also, you apparently don't know how software and hardware works.....
***** Oh, sorry, I thought you meant me :-/. Sorry I was bitchy :-).
so it's 2020 just pulled this out of closet powered up and wow it runs just as good today and my s20 ultra only issue on Android 6.0.
I have Tab S 10.5 and it still works great. The only downside is it only charges through a short 1 feet Amazon Basics cable..
Android 6 is still fine for most tasks..
I just bought this tablet from Amazon this morning.
Watching this on my tab s
Me too..it’s still working great

Awesome review now I feel a lot better about getting this tablet!!! Nice job dude

Thats not a bad idea
Snapple?
+ryan cole iDroid
Nice one Buff alo
As usual....love your videos...the best videos on youtube :)
Is it still worth it in 2019?
I own this tablet, I bought it when it came out in 2014. Now it is just slow and it isn't at the latest Android version. Plus after 5 years, the battery is now bad and lasts 3 to 5 hours. But hey it is now a cheap android tablet, get the Tab S6, this tablet is no longer as good as it used to be.
@@christianpimentel1426 thanks for this...i bought the new tab a 10.1" 2019...it's cheap and has the latest android version😊
@@marigold5194 no problem, I had to buy the S10 when it came out becuase the tablet is getting old. But everything has an end, and the Tab S had stop supporting the latest version of Andriod since 2017. It still works though, not as fast as it used to be.
@@christianpimentel1426 Yeah!!! Get the S6! Only $729 at B&H! OR: The original Powerhouse S6, A DUAL QUAD CORE POWER HOUSE, That is still is good as anything for most uses, has every thing the modern ones have (AHEM: Including Android 9: piunikaweb.com/2019/06/21/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-10-5-one-ui-android-pie-9-0-update-now-hitting-wifi-variants/ ) and they MADE THEM BETTER BACK THEN,. The same year my 'Galaxy Note 4' came out, It gave me VR... I have thrown it around with total abandon for years and it never got the slightest scratch on the screen, I got a Modern Galaxy S8 phone, It was Scratched Deep in a week, just from being in my pocket! POC! Naw, My DUAL OCTA CORE with 2560x1440 AMOLED, IR LED, Gyro/Magnetic/Gravity/Accelorometer, Light, Heat and more sensors, multi-task multi app, that I got for $90,.. Will serve me just fine for watching RUclips/Netflix etc!.
Is this great for pornography?
i want it just to watch youtube and movies,it is worth in 2020? i dant care a bout games and i want the tab just for 1 year? its slow or not?
Don't buy it, it's very slow and will lag a lot
@@Hitman-px8sl whats a bout galaxy s3 9.7? and thank you for your answer
I have Tab S 10.5 and it still works great. The only downside is it only charges through a short 1 feet Amazon Basics cable..
Wow, that is a lot of stuff ...I came to this video after watching some iPad mini videos and I can't imagine why anyone would choose an iPad, there is no comparison... It definitely has to be for the "name" because there is no way, the features of an iPad come close to all the stuff a tablet like this one can do...
I recently bought the 8.4 inch model and it will arrive in a few days!
I wish i got this instead of the ipad mini
Sad
@@revelplayzhd4686 that people don`t see that Apple is very poor tech for the money. just like the top samsung
I was was not talking about Apple
How dare you! The iPad mini is a lot better!
Very good reviewof the SM-T800. Got this tablet many years ago and was very happy with it. Now, the wifi doesn't work. After reading many comments from other forums, I believe this particular model has a hardware issue with the wifi/bluetooth apparatus. With mine, the switch(wifi and bluetooth) would turn on but remain greyed for a minute and then switch off. No internet! Also the battery will drain fast with the tablet powered off.
Watching on my tab s
Me too
Same to you
I have used and seen couple of tablets previously. but this is the one that I loved.the only bad thing about this device is that it is not waterproof.everything about this tablet is great.great build,great display,great battery,great performance. Really this tablet is among the few who can really compete Ipad air 2..
What about the tab S2
+Raahem Nabeel S2 is almost same as Tab S in specifications and performance.S2 has portrait orientation while S has landscape orientation.S2 base model has 32 GB internal while S base model has 16 GB.S2 has metallic body while S has a plastic one.Bigger Tab S has 10.5 inch screen while Bigger S2 has 9.7 inch screen.S has flash while S2 doesn't. So apart from design changes there are few differences.S2 has better and faster fingerprint sensor.Expect an assured and quicker Android 6 update for S2.Tab S may not get android 6 update...
+Raahem Nabeel I missed the major difference in my comment.S2 doesn't have flash like Tab S.But it can record 1440 p(2k) video while S can only record 1080p(Full HD).So Tab S2 is better than Tab S..
+SiddheshDe Thanks a lot for the info , I am planning on getting S2 as I plan on using my new tab for a long time so I'd appreciate software updates like android 6...
I still use this tablet in 2019 the tab s4 is just too damn expensive for a tablet and the processer they offer
What is the Android support now
Im a fan of yours. greetings from the Philippines
So basically for $499 you get this piece of plastic trash instead of the all aluminum iPad Air?
Aluminium isnt everything. The screen of this tablet for example just blows your poor iPad away. I'd rather have a better screen tbh. :)
Personally I don't like aluminium, so there you go.
Plastic feels more comfortable.
Really showing your intelligence.
Jack Strosahl all 8 can run at once if the power is needed
I'd rather have a tablet which has a nicer operating system than an aluminium case. My wife has an Air and while it's a really nice thing to use, it's terribly annoying for someone who uses Android and a PC. Lots of problems which I've never encountered with an Android device. Watching this because I'm looking for an Android alternative to the Apple.
I like your review style!!!! So simple and great review.
You talk way too fast.. Slow it down.
You listen too slow speed it up
Man I remember watching this in October 2014 deciding on this or iPad Air 2. I’m glad I made the choice of iPad as it aged like fine wine and everyone here says this thing is so laggy. Well it was nice to visit a 7 year old video and a 7 year younger me. Now in college and wish I didn’t sell my iPad as I no longer use it.
It can take a full minute for RUclips to load. Never buy Samsung GaLAGsy.
I have an idea, How about those who support, and have an Apple device go watch the reviews of an Apple device. And those who support Android, and have an Android Device, watch Android reviews. Instead of going to the other's faction and dissing them.
Your review is so helpful. Thanks a lot
I hate apple, wait I mean I hate crapple.
We miss you. Please come back.
1st
Nope ur second
To get raped
Lol
Your reviews are so helpful!!! Thank for all your reviews!!
The color is so vibrant it sold me on it i have a s4 and 65 in hd7150 but the color is greater on this tablet they had it at the pawn shop almost brand new for 350..i got it for 250...with a 6 month warranty.
You should really do a video on all the tech you have reviewed and show them all very shortly! That would be awesome, because I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, and I am curious to see what kind of tech you have.
this tablet has been my childhood aswell as the galaxy s5, tablet was the other color and the phone was black, sadly the phone falled to ground but the display stopped working, and the tablet, it also falled to the ground, man i miss my old 2 devices...
DetroitBORG Great videos. You got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.
This tablet is still one of the best, especially if you install lineage android 7.1 on it. I did few days ago and all the apps that was listed as incompatible are working!
Fucking can't install lineage on the snapdragon version...fuck
hello i have tab s 10.5 ..i would like to ask how to downlod flash player of it..i cannot access some sites because they are asking for flash player..thank you
Your reviews are so detailed that I can't even choose between the tablets I wanna buy. I'm kind of into the Apple ecosystem as for tablets, but I really like the features on Android tablets (pop out video, layering of apps, multi window ...). So right now, I'm just trying not to die because of the mind blowing choice. The new iPad that'll come out would be a safe choice, but again, with less feature as for multitasking, but then, which Android tablet should I get then? The NotePRO 12.2 seems really really good with the quad multiwindow, I really like the Spen, but the Tab S' AMOLED hi-res displays are sooooo gorgeous, and they are more likely to keep being updated... But a big tablet is hard to move around, yet sometimes a small tablet just isn't comfortable enough. So yeah, I'm lost. And comically enough, I'm lost because you do you job very well. 😅
+Kappy “Engi” Kappington This is my struggle. For the life of me I cannot choose between the iPad Air 2 or the Galaxy Tab S2. I love Samsung because of its great features, but the iPad is slightly (not significantly) faster. And to add on to my struggle- the Air 2 now has multitasking which is something that made me lean more towards Samsung. iOS 9 is pretty cool for the iPad. I wouldn't think twice about getting the Galaxy Tab S2 though if it weren't for one issue; the battery life. They've made it way smaller in order to make it lighter (big mistake), and now the iPad Air 2 and even its previous version (the Tab S) have a much better battery life than the S2. I just can't decide if 5-6 hours is actually good enough to get through the day, as you normally would with 9-10 hours of battery on the iPad. *Sigh*
+Yalidys Peña and then, iPad Pro comes along wrecks everything.
Indeed.
Im happy whit my tab 2. But this video made me want to upgrade. That multiwindow looks sweet!
2021 and still working fine for me
@milisa mili dec. of 2016 until now i still use it especially in watching like Netflix
@milisa mili not recommendable for big games like CODm or even ML. storage is to small and specs are outdated
Hey Detroit love ur vids first comment X)
Mike sir great video, deserved a thumbs up!
you are my favorite youtubers!!
I like the video! Great review as always. I like the bronze alot, and yah i agree on my screen it's more grayish than bronze.
This tablet is a beast, useful for people who need real productivity.
