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.

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

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.

No, the Galaxy Tablet S2 is not perfect. But it is exactly what you'd expect: a classy, state-of-the-art device that delivers all the features it should. The micro-SD expandability is a must-have - I can't believe people will pay close to $1,000 for devices that don't allow expandable storage.

Light AMOLED Tablet, the Samsung Galaxy S2 Tablet Pros:-The high-performing Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet boasts of being a light and slim AMOLED tablet that is compact, stylish, and feature-rich alike.

ALL IN ALL a good competition for IPAD AIR 2.

light weight ,great colours,good speed

plastic back,sound should be a bit louder

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

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.

Good screen; Thin and light; Strong performance

Average battery; Erratic fingerprint scanner; Plain design

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.

First of all, let me say this; I bought this tablet to lighten my load on a trip overseas. I also wanted something more than just my phone for access to social media. This thing rocks. Beautiful display, sturdier storage for micro-SD card. No longer limited to 2.4 GHz wireless.(this is dual band).
