Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - Camera and Video recording

The Tab S 10.5 comes with a demanding 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with an LED Flash, plus a nice 2-megapixel front-facing shooter for recording videos. Of course we tried to take some pictures inside the premises.

The tablet's rear-facing camera manages to click noise free photographs, which wasn't expected from a tablet device. The UI of the camera was fast enough and found to be satisfactory.

However, the same cannot be said about the video recording capability of the tablet. No doubt, you can record decent quality videos, but it is maxed up to 1080p, instead of 4K resolution (UHD).
