Since the development of the tablet computer industry, major mobile phone and computer manufacturers have rarely introduced their own new products to the market. From the perspective of development prospects, small and medium-sized tablets are more popular among consumers because they are thin, light and portable. For consumers, compared to tablets that can only be used for entertainment, everyone prefers mobile phone tablets with built-in 3G or 4G modules. The Samsung t705c brought by the editor today is the Samsung GALAXY Tab S. It is such a tablet that can provide both entertainment and communication. So what kind of surprises will it bring to us? Let us wait and see.
Overall appearance
Samsung has always had a unique style in the appearance of its fuselage, from the Samsung Galaxy series of mobile phones to today's Tablet products. When the previous 8.4-inch Tab PRO was unveiled at the CES show, the leather texture on the back was not retained on this Tab S, but replaced with a dotted anti-slip design.
When you get the Tab S and look at the back of the fuselage, you will find that in addition to the above changes, the two origins on the right side of the fuselage are said to be used for mounting brackets. The rear camera is still 8 million pixels like the Tab PRO, and both have flash, but the position of the upper right corner of the camera has been changed to the center of the upper back of the fuselage, which effectively avoids the problem of shooting occlusion, and the overall appearance of the fuselage is beautiful. Sex and symmetry are not broken either.
Compared with the previous Tab PRO, the body frame of Tab S has not changed much. The holding feeling and overall look and feel are not much different, with some brushed metal feeling and ultra-thin design. The fuselage is undeniably modern.
There is not much novelty in the commonly used interfaces and buttons. They are located just right and have dust-proof plugs. Infrared and data interfaces are all available. Dual speakers are also located on the left and right sides of the fuselage frame, and the single microphone port has noise reduction processing. If I have to comment on the appearance of the Samsung Tab S, then I think it is just right to "continue the classic design with little overall change."
Weight and thickness
If thinness and lightness are the easiest thing to notice when you pick up the industrial design, then when you pick up the Tab S, you will definitely be impressed. Samsung is impressed because it really deserves the titleIt is one of the lightest and thinnest devices among the previous 8-inch Android tablet products.
The 8.4-inch device is not too big to fit in a trouser pocket and may be inconvenient to move around, but with a large screen, these sacrifices are inevitable. Similar to the metal brushed body frame, the all-plastic Tab S is extremely thin and light.
Screen material
Tab S, like the latest Galaxy S5, uses Super AMOLED technology, which combines touch-sensitive panels and AMOLED The display screen is combined into one layer, which not only makes the touch more sensitive, but also improves the display effect. More importantly, it also reduces the thickness of the overall body. In addition, the Tab S, like the Galaxy S5, has ultra-high contrast. Such a high contrast ratio is due to the fact that the pixels of Samsung Super AMOLED have the characteristics of emitting light themselves, unlike Apple's Retina screen which has a passive light-emitting principle of backlight.
Screen effect
The actual picture shows that the Samsung Tab S has bright colors, so there is no need to worry about the viewing angle. In the evaluation of foreign media, the screen of Samsung Tab S can be said to be highly praised, and the score is as good as Surface Pro 3. During our actual trial, the brightness of the Samsung Tab S was not ideal, so the screen display of the Samsung Tab S was not too sharp when used outdoors. However, the superior color saturation made the Samsung Tab S better than the Apple iPad mini 2 when displaying gorgeous pictures. It can also catch your eye.
Shooting level
The rear camera is 8 million pixels and equipped with a flash. Samsung is more generous than Apple's iPad mini 2 in this regard. The three buttons at the bottom of the front are the same as the Tab PRO, with a backlit design and return and multi-task key touch designs with feedback. The central Home button is equipped with fingerprint recognition. You can’t really see much difference to the naked eye. It is still wrapped in a silver frame, but the color scheme of the Home button, which is white with gold trim, looks like the gold iPhone 5S.
Featured functions
First, Samsung added a super power-saving mode to the Tab S that is also available on the Galaxy S5. Simply put, it turns off a series of unnecessary functions, including screen changes. It is black and white, and only the most commonly used electricity is added.Function settings such as phone calls, text messages, browsers, etc., and reduce screen brightness and display settings to save power to the greatest extent.
Even with the screenshot function turned off, the author had to use the camera to take pictures of its interface. Although we did not really test the standby time in power saving mode, the battery condition was above 90%. It is estimated that the longest standby time is 11.6 days, so we estimate that at 10% battery, standby for 1-2 days is not a problem.
Other configurations
Samsung GALAXY Tab S T705C is equipped with a 1.3GHz + 1.9GHz dual quad-core processor, which supports multi-tasking. Page loading and application startup are smooth and easy. Built-in The Android 4.4 operating system brings a sensitive touch experience, making all operations easy. The machine is an exquisite 4G high-speed tablet equipped with fingerprint recognition and a gorgeous 8.4-inch high-resolution screen, bringing a sophisticated visual experience.
Generally speaking, Samsung t705c is a good 4G mobile phone tablet, both in terms of appearance design and screen Size, portability, and all aspects of configuration and performance can meet the needs of consumers. Especially the appearance design, it continues Samsung's consistent style, exquisite and fashionable, but the feel of this tablet is not particularly good. Its appearance material is entirely plastic. If you like the cold metal texture and don't care about the thinness brought by plastic, then the editor definitely does not recommend you choose Samsung t705c.
