I like my Samsung devices and it seems the Tab S 10.5 gets good reviews.

Does anyone have any hands on experiences and notably integration with Samsung phones?

It would be between this and the Sony Experia Z2, which I prefer the design of and it's water resistance - screen doesn't look as good though.

Cheers

Oh, please don't suggest an iPad...

When you say "integration" what do you mean?

Cougar - ha, not that sure really - just anything that they might do/sync together that might be useful.

aracer - I don't like Apple/iTunes

Purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1" from Curry's yesterday, £229 with an extra £20 off using the code IPADTAB20, so £209 all in. Have 3 other SG tabs in the house and all have worked flawlessly so far.We also run 5 samsung phones and once set up they sync, auto backup no problem,HTH. 🙂

Well, theoretically all Android devices should sync back to your Google account. Wifi is Wifi, so tethering should Just Work.

You should be able to setup up to 8 users on anything above 4.2,if I have been advised correctly? Still learning what can be done.

Have the tab s 10.5 and it's lovely. Have also just upgraded from iPhone to note 4 yesterday.
Having never had an android device until 2 months ago I must say I'm very impressed.

Was looking for a 10" tab to replace my aging iPad and I ended up getting the Tesco Hudl2 which is a total bargain. The smaller(8") screen is actually better for sofa surfing. As Cougar says, being android it syncs with all my Google stuff (I have a Samsung S3).

I'd say Tesco Hudl.

Why would an 8" screen be better than a 10" for anything other than portability?

I don't want a Hudl - if that was my price point, I'd be considering lower end Samsungs also.

That's what I also thougt until I had a play on one, makes a lot of sense. Even Google's new tab is only 9". Don't mistake it for just another cheap android tab - it's pretty fast and has a really good screen. It also has pretty much stock android so no Samsung tinkering overlay.

My Mother's Sony Experia tablet is lovely. The screen is great (but never compared it to the Samsung)

Just buy the tab s 10.5, you won't regret it at all. The screen is amazing.

OK, get a 10" then but if you can, get at look at the HUDL2 before dismissing it. If you are totally set on a bigger tab then get the nexus 9.
