SAMSUNG TAB S2 PRODUCT REVIEW

I have never been a big fan of Samsung tablets till the time I used the Samsung Tab S2. It changed my perception. The Tab S2 is a superb device, both in terms of design and pro -ductivity.

The Samsung Tab S2 is a light-weight tablet with a superb display. The Korean giant has added a 9.7-inch display to a sleek 5.6 mm thin device. Weighing 392 gm, it feels extremely light. The 9.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 2,048x1,536 pixel resolution appears super bright and offers rich colours. There is a home key below the display, accompanied by a back and multitasking key.

The home button has a finger print scanner that works flaw -lessly. There is a metal frame on the sides and speaker grills at the bottom. The rear has a metal finish, which awards it a premium feel. Overall, this is one of the few Samsung devices that has got Wind of Changegreat looks and feel.


Thanks to the light weight, slim built and superb display, the Galaxy Tab S2 comes across as a great enter tainment device. Watching videos and movies is a delight. It smoothly streams videos too. It has got an internal storage of 32 GB with suppor t for expandable memor y, offering enough space of storing content.

The text appears crisp and there isn’t any trouble reading in bright sunlight either. It comes preload-ed with Microsoft Suite, which takes care of the productivit y. The tablet handled heavy graphic games with ease and there wasn’t any lag while switching bet ween the running apps. The tablet is powered by 1.9 GHz Samsung Exynos Octa-core processor 5433 and is paired with 3 GB of RAM.

The Samsung Tab S2 runs on Android Lollipop. The tablet is equipped with an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera. The one on the rear suppor ts auto focus but is not accompanied with a flash. The images clicked by the rear camera were decent. But the 2 MP front facing camera was a bit damper, considering even smar tphones costing  `10,000 are equipped with 5 MP cameras. The 5,870 mAh batter y lasted me over t wo days on heavy usage. If used carefully, it would last much longer.
