Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 LTE (3GB + 64GB) is an ultra-slim 5.6mm tablet featuring a high-resolution 8-inch Super AMOLED display (2048 x 1536) with a 4:3 aspect ratio, powered by an octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM. Its primary advantages include a remarkably lightweight 272g frame that offers exceptional portability, a vibrant screen optimized for reading and web browsing, and integrated LTE connectivity for on-the-go data and voice calls. However, its thin design results in a relatively modest 4,000mAh battery that may require frequent charging during heavy use, and the device lacks modern features like NFC and a notification LED.
