It has some stiff competition from Google's Nexus 9, but this is the most desirable Android tablet there is for under £500

We already had the smaller Samsung Tablet, but needed another. Given the first purchase has be quite a durable products for a few years now we were happy to purchase another Samsung. Does everything we want of it.

First of all, let me say this; I bought this tablet to lighten my load on a trip overseas. I also wanted something more than just my phone for access to social media. This thing rocks. Beautiful display, sturdier storage for micro-SD card. No longer limited to 2.4 GHz wireless.(this is dual band).

This tablet you will love, It is light weight , also easy to hold. The colors are vibrant and has clear picture. It is fast with easy touch screen, also has fingerprint safety, locks your computer from others.

The Galaxy Tab S2 is powered by a non-removable 4,000mAh battery, which during my tests proved surprisingly capable. Streaming Netflix on Wi-Fi, with the screen in the auto setting, the Galaxy Tab S2 discharged between 10 to 15% of its charge per hour.

Powerful processor; Great display; Decent battery

Touchwiz skin still not great; Runs old version of Android

The Tab S2 is impressively slim and light, but at £399 for the 9.7-inch model it's pretty expensive considering the better-built competition.

It's pretty expensive; Build not as high-end as competitors; Graphical limitations; Lower resolution than predecessor; Battery life not great

There is a simple truth here: Not everyone who wants a tablet wants an iPad. I would say most people do but there are plenty who do not like Apple, iOS or following the crowd - or who simply prefer Android and Samsung. For those people, this is the tablet to buy.

The tablet was as anticipated based on expert reviews etc. The screen is really nice (AMOLED) and the performance is faultless so far. The battery went pretty quickly after first charge but seems much better the second time so I suspect this was due to all the set up and software updates being...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is much more fun to work with. Its trendy, slim and powerful, and fully justifies its price tag of Rs 39,400. So if you are planning to buy a tablet/hybrid tablet for a long time, this could be the tablet for your.

Great display; Aristocratic design which is tough as well as quite comfortable to use; Really long battery life; 4G connectivity and even SIM calling; Smooth performance

Cameras could have been better; Does not come bundled with the keyboard cover

When it comes to tablets, the current thinking seems to be "go big or go home," or at the very least, "come with a keyboard." The Galaxy Tab S2, on the other hand, seems like a careful perfection of the way tablets used to be - not a computer replacement, but a straightforward 8-inch or 9.7-inch tab...
