I've had this device since July 2016, and it's incredible. I also own a really powerful laptop, but there are some things this tablet does that it just can't. It has the advanced mobility, offline capability and long battery life that the laptop doesn't have.

Bright display; Lightweight; Durable

Great tablet. Slimmer and faster, with a brilliant screen and serious stamina. Recommend this tablet over overrated iPad

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Review: We review the 9.7-inch model of Samsung's 2015 business and entertainment tablet, another powerful-yet-portable device packing some smart, unintrusive features. But is it a case of deja vu?

Incredibly thin; Powerful hardware; Screen well suited to productivity; Long battery life

Samsung has a stronghold over the smartphone space, but its grip on the tablet market isn't as tight. That market belongs to Apple, and making a tablet as good as the iPad is not enough for customers to be lured across to Samsung - the Tab S2 has to be better.

9.7-inch Super-AMOLED display; Thin and light form factor; Octa-core CPU; Refined finger scanner; Proficient 8-megapixel rear camera; Aluminium chassis

Lacking distinctive character; Build not as premium as Apple's iPad; Fewer hardware features; but still priced to compete against Apple's iPad

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 ($499.99, 32GB) is one of the nicest Android tablets we've seen, with a gorgeous Super AMOLED display, a more refined body than its predecessor, and a powerful processor for excellent performance.

Great multitasking features; Premium build; Good camera

Pricey; Lots of bloatware; Average battery life in testing

You've seen Samsung's 2015 phones, and now it's time to see what the company can do to make its tablets on par with these bad boys. Is Samsung's Galaxy Tab S2 the best tablet around?

Very well built; Slim; comfortable and easy to hold; One of the brightest screens on any tablet available found today; Surprisingly fast screen response when typing; Just like in the 2015 phones; Android is fairly stripped back; making it more efficient; Performs quite well; LTE model works as a...

Samsung has ditched the camera flash..; for some reason or another, No infrared port, On-screen keyboard needs a bit of work, Has virtually no individuality or unique identity: it looks like Samsung's interpretation of an iPad
