From ComputerWorld: Samsung Electronics' newest Android tablets might as well be called "the Galaxy Air" series. They are the company's thinnest and lightest yet, and could offer an attractive alternative to Apple's iPad Air 2.
The Galaxy Tab S2 will go on sale starting next month. To improve over the previous generation, the company has sought to trim down the product, at the expense of taking a few fractions of an inch off the display screen.
As a result, consumers will be getting two sizes, one at 9.7 inches, the other at 8 inches. The larger tablet weighs 389 grams (14 oz.), while the smaller one comes at 265 grams (9 oz.). In contrast, Apple's iPad Air 2 weighs 439 grams (15 oz.).
Both Samsung's tablets come fitted in a metal frame that measures 5.6 mm in thickness. In addition, the products feature a 2048-by-1536 pixel Super AMOLED screen.
The display, combined with the compact physical design, make the tablets perfect for reading and viewing digital content, according to the South Korean electronics giant. However, the products have a slightly lower screen resolution over the 2560-by-1600 pixel displays found in their predecessors.
