According to recent reports, the Galaxy Tab S LTE-A variant will be released in Korea first. The device is said to have the model number SM-T805S and its processor is an octa-core Exynos 5433 CPU.

The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Galaxy Tab S 8.4 versions have an octa-core Exynos 5420 SoC. The Galaxy Tab S 16 GB LTE model is priced at A$699.95 while the 16 GB WiFi variant costs A$549.95.

The Galaxy Tab S design is similar to the Galaxy S5 handset with the same perforated, soft back panel. It is an upgrade from the plastic glossy design of previous Tab series tablets.

The Tab S introduced the Super Amoled display technology and reviews have been excellent. The WOXGA 2560 x 1600 pixels Super Amoled display can deliver over 90 percent of Adobe RGB color array and the contrast ratio is at 100,000:1, which translates to an impressive viewing experience for the user.

Other key specs include the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with TouchWiz UI, its 16 GB and 32 GB in-built storage with microSD card support for expansion of up to 128 GB.

The Tab S also sports an 8 megapixel rear snapper and a 2.1 megapixel front camera. It's powered by a 4900 mAh battery and comes with fingerprint sensor technology.
