What is one the best things provided by the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone that Samsung tablets users wanted the most?

Without making many mistakes, we think it is the AMOLED incredible display.

Recent news tell us that Samsung is planning to adjust the AMOLED display featured by the Galaxy S5 and transfer it to the larger Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet, for the joy of all customers watching movies and videos on their tablets.

The best news is, however, that two such AMOLED – powered tablets are going to be among us very soon. According to tech journalists,

Coming in July in 8.4-inch ($399) and 10.5-inch ($499) sizes, both new tablets beat the iPad Air and iPad mini Retina when it comes to contrast, color and resolution. Plus, you can take calls and interact with your Galaxy S phone right from the larger display.

And that is not all. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S is thinner, lighter, better looking and it definitely looks and feels modern and hi – tech. Samsung has been a fierce competitor to Apple. In the past years, it stole the show on more than one occasion with its smartphones and doesn’t fall behind when it comes to the tablet department, either.

Let’s see in short the most interesting specs as they were gathered by the lucky tech reviewers who got their hands on the devices:

The new tablets come in an 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch model, with a Super AMOLED display, 2560 x 1600 (Quad HD) screen resolution, the dimpled plastic texture that is reminiscent of the Galaxy S5, and feature either 1) an Exynos 5 Octa processor (Samsung’s own) or 2) a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor (2.3Ghz). The Galaxy Tab S collection comes in two colors currently (Gold Bronze or White), although it seems that a black with gold trim model may emerge sometime later along with the Galaxy Tab S LTE models.

Did we mention the tablets are 6.6mm thick and they both sport the microSD card able to support an additional memory storage of up to 128GB? While the Samsung Galaxy Tab S upcoming models are quite similar to the company’s latest flagship smartphone, they are definitely superior to both the iPad Air and the iPad Mini Retina, at least in the screen resolution department and slim body.

One more thing about these tablets, we left the best for the last:

These tablets have something that no other tablets do: a fingerprint scanner hidden under the home button. As with the Samsung Galaxy S 5, this is enabled for PayPal, to make online payment that bit simpler (or tempting, depending on your point of view).

As you see, Samsung doesn’t leave any room for mistakes when it comes to delivering new and exciting products. We are sure we will see a lot of reviews and tech analyses in the immediate future, so stay tuned to the news. So far, the Samsung tablets are described as amazing, but who knows what other spectacular details we will get our hands on?

Behold the New Nook Tablets Made By Samsung!

Once upon a time, Barnes and Noble was a titan in the world of books. And then, Amazon happened to it, along with Apple and the global tendency to move away from the printed book to the electronic one.

The company rethought its strategies and spent years investing, developing and delivering not only awesome Nook readers, but a myriad of publications.

The book retailer had no other choice but align its policies to the trends and delivered their own e-readers and tablets which were pretty successful back in the day. Unfortunately, the competition was fierce and B&N started losing ground.

In the past few years, Barnes and Noble and the Nook witnessed a tremendous decrease in popularity and some rumors back in the day suggested that B&N was on the verge of giving up completely to the business. In December this year, things got even more confusing, as the company said they were in course of assessing the future of their tablets, while launching a non – tablet new reader in the same period, during holiday season.

The latest news concerning Barnes and Noble are encouraging for the fans. The company buckled up for an interesting ride, co – partnering with tech giant Samsung in order to deliver new Nook tablets to the world. In comparison with other tech collaborations and partnerships, this time both companies confirmed the facts and even expressed their enjoyment of working together.

Getting strong back – up from a tech behemoth is not a new thing for Barnes and Noble, as it had Microsoft investments so far. Unfortunately, it lost its edge and reported major decline in revenues in the past quarter. Moreover, the company will actually move out from its Palo Alto, California offices to smaller ones in Santa Clara to cut some costs.

From this point of view, Samsung’s salutary intervention looks more than welcomed. The new Nook tablets will be actually Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablets

with easy access to Barnes and Noble’s expansive digital collection of more than three million books, leading magazines and newspapers, as the two companies stated.

This may be a strike of genius from the part of both companies. On one hand, Samsung takes a step forward in its race against Apple and comes up with a new product, while Barnes and Noble tries to keep its market share in the face of a ruthless competition. According to the statements released by both companies, the final product will become available at Barnes & Noble’s 700 U.S. stores in August, but the price is still undisclosed. If you are interested in the new Nook tablets coming from Samsung, stay tuned to the news, as we’re sure we’ll find out more as days go by.

The New Samsung’s Tablet Woes

Samsung is one of the leading developers of smartphones and phablets, and has made numerous attempts at making a profitable and amazing tablet with limited success. This is surprising because of the success they have shown with the smaller devices. Samsung’s flagship, the Galaxy S3, has done very well in the world market as well as the Galaxy Note II phablet, which has cliched Samsung a spot in the leading phablets.

In the last year, Samsung has shipped more hardware than another company, including apple. However, when it comes to tablets, Samsung may not have the designs and materials to compete with the companies currently dominating the market, such as Apple’s already well established iPad.

The first tablet released by Samsung was the Galaxy Tab in 2010. This tablet was inferior to the apple products out at that time and did not get good reviews or do well on the market. Pretty much every tablet Samsung has released since them has had similar problems, and there have been 6 since the release of the Galaxy Tab.

The problems that consumers have with the Samsung tablets are things like the cheap feeling plastic used to cover the device. Wile this material works on smaller devices like smartphones, when applied to a large device such as a tablet, the feeling of plastic makes the consumer feel they do not have a top of the line product. Also, Samsung has a history of developing and advertising features that do not work as they should. The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is the most recent tablet development by Samsung, and it promises a feature that lets users use two apps at the same time. However, the only apps this works with are a few apps developed by Samsung, and the feature is not applicable to the wider app world.
While Samsung has a good marketing strategy for smartphones, their game plan regarding tablets may need a little tweaking.
