Galaxy Tab S Specs

The biggest talking point of the Galaxy Tab S is its display. It's the first Super AMOLED display to appear on a Samsung tablet and it's the first thing that stands out when you pick up the devices.

Samsung's new tablet launches in two models, one in 8.4 inches and another in 10.5 inches. The iPad is also available in sizes quite close the South Korean company's new tablet line at 7.9 inches and 9.7 inches. Dimensions for the 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch Tab S are 8.4 by 4.3 by 0.25 inches and 9.7 by 6.9 by 0.25 inches respectively. The iPad measures 7.87 by 5.3 by 0.29 inches for the smaller variant while the bigger one measures 9.5 by 7.31 by 0.37 inches.

Specs

• OS: Android 4.4 Kikkat
• Dimension: 8.4 inch tab (8.4 by 4.3 by 0.25 inches) 10.5 inch tab (9.7 by 6.9 by 0.25 inches)
