Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE - user opinions and reviews

Owned this tablet since 2015 and it's great for multimedia consumption, but I also experienced significant problems.
Pros:
- Great screen: good old honest RGB AMOLED with higher effective resolution than newer pentile AMOLEDs
- Good quality stereo speakers
- Still on original battery and gets over 7 hours of SOT playing YouTube at 40% brightness. The tablet has not been used heavily but this is still decent.
Cons:
- Had major screen flashing issues, which appears to be resolved after a reset.
- Screen freezes up at minimum brightness. Unlike other devices, long press on power button won't reboot the tablet. I had to drain the battery.
- Awful software. Only got updated to Android 6(Marshmallow). Some app crashes and sudden reboots.
Overall I'd rate the tablet a 6.5/10

Hi
Got this Tab S in 2014 with aux. Keypad, it folds together as hard case cover , great for carrying around. It's a super tab, works great and fast.

I have mine since 2014, and I think it is still the best tablet ever made, optimized for holding it horizontally, every app works the same as any pc or laptop, great battery life... still in 2019, 5 hours using it full time on movies, I hope samsung makes one day a tablet like this one, I hate vertical tablets like huge phones!!

Ok, so I had the Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 way back since 2014. Over the years it has become an incredible tablet, fast and good battery life. It's 2019 now and I've had my tablet excessively slow down and battery life is drastically going down, not even a factory reset does anything. Do I need a battery replacement? Do I need to repair my tablet? I really need to know...

There are 2 versions of this device, LTE and WIFI. Apparently you got a WIFI version.
LTE version has Snapdragon 800 chip and WIFI (Quad core) version has Exynos 5420 chip (Octa core). In performance wise Exynos 5420 chip is somewhat better (I think). Exynos 5420 does not support LTE.
