Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 and 8.0
Samsung covertly launched tweaked
versions of its Galaxy Tab S2 tablets, these moving to the Snapdragon 652
chipset. Both tablets will launch with Android 6.0 Marshmallow (the original
started with Android 5.0).
Both have Super AMOLED screens with an
iPad-like 1536x2048 px resolution, 8 MP/1440p cameras and Samsung is selling
keyboards if you want a more productive experience.
Anyway, the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is priced
at € 550 and you get LTE connectivity and 32 GB storage. The Tab S2 8.0 tablet
starts at € 450 for the Wi-Fi only version (32 GB) and goes up to € 480 if you
want LTE.
Those are the German prices, presumably availability
will expand across the rest of the EU soon. A couple of months ago those were
spotted in benchmarks and reported as the Galaxy Tab S3, but it seems that
Samsung didn't deem the changes important enough to bump the version number.
