We reviewed and liked the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 last year and we couldn't let 2015 end without having a look at the Tab S2 models. We reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 recently in the 9.7 inch version and we should start by mentioning that this is the...

It's been quite a long time since I last picked up an Android tablet to use or review. While Google's mobile operating system has proven to be extremely well suited to smartphones, it hasn't been nearly as impressive on tablets for a multitude of reasons...

Ultrasim, lightweight design is undoubtedly very attractive. Android on tablets has improved in the last year. Decent display with an ideal aspect ratio.

Expensive compared to Apple's current iPads. Performance and battery life falls behind the best tablets out there.

The first Android tablet I ever used was the original Galaxy Tab. It was a 7" Android tablet running Android Froyo, and it seemed a lot like a large version of my Galaxy S. In hindsight, it wasn't a very good tablet, but Samsung was one of the first Andro...

This feels almost completely obvious but the Tab S2 9.7" is definitely the most compelling tablet that Samsung has released to date, and I think it's a good overall upgrade over the Tab S 10.5". Over the course of the review I've found some aspects of the...

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...
