Galaxy Tab
The Complete Manual
Samsung’s line of Tab devices has revolutionised
what we expect from a tablet. Stylish design
and first-class functionality have seen the
Galaxy range of Tabs sell in huge numbers, and
the brand’s evolution has resulted in the new
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and 10.5 in 2014, raising
the bar for tablets to come with super-crisp
AMOLED screens and an improved battery life. In
this complete manual, we will take you through
everything you need to know about your Tab,
from setting up to guides on all the essential apps
that come pre-loaded with it.
