My Short Samsung Galaxy 10.5" Tablet Review

I have tried the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone with the 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB RAM. The S5 features a resolution of 1080p and is fast in games. However today, I am reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S 10.5" tablet. It features a 1.9GHz Samsung Exynos processor, paired with 3GB RAM. I really thought the Exynos 1.9GHz with 3GB RAM would be faster than the Snapdragon 801, thanks to the extra RAM it is paired with... but it turns out it wasn't, even scoring a similar score in Geekbench.

What is notable about the tablet, however, is the gorgeous 10.5" amoled 1600p screen. The tablet screen arguably looks as quality as that of a $1000 television. This comes at a price, however. Games run acceptably yet are not always buttery smooth on the 2560x1600 display. Don't buy this tablet for the power or the gaming performance, if you buy it, because an iPad Air or Shield tablet might actually serve you better. Instead buy it for the subtle yet still nutty good screen improvements. I do enjoy this tablet slightly more than the S5 phone for reasons I feel I have mentioned.

I don't think of butter as so smooth so much as greasy, and am confused how a screen can be "nutty good". Like a Snickers bar?
