Design, materials
The design of Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is completely analogous to registration younger 8,4- inch model with the exception of the features associated with the difference in size of the two devices. The tablet is available in the same “dazzling white” (Dazzling White) and “titanium-bronze” (Titanium Bronze) versions of color choices. In this case, the basic color is made and the back cover and bezel of the display, although in many cases, manufacturers prefer to vary only the color of the back, leaving the front classic black. By the way, in order to visually separate two of the same color panel, the designers used the silver plastic trim perimeter of the body.
The first that catches your eye while exploring the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 – unusual for Android-based models of the proportion of the body, which tend rather to a square than a rectangle. No, the South Korean developers did not use the matrix with an aspect ratio of 4: 3, but they did edging along the short sides of the screen as thin as possible. This solution will be to cheer those who do not like too “stretched” in the portrait orientation of the body typical Android-plates. As a result, the size of the tablet are 247,3 × 177,3 × 6,6 mm, weight – 465 grams, or just 2 grams more in LTE-configuration.
For the record, Apple iPad Air dimensions are 240 × 169,5 × 7,5 mm, weight – 469 grams or 478, depending on the availability of 4G-modem. A direct comparison shows that the proportion of the hero is really similar to the review of apple tablet with an aspect ratio of 4: 3, since both the length and width of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 by about 7 mm more than the iPad. But the thickness and weight of this pair of plates are almost identical, the difference in the 0.9 millimeter and gram unit can be felt only with a ruler and scale. The competition size could announce a tie (Apple are smaller but thicker), if not for the fact that Samsung has managed to put in an identical body size larger screen (10.5 inches vs. 9.7 inches).
The front panel of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is covered by a protective glass Gorilla Glass. As we have said, width of the line along the short sides is minimal and is only 8 mm. Therefore, when you hold the tablet in landscape position you will have to choose more carefully the position of hands in order to avoid false taps on the screen.
Side face of the body decorated with silver trim, which at first glance looks like a metal. In fact, this is the usual plastic, painted under the metal. Similarly, in the same color and border made key Home. Note that in the light version of the tablet is used golden color, while the dark brown panels more suitable silver.
The rear panel of the tablet is made of plastic with a firm texture point, the nature of which is suggestive of a band-aid. The material turned out really high-quality and attractive. Its surface feels more like a soft smooth skin than a typical plastic. Matrix point depressions well discernible to the touch, bringing a pleasant variety to the tactile experience of using the tablet. Well, in addition plastic rear panel changes color with the angle of view that looks at least pretty.
As you can see, in the decoration of Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is used exclusively plastic, whereas its main competitor Apple iPad Air boasts “cast” aluminum base housing. Given the smaller size, the proportion of apple tablet is higher, but it is quite possible to be forgiven for really premium brushed aluminum. And no matter how good softtach perforated plastic from Samsung, the metal has to give way.
Controls, connectors
At the top of the edging Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, you can find the manufacturer’s logo, the front 2.1 megapixel camera and a light sensor on the bottom – the control unit. Traditionally for smartphones and tablets from Samsung uses three-button control unit of the hardware Home key and two soft keys and Recent Back. Touch buttons are equipped with adjustable lighting, and hardware integrated fingerprint reader.
In the upper part of the back plate, you can find a neat metallic logo Samsung and lens the main camera of 8 MP with a separate flash. In the lower corners are two original “psevdoknopki” for fixing branded accessories. The manufacturer offers cover Galaxy Tab S Simple Cover and Galaxy Tab S Book Cover, which snap into the two holes. The first cover covers only the screen, while the second protects all of the case and can be transformed into a stand with three different angles of the screen. Note that both covers are able to automatically turn on and off screen tablet with built-in magnets.
In the left corner of the upper bound of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 placed the power button and volume control, but the infrared port is located at the center. On the bottom you can only find in digital microphone, no more elements here. The left side is the tablet contains a combined audio port and one of the two speakers, the right – the second speaker, MicroSD card slot and micro-USB. Note that the case has been so thin that the developers had to provide a small bulge in the output port.
From the point of of equipment ports uniquely wins Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, since it uses a generic and common connector micro-USB, and not proprietary Lightning and most importantly – can boast the presence of the memory card slot MicroSD. Also note the presence of IrDA sensor, which can replace the remote control, allowing you to easily and quickly change the channel or mute the sound on the TV. The arrangement of the elements of both models rather thought-out and no special claims caused. The only parameter where the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is clearly forging ahead – Audio arrangement. In terms of acoustics and ease of use a pair of speakers on the opposite faces of the body much better solution than the speakers on the same faces at the Apple iPad Air.
The controls are almost identical – and in the first and in the second case can be unlocked from the front screen panel via the hardware buttons. The presence of two additional touch buttons at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 due to the requirements of the sandbox Android. Note that the Apple iPad Air has an additional hardware slider switch that allows you to quickly lock the position sensor or turn off the sound. In yuzhnokreyskom tablet these operations can be done only through the interface.
Display Super AMOLED
Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is equipped with a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels that corresponds to the density of pixels in the 287 PPI. Plus the lack of set-top boxes in the name of the matrix indicates that the sub-pixels arranged in a familiar AMOLED-circuit matrix PenTile, but the size of a single point in the screen is so small that seeing unpleasant features of this technology is almost impossible. The viewing angles of the screen Super AMOLED are a very good level, the artifacts in the form of green shade on a white background can be seen only at an acute angle view.
