Introduction

Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 – this is the last (for now) of the attempts of the Korean giant to enter the market of premium devices. There are two versions. At the 8-inch and 9.7. The latter seemed to us more credible, it and pay close attention.

The first thing to note – the tablet is so thin that this indicator has exceeded all iPads. It offers a wall thickness of only 5.6 mm. It’s like a book of 48 pages. Thus it in any case not brittle. His fingers are not broken. And if you sit down, you also support the weight of an average person. It is also an unusually (for the tablet) light. Total 389 grams of weight. So much weighs an average smartphone. So even in this case he again exceeded all iPads. Just wanted to say that Samsung sets a new brand. Beautiful, functional, dear.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7

Yes, the tablet can shoot 4k-video. And the aspect ratio of 4 to 3 on Android is becoming the norm. Own 20nm processor Samsung Exynos 5433, combined with 3GB of memory allows it to work quickly without overheating. However, I would like to see the Exynos 7420 and 4 GB of RAM, as in flagship companies like Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Premium segment still.



Pack

Retail Box Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has the same design as that of the entire line of Galaxy S6. Inside it you will find the user manual, charger, cable USB, a tool to remove the card MicroSD, as well as the usual array of promotional leaflets.

Samsung will offer a number of accessories for the tablet. They include a hinged lid, and the lid keypad. The latter will only be available for version 9.7 inch Tab S2.

Design – wise. At Galaxy Tab S2 unmistakably clear that he belongs to the line of tablet Samsung. Nevertheless, because of the new aspect ratio was the flagship tablet inscriptions in portrait mode, which has not happened before. The same applies to the navigation buttons.

The case of S2 9.7 attracts attention due to its ultra-thin. It may seem that the book in your hands. Both in size and weight.

The tablet will be available in three colors: white, black and gold.

Display Tab S2 9.7 inch Super AMOLED has a resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels and a pixel density of 264 units. These figures are for the first time debuted in the Apple iPad 3 and are now more or less standard for high-end tablets Android.

Unfortunately, due to the ultra-small size body was taken to withdraw from the stunning resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels . What are the advantages? More battery life.



Management

As mentioned, Samsung’s trio of buttons for navigation located below the display in the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. Home button has a metal ring, it is integrated fingerprint sensor, and physical buttons are located around the touch-sensitive backlit buttons.

Above the screen is the front camera of 2.1 megapixel, light sensor and logo Samsung.

There is nothing on the left side of the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. A power button / lock, volume control and a slot for Micro-SD-Card are on the right.

You will not find anything at the top of the tablet. 3.5 mm audio jack on, Micro-USB-port and two speakers are located below.

On the back of the tablet we are waiting for the main camera is 8 megapixels. Present recess for possible accessories like qwerty-keyboard attachment. The most interesting is that the camera is no LED flash.



First Impressions

Samsung trying very hard to make Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 the finest and lightest in its class, and that the company failed. But it has been cut resolution, the battery (which might be a lot more), but the most offensive, that the tablet has not got an advanced processor and the maximum amount of RAM available. However, the tablet has become much more performance than its predecessor, in computing power. That does not take away from him. As well, the device a pleasure to hold in their hands, and portrait orientation is more convenient for reading and Internet surfing. Operating mode with one hand brought to mind. The fingers do not touch the buttons accidentally, cameras take pictures whenever you need them (they are also difficult to close the fingers). In general, a worthy competition for aypadov. Still larger internal memory. But in this case there is an additional MicroSD card.
