Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T813 9.7in WiFi 32GB

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.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7in

T here are certain things that you're guaranteed to get with the 9.7in Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. The first is quality. It's clear from the moment you pick it up that this is a premium tablet, with no hint of flex and a stylish, understated design. The second is speed.

Leave it to Samsung to ruin one of its best products. The original Tab S had plenty going for it -- except few people bought it. That's one reason Samsung might have chosen to make its new model more iPad-like.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is one of the best Android tablets on the market. It's incredibly thin and light, has useful multitasking features, and excels at media playback. But its high price and average battery life make the 8-inch Tab S2 a better buy, unless you really need that additional 1.7...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is a great Android tablet for multitasking, but you're paying a sizable premium over the smaller Tab S2 8.0. 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. Thanks to its large 9.7-inch screen, it's better suited for multitasking than its 8-inch counterpart, the Tab S2 8.0 ($299.99 at Amazon) . But it slightly trails the smaller tablet in overall performance, and commands a hefty $100 premium for less than two additional inches of screen. Design and Features The Tab S2 9.7 ($469.94 at Amazon)  is just about identical in design to its 8-inch sibling, only larger. It measures 9.34 by 6.65 by 0.22 inches (HWD) and weighs 13.7 ounces, a marked increase over the 7.8-by-5.3-by-0.22-inch, 9.3-ounce Tab S2 8.0. But for a larger tablet, it's even more svelte than the Apple iPad Air 2 ($445.00 at eBay) (9.4 by 6.6 by 0.24 inches and 15 ounces), which is pretty impressive. Like its smaller counterpart, the Tab S2 9.7 fe...

very good screen ,looks great,nice to hold.

ALL IN ALL a good competition for IPAD AIR 2.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 review: A genuine iPad rival

The Tab S2 is impressively slim and light, but at £399 for the 9.7-inch model it's pretty expensive considering the better-built competition.

There is a simple truth here: Not everyone who wants a tablet wants an iPad. I would say most people do but there are plenty who do not like Apple, iOS or following the crowd - or who simply prefer Android and Samsung. For those people, this is the tablet to buy.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 review

When I first wrote about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, my dad remarked of the news story , "So, I heard Samsung is making a new iPad?" This perfectly sums up how average consumers view tablets as a product category.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 review: the closest thing yet to an Android iPad

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 the slate to unseat Apple? Not quite, but in many ways it feels like an Android iPad. It's a joy to use thanks to a thin and light design, a big and bright screen and plenty of power, which are the most important things really.
