NEW YORK, June 12, 2014 (Korea Bizwire)–Samsung Electronics America today introduced the first tablets in its  new flagship Galaxy Tab S line. In both 8.4- and 10.5-inch versions, the  Galaxy Tab S offers the ultimate viewing experience with the world’s  first high-resolution Super AMOLED display. Galaxy Tab S combines  Samsung’s thinnest and lightest tablet design with the most advanced  WQXGA Super AMOLED display to launch Samsung’s most premium line of  tablets ever. 

The Wi-Fi versions of the Tab S 8.4 will be available for $399.99, while  the Tab S 10.5 will be $499.99. Pre-orders for Wi-Fi devices begin June  13 at 12:01 a.m. ET at Samsung.com. The Tab S will be available for  purchase in July at Samsung.com, Amazon, Best Buy, Fry’s, Office Depot,  Office Max, PC Richard & Son, Sears, Tiger Direct and Walmart.com. Later  this year, the Galaxy Tab S will come to AT&T with LTE, Sprint (10.5)  with Sprint Spark™, T-Mobile (10.5) with LTE and Verizon Wireless (8.4  and 10.5) with LTE. 

“Building on the heritage of the Galaxy S smartphone line, the Galaxy  Tab S line delivers on our commitment to bring meaningful innovation  that our customers care most about,” said Gregory Lee, president and CEO  of Samsung Telecommunications America and Samsung Electronics North  America Headquarters. “We know consumers want the best screen when  purchasing a tablet, and as an undisputed leader in display technology,  we’ve brought our industry-leading Super AMOLED screen to the Tab S for  an unrivaled viewing experience in both connected and Wi-Fi options.” 

The Galaxy Tab S Makes Viewing Better 

Display is a key purchase driver for tablets, and the Galaxy Tab S was  designed with screen quality and style in mind, to bring users the most  immersive viewing experience. The Tab S delivers an unprecedented  viewing experience with a WQXGA Super AMOLED display offering a wider  color range, deeper contrast, truer blacks and our own adaptive display  technology to provide an improved viewing experience in any environment.  The Galaxy Tab S is one of the select few Android devices in the U.S. to  offer Netflix HD content viewing. 

Samsung’s lightest, thinnest tablet is even easier to take with you  wherever you go. With both tablets measuring just 6.6mm thin and Tab S  8.4 weighing less than one pound, the Galaxy Tab S was designed for  portability and provides a more comfortable experience over long periods  of usage. 

Meaningful Groundbreaking Features 

The Galaxy Tab S offers customizable settings and privacy features for  sharing with family members of all ages. Kids Mode offers easy access to  kid-friendly content, and gives parents the ability to control the  content that kids access, as well as length of play. The Galaxy Tab S  features a built-in fingerprint sensor, making multi-user access easy  and secure. In Multi-User Mode, the fingerprint scanner allows for  access to individual, customized user profiles. 

Galaxy Tab S also offers more apps compatible with Multi Window,  allowing users to open up to two windows at once. The latest version of  SideSync allows you to make and receive calls from your tablet via the  connection to your phone, as well as drag and drop files from your phone  to your Galaxy Tab S. 

Packed with Premium Content 

The Galaxy Tab S includes premium content and services that are part of  the integrated Galaxy ecosystem, which makes sharing, watching,  collaborating, and working on multiple devices more seamless than ever.  With WatchON™ users can access the program guide directly from the Tab  S, or use Tab S as a remote control. The service provides Video on  Demand so users can find their favorite movies and TV shows with ease.  The Galaxy Tab S is the first tablet compatible with Milk Music™ powered  by Slacker, a free and ad-free radio service, offering an effortless and  entertaining way to enjoy the music you love and discover unexpected  music. Milk is designed with an elegant, easy-to-use interface and more  than 200 stations that offer a fully customizable experience to your  personal taste.
