The new Samsung Tab S2 features the android 5.0 Lollipop and packs an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel snapper in the front.
Samsung’s latest tablet is super-thin, incredibly fast, and one of the best-looking tablets around, while Samsung’s software layer allows for multi-tasking and pop-up windows to make switching between apps easier.
No matter which of the two sizes one decides on, the first thing one will notice when they pick up the Tab S2 is how slim it is. Both devices are just 5.6mm thick. The Tabs are even thinner than the iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 and the unnervingly thin Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet.
The Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 dimensions are 169×237.3×5.6mm and it weighs 389g for the Wi-Fi model. However, the LTE variant, which is 392g, isn't much heavier. The new Galaxy Tab S2 8 measures out to be 134.8×198.6×5.6mm with 265g (Wi-Fi) and 272g (LTE) on the scale.
From observing the specification, it is easy to say that the sacrifices that had to be made by the developers and designers are battery capacity, which is 5,870mAh (down from 7,900 mAh) on the 9.7-inch tablet and 4,000mAh (down from 4,900 mAh) on the 8-inch version.
Under the hood, one ought to find an octa-core processor (four 1.9GHz cores and four 1.3GHz cores) paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB or 64GB of on-board storage, depending on the variant you choose. There’s also a micro SD slot for an additional 128GB of space. Both versions of the Tab S2 are using the outdated Android version 5.0.1, sensitive with Samsung’s dire Touch Wiz UI, however, they are both efficient and powerful.
The Tab S2 camera retains the same resolution as before, however the rear camera has been improved. It includes the same low f/1.9 aperture which is found in the S6 and S6 Edge.
