Samsung launched one of its premium tablets in the lineup of Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and its direct competitor is Apple iPad Air if ignore the operating system installed. Both the tablet has the pretty good dimensions even similar dimensions.

Apple was first to include the finger print sensor and then other manufacturers followed. Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 has the pretty good finger print sensor but it doesn’t work as fast of Apple. In Tab S 10.5, for simple unlocking, you can also use a scanner to protect your data and to authenticate with PayPal. And for safety, when you can’t reset the tablet without authorization, an additional protection against thieves.

The Tab S 10.5 is not available for the cheap, for the money you get a thin and light tablet with a huge high-quality display (and thus relatively compact dimensions) and long battery life. Disadvantages - freezes in TouchWiz.

In fact, iPad Air is the main competitor of Tab S 10.5. On the side of the iPad Air 3 easier to read aspect ratio, excellent design and high-quality aluminum body. Among other things, this tablet has a lot of cool games and applications. Android in this regard so far in catching up (although the situation is gradually changing, for example, have the same Foursquare for Android-tabs, but it is still not for iPad). On the side of the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 it has more convenient screen for viewing videos and longer battery life, and the best size (although the advantage is less than when compared with the iPad Mini Retina and Galaxy Tab S 8.4).

Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF701T is another interesting competitor, this time from Asus. Yes, it left for quite some time, but it still has relevant and competitive characteristics: S-IPS-matrix with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, NVIDIA Tegra 4 and dock with the optional battery pack. Noting but the absence of the drawbacks of the 3G-version and worst dimensions (the tablet is thicker and heavier).

First of all, it is worth noting that the price of Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is slightly inflated, they are even higher than that of Apple, although the latter is very fond of them inflate. In our opinion, the Samsung was excellent large flagship tablet. Of the advantages highlight its wonderful display SuperAMOLED-matrix (the appearance of tablets with such displays of the brand fans have been waiting a long time) and ultra-high resolution. The second advantage of the tablet - small weight and thickness, Tab S 10.5 feels impressively thin and light. And the last advantage is a long time working in the video playback (together with easy to view aspect ratio that makes this one of the best tablet for fans of TV series). Darken the whole picture only high price and freezes in TouchWiz.

So in whole competition of tablets, Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is verdict because of its better characteristics. This was all about the high-end series of tab and Samsung Galaxy Tab 5, which is mid, range tablet series of Samsung, would be recently launching should also be upgraded with the few good features. Let’s wait for the Galaxy Tab 5 release date.
