We have no idea what's going on inside Samsung, but for some reason the company seems to think we all want to buy new tablets every three months. That's how often it introduces new models, and frankly, it's becoming very difficult to keep track of all of them.

  • Great Tab!!!
    Devanshu Mehrotra (Jun 1, 2015) on Flipkart
    Have been using it for the last 3-4 months. Great display and performance. Sails after updating to Lollipop. the battery backup could have been better but i guess its not possible with the kind of display it has. have absolutely no problems with it.

    Samsung still has not launched WiFi only model of Galaxy Tab S 8.4 in India, which is SM-T700 model. Here it is wrongly listed as WiFi only model. Both listed model on Flipkart are WiFi LTE model (SM-T705), only difference is in color. SM-T705NTSAINU Titanium Bronze WiFi LTE SM-T705NZWAINU Dazzling White WiFi LTE

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE 16GB
    Vemula Ramakrishna Reddy (Dec 1, 2015) on Flipkart
    I have used this tab for 3 months, but suddenly from few days it started to reboot and screen flickering and some other malfunction. This happened after installing CM security app all of sudden it starts rebooting and flickering. The battery is draining very quickly and after restarts it showing different battery percentages each time. This tab is not even stable after setting factory data setting. Then I googled for this, I came to know that many Samsung tablet devices having this problem, few are because of software bugs nd few are because of the motherboard problem. Customers are spending a big amount to buy this Samsung tabs but no solutions. Unless Samsung clears this type of malfunction, there is no point to buy Samsung tablet products. Pros: 1) Super AMOLED Screen excellent display 2) Battery is reasonable 3) Network Signals are good 4) Heat is less 5) Battery charges is a reasonable time 6) external memory slot Cons: 1)Whenever you inserted a sim card you have to reboot the device 2)Non-removable battery
