Why we think Galaxy Tab S changes the rules for Tablets

After its debut at the Galaxy Premiere 2014 last month, the Galaxy Tab S has been receiving a lot of attention. Especially with its super high-res display, the Galaxy Tab S proved itself as Samsung’s best tablet yet. However, we must say the Galaxy Tab S really differentiates itself from many other tablets and it has plenty of potential to change the rules of tablets. Here is how.

Galaxy Tab S gives New Standards of the Viewing Experience

The Galaxy Tab S was created based on research about what users want the most out of tablets and how they use them. In this research about tablet usage patterns, the first thing that researchers identified was that the main concern was mostly about the viewing experience. People use tablets for watching movies or videos, reading magazines, and browsing the web. So, how does the Galaxy Tab S offer the best viewing experience?

• What else than the Super AMOLED Display?

Undoubtedly, the Super AMOLED display is the right one for representing true colors. Its highest color accuracy (more than 90% Adobe RGB color coverage) and infinite contrast ratio (100,000:1) were proven not only by the public, but also by the experts as well –  DisplayMate, a group of experts on display evaluations, has announced the Galaxy Tab S has the best tablet display it had ever tested, giving an ‘Excellent A’.

If you have children, you might have heard about Kids Mode which was recently introduced with the Galaxy S5. Kids Mode has received considerable responses from parents for its educational apps and Parental Control, but the display shines through in Kids Mode too. The Super AMOLED display particularly provides excellent color representation. Not only does the Super AMOLED highlight its strength, it also is very helpful for kids to learn various colors.

In addition, Samsung’s Adaptive Display technology automatically adjusts the gamma, saturation, and sharpness according to the application activated and usage environments. Whether you’re at home, on the subway, or in the cafe, the Galaxy Tab S adapts to the environment and provides optimized screen conditions. Plus, AMOLED Cinema and AMOLED Photo enhance your video watching and photo viewing experiences respectively, including Basic Mode for those who prefer a similar look and feel of TFT LCD display.

• Therefore, the Contents

Samsung knows that the right display needs quality content, and vice versa – the finest contents deserve a superior display to be rightly viewed on. To find the finest contents for the Galaxy Tab S, product developers in Samsung have categorized the most consumed contents of tablets and movies, comic books, and magazines were singled out. Then they researched high-quality contents providers which were globally known in those three categories.

Accordingly, Samsung’s partnerships with giants in contents industry were formed: Netflix (world’s largest online streaming service offering movies, TV, documentaries and comedies) and Marvel (one of the most prominent comic book publisher well known for Spider-Man, X-Men, Wolverine, and Hulk). Therefore, Galaxy Tab S users can watch a wide range of contents from various content providers.

In addition, Samsung’s new magazine service, Papergarden, offers an interactive digital content with top-brand magazine titles including Vogue, GQ and National Geographic.

What’s special about this point is that videos, comic books, and magazines are slightly re-edited in terms of layout or size, especially for the Galaxy Tab S which has 16 x 10 aspect ratio. Through constant communication and cooperation between product developers and content providers, those using the Galaxy Tab S can have a seamless and optimized content viewing experience.

Not only did Samsung cooperate with the world’s leading content providers, it also localized the contents with Samsung’s Galaxy Gifts package. Through the globally-conducted research, global users can enjoy the most popular and high-quality contents of their countries with special service such as free subscriptions. For example, if you buy the Galaxy Tab S in France, you are given a three-month free subscription of Le Monde through Galaxy Gifts app.

Change the way you think about How to use tablets

According to the tablet usage pattern research conducted by Samsung, another characteristic about tablet users is that most of them use their tablets at home and share with family members. Each family member tends to use the device in his/her spare time. Tablets are, therefore, to be ‘easy’ and ‘safe’ for sharing.

• Multi-Users can conveniently share one tablet

When you use the Galaxy Tab S at home, the Multi User Mode enables different users to log-in separately by using the Fingerprint Reader. Your family can conveniently share one tablet, each with one’s own settings and keep privacy as well.

• Receive a call through a tablet

While using the tablet at home, it happens that you might forget where you put your smartphone and your head goes blank when your phone suddenly rings. While using the Galaxy Tab S, you don’t have to go frantically searching for your smartphone when it rings. If your phone is a Galaxy model, you can just receive a call through the Galaxy Tab S after simply having the two devices synced using the SideSync 3.0 via Wi-Fi Direct. The Galaxy Tab S is the first and the only tablet that features the Call-Forwarding functionality. And it has been receiving favorable reviews especially from the Wi-Fi model users.
