SAMSUNG Electronics has
announced the availability of its new flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S, in
Nigeria, adding a new, premium device range to its highly popular Galaxy Tab
series. According to the company, the Galaxy Tab S combines an advanced high
definition display technology with a full range of premium content, aimed at
providing consumers with an unrivalled entertainment experience. The device was
unveiled at an elaborate event in Lagos. It is already on sale at all Samsung
Experience Stores, Operator Stores and at accredited dealer stores nationwide.
The Galaxy Tab S is Samsung’s thinnest and lightest
tablet yet. It features a 10.5-inch screen alongside the most advanced
super-AMOLED display on the market, with a resolution that is twice the
high-definition standard associated with other devices in its category. The
Galaxy Tab S is also powered with enhanced productivity features for effortless
multitasking, all elegantly housed in a beautifully crafted premium design.
At the heart of the new tablet range is a
fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button, a feature that made its debut
in the Galaxy Tab S’s smartphone sibling, the Galaxy S5, the objective being to
provide consumers with a safe, biometric screen-locking feature. In addition to
this standard phone-locking function, the scanner lets users authorise payments
from the device with their unique fingerprints. Up to eight people can use the
feature to log into different profiles on the device when it is in multi-user
mode.
Speaking at the unveiling, Managing Director of
Samsung Electronics West Africa, Mr. Brovo Kim, said the Galaxy Tab S will
redefine how technology innovation enhances the quality of life.
“Tablets have evolved significantly in the past few
years in function and purpose. Building on the heritage of the Galaxy S
smartphone line, the Galaxy Tab S delivers on our commitment to bring
meaningful innovation that our customers cherish most. We know consumers want
the best screen when purchasing a tablet, and as the undisputed leader in
display technology, we have brought our industry-leading super-AMOLED screen to
the Galaxy Tab S for an unrivalled viewing experience,” he said.
Kim used the unveiling to underscore Samsung’s
growing share of the global tablet market, which has grown from 7.6 percent to
22.6 percent in just three years. “We have made a major commitment to the
tablet because we strongly believe in its market. We have devoted substantial
resources, not only to hardware excellence, but also to content towards
providing our consumers with a wholesome communication experience. With
innovation at the core of our mission to lead the tablet segment, our launch of
the Galaxy Tab S will further propel us in this growing category and facilitate
ground-breaking success,” he said.
The Galaxy Tab S delivers an unmatched selection of
enhanced productivity features that provide users with the ability to multitask
effortlessly. The device allows its users to surf the web, watch videos, share
content and make calls simultaneously without having to worry about closing one
application in order to access another. Users can also make and receive calls
directly from the device using SideSync, which links the Galaxy Tab S with
devices in Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone series, even when the phone is not
within easy reach. Once paired, the tablet mirrors the phone’s screen in a
smaller virtual window, letting users take calls via its speakers and
microphone. In addition, data can be transferred from the Galaxy Tab S to
another device by simply dragging and dropping files via SideSync. With its
Quick Connect feature, the Galaxy Tab S is able to quickly find and connect to
nearby devices for easy content sharing.
Other key features of the Galaxy Tab S include an
Adaptive Display that provides consumers with the best visual experience by
intelligently adjusting colour saturation and sharpness based on the
application that is being viewed; an advanced outdoor visibility technology
that makes on-screen content easy to view even in bright sunlight; a longer
lasting battery, an Ultra-Power Saving mode that lets consumers enjoy hours of
entertainment without having to worry about recharging their device and a
specially designed ‘Kids’ Mode’ with its own dedicated interface and
kid-friendly applications. According to Samsung, the device’s battery can power
11 hours worth of video at a go, making it a must-have for business travellers
as well as business and enterprise users. The tablet is available in Samsung’s
proprietary Titanium Bronze and Dazzling White colours.
On his part, the Director of Samsung Electronics
West Africa’s Information technology and Mobile Division, Mr. Emmanouil
Revmatas described the Galaxy Tab S as a device that draws the line between the
tablets that are currently available in the market and what comes next.
“The tablet is becoming a popular viewing device
for enjoying content, which makes the quality of display a critical feature.
With the launch of the Galaxy Tab S, Samsung is setting the bar higher for the
entire mobile industry. The device will provide its users with a visual and
entertainment experience that brings colour to life and also enhance their
overall communication experience,” he said.
As it did with the Galaxy S5, Samsung has loaded
the new Galaxy Tab S with over $1,000 worth of free premium content via its
Galaxy Gifts application, offering consumers a collection of services and tools
designed to make their experience more enjoyable and more productive. With the
Galaxy Gifts application, users can access up to 50GB of free Dropbox space
valid for two years; three months access to LinkedIn’s premium business
account; six months subscription to Livesport TV and Hancom Office Suite,
alongside subscription to the Wall Street Journal, Vogue Magazine, GQ Magazine
and much more, all free of charge.
Samsung also unveiled a comprehensive suite of
mobile accessories to maximize the capabilities of its latest tablet. These
include the Book Cover accessory, which can be configured to three different
display angles to provide the most comfortable position to read, type or watch
videos; the Simple Cover accessory for users that are desirous of the same
protective structure of the Book Cover but also require a slimmer design, and a
new, ultra-slim Bluetooth Keyboard, made specifically for the device.
