Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 LTE

87.7% Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 LTE Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
Insanely slim. With a more compact chassis and a different screen ratio, the new Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 aims to outdo its predecessor. Our in-depth review will show whether this is a success despite – or because – of the shrunken dimensions.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 certainly ticks off all the right boxes for someone looking at a high end Android tablet. The slim form factor, high resolution display, speedy performance, light weight all make it an ideal tablet to consider if you are only looking at Android tablets. You can snap on a keyboard and use it for working with Office related apps as well.

70% That Premium Feeling
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
After spending close to a week with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, one thing's certain - this tablet is an excellent choice for those who want to travel light. Samsung has reduced the weight and size of the new tablet without compromising on build or rigidity, which is commendable. The 4:3 aspect ratio makes it comfortable to hold when reading or watching videos. At Rs 39,400 it's also cheaper than a similarly specced Google Nexus 9 or Apple iPad Air 2. Samsung has the edge over the other two when it comes to expandable storage and the ability to make voice calls.

This display format is used for small tablets and a few very big smartphones (so big that they are rather tablets). This is for customers who want a small portable tablet with a display which is at least much bigger than usual smartphone displays.

76.54%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
