I appreciated the thin, lightweight, and compact design which makes it very portable. The fingerprint sensor is also easier to use than the previous model. The display, while lower resolution than the last version, still looks sharp with vibrant colors. - PhoneArena |

I liked the premium metal and plastic construction which is thin, lightweight and easy to grip. The microSD card slot for expansion is a welcome addition. My favorite feature is the vibrant 9.7 inch Super AMOLED display, which makes up for the lower 264 PPI resolution. - Slashdot |

Pros: - Fast performance thanks to capable processor and RAM - Useful productivity features like multi-window and enhanced Side Sync - microSD card slot for expansion Cons: - Battery life only averages 5-6 hours - Downward facing speakers should have been front facing stereo - Last year's 10.5 inch model is better value with higher resolution screen and IR blaster |
Samsung recently released an update to their premium Android tablet line – the Galaxy Tab S2.
This slim and lightweight 9.7-inch tablet aims to be an entertainment powerhouse you can easily take anywhere.
Crafted from metal and glass, the Tab S2 packs top visuals into a frame just 5.6mm thin.
Its Super AMOLED screen pops with vibrant hues at a sharp 1536×2048 resolution.
Smooth speed comes care of an Exynos octa-core CPU plus 3GB RAM. Even demanding games play fluidly.
For productivity, the Tab S2 lets you run two apps at once with its multitasking split screen mode.
Quick file transfers come via enhanced Side Sync with PCs.
Business users get the convenience of a handy fingerprint scanner unlock.
The Tab S2 captures decent photos and video with its 8MP/2.1MP camera combo.
Audio from the single speaker disappoints but Samsung makes up for it with 109 hours of music playback time.
Reviewers at top tech sites like the premium build and portability the slim Galaxy Tab S2 offers.
One downside noted across the board, however, is battery life. Moderate use yields just 5-6 hours per charge.
Still, for those wanting a top-notch entertainment tablet to take anywhere, the Tab S2 brings gorgeous visuals, smooth performance, and Samsung's best tablet software suite to date.
The starting price feels steep, but discounts on last year's Tab S make it a much sweeter deal.
For purity of purpose and portability, the S2 still shines as a premium Android tablet pick.
