The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 256GB is Samsung's tablet featuring a 10.5 inches, 319.7 cm2 (~72.9% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 5420 Octa (28 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7900 mAh battery. At AED 599 in the UAE and ₹12,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 256GB dazzles with its 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display at 2560x1600 resolution, delivering vivid colors and deep blacks unmatched at this price. Though it lacks a high refresh rate, the panel’s clarity and brightness make it a standout for reading, video, and sketching with the S Pen, which is included. Powered by the aging Exynos 5420 and Android 4.4.2 (upgradable to 6.0.1), performance is sluggish for multitasking or modern apps. The 7900 mAh battery lasts long but the 465g weight feels bulky for extended handheld use. No cellular support limits mobility. In UAE at AED 599, it’s worth it because the screen and S Pen offer premium media and creative utility at a fraction of newer tablets’ cost. In India at ₹12999, it’s overpriced—same hardware sells cheaper elsewhere, and software obsolescence makes it a risky buy for long-term use.
