Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7

100% Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7in
Source: PC Authority English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Tab S2 9.7in isn’t a perfect tablet: gaming performance could be better, while a lack of accessories compared to the iPad 2 Air holds it back. Come on Samsung, make that keyboard cheaper! However, Samsung hasn’t compromised in the areas that matter. As I did right at the start, I’ll come back to that screen and the build quality. Factor in the price, and the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7in becomes PC & Tech Authority’s top choice for larger Android tablets.

With the 32GB Wi-Fi only version costing £399 direct from Samsung, the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is priced on a par with the 16GB 9.7-inch iPad Air 2. It has the same screen resolution in a lighter and thinner package, and of course more storage, so it’s clear to see what the target is here. The Samsung offers good performance in everyday use and is likely to deliver better battery life than the iPad as well.

80% Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 review: the closest thing yet to an Android iPad
Source: T3 English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 the slate to unseat Apple? Not quite, but in many ways it feels like an Android iPad. It’s a joy to use thanks to a thin and light design, a big and bright screen and plenty of power, which are the most important things really. Well, those and battery life, which isn’t quite as good as it could be, but there’s still enough juice here to see you through an average day of use with ease. All that and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 won’t cost you any more than an iPad mini 4. It’s not as beautiful to behold as Apple’s tablets and with a not fully premium design it doesn’t feel quite as high-end, but if you’re after an Android slate with a great screen then this is right up there.

80% A genuine iPad rival?
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2's strongest aspect is its size and the weight, giving you plenty of display, while remaining light and slimline. There's lot to like about this tablet. There's a great deal of vibrancy to the display and while that looks good in many apps, it can be a little over-bearing depending on the content you're viewing. It adds pop to website images, but isn't as natural when it comes to watching your favourite movies. We like the 4:3 aspect though, as it's convenient when reading and browsing.

Source: Recombu English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is a solid choice for anyone after an entertainment or business tablet, thanks to its sharp, vibrant screen, slim and light design, smooth performance and excellent battery life. However, it doesn’t really do anything different to last year’s Tab S, with very few actual improvements beyond the re-orientation and refreshed fingerprint sensor.

So is the Galaxy Tab S2 worth it at its asking price? Probably not, considering the wider field of tablets available today, especially those from Apple. However, if you’re heavily invested in the Android ecosystem, and want a slick tablet that features (mostly) top-end hardware, the Galaxy Tab S2 is one of the better choices on the market today.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
Source: AnandTech English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
This feels almost completely obvious but the Tab S2 9.7" is definitely the most compelling tablet that Samsung has released to date, and I think it's a good overall upgrade over the Tab S 10.5". Over the course of the review I've found some aspects of the Tab S2 to be really great, and others that need improvement next time around. It's worth going over them all again before coming to any final conclusions about the tablet.

Leave it to Samsung to ruin one of its best products. The original Tab S had plenty going for it -- except few people bought it. That's one reason Samsung might have chosen to make its new model more iPad-like. But by focusing on the spec race with Apple, instead of what's actually best for consumers, Samsung ended up sacrificing one of its best features: long runtime.

90% A worthy counterpart for your smartphone
Source: Greenbot English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
If you’re looking for a tablet companion of your own and you want to stick to Android, either size of the Galaxy Tab S2 will work. I personally prefer the smaller size because of its portability—I typically travel with just my purse on me. However, if you’d rather not pay the full price for an Android tablet but are still looking for something that’s stylish and powerful, there’s plenty of original Tab S tablets on sale that are still worth bringing home.

100% Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 review
Source: Stuff TV English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Samsung hasn’t just crafted a worthy successor to the Galaxy Tab S, but one of the best big-screen tablets out there. It’s thin, light, gorgeous-looking and well-balanced, and while the screen has fewer pixels than its predecessor’s it’s still fantastic with a more practical aspect ratio. So if you’re after a tablet that can double as an Android laptop, the Xperia Z4 slips ahead. But if you’re looking for a versatile, big-screen Android tablet first-and-foremost, then stop right here. With a design that’s built for the hand rather than the desktop, the Tab S2 is the one to buy.

Source: Phone Arena English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Being that premium tablet it’s sought out to be, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7-inch comes in at the customary starting price of $500 for the base 32GB Wi-Fi model. That’s not too shabby considering it has the svelte construction, smooth performance, and diversified experience to cater to a wide array of consumers.

100% Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (9.7, Wi-Fi) review
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
There's no doubt the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is an impressive tablet. It's slim, light and has a generally excellent screen, as long as you're willing to put up with a slight yellow tint for the sake of excellent contrast. However, it sits in an odd position in the tablet market. It's the same price as the iPad Air 2, which has superior performance, if worse battery life, and is up to £200 more than the price-yoyoing Google Nexus 9, which isn't as nice an object but has stronger performance.

90% Android’s best iPad: Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S2 reviewed
Source: Gadgetguy English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
With Samsung’s latest tablet, there is no mistaking that this is one of the best non-Apple tablets out there, with a combination of parts that Android fans are sure to love, though it’s not the independent design you’ve seen from Samsung in the past. Rather, for this one, Samsung appears to have resigned itself to making something close to an iPad.

The Galaxy Tab S2 is so thin and light that it almost seems like someone digitized a piece of paper. This is one gorgeous display, too. The Super AMOLED screen delivers richer colors and deeper blacks than the iPad Air 2. The tablet is especially compelling if you own both a Samsung phone and a Samsung TV, because of how well this tablet's software integrates with those devices.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 hands-on
Source: GSM Arena English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Samsung has worked obsessively to make the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 the thinnest and lightest slate in its class and has succeeded. We expect the device’s dimensions to be its defining feature and for a good reason - the Tab S2 9.7 breaks the rules about how a full size tablet should handle. The chipset found in the device raised a few eyebrows, as it isn’t the most powerful solution available at the moment. It is however, a massive improvement over the SoC found in the tablet’s predecessor.

Flagship iOS and Android tablets are almost identical
Source: Tech Advisor English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Although we've only had hands-on time with the Galaxy Tab S2 it's clear to see that it's a great tablet – even if it has suddenly matched the iPad on screen size, aspect ratio and resolution. The S2 wins on dimensions but it's so close that this is really just bragging rights and both tablets have top-notch specs. Aside from the choice between iOS and Android storage and price are the big differences here with that potentially deal breaking Micro-SD card slot found on Samsung's tablet only.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Review: Hands-on
Source: Recombu English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
As with the Note 4 and the latest Galaxy S flagships, the Tab S2 boasts a metal frame with a chamfered edge in place of what was previously an all-plastic body, making for a sturdier, more premium feel in the hand. It also helps give the tablet its exceptionally shallow depth (an insane 5.3mm), ensuring it’s great for those after a device they can slot in a bag without it being too bulky.

How it fairs against the iPad Air 2 and Mini 3 remains to be seen, and how it holds up when Apple refreshes those models this Autumn will be particularly interesting. If you're in the market for an Android tablet and have a bit of money to spend, though, you should definitely consider the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. We’ll have a full test up very soon.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 hands-on: Lighter than an iPad in build, but not features
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Samsung has been criticised in the past for its cheap and cheerful tablet ranges, but in the S2 it has a creditable alternative to Apple's iPad devices. Although we need to test the tablets fully, we are already of the mind that if you are an Android fan and are in the market for a new tablet, these will be worth considering.

这是常见的小型平板电脑的屏幕尺寸。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
