Best Decision I Ever Made While Buying A Tablet!
This is one of the best tablets out there currently and I am glad to have ordered it during its first week. After having used it for a while, let me tell you that this is the best tablet for $400. It gives me the most value for money, definitely better than owning an iPad mini 3 or whatever. SIZE: I ordered the 8.0". It is PERFECT! The thinnest tab I have ever held in my hands, this has the perfect combo of screen size, pixel density and processing power. (and portability) VALUE: If you are an Android user, or if you are looking to get your first tablet, Tab S2 8.0 should be one of your choices. I loved the screen and although they are not "retina display", they are sharp and crispy clear. Apple blows it up by calling the about same pixel density as "retina". It's almost the same thing. You will barely notice the pixels. For $400, I am so happy I got this high-end tablet that does all my works and is portable and thin that I can slide it in anywhere I want. The tablet is fast, fast enough to run a couple of apps and stuffs. It could have been faster I guess, but it is definitely fast enough to keep up with future updates on apps and OS. It doesn't lag at all. So don't worry. BATTERY: It gave me about 6 hours or mixed usage. I mostly used it for browsing internet and streaming short clips on YouTube and then Spotify the whole day. The tablet is so light I have to wonder how it manages to carry all that battery juice. I plug it in when going to bed, and then its ready to tackle whole another day of use. I have been using it a lot recently. I like it and even if I don't have anything specific to do, I find myself exploring its many possibilities. There's a lot android users can get out of this Tablet. PERKS: The finger print reader is awesome! Initially I thought Samsung was trying to copy Apple and wouldn't really deliver well. BUT as it turns out the finger print is read so well -- just as well as those on expensive iPads. I have unlocked it 100 times and haven't had any misses. There's 3 GB of RAM. That's what I wanted. It makes running ton of apps in the background easy. Rear camera is quite good! Takes fine pictures in sunshine. The front facing camera is okay, not really made for anything besides Skype calls. The speaker sound clear but they are only on the bottom so it is not going to sound stereo. I use headphones anyway. The best magic happens while watching YouTube videos. Yes you get black edges on top and bottom, you lose about 15-20% of screen to blackness, but that happens with iPad too! It happens to all those tablets that are 4:3 and not 16:9. Personally, it didn't make any difference to me. The video was so clear on Tab S2 8.0 (WAY BETTER THAN ON MY 1080p LAPTOP) that I enjoyed watching random videos after turning the lights off. Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is a neat little device. You'll easily fall in love with this tablet. I did.
