Slow charging

Samsung  Galaxy S6 has one of the fastest processor currently available but the processor of The Tab S2 is not quite as fast like Galaxy S6. Multitasking was painless. Tablets of Samsung allow us to use two apps side-by-side, but this apps are limited like Chrome and Gmail, they work well. The tablet has no issues of playing movies or high performance games. It handles them easily. Battery is good but more than the other tablets, stand by time is little bit short, something like three days. One negative thing about the tablet is fully charge takes four hours, no option of fast charging.

Operating System : Galaxy Tab S2 will be shiped with Android 5.0.2 and Android 5.1 will be available.

Camera : Quite similar to last year’s Tab S, relatively bright but are not compared to a decent mid-range smartphone camera we see these days.

Fingerprint scanner : Fingerprint scanner – is on the home button – also some third-party apps use the fingerprint future. Fast, accurate even when S2 is upside down.

The Galaxy Tab S2 is looks like the Samsung’s best tablet for now. It’s thin, light, perfectly good looking screen with 4:3 ratio screen, cam is not shooting photos or videos like smartphones today , having a micro SD slot make the device a good choice for who use tablets for watching movies, battery life could be better, limited multitasking, thin and light. It can be good alternative to Apple iPad Air 2 with micro SD card support but battery life…
