In this article, I told that according to me, the Xperia Z2 tablet was the best tablet of 2014 but out of nowhere, Samsung came out with all guns firing with the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 8.4 Although, I have to say that the screen sizes are a little weird for me. Anyways, in this comparison I will state the differences but mostly the advantages of one tablet over another and then, I will give my conclusion. Let's get started!

• No MicroUSB flap. This also means that the tablet is not waterproof.

Conclusion:

According to me, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is better at all practical things. For e.g: The multi user support, the LED flash, the thinner bezels and the Super AMOLED display whereas, the Xperia Z2 tablet is better looking on paper with the glass back, waterproof rating and MHL 3 support. There is absolutely no doubt that both these tablets are beasts in their own ways and that they couldn't be more different. Personally, I am torn between these two but I think I will give a slight edge to the Xperia Z2 tablet because of it's looks :P
