I have been using this tab since 2014 December. I really love the display and the portability of this device and lately it was lagging and having so many problems with the usability. Back then I was on lollipop and decided it was the time and rooted the device. It was fine for few months then the same happened infcat I accidentally wiped the OS as well. Just recently I flashed the latest available version, Android 6.0.1 and now the tablet runs smoothly! I didn't rooted this time as it has been a month and the tab performs really well for a 5 year old device! I watch/ stream FHD movies, music, play tons of games and use the tab on the go for my academics/ office works. Infacf I am typing this review using the tab and the book cover. Yes still the battery life is terrible and it would give me only few hours max time but it is okay for the age of this device. I am well aware of the flickering of the screen and restarting issue and mine happens when the battery drops below 40% and use heavy apps. Never bothered to replace the battery. For what it's worth, I am happy that I flashed this tab and the way it performs. Of course it's not all bells and whistles but an okay tablet even in today's standards. For others I would like to say not to root the tab if you want productivity. Instead flash the original latest OS.

Anonymous, 22 Dec 2019Really Tab S 8.4 is very good but the main problem i met on... moreYou can use it as a phone using VoIP Apps. I still use my original Tab S purchased in May of 2015 and use/used it as my dedicated mobile cell device up until 2017. Once I found a cheap solution for an Android Dedicated cellphone number & plan that included 365 Days Airtime 1200 Min, 1200 Texts & 1.2GB of Data directly from a certified TracFone dealer off Ebay which cost $50 in 2017 & with TracFone being an MVNO that runs on all four major networks—Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. In my area mine runs off Verizon & gets decent 4G...... Anyway back to subject the way I used my TAB S as a cellphone was through the VoIP App Dingtone. Although it likely depends on the area code they give you a wide selection of numbers to choose from doesn't even have to be your area code. Although you could buy min they had little daily activities even a lottery you could enter to earn free credits/min. Anyways the biggest drawbacks I had when using my Tab S as a Cell was unless you want to talk in speakerphone every where you need to use at the very least the stock white headphones the Tab S came with. Also even though it looks kinda cool it's a very big device to carry everywhere. Anyways I'm sure there's better Apps out there. After not using for a while & App becoming increasingly invasive when it came to Privacy. I finally deleted my numbers & the App. Now I just have Google Voice installed which other than texting actual phone calls I rarely use.

Been using this since 2014 and the only let down is the battery. Good performances for light productivity, gaming is stil tolerable, perfect screen size to browse and read articles - books, and nice resolution for watching videos. Been thinking to switch into the newest Galaxy Tab but the 10 inch screen size always hold me back, and the A series dont have comparable resolution quality with this tablet...

Best tablet ever. Have it since 2014. They don't make them like they used to. Gorgeous screen, I blaster, SD card up to 256GB I do wish the battery lasted longer, I have replaced it, but none oof the replacements were as good as the old original. I ended up putting it back.

Alen, 09 Mar 2019I have this tablet from 2015,4 years and I can tell that is... moreOpen the tablet, take out the battery and put it back again. Secure the position of the battery with some standard electrical tape. Enjoy your working battery, this is usually sufficient ;) Optional: clean the battery contacts with an electrical contact cleaner if you have it.
The above method usually works, but if the battery still has issues, just replace it.

Bought it used 1 1/2 years ago, battery life stinks. I bought a NEW Samsung battery and almost NO difference. Would not recommend, doesn't last 5 hours on a dim screen? Someone mentioned 10 hours easy, must have been AT&T or Samsung.
