Hi, Habr!

The blog Samsung has already slipped news that sale soon appear flagship tablet Galaxy Tab S series with screen Super AMOLED. June 27, the plates will be available in the US, and on July 11 will come to Russia.

I turned it around a bit in their hands and ready to say a couple of gentle.

Design h4> The tablet looks stylish as all the gadgets from Samsung - this Korean company did not take away. Keep gadget handy, stylish rear panel does not slide. The body is made of soft-touch plastic. The tablet is light enough to hold with one hand.

The older model version with LTE weighs 467 grams and its thickness - 6.6 mm, making this tablet one of the slimmest on the market in its class.

Diagonal tablet is not quite standard: it is 10, 5 inches. After my Lenovo c 11, 6 inches it seems small, but it's a habit I have to a particular gadget.

On the rear - camera and flash. At the ends are located microUSB, volume rocker button, the screen turns off, closed ports for sim-card and microSD.

Hardware h4> All plates rulers are on board as many as eight cores. The plates are constructed based on the processor Exynos 5 Octa (4 core 1 GHz 9 + 4 cores 1 and 3 GHz) and have 3 GB of RAM. Responsible for the graphics processor Mali-T628 MP6. Some sites were quick to write that in LTE-version will stand Snapdragon 800, but this is not so.

The plates are fitted with two options capacity flash drives 16 and 32 gigabytes, but Russia will be on sale yet only 16 GB. In addition, Galaxy Tab S supports microSD cards with a capacity of up to 128 gigabytes.

Specifications versus h4> compare the characteristics of the older model with the flagship of Sony and iPad Air. Maybe compare it with Apple is not quite correct, but still leave.

Of course, it seems only for race figures, but the image quality, however, really excellent. The aspect ratio is 16:10. In fact, the main advantage of this display - it's not a solution. Tab S - this is the first large-format tablet with a screen Super AMOLED (three years ago, Samsung was already AMOLED-tablet Galaxy Tab 7.7, but small and relatively expensive). Using the Super AMOLED technology provides several advantages. Firstly, a large color gamut - the colors noticeably cleaner and richer than the average LCD screen. Samsung promises gamut 94% AdobeRGB, typical LCD plates normally have coverage is somewhat smaller than the sRGB - about 70% AdobeRGB (although some models on the LCD and are selected outside sRGB, but just one). Plus, at a very high contrast AMOLED, so that black is really black, good economy (unlike LCD, no backlight is constantly consuming full power, that would not happen on the screen), less glare - image is best seen in bright light even in the sun. Finally, AMOLED-screen LCD is thinner, so that 6, 6 mm housing Tab S turned to place the battery fairly large capacity (a third more than the Sony Tablet Z2, which has a thickness of 6, 5 mm, but made on a conventional LCD -screens). There are, of course, the problem with the fact that almost all the pictures and movies are now produced for normal screens, so that AMOLED colors may look more saturated than they should be. But in the settings screen has several sections, one of which reduces to the usual gamut sRGB. Autonomy h4> Battery capacity - 4900 (8, 4 inches) or 7900 mA • h (10, 5 inches). This will work for zavereneiyam manufacturer for 11 hours. In addition, there is a function "extreme power saving" - she puts the screen in black and white mode and disables all nonessential services and functions. The meaning of a black and white picture is that black background on AMOLED consumes virtually no power, so that the remains of the charge will give a few hours of real use, rather than just lying on a table. The function is activated manually, even on a fully charged battery, so if you leave, for example, in a campaign where the sockets will not be - it can be inserted immediately. Performance h4> The tablet has a high speed and a complete lack of brakes. Performance Benchmark worthy.
