How do you improve a tablet almost perfect? Samsung has raised the problem with the launch of Galaxy Tab S2 and particularly its version with 9.7-inch display, what happens to the excellent tablet launched last year. Like the previous one, this is a gadget designed for the high-end market, Powerful and elegant at the same time, it will inevitably clash with the opponent predestined signed Apple.

The most striking feature that is noticed at first sight with S2 is the strength of the body , especially in relation to its extremely small thickness of 5.6 mm . Table S2 no creaks or deform in hand is a rigid foam sheet. The design then evolved: now is minimal, the materials used are plastic and aluminum and the display aspect ratio is 4: 3. small (the display of the previous Galaxy Tab S measured 10.5 inches) and improved ergonomics then make the tablet less tiring to handle.

The display changes to the setting, but the quality remains intact. A resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels and the color technology Super AMOLED panel Samsung’s bright colors and contrasts unmatched ; the definition Quad HD brings out the video and makes it almost unreal text and graphics. The only fault attributable to this screen is a slight tendency to veer toward cool tones when departs from visual angle front, but otherwise it is among the best solutions to tablet currently available on the market.
Who S2 will see each movie and TV series will be slightly annoyed by black bands necessary to fix the new aspect ratio of the screen to the panoramic videos , but on the other hand can finally use the tablet to display pages and browse web magazine. Even work activities benefit from portrait, and to make the management of this area of daily life even easier Samsung has included in the memory of the tablet Microsoft Office suite .
The presence of the app Redmond is a pleasant exception to a software park that fortunately developers Samsung have decided to restrict. The footprint of the TouchWiz UI is still known from a mile away, but the tablet is not packed with features and major changes to Android Lollipop like its predecessors, and the results are: interface is more airy and lets users access to edit at will without feeling suffocated by thousands of apps pre-installed.
They remain available convenience features, such as multi window mode, on which, however, – since not all applications are compatible external – it is best not to rely too much. Productivity has proved much more useful The virtual keyboard , pleasantly precise and accurate correction, and in landscape mode allowed us to type with all fingers simultaneously after a few minutes of practice, rather than only for indexes.
And just Word and Excel, as well as the suite of Google and other developers, they move in an equally fluid, even when there are several apps running in the background. Honor in this case to octa-core Exynos 5433 processor accompanied by 3GB of RAM, which is not the last on the square, but that provides a operation choir and sent to all operations – not only those Office. Even the entertainment it runs as must: between watching movies in 2K, streaming full HD content on Netflix TV Chromecast a couple of open social networks simultaneously and in multiwindow, and a few games of the particularly odious, Tab S2 has almost never had a problem of fluidity.

The accounts with the tablet you are at the end of the day, because a battery not really capientissima that with intensive use can dry up relatively quickly. The 5870 mAh battery to not leave on foot at midday even the most demanding user, but people used to forget the charger of the tablet in the drawer for days, with S2 will have to get used otherwise. It certainly can not define a fatal flaw, but it is certainly a sin of vanity : having sacrificed a bigger battery to obtain a thickness not altogether necessary disvalorized a tablet otherwise powerful and complete 360 degrees .
The fact expands onboard memory with microSD cards, the LTE connectivity allows you to connect to cellular networks fourth generation, the fingerprint sensor located on the home button is not the fastest around but it’s accurate and reliable, and even 8-megapixel camera in good light conditions is able to capture more than decent.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, in short, is inserted between the best tablet of his generation and class, very good for those seeking an alternative Android iPad, although in this case the price is a bit ‘too high , and threatens to divert a chunk of its potential audience on the alternative its most noble.
Wired Display, design and pre-installed software are making it suitable for both the leisure and entertainment. Tired camera without flash.
