The Tab S2 comes in your choice of 9.7-inch (389g/13.7oz) or 8-inch (265g/9.34oz) screen sizes, with a 2048×1536 pixel Super AMOLED display.
The larger variant is the same size as the iPad Air 2, which launched last October, and manages to offer the same resolution while weighing 1.6oz (46g) less.
Under the hood, you’ll find an octa-core processor (four 1.9GHz cores and four 1.3GHz cores) paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB or 64GB of onboard storage, depending on the variant you choose. There’s also a microSD slot for an additional 128GB of space.
The Android 5.0 Lollipop device packs an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel snapper on the front. A fingerprint reader lets you secure and unlock the device with just a touch of the home key, while Samsung’s software layer allows for multi-tasking and pop-up windows for easy switching between apps.
