The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is drawing raves for its excellent display that unleashes rich and intense colours on its 9.7 inch screen, making photos and videos well worth watching.

The Tab S2 outshines the Tab S, it’s predecessor, in the sleekness of its design and faster processor, among others. You’ll find it easy to swipe across its wide screen, a feature that poses a direct challenge to Apple’s iPad, as reported by The Guardian.

The new Galaxy Tab S2 defines innovation at its best. The home button at the bottom of the screen hides a fingerprint scanner underneath. The screen, however, steals the show with its density of 264 pixels per inch bringing the most display uncompromising quality.

Unlike most Android tablets, the Tab S2 screen and its 4:3 ratio is absolutely soothing to the eyes, especially for reading books. Videos are pleasant to watch, too, though black bars are likely to appear at the top and bottom of screen.

As for the processor, it’s not as fast as you’d like, making multitasking a bit slow. You can access two applications at the same time, but this option is available for a limited number of apps. The Tab S2 is highly convenient for professionals that use Chrome and Gmail, both of which run pretty fast.

Gamers will feel the adrenaline-rush when playing Nova enhanced with intensive graphics. You can count on its battery that supports several hours of power at a stretch. The battery life, however, isn’t all that exceptional owing to its short standby time.

The tablet is your best buddy if you want to watch a video or play games, but the device isn’t easy to hold in small hands, as reported by CNet. To rond it up, this new Samsung tablet is the best and comes with very few pitfalls.
