In every way that matters, this is a great tablet.

The Galaxy Tab S 10.5 ($499, 16GB) pours the S5 equation into the best Android media tablet we've seen so far.

The Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 isn't a tablet that will instill gadget lust the way an iPad Air might, but a good screen and reasonable size make it a solid option.

But it’s a great tablet for the right person.

The Tab Pro 8.4 is among the best Android tablets you can get, but it just can't match the Editors' Choice winning.
