10.5 is priced at 44,800. Both will hit the Indian market in the second week of July.

quadcore + 1.3 Ghz quad core). The devices have the latest Android Kitkat operating system, 8MP
rear camera, 2.1MP front camera, 3GB RAM and 16GB internal memory (expandable up to 128 GB).
Pros:
Samsung’s keyboard is incredibly easy to type on.
Both devices are very S5-esque, but there are a few touches that are just really cool.
Cons: While the Tab S has less bloat than other Samsung devices I’ve used, there’s still a lot going
on.  Can be slightly choppy when things are happening in the background. Like installing apps, syncing
files, or the like.  Single notification shade. I just can’t get used to this.
It’s easy to cover the speakers on the 8.4-inch model. Depending on which way you rotate the
device to enter landscape mode
Conclusion:
The 8.4-inch model and highly recommend it, but if you’re a larger tablet kind of person, the 10.5 is
equally as fantastic.
