Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5: Battery and Early Verdict

The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 comes fitted with a large 7,900mAh battery inside. Samsung claims the Tab S's battery will consume less energy because the Super AMOLED display draws less energy compared to conventional LCD panels.

The Tab S 10.5 is now available for pre-booking, plus you also receive a free book cover accessory. At Rs. 44, 800, the Tab S 10.5 is not cheap from any angle. Surely, it comes with a gorgeous Super AMOLED screen, but the tablet's high retail price may not convince buyers at first place.

With the Samsung Galaxy Tab S series, the company is targeting high-end corporate executives. It would be an uphill challenge in front of Samsung to dethrone Apple from the premium tablet market.
