The new 8-inch Samsung tablet is like two drops of water like its older brother Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. As a “filling”, as far as possible, new components are also used. Let's check what causes the transition to more compact sizes to reduce the productivity of the device.

Together with the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, a competitor to the iPad-Air-2, Samsung released a compact one that can be seen as an alternative to the iPad Mini 4. The design of the new product is reminiscent of the Galaxy A series smartphones. The main advantage of the successor Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is the 4: 3 display format 16:10. The amount of RAM is lost and becomes 3 GB. Like the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 LTE uses a 1.9 GHz Exynos SoC processor from Samsung, and the new model has a larger chip. Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 with an LTE mobile communications module is approximately 5,000 rubles more expensive for the Wi-Fi-only version of the tablet. The direct competitors of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 are the supernew iPad Mini 4 and its Android counterparts Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and the smaller Google Nexus 9.

Frame

Regardless of size, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 looks exactly like a 9.7-inch model. The cutout for the telephone speaker above the Samsung logo on the 8-inch model is less noticeable. The Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is thinner and noticeably shorter than its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, having gained about a centimeter in width by upgrading to a 4:3 screen format. The camera inaccurately protrudes approximately 1.8 mm above the back surface of the tablet. In terms of lightness, the weight is 272 g, which can be compared to the SONY Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact with a weight of 270 grams.

The latest flagship tablet Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is being discounted for the latest flagship smartphone Galaxy S5. The design of the new Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is based on the motifs of the Galaxy A smartphones. The tablet has a shiny, slightly rusty metal frame. The back cover is made of short plastic; The tablet does not get wet when licked from your hands. Unfortunately, the fingertips on the Galaxy Tab S2 case become noticeable and easily erased. On the back panel of the device you can install a retainer for covers so that you can bathe them tightly. The metal frame makes the Galaxy Tab S2 look even more special. The gaps are small; when you try to twist the tablet, it may crack slightly.

Components

The same components are used as in the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. The tablet has an Exynos 5433 Octa SoC 1.9 GHz processor, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of Flash storage, of which 25 GB are available. Supports the replacement of microSD memory cards with a capacity of up to 128 GB and transfer to a program memory card.

The living unit and external devices are connected to the tablet via a Micro USB 2.0 connector. Unfortunately, not via the new USB 3.0 Type C. The good news is support for USB-OTG for connecting peripheral devices (flash drives, keyboards, mice, etc.) and MHL for transferring photos and videos to the large display. Supports Bluetooth 4.1, WiFi Direct for drone-free image transmission and ANT+ for drone-free transmission of information from sensors. There is no infrared port, like the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Tab S2 8.0. NFC technology is not supported.

Silence the presence of a vibration motor on the tablet for tactile feedback. The tablet does not have LED indicators similar to Android smartphones.

Right side: slot for Nano-SIM card, slot for microSD memory card, volume control, life key Left side: no slots.

Bottom: speaker, 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones, microphone, Micro-USB jack, another speaker. Top: microphone

Software security

The operating system is based on Android 5.0.2 with Samsung TouchWiz shell. Today, TouchWiz lacks user-friendliness and introduces no additional functions and customization tools. Whether an update to Android 5.1 or 6.0 will be released for the tablet, unfortunately, it is not yet known. As is new for Samsung tablets, the Tab S2 8.0 comes with no third-party add-ons installed. Most of these programs can be easily removed. Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNnote, Skype, OneDrive) are not visible at all; you can only deactivate other components.

There are plenty of Samsung programs that offer additional functions. Thus, the Smart Switch program will simplify the transition to a new tablet by transferring settings, contacts and data from another mobile device. Return to the SideSync program for using your tablet from a Windows computer or mobile device. Unfortunately, the control attempt from another Samsung tablet was not successful. In this case, connections between a Windows laptop and Tab S2 8.0 worked normally after installing the dedicated software on the laptop. Long presses on the left touch button activate the half-screen mode.

Call and GPS

The inclusion of a WLAN a/b/g/n/ac module will ensure a very high data transmission speed. When communicating with the ASUS RT-AC56U router, this speed reached 780 Mbit/s beyond the theoretical limit of 866 Mbit/s in the 5-GHz band. As the distance between the tablet and the router increases, the speed of data transfer decreases. The operating radius of the Tab S2 8.0 droneless module and the sensitivity of both the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands are on the same level as other large mobile devices.

If you have Wi-Fi, you can use an LTE modem for data transmission speeds of up to 300 Mbps (LTE Cat. 6). If necessary, for example, in the hour of collecting important obligations, you can activate the “quickie” for parallel Wi-Fi and mobile data.

Due to the obvious presence of the rear speaker, the Tab S2 8.0 can be considered a giant smartphone. Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 does not have such capabilities. The transmission speed of the Tab S2 8.0 for phone calls is on a high level with that of expensive smartphones. With a different headset, since the level of background noise is not very great, language is also transmitted sparingly.

The tablet supports GPS and Glonass satellite navigation systems. The position of the exact position is indicated to be sufficient; power will take a little lower, lower Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. The received GPS satellite signals are not detected after a long stay.

When tested as a control device, the Garmin Edge 500 Tab S2 8.0 cycling computer showed a slight overall improvement of 2% and the ability to “cut” roads is typical for rich tablets. The Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 has a slightly more precise positioning plan, and the Apple iPad Mini 4 is an absolute champion in navigating navigation.

Cameri

The Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 has the same cameras as the older model Galaxy Tab S2 9.7. On the front side of the tablet there is a selfie camera with a 2.1 megapixel lens (1920x1080, 16:9 format, 1/2.2 brightness). Selfies, unfortunately, come out blurry and faded.

selfie camera with 2.1 megapixels

Photos from the 8-megapixel rear camera (3264x2448, 4:3 aspect ratio) are much more beautiful, although they do not match the quality of photos taken by cameras of today's high-end smartphones. On the other hand, it’s better to take photographs of several tablets, lower.

It’s worth noting that the use of a brighter lens (1/1.9 Galaxy Tab S2 instead of 1/2.4 Galaxy Tab S) did not lead to an increase in photo speed at low light levels. As before, such photographs are characterized by high digital noise (the appearance of a noticeable number of dots of faded color and brightness) and loss of detail. In addition, in front of the front, the Galaxy Tab S2 tablet does not have a LED light.

If you look carefully, you can notice a loss of clarity in some photographs. When taking photographs in landscape orientation, move the camera around the edge of the tablet so that your fingers do not get caught in the frame. From automatic mode, you can switch to professional mode and manually adjust white balance, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation, etc. In addition, there are programs for capturing HDR (with an expanded brightness range) and panoramic shots.

Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 will provide high-quality video recording. Supports recording from a separate 2560x1440 format in the popular 16:9 format at speeds up to 30 frames per second. Obviously, the coloring is in line with the predecessor of the Galaxy Tab S, which will allow you to download videos from separate parts no more than Full-HD.

It is not possible to take photographs at the same time while recording video in maximum detail. Also, the maximum video recording mode does not support electronic image stabilization. Recordings in both Full-HD and QHD quality come out contrasty and clear. Still frames from the video are characterized by the finest details and live results captured using the front camera photography. The front camera, however, will capture video in separate formats at 1080p and 30 fps speed, and can be used for video calls.

8 megapixel rear camera

Accessories

Like the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, the set of accessories is the most unnecessary. The tablet comes with a short adapter, a charger, a 5V 2A USB cable and a small metal tool for extracting Nano-SIM or microSD cards. Additional is possible.

Installation facilities

The touch screen of the Galaxy Tab S2 is manufactured with high precision. There is no need to press on the screen as much as possible; Fingers scrabble along the dry surface making even insignificant rubs.

The Home key has a fully equipped finger scanner. A similar scanner is available on top-end smartphones Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. You no longer need to swipe your finger across the scanner; just one swipe is enough. You can use the scanner when purchasing from Samsung software stores or to access web forms. The on-screen keyboard built into the system is difficult to get used to. The same basic functions of prompting and continuous input (without leaving your finger on the screen) are supported. Behind the scenes, the keyboard can be moved to the edge of the screen or somewhere else on the display. You can also divide the keyboard into 2 parts to make it easier to type with your thumbs.

The tablet responds to the actions of the user, and the device is not afraid to react when switching between devices. To change the orientation of the screen (from vertical to horizontal or otherwise), the tablet with some delays is indicated by a smooth rotation instead of the display. The delay, of course, serves to prevent a sudden turn.

Screen

The 8-inch Super-AMOLED display of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 in 4:3 format will provide the same 2048 x 1536 aspect ratio as the 9.7-inch model. The pixel density of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 may reach a high value of 320 ppi, which does not exceed the 359 ppi power of the predecessor Galaxy Tab S 8.4.

The average brightness of the tablet screen is 348 cd/m2, which is significantly higher than the value of 261 cd/m2 on the front, but lower than the brightness of LCD screens, such as, for example, the iPad Mini 4 or Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact exceeds 400 cd/m2. To ensure that information from the brightness screen is readable, when auto-adjusting the brightness sensor display, you can overestimate the values ​​that are set manually.

In contrast to LCD screens, the Super-AMOLED display does not require backlighting, so the brightness of the black dots on the Super-AMOLED display remains 0 cd/m2, and the contrast of the Super-AMOLED display is infinite. Competing tablets with LCD screens cannot match the contrast ratio of the Galaxy Tab S2. Thus, the maximum contrast ratio of 1556:1 among the older tablets is on the Lenovo Yoga 2 8 LED screen. It is also important to note that, based on subjective perception, the colors on the screen are displayed the brightest.

As for the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, the 8-inch model has available color modes: “Film AMOLED”, “Photo AMOLED”, “Basic”, “For reading”, as well as the “Adaptive display” mode, in which color spectrum, saturation and Clarity is adjusted automatically depending on the nature of the information being displayed on the screen.

Productivity and games

As a 9.7-inch modification, it uses a high-power ARM processor Samsung Exynos 5433 Octa, which has a single-chip SoC system. In addition to the installed Galaxy Tab of the first generation, Exynos 5420, Exynos 5433 supports 64-bit programs. Like all 8-core Exynos 7 Octa processors, 5433 operates on the big.LITTLE principle: 4 productive Cortex-A57 cores with a frequency of up to 1.9 GHz operate at high frequency, and 4 economical Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.3 Hz frequency energy gain, if high physical exertion is not required. As required, all 8 cores are included in the robot. The processor has a Mali-T760 MP6 graphics core.

Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 shows first-class results and beats SONY Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Subjectively speaking, the productivity of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is less than sufficient for quickly browsing Internet pages, launching web add-ons and interacting with web services.

Idle mode does not exceed 30 °C. Among its competitors, the Lenovo Yoga 2 8 is left significantly colder in the wash mode. When turned on, the temperature of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 does not rise above 43 ° C, which is significantly lower than that of its predecessor Galaxy Tab S 8.4, and on the same level as that of its direct competitors.

As with the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, the drop in productivity of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0, which is observed in GFXBench, with heavy use of the tablet under pressure increases to 40%, and the frequency of the graphics tier - from 600 MHz to 350 MHz. Through trolling, it is possible to get a boost when playing on the tablet.

Energy supply

In terms of energy efficiency, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 cannot boast of any particular success. The Idle mode has only the larger Google Nexus 9, the less demanding Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. The Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 only works with the Lenovo Yoga 2 8 Windows tablet. The power of the 10-watt power supply unit (5V, 2A) supplied with the kit is only sufficient for the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. The reserve will not be depleted for charging the battery. When the display is turned on, the battery charging time becomes approximately 2.5 years. The original USB port of the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 does not charge in Standby mode; It can only be charged through the USB port of a connected tablet.

Operating hour on battery

It would seem that the battery capacity was reduced by 23% and the battery capacity was equal to the previous one, and better energy efficiency would not be expected for this tablet. However, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0, just like the Idle mode, is even more advanced than the Galaxy Tab S 8.4. More than 7 years in Internet tablet mode – sufficient value for most users. For an hour of H.264 1080p video production (13 years), the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 is inferior to the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.

Surely, Samsung uses all sorts of tricks to extend the tablet's battery life. For example, the brightness of the display when switching to battery mode decreases by 5% regardless of ongoing adjustments and without switching to energy saving mode.

After Samsung revised the code names of its devices, its flagship models were given the S index. All smartphones are in this series, and recently the company began producing tablets. The first breakthrough was the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, which took the best that the builder 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 becomes a continuation of the series. The tablet has a practically standard display, a stronger processor, and a modern 4:3 screen format. The remaining investigations showed that while in the past, people were amazed by films, now they are no longer interested in reading books and looking at websites. The developer was prompted to create this format. So, we would like to present to you a review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet.

Virobnik completes its flagship with a charger, a USB-microUSB cable for connecting to a computer, and a set of documents.

Design

The external appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has one clear difference that makes it impossible to confuse it with another company’s device: the physical buttons on the front panel. One of them is a mechanical “Home” button with an integrated finger sensor, and the other two are touch sensitive. Otherwise the tablet is similar to other models. Tim is not a mensch, it’s easy not to lose his respect for the promotion of his main competitor - the Apple iPad.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 device has two screen sizes – 8 and 9.7 inches. As you might have already guessed, the aspect ratio is 4:3, so the tablet is positioned for use in the business sphere and for browsing. Samsung believed that it would be more beautiful, and even in line with the latest trends, the model for recycling such devices has changed, and multimedia looks less expensive. And the new format adds 20% more space. Before speaking, the first tablet with such a screen became the Galaxy Tab A (read it).

In addition to the buttons located on the narrow part of the tablet, on the front surface there is a camera and a brightness control sensor. The display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is framed by narrow frames, and the 8-inch model is narrower, which makes the device more similar to smartphones. Next to the display is a metal frame, which gives the tablet a serious look. And behind there you should cross over to the plastic. The back part is covered with plastic that is soft and soft. There is a rear camera on it, which is visible above the body, with Samsung written on it and a kind of button for a branded case. All sockets are located on the sides: right-handed - buttons for pressing and locking/depressing, as well as two tightly closed slots for nano-SIM and microSD; up – microphone; and at the bottom there are two stereo speakers, a headphone jack and a microUSB port. The left edge has lost its freedom entirely. And the 8-inch modification of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with a fiberglass module has an additionally large speaker above the display and a microphone on the bottom edge, so you can make calls on it, just like through a phone.

The case itself is plastic and very thin, less than 5.6 mm. This is the thinnest tablet in the world. Regardless of subtlety, the device is even more important and respects conscience. The parts are carefully matched one to another, and the body sometimes appears monolithic. Due to the fact that the metal is viscous, the weight is about 390 g for a 9.7-inch device and about 270 g for an 8-inch device. Therefore, without strain, you can work much longer.

Screen

Samsung's components have surpassed everyone else, and the display of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is the largest on the market. The separate 2048 x 1536 SuperAMOLED matrix with a pixel density of 320 ppi has high brightness and incredibly realistic rendering of colors, and the highest contrast combines the entire image x the most detailed details. In fact, the colorization of the sRGB palette has reached 100%, which makes looking at photos and watching videos even more comfortable for the eyes.

Due to such a separate screen, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 screen does not have any graininess, which can be easily seen by viewing the matrix under a thicker glass. All other literature is clear and smooth to read. If I look at the high points, I can manually demonstrate what kind of advice the company has. If you do not need to control the color of the matrix, you can customize the profile of the robot on the screen. Available to several profiles: Main, Movie AMOLED, Photo AMOLED and Reading mode, as well as Adaptive display, which automatically launches the required profile, depending on the content and minds of the search engine. You can select any profile manually. The skin of these varies greatly in terms of color distribution, white balance and brightness.

How bright it is. The standard readings of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 are around 375 cd/m2 and include a number of light colors. Please activate the automatic regulation and go under direct sunlight as brightness easily increases to 700 cd/m2. There are practically no such demonstrators. When combined with an anti-glare filter, image clarity and screen readability are greatly reduced in any case.

Moreover, it will be covered with greasy stains, and it will also become dry. Through a little work, it was possible to replace Gorilla Glass 4 with a thinner coating. So, over time, the screen becomes covered with tiny smudges that are only visible in the light when the tablet is turned down. There’s no way to get involved in your work and don’t hang around in the dark to receive hostility. In truth, the screen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is the largest in terms of yoke not only in tablets, but in most smartphones.

Productivity

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is powered by the most powerful Samsung Exynos 5433 processor, surpassing the Galaxy Note 4 and significantly outperforming its predecessor. It has a large reserve of power and productivity, as the chipset is manufactured using 20 nm technology, has 4 cores at 1.9 GHz, more saving 4 cores at 1.3 GHz, a Mali-T760 MP6 video adapter and 3 GB of RAM. In addition, it comes with the support of a special technology that allows you to burn all 8 cores at the same time. All nutrition lies in how programs utilize this ability. Maybe, if you check for a new generation processor, otherwise you are unlikely to vikorize the new resource.

Naturally, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 device functions simply on and off, so there is no slightest pressure on galvanization. The menu simply flies, the tablet easily reads video files of separate 2K (3840 x 2160), opens documents, and allows you to play all the current games at maximum settings. Various productivity tests demonstrate results on par with the latest smartphones, but we don’t want to ever reach them. Ale yogo parametrіv i so go head-to-head with the most valuable koristuvachevi.

Multimedia capabilities

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet easily displays media files at the highest bit rates and supports a variety of music and video formats. However, not everyone can benefit from a standard programmer. You can also purchase and install any accessories from the store.

Two speakers accurately reproduce all frequencies and have a huge reserve of volume, so the brightness of the sound is subdued. You can also watch the videos at the loud place. Unfortunately, the square format is blurry and you have to put up with dark shadows when watching current films on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, and most of them are recorded in the 16:10 format. The audio on headphones will sound even louder and deeper, music lovers will be delighted. Although you are unlikely to buy such a tablet, you focus purely on the brightness of the sound.

Battery that hour robot

The larger version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is equipped with a 5870 mAg battery, and the smaller version is equipped with a 4000 mAg battery. What a disgraceful display for such a delicate structure. In addition, the energy-saving mode, screen technology and automatic brightness extend the operating hour up to 14 years. Average performance with the 3G module turned on is 7–8 years of continuous operation. However, the numbers may vary depending on the frequency of the transmission, the type of drone-free connection and its stability, the profile of the screen, its level of brightness, and the temperature center. However, in the skin, the signs may vary. Play, burn, consume the most intense energy, you can last a maximum of 7-7.5 years with minimal brightness. Let’s wipe the tablet one day, and if the mobile connection is connected, turn it on two.

When configured with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, you can activate a special energy saving mode. It regulates the running of the process, reduces the load on the processor, enables drone-free modules, and with maximum savings, turns on the screen in black and white. This is a valuable function to allow you to continue living in hopeless moments.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet is equipped with a head camera of 8 megapixels and an additional one of 2.1 megapixels. The stench is not much different from that of the previous model. Unified visibility - the light intensity has been reduced, and the connection with which was slept during the day. The secondary camera locks focus and closes. It also shows a good picture during an hour of video calls.

The main camera of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 does not demonstrate anything super-video, compared to many smartphones, which are still superior to tablets. Increased light and f/1.9 aperture do not compensate for the lack of light during evening shooting. There is noise in the photo, the white balance may be disrupted, autofocus may not be performed properly. Today the camera boasts excellent detail and sharpness. White balance works correctly, colors are not confused, and the camera focuses smoothly. The setup menu strongly resembles the setup of a smartphone of the same series. Overall, the camera of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is not yet comparable to that of telephones, and is one of the shortest among tablets.

The Samsung software store has a 3D Capture program. With this help, you can take trivial photos. All you have to do is run the program, adjust the settings, turn the device completely towards the object, and then save. Only a few devices have this potential.

Operating system and software

The device is equipped with the Android 5.0.2 operating system with the traditional Samsung TouchWiz shell, which is almost identical to the telephone one. The set of programs may be similar to that of bare Android, however, some of the company's programs are still present. He won't be able to clean the tablet for a long time because of the software.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 system has a lot of customization, and there are a lot of proprietary features. For example, a search engine has been added to the S Finder device, which allows you to find the required file, either a setup program, or Smart Manager - a search engine for smudge files and a quick fix. In addition, it has its own software store, Samsung Apps. The Microsoft Office Android office suite is also installed, which allows you to quickly edit the required document on the go.

By inserting a fingerprint sensor into the Home button, you can keep your data safe. When you first use the function, the setup master will ask you to put your finger on the sensor several times until you get stuck on the scratch pads. You can program up to four bits. After this recognition, it is necessary to touch the sensor with your finger. It is not possible to configure a number of user profiles through the data scanner, but the device does not have this capability. It’s even handier, like a tablet for the whole family.

In a word, the system interface has been redesigned very well. Samsung promises to release regular Android updates, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow is expected to be released in the next quarter.

Competitive

Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet – installed Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with Adreno 430 video chip; The device has a separate front camera - 2.1 MP, widescreen 10.1-inch screen 2560 x 1600; memory volumes are saved; tablet of thefts from saw and water.

Apple iPad Air 2 – smaller screen pixel density (264 ppi), 2-core processor, front camera less than 1.2 megapixels.

Considering that the Sony tablet was released later, it is not surprising that its screen size is slightly larger. I don’t want to forget about the larger diagonal and wide format. iPad can be programmed for almost all characteristics. We can boldly say that the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is not the greatest flagship device today.

Pros and cons

Taking a look back to completion, there are significant strengths and weaknesses of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.

• What a perfect screen.
• Miraculous productivity.
• Clearly folded, body dimensions.
• menu.
• Finger sensor.

• Non-manual format for watching films.
• There is no NFC module.
• Variety has improved.

Visnovok

It’s good to hear that Samsung has managed to set the tone for tablet fashion and the bar that is likely to be surpassed. The price, however, is not rich enough, but it is also a flagship. Its superior productivity, clear screen and strong battery will please both gaming enthusiasts and those who buy devices for work.

Are you planning to use the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2? Why do you all have a new opinion? We will be happy to enhance your understanding after reading the article.

The Korean company Samsung is constantly searching for new forms, new solutions, experimenting with the formats of its devices. Now we have a short look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8 0 sm t719 lte 32gb, the flagship model, because the idea is small. For example, the thinnest in its class, the thickness of the tablet is less than six millimeters. Combined with narrow frames around the display, it turns out to be the most compact tablet in the world for its diagonal. This one will easily fit into a small woman’s handbag, and it won’t bother the jacket too much.

Design, ergonomics

Naturally, rich Koreans have an association with the compact iPad, well, the dimensions are similar, but the Koreans are much thinner. And this is despite the fact that they are no longer measured in millimeters, but in tens, and after all, the Tab S2 also outperforms the iPad mini3 by up to 70 grams, and at least by 272 grams. The case is plastic with a metal frame around the perimeter. The metal is chipped clearly, does not fray, does not chip.

Constructed at a high level, such subtlety and value are practically unmatched anywhere, including the famous iPad, which is made entirely of aluminum. The back cover has a Soft-touch coating, no stains, no dents, no abrasions. On the bottom edge there are a removable USB port and a mini-jack, as well as two speakers.

Screen

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 80 has a 7.9” diagonal display, an even brighter Super-AMOLED matrix, which allows for much greater saturation than standard TFTs, as well as a hundredfold superiority in contrast. For a tablet, the pixel density is high - 326 ppi, with a separate size of 2048x1536. On the other hand, the Korean videographer follows its own principles, and you can use your widescreen sensors on the iPad for later. In addition, tablets are not as useful for watching movies as they are for surfing the Internet. Oleophobic coating, from a quick glance, brightness and other parameters, we can easily guess that AMOLED, so everything is at a high level.

Filling ta chas roboti

A high-performance processor with an Exynos 5433 core, as well as 3 gigabytes of RAM, improves the productivity of the tablet, whether it’s everyday or everyday use with triple-digital graphics. The storage capacity is 32 gigabytes, you can add a microSD card of 128 gigabytes, as well as a OneDrive of 100 gigabytes, and you will get an even smaller device. These synthetic tests demonstrate consistent results, consistent with flagship solutions. In its class, the tablet is the most powerful in the world.

The tablet's equipment list includes an LTE network module, just install the SIM card in the receiver, pay for the service, and you have a permanent connection to the global network on your tablet. Naturally, since there is wind on the street, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 80 tablets can be used as a secret, instantly calling them friends. With no-dart technologies, the tablet has all the standard features.

Media

The sound on the tablet is very clear, especially with headphones, although the tablet is unlikely to be suitable for anyone. Let me watch the video again, this device is very good. Two clear, deep and rich speakers that support both stereo and surround sound. In addition, it’s wonderful to use the tablet as a navigator, your companions can learn everything and find information quickly.

Camera

The main camera is 8 megapixels, and in good lighting it will take clear pictures. When applied or on a gloomy day, not everything is good, there is noise, the clarity of the bit is ruined. The front camera here is purely for video calls, taking selfies on a 2 megapixel sensor, at the very least, without fuss.

Autonomy

How they fit a battery with a capacity of 4000 mAg in such an ultra-thin case is not clear, but it’s a fact. When charged, the charge expires every year you play, and now you can watch the video. If you use the mixed mode, the tablet will last all day. Economy mode, which uses the Internet and social media programs.
