Samsung Galaxy Tab S
Samsung
has been pouring a lot of effort into making a really decent iPad rival, and
that strategy has seen some hare-brained decisions (such as launching the Tab
Pro in January 2014, and then replacing it a few months later with the Galaxy
Tab S).
But,
apart from annoying anyone that's already bought into the Tab Pro range, this
strategy has finally yielded a brilliant tablet in the shape of this Super
AMOLED-shod Tab S duo. Available in both 8.4- and 10.5-inch screen sizes,
Samsung has taken the best of its OS and technology ability, fused them with
the best display on a tablet and created something pretty special.
The
battery life is great, the screen has to be seen to be believed (and is
excellent for media and internet viewing, which is really the point of a
tablet) and the price is on a par with the rest of the industry. Well done,
Samsung.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet
10
The
Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10’s superslim, unique design makes it easy to hold.The
Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 hardware is actually not bad for its price, and the faux-metal
finish makes it feel even nicer. The glass display and body give it a halfway
decent feel.The Yoga Tablet is running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with a few
modifications.The general style of Android has been changed including fonts,
buttons etc and while the default looks a bit on the childish side, there are a
couple of better themes to choose from.The opposite side of the power button is
the 3.5mm headset jack, and above that is the volume button and a small
microphone.When the device is facing you in landscape orientation, you'll also
notice there are two front-facing speakers. If you purchase the tablet, you
will have already noticed the Dolby logo on the box.In Lenovo's own words, the
Yoga Tablet 10 has "epic battery life" and at a quoted 18 hours, it
sounds like this may be the case. This figure is gained with a pretty varied
usage though, rather than a more traditional video playback test – 12 hours are
spent reading an eBook.It’s also only $300.
But, The tablet’s
low-resolution screen looks fuzzy and oversaturated, and the heavily modified
operating system is downright ugly.
The bottom line:
Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet’s
poor performance makes it hard to justify even the low cost. Specifications
