14 DAY TRIAL // The Samsung Galaxy Tab S duo made its way on the streets not so long ago, bringing along highly hyped features such as AMOLED displays and a finger print-based authentication system.
Samsung has been ardently trying to market these slates and has released video ad after video ad, proclaiming the superiority of these tabs. It even hired Veronica Mars star, Kristen Bell in the hopes of taking your mind off the “retched” Apple iPad.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S are quite worthy, except one thing
Samsung has what to be proud of here, as the tablets (in 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch variants) offer a super-crisp display with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and are powered by an octa-core processor.
All nice and smooth, but naturally we have a caveat on our hands. For some reason, Samsung opted to use the year-old home-grown Exynos 5420 processor, which made an entry last year with the advent of the Galaxy Note 3.
Well, it appears Samsung has realized the errors of its way and is looking to rectify things, at least in its home country, South Korea, reports Sam Mobile.
A variation of the Galaxy Tab S running Samsung’s new Exynos 5433 chipset has been spotted in the Geekbench database, boasting the number SM-T805S.
As recent benchmark results indicate, the Exynos 5433 is quite a powerful little chip. It’s not as great as the NIVDIA Tegra K1, but it’s up there with the big boys. So Samsung’s flagships Galaxy Tab S devices should greatly benefit from this internal revamp.
Samsung might decide to keep the improved Galaxy Tab as an exclusive for South Korea
For the time being, we don’t know what Samsung plans are concerning the new version of the Galaxy Tab S, but it would be quite a pity, if the tech giant decides to offer the revamped version only in South Korea. But we’ll have to wait and see.
Anyway, while we wait on the verdict, you might want to take a few minutes and go through our library of Samsung commercials for the Galaxy Tab S.
The latest, guest starts Jason Silva of National Geographic’s Brain Games, who tells us the superior quality of the AMOLED display will make you “see with your brain” so you won’t fall for sneaky things like optical illusions.
We have also reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 in the past and found it to be quite spectacular display-wise. However, we did notice some annoying lags when trying to load some game titles like Dead Trigger. It took longer than expected to access the game per se and the gameplay wasn’t exactly smooth.
Hopefully, the processor update will eradicate problems like that from your life.
