Apple focused much of its Wednesday tablet presentation on the iPad Pro, glossing over the iPad mini 4, despite the fact that it's brand new. Either way hopefully we will find out more come October. It is worth noting that Samsung made a decision to remove the LED flash that had complimented the rear camera in the last generation Galaxy Tab S.
The screen on this tablet is of the Super AMOLED variety and is exceedingly sharp.
It reportedly packs a 5,700 mAh battery, and should run Android 5.1 Lollipop, presumably with the latest version of TouchWiz UI on top. Even at very close range, you can not discern one pixel from another.
iTWire colleague Ray Shaw first wrote about Samsung's new Tab S2's back in July, in an article entitled 'Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 – thinner and lighter', and listed all the specs, as well as the expectation that the new tablets would go on sale in August. I think for productivity, with the bundled keyboard case you get, the Z4 wins out, but for everyday carry, I'd pick the Tab S2.
It's a more stylish tablet take, and helped by redesigned accessories including the Book Cover that offers a slim, faux leather folio cover that fastens with magnets doubles as a stand (and a sturdier one than official iPad cases deliver).
You can order either tablet (along with other Samsung tablets including the A series and A series with S-Pen) at Samsung's site or from leading telco operators and the usual suite of retailers.
Consumer do not expect the two Galaxy Tab S2 model to become available until later this month or on October.
Samsung has a tough task luring Apple fans away from their iPads but the Galaxy Tab S2 makes an impressive pitch. Without revealing an exact release date, the device maker did mention that there will be two variants; the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and the larger Galaxy Tab S2 9.7.
