Samsung Tab S2 Gets Wi-Fi / Bluetooth Certification, Coming This Summer


SamsungTabS2Samsung's successor to the Galaxy Tab S, which did great after its release last August for having a seriously bright display, is rumored to arrive just around the corner. Dubbed the Galaxy Tab S2, part of the latest rumors include its two size options, as well as news of it earning Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 certification. Apparently the tablet is going through GFX benchmarks and other verifications in preparation to soon be hitting the market, an arrival many consumers have been anticipating for a while now.

Before we get into fun specifications, let us reflect on the Bluetooth certification. Bluetooth 4.1 is the latest Bluetooth low-energy technology, so it will be exciting to see it used in mobile devices right away. Another exciting upgrade will be the even better display. The Tab S of 2014 impressed consumers with its 2,560 x 1,600 pixel count resolution, but this flagship will sport a 2048 x 1536 resolution. Almost sounds like a bummer, considering these new tablets are different sizes. They are both smaller than their 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch bigger brothers. But, since the new Tab S2 is rumored to come in both 8-inch and 9.7-inch variants, that 2048 x 1536 Super AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 4:3 will still be a crowd pleaser.

SamsungTabS2-1As for the other tid bits, we do know the Tab S2 will run an Exynos 5433 CPU, come with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (expandable to 128GB via microSD), a 3850mAh battery (and a 5,870mAh battery for the larger model), run Android 5.0.2, and “probably” get an 8MP front facing camera and 2.1MP “selfie shooter”. Along with current benchmark tests, it is said to first be released in India for verification and testing, with an official launch happening very soon. Like, the coming summer months soon.
