Samsung GALAXY Tab S
Thursday, September 11, 2014 |
I just got my hands on the latest Samsung GALAXY Tab S (10.5") and I can't begin to tell you what a world of difference it has made to my lifestyle.
Let's start with its appearance. Don't be fooled by its size. It is perhaps the thinnest and lightest tablet that I have ever come across, which means I can take it with me wherever I go. It is especially useful for my overseas beach holidays, where all I want to do is chill, laze around and watch a movie or two on my laptop. Watching movies on tablets isn't usually as enjoyable due to the size of the screen, but with Samsung GALAXY Tab S, it is a different story altogether.
I am in love with the large screen and more importantly, the Super AMOLED display. The slimness of the Samsung GALAXY Tab S is also largely attributed to the Super AMOLED Screen, which unlike an LCD screen, does not require additional filters or diffusers to create images. Super AMOLED is an emissive technology that displays direct, unimpeded colours and details. LCD tablets generally have a 70% colour reproduction rate, but the Super AMOLED's colours match up to 90% of Adobe®
RGB Colour Gamut. This means that whatever you see on screen is true to life. Honestly, it is such a joy to watch movies and view images on my Samsung GALAXY Tab S as everything comes alive right before my eyes. Even my hubby uses it to watch his favourite rockclimbing videos now!

It probably comes as no surprise to my readers that besides entertainment, fashion has always played an important role in my life. I enjoy browsing through fashion magazines to keep abreast of the latest fashion trends but it is a chore to carry several copies of these heavy magazines around.
 |
 |
Now, I can easily subscribe to a wide selection of magazines on my Samsung GALAXY Tab S through the SPH magazine app under GALAXY Gifts. Every user is entitled to 3 free magazine issues at the onset too!
GALAXY Gifts is the app store
equivalent on the Samsung GALAXY Tab S and you'll get to enjoy over
$1000 worth of premium apps and services, absolutely free of charge. GALAXY Gifts is a widget that I
find particularly useful when it comes to enhancing my lifestyle and
improving my quality of life.

Can you tell how vivid the colours are? The softcopy version of the magazine looks just as good as the hardcopy, and thanks to my handy Samsung GALAXY Tab S, I can gain access to a plethora of magazines right at my fingertips.
 |
 |
I wasted no time in downloading the latest issue of my favourite magazine, CLEO. What I like about the SPH magazine app is that you can easily download past issues of your favourite magazines too. That way, I'll never have to worry about missing an issue whenever I head overseas!
 |
I'm sure we all know how heavy and cumbersome hardcopy magazines are. To illustrate my point, the September issue of CLEO which I just downloaded spans a total of 216 pages. Can you imagine having to carry that around with you?
I always carry a couple of magazines with me when I travel and the weight of my handcarry luggage is nothing short of atrocious. With my Samsung GALAXY Tab S, I can now download and read as many magazines as my heart desires without worrying about the extra weight. Yes, my handcarry luggage can finally shed a few pounds!
 |
Moreover, the GALAXY Tab S
delivers excellent true-to-life image quality for your visual enjoyment
with its razor sharp clarity and unrivaled readability. I am truly impressed!

Did you know that some lifestyle and entertainment content are exclusive only to the GALAXY Tab S? The
GigOut! PLUS is one such app that caught my eye. If you are an avid
concertgoer, this is the app that you should download.
My friends and I enjoy attending concerts but keeping track of upcoming concerts and performances is no mean feat, especially when I have to juggle between work, blogging and family. There were many occasions in the past few years when I wanted to catch Jay Chou's concert, but I was often too busy to check out the tickets and by the time I was free, they were all sold out. What a bummer!
GigOut! PLUS allows me to view all the upcoming concerts at a glance and purchase my tickets directly, so I'll never miss another gig by my favourite artiste again!
 |
I can also find out if any of my friends are attending this concert and rally those who are interested in attending to purchase tickets together. Don't you love how technology makes our world smaller and so much more connected?
 |
As a GALAXY Tab S user, I will also stand to enjoy additional perks from GigOut! PLUS. These include:
- Special concert ticket packages and discounts
- Exclusive Meet & Greet opportunities
- Merchandise and F&B promotions
- Giveaways and VIP upgrades
