Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 WiFi (SM-T800) is a premium tablet featuring a stunning 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and a high pixel density of 288 ppi. Under the hood, the WiFi model is powered by the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 processor (comprising 1.9GHz and 1.3GHz quad-core chips) paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 128GB via a microSD slot. Its main characteristics include an exceptionally thin 6.6mm profile, a lightweight 465g build, a fingerprint scanner for security, and an 8MP rear camera with LED flash. Key pros include the vibrant, high-contrast screen that covers 90% of the Adobe RGB colour gamut, long-lasting 7900mAh battery life, and efficient multitasking with the Multi Window feature; however, cons include a relatively slow charging time and integrated stereo speakers that some reviewers describe as having a tinny sound at high volumes.
