Samsung launches Galaxy Tab S2 ever closer to the iPad … – iGeneration

Finally, Apple was right: the right ratio for a tablet, it’s 4: 3. Android manufacturers have long stubborn will to impose a 16: 9 which is only suitable for video playback. Samsung, which has largely switched to the camp of 4: 3 with its latest tablets, abandon the 16: 9 ratio also for its Galaxy Tab S2 just announced

The two new models therefore offer Super AMOLED screens 8 and 9.7 inches, a definition of 2048 x 1536, a standard there also inaugurated by the iPad. Samsung focuses on web surfing, productivity, reading … but no word on video consultation so that was a strong point of the previous range.

The tablets are particularly thin ( 5.6 mm) and light (389 grams for the 9.7-inch, 265 grams to 8 inches), they incorporate a metal frame like the Galaxy Note 4 or Alpha Galaxy smartphones midrange. These products include a home button with a fingerprint reader “on the Touch ID” (no need to drag your finger, simply place it).

Technically speaking, there are within an eight-core Exynos 533 (2 processors with 4 cores), 3 GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera on the back and 2.1 megapixel front, from 32 to 64 GB of storage with a slot microSD, Bluetooth 4.1, and battery 5870 mAh for the large model (4000 mAh to 8 inches).
