The release of Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 model started out as a speculation, along with the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Trash those rumors because it's finally confirmed.
The newest addition to Samsung's top-of-the-line collection of devices, packed with amazing features, is expected to hit the market in August.
The tablet will come in two variants: one with an 8-inch display and another with 9.7-inch display at 5.66mm — just a little smaller compared to the rumored Galaxy Tab S Pro at 8.4 inches and 10.5 inches. The eight-inch model weighs 265 grams, while the 9.7-inch weighs 389 grams, according to the Tech 2.
In fact, Samsung labeled them as their thinnest and lightest tablets.
The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 models will sport 2048x1536 Super AMOLED quality screens, with an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2.1-megapixel front shooter.
