Samsung Galaxy Tab S with Exynos 5433 chip for benchmark test

Samsung Galaxy Tab S comes with Super AMOLED panels which is supposed to give high quality of resolution. Many reviews praised this but there are some who thought that the processor can be a little bit faster. Samsung aware of this shortcoming as the company manufactures Galaxy Tab S version with a newer processor. This device is recently spotted in GFXBench database.

All the series in Galaxy Tab S comes with Exynos 5420 chipset. It is capable of providing a decent CPU performance. However, it seems like the chipset is not powerful enough to operate the WQXGA resolution of the Super AMOLED panels that Tab S series used.

From the GFXBench Databases, Galaxy Tab S seems to have using Exynos 5433.  It is the same chip that powers Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Exynos 5433 comes with octa-core CPU that consists of 1.3GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 processor and a 1.9GHz quad-core Cortex-A57 processor.

The detailed benchmark results has not been released yet, however, a battery life rundown test performed on Galaxy Note 4 shows that the Exynos 5433 is  power efficient as it can power Note 4 running on 1440×2560 pixels of resolution. Therefore, since it can power the previously mentioned display resolution, it should be a no problem to power display resolution of 1600×2560 pixels.

The updated Galaxy Tab S variant will launch between mid-October and early November in South Korea. Although there is no news until now, we do hope that the updated tablet will be sold internationally.

Samsung’s latest Galaxy Tab S commercials show how it is superior to Apple’s iPad

We recently saw Samsung release a Galaxy S 5 commercial, calling iPhone users as ‘Wall huggers’. Now Samsung is back with two new commercials for its Galaxy Tab S that compare it with the Apple iPad, though not directly.

The new video commercials of the South Korean company highlight the strengths of Galaxy Tab S in comparison to another tablet. These include high contrast ratio offered by its Super AMOLED display and its multitasking ability.

According to the first commercial, Super AMOLED display of Galaxy Tab S offers 100 times higher contrast compared to many LCD Tabs. Instead of the usual 1,000:1 contrast, the Galaxy Tab S gives 100,000:1 and the Super AMOLED shows all the fine details of the image which many LCD screens cannot do, giving high accuracy and quality even in dark images. You can see the commercial below:

In the second commercial Samsung highlights the multitasking ability of its Galaxy Tab S. Here, the dad wants to watch sports while the baby wants to watch a cartoon film but the tablet they have cannot open both the apps at once. The tablet is then swapped with a Galaxy Tab S which allows displaying of both the apps at once on the screen and both baby and dad are happy.

The other tablet shown in the commercial has not been named but it looks like Apple’s iPad Air that has an LCD display and no facility for multitasking. Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 in June this year. They are the first tablets with Super AMOLED displays.

 The leaked image pointing a rear camera and an LED flash along with what appears to be an IR blaster above the sensor. The two circles at the bottom left and right is a bit of a mystery as to what they represent.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S to have fingerprint sensor & Ultra Power Saving Mode

The firmware of the unreleased Samsung GALAXY Tab S which leaked out a few days ago confirms the existence of the fingerprint sensor and an Ultra Power Saving mode as well. The upcoming tablets which are yet to be announced are rumoured to come in 10.5 inch and 8.4 inch configurations; sporting pixel dense WQXGA (2560×1600 pixel)screens but sadly show no added software customisations for the bigger displays.

The source that peeked into the software revealed that the device does indeed have the fingerprint sensor that is similar to the one found on the GALAXY S5. Moreover it includes the same functionality and features of the GALAXY S5 flagship smartphone as well. Also included in those files was the Ultra Power Saving mode which is again similar to the GALAXY S5. The tablet similar to the smartphone will run the TouchWiz skinned OS in a grey scale mode which supposedly reduces power consumption, delivering better battery life. We have no clue why would someone purchase a WQXGA (2560×1600 pixel) AMOLED display and run it in a black and white mode, but we are sure that Samsung must have put a lot of “research” into it.

We’ll be hearing all about the Super AMOLED tablet duo on June 12, since Samsung is officially introducing them to the world. Both variants are sporting a 2560 x 1600 pixels resolution, an Exynos 5 Octa 5420 chipset with 1.9 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 and 1.3 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPUs.They’re bundled with an 533MHz ARM Mali-T628 and 3GB of RAM, while internal memory is 32GB.
