We tested the Samsung S2 Galaxy Tab: the best Android tablet – Hypertext

Last year, Samsung sought to unify its myriad tablets under the Galaxy Tab S range to coat the Galaxy S5 of the time. – The appearance was that of extended S5 own

Will you continue keeping the Galaxy Tab Pro.? We do not know, it is the last year and a half, and I’m sure they had their audience. – Returning to the “Tab S” before us, Samsung introduced the new Tab S2 8 “and 9.7″, which replace the last laño 8.4 “and 10.5″. – This year both have 4: 3 ratio and vertical orientation, Tab S last year were 16: 9 and the small vertical era, while the largest held in landscape orientation

If all this. mess ranges, ratios, and others will come inch large: is normal. Samsung has big problems in differentiating its range of tablets and specify the public. – I hope that the Tab S2 be a sign of a final unification of the range

Every day

I have been able to analyze these weeks the Galaxy Tab S2, specifically the model of 9.7 “with 32GB and LTE, and the day is a tablet that behaves .. well, good performance and good feelings in general

On a day to day behavior is solid 3GB of RAM accompanying the eight-core Exynos 5433 Same specifications as the Galaxy Note 4 – Frankly not 3D Games simple as Subway Surfers, or something more advanced like Real Racing 3 have good performance, without notice at any time any delay or problem.

For simple tasks like navigation, multimedia, messaging never falls short. and obviously the Galaxy Tab S2 will overrun.

Specifications

Cases Book Cover

Like other models of Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet features two S2 small holes with retractable rear magnets, which allow you to adjust the official cases and they do not move.

The official sheath, called Book Cover by Samsung, it comes in two models, with and no keyboard -. I was able to test the model without keyboard and is a solid cover, which obviously adds weight and thickness, but with so fine a tablet-only 5.6mm- subtracted sense of fragility Besides having good feel and appearance.. – To place it needs to be done much more fuer

It is on sale for € 59.90 in Spain or $ 74.95 in the United States. It is somewhat expensive if you just want extra protection for the tablet, and you’ll find alternatives third-party manufacturers for less than half that price. – The keyboard version up to € 169.90

Competition

This is the question many are asking. Often we see people who despite having Windows on your desktop, a smartphone with Android, they use an iPad as a tablet. – The iPad range is known, easier to know which device is for you, and be not commonly sold through operators do not enjoy discounts or subsidies

In the end the decision will depend basically. your preferred ecosystem: Android iOS 5 to 9. – If you have no experience, or your first tablet not think either S2 Galaxy Tab (in two versions) and iPad Mini iPad or normal disappoint you

Compared with tablets and Edison BQ, I prefer the Tab S2 forever. – As with other models like the Nexus 9 or LG G Pad range. – As mentioned in the review of the Galaxy Tab S original, it is the best Android tablet market, and a year later is still maintained

Other Considerations

The Galaxy Tab S2 loses the infrared port with which his predecessor had. Earn Bluetooth 4.1, and storage base rises from 16 to 32GB.

They have the same fingerprint sensor S6 that the new Galaxy, which do not work exceptionally well, but they work, although sometimes costing two or three attempts. – Something that can thwart

The exchange ratio to 4: 3 has taken away a bit density of pixels, but the screen is still good brightness and contrast.. Although he is suffering in the side view. It is of worse quality than you can find in the Galaxy S6, for example

Concluding

In short, I repeat:. the best Android tablet. Solid, good performance. Average quality of the display and camera. The battery does not shines but not let you down.
