During their live “Premier” event at Madison Square Garden in New
York, Samsung has officially unveiled their new line of Galaxy tablets:
the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Samsung Galaxy Tab
S 8.4. As you no doubt already figured out, the numbers designate their
respective display sizes, coming in either 10.5-inch or 8.4-inch
varieties.
Following Samsung’s current Galaxy S5 design language, the tabs
feature a perforated faux leather back and will come in either black or
white colors choices. Before we go any further, here are the easily
digestible specs in bullet list form, straight from the horse’s mouth:
- 2560x1600p Super AMOLED display
- Samsung Exynos 5420 SoC (WiFi model), or Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC (LTE model)
- 3GB RAM
- 16/32GB internal storage with micro SD card expansion slot (up to 128GB)
- 8MP rear and 2.1MP front facing cameras
- 7,900mAh battery
- Samsung’s Magazine UX software
- Fingerprint scanner (supports up to 8 different users)
- 6.6mm thin, 465g (10.5) or 294g (8.4)
Marvel — who will include the Tab S in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron movie — also announced that they’d be giving away a free 3 month subscription to Marvel Unlimited, along with Google Play with their free 90-day trial to Google Play Music All Access and free copy of Gravity for Play Movies & TV.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 WiFi model will be available this July for $500, or $400 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4, with pre-orders beginning June 13th. Samsung also announced accessories like their very own “Book Cover,” and the Logitech Type-S Bluetooth keyboard (pictured above for $99).
