The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 256GB is Samsung's tablet featuring a 8.0 inches, 198.2 cm2 (~74.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Exynos 5433 - T710, T715Qualcomm MSM8976 Snapdragon 652 (28 nm) - T719N chipset. It comes with a 4000 mAh battery. At AED 699 in the UAE and ₹14,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 dazzles with its 8.0-inch Super AMOLED display at 1536x2048 resolution, delivering deep blacks and vivid colors, though its 60Hz refresh rate feels dated. Powered by an octa-core chipset with Cortex-A72 cores, it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly, but lacks stylus support, limiting creative workflows. At 265g, it’s portable but the 4000mAh battery struggles under heavy use, lasting barely 6 hours with video streaming. Running Android 6.0.1 with no official updates beyond Nougat, app compatibility dwindles. In UAE at AED 699, it’s value because the screen outshines most rivals in this price bracket. In India at ₹14999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Lenovo Tab M10 offer newer OS, better battery, and stylus support for less. This tablet is a screen-first relic: beautiful to look at, but outdated in function. Buy only if you need a compact, vibrant display for passive media and nothing else.
