After Samsung revised the code names of its devices, the flagship models received the S index. Everyone knows the smartphones of this series, and not so long ago the company began to produce tablets. The first signs were the Samsung Galaxy Tab S devices, which received the best that the linker had at that time, and became a full-fledged competitor to the iPad.
One of the main competitors for the Apple iPad
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has become a continuation of the series. The tablet received an almost standard display, a powerful processor, modern and 4:3 screen format. Recent studies have shown that while in the past, users mostly watched movies, now they mostly read books and browse websites. This is what prompted the developer to create just such a format. So, we present to your attention a review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet.

The manufacturer completes its flagship only with charging, a USB-microUSB cable for connecting to a computer and a set of documents.
Design
The appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has one recognizable feature that makes it impossible to confuse it with a device from another company: physical buttons on the front panel. One of them is a mechanical home button with a built-in fingerprint sensor, and the other two are touch-sensitive. The rest of the tablet is similar to other models. Nevertheless, it's hard not to pay attention to the desire to inherit its main rival - the Apple iPad.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is available in two screen sizes - 8 and 9.7 inches. As already mentioned, the aspect ratio is 4:3, since the tablet is primarily positioned for business use and for browsing. Samsung thought it would be better this way, because compared to previous years, the model for recycling such devices has changed, and fewer users view multimedia. And the new format adds 20% more space. By the way, the first tablet with such a screen was the Galaxy Tab A (read it).
In addition to the buttons that are located on the narrow part of the tablet, on the front surface there is a camera and a brightness adjustment sensor. The display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is framed by narrow frames, and in the 8-inch model they are somewhat narrower, which makes the device more similar to smartphones. Around the display is a metal frame that gives the tablet a serious look. And at the back, it goes into plastic. The back is covered with soft-touch plastic and has a . It houses the rear camera, which protrudes above the body, the Samsung inscription and a kind of button for a branded case. All connectors are on the sides: on the right - the volume and lock / power buttons, as well as two tightly closed slots for nano-SIM and microSD; top - microphone; and on the bottom are two stereo speakers, a headphone jack, and a microUSB port. The left side remained completely free. And the 8-inch modification of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with a cellular module has an additional earpiece above the display and a microphone on the bottom, since you can call it like a regular phone.
The case itself is plastic and very thin, only 5.6 mm. This is the thinnest tablet in the world. Despite the thinness, the device is very durable and built to last. The parts are very tightly fitted to each other, and the body at times seems completely monolithic. Thanks to the elimination of metal, the weight is only about 390 g for the 9.7-inch device and about 270 g for the 8-inch. Therefore, without tension, you can work much longer.
Screen
In this component, Samsung outdid everyone, because the display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is the best on the market. The SuperAMOLED matrix with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and a pixel density of 320 ppi has the highest brightness and incredibly realistic colors, and the highest contrast helps to display all the smallest details. Indeed, the sRGB color gamut reached 100%, making viewing photos and watching videos very comfortable for the eyes.
Thanks to this resolution, the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has no graininess, it can only be seen when looking at the matrix under a magnifying glass. Even small letters are read clearly and smoothly. The viewing angles are the highest, so you can comfortably show some content even in a company. If you are not satisfied with the too bright colors of the matrix, it is possible to customize the screen profile. Four profiles are available: Main, AMOLED Movie, AMOLED Photo, and Reading Mode, as well as Adaptive Display, which automatically launches the correct profile based on content and usage conditions. You can select any profile manually. Each of them differs significantly in terms of color display, white balance and brightness.
About brightness. The standard performance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is about 375 cd / m 2 and depends on the number of light colors. But it is worth activating automatic regulation and going out into direct sunlight, as the brightness easily increases to 700 cd / m 2. Almost no one has such indicators. In combination with an anti-glare filter, the clarity of the picture and the readability of the screen remain at the highest level in any case.
On top of that, there is a coating against greasy stains, as well as a protective glass. Due to the small thickness, I had to put a thinner coating instead of Gorilla Glass 4. So over time, the screen is covered with small scratches, visible only in the light when the tablet is off. They do not affect the work in any way and do not spoil the overall pleasant impression. Indeed, the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is the best in quality, not only by the standards of tablets, but also by most smartphones.
Performance
The most powerful Samsung Exynos 5433 processor, first used on the Galaxy Note 4 and significantly jumped over its time, is responsible for the work of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. It has a huge margin of power and performance, as the chipset, manufactured using 20 nm technology, has 4 cores at 1.9 GHz, more economical 4 cores at 1.3 GHz, a Mali-T760 MP6 video adapter and 3 GB of RAM. In addition, hardware has support for a special technology that allows you to use all 8 cores at the same time. The whole question is which applications will utilize this possibility. Maybe someone was waiting for a new generation processor, but you are unlikely to use the full resource of this.
Naturally, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 functions simply exceptionally, there is not even the slightest hint of slowdown. The menu just flies, the tablet easily reads video files with a resolution of 2K (3840 x 2160), opens documents, and allows you to play all modern games at maximum settings. Various performance tests show results on par with the best smartphones, although they do not always reach them. But its parameters are already enough for the most demanding user.
Multimedia features
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 easily plays the highest bitrate media files and supports many music and video formats. True, the standard player may not appeal to everyone. But you can download and install any from the application store.
Two speakers accurately reproduce all frequencies and have a good volume margin, so the sound quality is excellent. So you can watch videos in a noisy place. Unfortunately, the square format will force you to put up with black bars when watching modern movies on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, because most of them are recorded in 16:10 format. In headphones, audio sounds very voluminous and deep, music lovers will be happy. Although it is unlikely that anyone will buy such a tablet, focusing purely on sound quality.
Battery and operating time
The larger modification of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is equipped with a 5870 mAh battery, and the smaller one is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery. This is a very good indicator for such a thin device. In addition, energy-saving mode, screen technology and automatic brightness extend the operating time up to 14 hours. Average performance with the included 3G-module - 7-8 hours of continuous operation. In turn, the figures may differ from the frequency of use, the type of wireless connection and its stability, the profile of the screen, its brightness level, and the temperature environment. So each device may have different performance. Games, in general, are the most voracious energy absorbers, you can achieve a maximum of 7–7.5 hours at minimum brightness. But in general, a tablet is enough for a day, and when mobile communications are turned off - for all two.
In the settings of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, you can activate a special power saving mode. It regulates running processes, reduces processor power, disables wireless modules, and with maximum savings, in general, makes the screen black and white. This useful feature will extend the life of the device in hopeless moments.
Camera
Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is equipped with a main camera of 8 megapixels and an auxiliary camera of 2.1 megapixels. They are not much different from those in the previous model. The only difference is the improved aperture, and therefore there is no flash. The auxiliary camera has a fixed focus and performs quite well. It also shows a good picture during video calls.
The main camera of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 does not show anything super outstanding, compared to many smartphones, which are still significantly ahead of tablets. Improved aperture and f / 1.9 aperture do not compensate for the lack of a flash when shooting at night. Noise appears in the photo, white balance may go astray, autofocus may not work properly. During the day, the camera boasts good detail and sharpness. The white balance works correctly, the colors are not distorted, the camera focuses instantly. Its settings menu strongly resembles the settings of a smartphone of the same name series. In general, the camera of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is not yet comparable to the phone, but is one of the best among tablets.
The Samsung app store has an interesting 3D Capture program. With its help, you can create three-dimensional images. It is enough to launch the application and, following the instructions, slowly rotate the device around the object, then save. Only a few devices have this capability.
Operating system and programs
The Android 5.0.2 operating system is installed on the device with the traditional Samsung TouchWiz shell, which is almost completely identical to the phone one. The set of programs is almost like a bare Android, however, some branded applications are still present. Therefore, you do not have to clean the tablet from software garbage for a long time.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 system has a large number of settings, with several proprietary features. For example, a search engine for the device was added S Finder, which allows you to find the desired file, application or setting, or Smart Manager - a junk file cleaner and accelerator. It also has its own Samsung Apps store. Also preinstalled office suite Microsoft Office Android, allowing you to quickly edit the desired document on the go.
The fingerprint sensor built into the home button keeps your data safe. When using the feature for the first time, the setup wizard will ask you to put your finger on the sensor several times until the drawn fingerprint is filled. Up to 4 prints can be programmed. After that, recognition occurs instantly, just touch your finger at the sensor. You cannot set up multiple user profiles through the fingerprint scanner, but the device has such an option. This is very convenient if there is only one tablet for the whole family.
In a word, the system interface has been redesigned very cool. Samsung promises to release regular Android updates, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow is expected to be released in the second quarter.
Competitors
Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet - installed Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 video chip; the device has the best resolution of the front camera - 2.1 MP, widescreen 10.1-inch screen 2560 x 1600; the memory sizes are the same; The tablet is protected from dust and water.
Apple iPad Air 2 - lower screen pixel density (264 ppi), 2-core processor, front camera only 1.2 Megapixels.
Considering that Sony's tablet was released later, it's not surprising that its screen resolution is slightly higher. Although at the same time, one should not forget about the larger diagonal and wide format. iPad loses in almost all characteristics. We can safely say that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is perhaps the best flagship device today.
