#Samsung Galaxy Tab S 2

We’ve recently released our full review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, now let’s take a closer look at the two tablets – the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 – which made official local debut earlier today. The design trend of the Samsung Galaxy tablets has been, for the past years at least, is that it follows the current design of the South Korean company’s flagship smartphone. We’ve seen it evolved from the rounded and plastic-y tablet that was inspired by the Galaxy S3‘s design, to a super-thin slate with a perforated back panel that was an offshoot of the Galaxy S5’s looks, not to mention the leather-backed Galaxy Tab Pro lineup which is undeniably influenced by the Galaxy Note 4. With the latest tablets, however, Samsung has not implemented the same design scheme of their current flagship handset. Instead of glass, which is the material used on the Galaxy S6’s posterior, Samsung used a plastic back cover with a borderline soft touch to it. It doesn’t attract as much fingerprint or smudge as the glossy panel of the Galaxy Tabs of the past, and it certainly doesn’t look and feel like cheap compared to other plastic panels that Samsung has used on their previous releases.
