Are there issues with accidental presses of the capacitive buttons on the bezel? Yes, and they sometimes drives me nuts, but the benefits of the rest of the package outweigh this by far. The better screen, expandable memory and fingerprint reader push it over the top. With all of that said, if I owned neither tablet and had £399 to spend, I would choose the Samsung Galaxy Tab S. I am not knocking Apple's tablet, I do love it. Please don't misconstrue - sometimes we all want a mindless and easy to use experience. If you covet a mindless and easy to use device, the iPad Air is probably the way to go. Of course, people entrenched in an Apple lifestyle should probably stay there. For the money, absolutely - you are getting much more value. Is it better than the iPad Air? Tough call.

If you want to play Android games on a 10in tablet form factor, this is the tablet to buy. If you want to consume media, this is the tablet to buy.

It is fast and fluid, full of features and of course, has the best screen of any tablet. There is no mystery, or advertising brainwashing. Samsung is the leading Android manufacturer for good reason - it makes quality devices that people like. This means the fingerprint reader and the button should be separated on tablets. I would prefer it to be located on the top right of the face, so I can easily slide my finger. However, I find it a bit awkward to use on a 10in tablet, when located on the middle of the bottom-horizontal bezel.
I am happy to say that it is equally accurate on the Tab S. My favourite aspect of the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the fingerprint reader. On average, I would say it achieved about 10 hours of use between recharges, which for my usage, meant it would be charged about every three days. While I did have to charge it more often than the iPad with equal usage, it still outperformed any other Android tablet I have used. The iPad Air is a class-leader in battery life, but the Tab S is no slouch. When connecting to my Apple Airport Extreme, the 5GHz band was visible, it connected quickly and was super-fast. The wireless chip in the Tab S is top-notch though, offering 802.11ac. If it does leave the house, I simply tether using my phone. This is fine, as I mostly use tablets in my home. You can see what I am talking about in the above photo.įor Internet activity, it is a Wi-Fi-only affair. Could this just be a learning curve? Sure, maybe I can train myself not to hit those buttons, but that should not be necessary. Very often, when I relax and get comfortable, my thumb wanders to those buttons and ruins it all. It ruins the experience when doing something like reading, as you want to be immersed in the story.
When holding the Tab S vertically, my thumb is constantly hitting these touch-sensitive buttons.
