We reviewed and liked the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 last year and we couldn't let 2015 end without having a look at the Tab S2 models. We reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 recently in the 9.7 inch version and we should start by mentioning that this is the thinnest tablet in the world, at 5.6 mm in...

very comfy for a 9.7 incher; OK battery; but below predecessor; loud; bright screen and excellent colors; no lag; no bloatware; good performance and productivity features

long charging; 4:3 aspect is less than ideal for video; camera below the iPads and predecessor; no NFC or infrared; benchmarks below iPad Air 2 one year later

The highlights of Samsung's new tablet are the restrained, yet sophisticated and very slim construction as well as the new 4:3 Super-AMOLED screen. It can easily keep up with its excellent predecessor and convinces with a great contrast ratio, good outdoor capabilities and brilliant and accurate...

very thin and light; sophisticated build quality; microSD-card slot; AC Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 4.1; fingerprint scanner; precise touchscreen; great display with excellent contrast & colors; video recording in QHD; telephone functions; smooth handling

only average performance; heavy throttling; color changes from flat viewing angles; only Micro-USB 2.0; no NFC; IR transmitter of the predecessor is missing

The 9.7 inch version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is almost unbelievably slim and lightweight, and feels good in the hand, with metal edges and a smooth easy-grip back. With an 8-core processor and 3GB of RAM, it's fast, and runs Android Lollipop without a hitch.

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 made the decision to revise the camera on its latest Galaxy Tab. Although the main sensor still comes in at 8 megapixel, it lacks an LED flash this time around. In return, videos can now be recorded with up to 1440 lines, previously we saw 1080 lines. Elsewhere we've seen some changes.

Sharp and bright display with good color representation and excellent contrast; Expandable memory; Good battery life; High quality workmanship

Camera useful only under optimal conditions; Not the most recent Android version

This feels almost completely obvious but the Tab S2 9.7" is definitely the most compelling tablet that Samsung has released to date, and I think it's a good overall upgrade over the Tab S 10.5".

Samsung surprised us last year with their awesome flagship, the Galaxy Tab S. The Tab S had a lot of things going for it, including an absolutely gorgeous 8.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

I love this tablet. I have been an Ipad fan for years. It was time for a new tablet and I almost bought another Ipad. I'm glad I didn't. The Samsung is super fast and has an incredible screen. There is one downside.

Nice screen, colorful, too many apps, confusing to figure out. If you are looking for a laptop substitute no tablet will do it. It's light and easy to carry when traveling but as a hardcore computer user I find it difficult to do things on the tablet.

Good colors; fairly big screen; easy to hold

annoying ad at top; no music app; confusing

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
