Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Tab S 8.4 Unboxing

2014-06-24
what's up everyone from John render from TechnoBuffalo here and very few things make me as happy as unboxing so much new technology I've got the latest from samsung I've got the Samsung Galaxy Tab s 10.5 I got its little brother but same SPECT 8.4 version mono let's go ahead open these things up and see if they look like it supposedly they are very slim super-powerful right so here are the Galaxy Tab s don't call them the Samsung Galaxy Tab even though I'd ethically have two of them this is the all-new Tab s took a lot of cues from the galaxy s5 so both of these have almost exactly the same specs but different screen sizes and they pack quite a big punch the 10.5 in addition to the 8.4 of crazy resolution here 2560 by 1600 both of these are octa-core to do that by using two quad-core processors a 1.9 in a 1.3 they have the fingerprint scanner was built into the galaxy s5 eight megapixel autofocus camera on the back and 2.1 on the front so let's pick we do choose-your-own-adventure which one should we unbox first over here for this one over here now we're gonna pick one let's do this smaller 8.4 first this is the size I really like in in tablets I can go ahead and pull this up from the back thank you to the folks at Samsung for sending these our way and that is it this thing is crazy thin I will do the size comparison here in a minute so you can sort of appreciate the design that went into it looks well it definitely looks galaxy s5s pushed it out this I have a quick second see else you're going to have in the box not much else power cables book push all that stuff off to the side this is really nice looking device so go ahead will unbox it's a big brother and little power of both of those suckers on we could have just a multi tablet experience so let's bring in the 10.5 here don't do the same thing it's like open it from the back there we go pull this out of the box and just as thin and just as galaxy s5 ish see there's somehow something new and fancy in the box that we didn't same same stuff don't expect like candy in here cuz that that is not gonna happen so push all that stuff up to the side here our both of the tablets I'm gonna go ahead and power these on and we'll take quick look at the OS all right so we've got the big Galaxy Tab s 2 10.5 all powered up and it's hard to show on camera what a screen will actually looks like on a device this one looks awesome as you'd expect from a resolution of 2560 by 1600 considering regular HD is 1920 by 1080 this is super-high resolution here you're gonna get a lot of things in the Box I'm not officially in the box but they're gonna come on the tablet which lives in the box so you're gonna get access to three free months of Marvel unlimited so download all the comics you want a year free Google Wireless six months free Wall Street Journal 23 months free New York Times not kinds of other free stuff in here looking at the main story here is how Fitness device is it is really really thin 0.25 6 inches it's just absolutely tiny when you look at it you're probably saying yourself hey Jon how'd they do that well it's an AMOLED display which means they have no backlight so it can make it thinner AMOLED also means it can use less battery so it can also be smaller the battery on this guy there the big one 7900 on its little kid brother it's a 4900 milliamp hour battery so pick which one is going to be best for you take quick look here we've got the Samsung experience stuff we expect the multitasking stuff is there if you swipe in from the right-hand side we've got go ahead and jump into all of your files and you kind of very quickly here if you like that little folder on the icon the left looks like all of your apps gonna come built in here there's some kind of cool stuff that's gonna here happen here so side sync is going to work with the galaxy s5 line of devices so that's that's five in the s5 active if you get a phone call or text message and you have a Galaxy s5 you can reply and they'll show up here right the device if you have another Samsung device you still get sort of functionality but not survive I think is the coolest reply and answer phone calls right from your tablet so anyway bear that in mind so else we're gonna have here you got Evernote built-in Flipboard built-in there's your business week stuff Chrome Netflix rest of stuff you kind of expect probably download right away not so much in the way of bloatware cuz this one's not on a carrier which is always kind of nice jump into settings real fast go down to the bottom go to about device see what we're going to have Android 4.4.2 right out of the box and again just really really thin but I think of thin tablets your mind might immediately go to something like the iPad air let me show you guys just how thin these two are when next to each other and it is really really incredible so go ahead and just do a tablet sandwich here and you can see the thinness of the Samsung it's really I mean incredible to see just how thin this device really is a super tour of all the buttons and such that are going to live around it so you've got your multitasking button right there go ahead and okay I hear anything you've got open you've got your main home button your back button both of those flaking in our capacitive on the left-hand side speaker grille i'm 3.5 millimeter headset jack on the top power lock IR port and on the right that's where you're going to charge your microSD card slot and also another speaker on the back you might notice something a little bit weird addition to 8 megapixel camera you've got these two little holes and those two holes might be more pronounced here I'm small over and you can see it now on either side that's going to be for the coverage they're gonna offer two covers for this either a book cover or a simple cover let's go ahead and show you the book cover here first and it's called a book cover because well you can guess covers it like a book the idea here is that it's not going to connect to the device by wrapping around the screen they want to keep that thin profile so it's gonna connect by using these little ports that plug in so let's go ahead and drop it and see how easy it is put it into the book oh it's kind of easy to see how that goes come here there we go stamps right in closes right up and you're off to the races with it so very very thin and keeps that profile you also get what they're calling the simple cover which is just really a screen protector cover go ahead take a look at that guy all will be available in a variety of colors as well so pull that off this guy over here and see how it connects so again those two little holes is sort of new Samsung's new a connection standard here video play in the background line them up push it in and you are I'll connect at least in theory you really got it pushing hard and got a video plan there hey you see the screen looks like beautiful alright so get the simple cover install then it just covers the front and you can see what it does on the back creates a little bit of an uneven surface not much though and keeps again that really slim profile looks like Samsung's got another very solid tablet offering here but of course we will put it through its paces and review the big guy and a little guy and see which one's or if any we recommend any
