The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 256GB is Samsung's tablet featuring a 8.4 inches, 204.6 cm2 (~76.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 5420 Octa (28 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4900 mAh battery. At AED 549 in the UAE and ₹11,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 256GB delivers a stunning 8.4-inch 2560x1600 Super AMOLED display with 359 ppi, offering rich contrast and vivid colors, though its 60Hz refresh rate feels dated in 2024. Powered by an octa-core chipset with Cortex-A15 cores, it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly, but lacks stylus support, limiting creative workflows. Its 4900 mAh battery lasts a full day of video streaming, yet the Android 4.4.2 base OS, even after upgrading to Marshmallow, lacks modern app compatibility and security updates. At AED 549 in UAE, it’s value because the screen and storage outperform similarly priced tablets, despite the outdated software. In India at ₹11999, it’s overpriced—competitors offer newer Android versions, better cameras, and cellular options at the same cost. This tablet thrives only as a dedicated media viewer with no need for apps or pen input.
