Verdict

The 2016 refresh of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 4G (SM-T719) is a premium, ultra-slim tablet featuring an 8.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a 2048 x 1536 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio tailored for reading. This model is powered by a Snapdragon 652 octa-core processor paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage, supporting LTE connectivity for on-the-go use. Its main pros include an incredibly lightweight 267g design, a vibrant high-contrast screen, and a fast touch-based fingerprint sensor. However, it suffers from a relatively small 4,000mAh battery that leads to average battery life, and the screen's lower maximum brightness can make outdoor visibility challenging in direct sunlight.
