The difference is the eye melting AMOLED screen technology (as opposed to the normal LCD technology used in the cheaper one). My coworker has one and WOW- best tablet screen I’ve ever seen.
I’ve had mine for about 4 months. I got it from Fry’s with a promo code for $299. I looked at both the Tab S and the Pro. The S is thinner and lighter. I believe the Pro is 8.4". The S screen is simply gorgeous. Everything just looks better.
The memory is still only 16GB and while it takes an SD card, Android OS has really done a number on the usability of the SD card. Anyway, not a real complaint given that there are a lot of 16GB tablets out there that don’t have an SD card. I went from a first gen Nexus 7 and while <2 inches isn’t much, I was surprised about what a difference this made.
I have its big brother, the 10.5" version, and it is hands-down the best tablet I’ve ever owned. As mentioned above, the screen is just amazing. I really like the fingerprint scanner and everything pretty much works how it should. Every other Android tab I ever owned had lag – this one does not. It was also very easy to root, so additional customizations can be made if needed.
Rumor has it that this unit is supposed to get Lollipop at some point, but also that a Tab S 2 model is on the horizon. FYI.
Hi there! Sorry for that, I found out what was causing it. It was an issue with this particular sale not getting processed correctly. Every time the sales were checked, it was being treated as a new sale, and triggering alerts. I have fixed it, and the spam should stop. Sorry about that.
