The iPad Mini has thumb rejection technology to counteract this, but the Tab S has nothing like it so you'll have to hold it more carefully.

This means there's little space to rest your fingers, so we often unintentionally triggered onscreen controls when we were merely resting our fingers. We saw no difference in either our own photos or in films with dark or gloomy scenes such as The Dark Knight and Alien.Īnnoyingly, the Tab S has thin borders on the left and right hand sides of the screen (when held in portrait orientation) - much like the iPad Mini. Samsung's claims of increased contrast allowing you to see otherwise hidden details in dimly lit videos and photos were baseless though. It's also so bright that it's almost dazzlingly painful at full brightness. It's even sharper than the iPad Mini 2's screen due to its high 2560x1600 pixel resolution, while colours are vivid yet accurate looking. While previous AMOLED screens suffered from fuzzy text and over-saturated, unrealistic looking colours that's not the case here. It's one of the first tablets to use an AMOLED screen and it's stunning. The biggest new feature of the Tab S 8.4 is its screen. The tablet is due out in February, but Samsung has not specified a final date, and has not provided any indication of price.

Charging and data are provided via a Type C USB 3.1 cable. The tablet also features a full-size detachable keyboard and trackpad, along with 10.5 hours of battery life and a 6.3mm chassis.
