The Galaxy Tab S2 will launch in the country on August 6, Thursday. We will be there to cover the event so stay tuned.
This honestly would have been perfect if they used the current Exynos 7420 from the S6 instead of the 5433 from the Note 4. The iPads that Samsung is targeting have chipsets that are faster than they’re iPhone counterparts. I don’t see why Sammy can’t do the same.
That being said though, I highly doubt anyone will notice the difference in real world performance yet. But future proofing is a miss because of that processor. The screen on this thing will probably be the best ever though.
