Hands down the BEST video on youtube comparing the two. Since everyone was talking about the worse battery life and screen resolution on the S2, I was wondering how it was considered an upgrade of any kind. Now I know.
the best review i have ever seen, i watched so many videos, but sakitech simply th honest ,reliable. .Other channels just talk specs , but this channel tells what those specs do in real world. God bless youtube. I think i go for s2..
i tried the tab s2 and the tab s. honestly, i ordered the tab s and i got a awesome experience with it. it has a better and bigger display, led flash,and it is just perfect !!!! i dont care if the s2 is newer and is thinner and lighter, l like the tab s more
I definitely like the tab S due to the aspect ratio. ..videos just look better in the wide screen aspect ratio. the only thing is that's better is the internal 32gb on the tab S 2
Me 2
Possibly the best review I've ever seen.
Dave Thompson.... I agree 100%
And under 15m
My Tab S 8.4 is on Oreo now. No Pie roms yet. Not sure if there are going to be any. Better check XDA.
Is it upgradable to oreo??
@@GuyfromEarth3000 Wait. Good catch. I am on Nougat. My bad. It has really good battery life now tho. Out of the box the Tab S 8.4 has terrible on screen time and battery life in general. But if you root it and flash a custom kernel/rom(I use Deathly kernel and Liquid Death OS rom) it really improves battery life and performance.
This is the rom I am currently using. forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/rom-liquiddeathos-sm-t700-t3554387
@@GuyfromEarth3000 There are a few Oreo roms tho I think. Just not for my model which is the SM-T700.
The screen picture is most important to me. I don't mind the plastic. I like the 16:10. That's just me.
this is by far the best comparison video i have ever seen! 👍
I'm pleased to see a 32gb min storage, it's criminal to supply only 16gb these days.
+Petras Anskaitis ha-ha nice one
+xMI55IONx yeah ecpessilly with samsung bloatware
why? Micro SD cards are dirt cheap. even the 256gb ones which the S 8.4 can take.
Digital West , because many apps you cannot move to sd, I am running out of memory on S, but S2 aspect ratio turned me off.
Yes I have an Samsung Tab E 9.6 which has 16gb, and I bought a 32gb micro Sd Card to get more storage because lets face it 16gb don't do anything. And I'm about to get an 64gb Micro Sd Card.
Amazing, clear, simple and very professional information. Thank you.
The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is the clear winner here! Samsung dropped the ball on this Tab S2 model because other than a slightly better processor, it fails in almost every other area.
Great review! Thanks! I'm gonna go the S2 since I do a lot of reading versus movie watching. Pity the flash was lost on the S2. Cheers!
Thank you for this great video. Could you please do me a favor? Could you try and see how the IGN app is displayed? On my Tab S 8.4 it can't be displayed on landscape mode, only portrait mode. In my iPad Mini I can see use it in landscape mode. What I would like to know is if the reason I can't use the landscape mode in my Tab S it's because the IGN app detects it a 16:10 screen and not a 4:3 one so that if I were to buy the S2 8.0 (4:3) I could use said IGN app in landscape mode. Thank you!
Nice comparison video but you forgot to test the built in speakers on both tablets. How loud are they and which has the better sound?
I was concerned about the S2's battery life, but this review put me at ease. Thanks!
I'm going for the s2; first time buyer. I'm only going to use it 3 days out of the week and only for Skype and Microsoft word and excel. I rely more on my iPhone for any other type of use. Lovely review!!
Thank you! You just saved me bunch of money, I'll just wait till the price-drop and buy the S.
Just sold my S 8.4 to get the S2.
I like what they have done and while you have a larger letterbox with the S2, the video comparison still shows the same amount of video on the screen, it is just stepped back a little more due to the aspect ration differences.
sakitech great job on the review and comparison. i was wondering which of the tabs to buy. your video made the decision much easier. thanks!
Excellent - possibly the best and unbiased review of both tablets that I've seen to date.
You couldn't get a better comparison. Nice job sakitech!
I prefer the S2
I know it's poor to watch videos,
but 4:3 ratio is pretty attractive to me.
The Tab S really hasn't gone down in price much at all. And I've seen the S2 discounted $100 a few times in the months since it was released.
Saki; thank you for giving me insight in regards to Samsung Tab S and Samsung Tab S2; I can now decide which to get for my tablet replacement for my Blackberry tablet, of which I've had for a couple of years which were the best years hehe.
Thanks for a very good review, one of the best I've seen. However, what is it about the sound quality that it never is approached? Why the silence about sound?
What is that great nature showcase that you are using in the comparison...can I have the link for it please? Thanks
If you take photographs of near objects, a flash is immensely useful. Otherwise you will have the device casting shadows on your object. I am buying the Tab S because S2 does not have a flash.
Hi. In terms of speakers sound quality and loudness which is better between this and the iPad Mini 3 or Asus Zenpad S 8.0?
Thank you for the clear explanations. I'm going down now to upgrade my tab s to tab s2
Great detailed video. One question, in the USA I can't find anywhere to purchase the s2 (LTE). I looked on Amazon, Best Buy, & Samsung's own site & I can't find the LTE model anywhere, any ideas, thanks.
Thanks for a great review, I`m looking for a tablet for my sons Christmas box and i found this very useful.
Good comparison! Very complete and detailed with information on both products on the same frames. Nice work!
all I care about these two is aspect ratio! tab s for movies!
+dilworth6113 full screen
Great review thanks, been having loads of issues with the Tab S and its currently at samsung for repairs...for the third time...seems S2 is the way to go..
nice... great comparison of two great products... i own a tab s cant go wrong... but if i was upgrade it would be for a lager screen as i need it for work... related purpose...
Gonna wait for the Tab S3. Outside of the aspect ratio change, the changes seemed more cosmetic than real game changing. I expect to see the Tab S3 have some really new game changing features like a QHD screen with rounded sides or something. Great Review either way though.
Thanks for this very useful comparison. One minor observation however, at 13:30m you say they have the same amount of RAM. They don't, the S2 has 32Gb ie. double the 16Gb of the S. Other than that, this is a good video, well done!
This was a really great comparison. not bias at all
Really amazing and detailed valueble video that I had ever watch. Thanks. Keep going on this way. Hayder.
Very nice presentation. Concise, useful and to the point. Many thanks and well done.
Is it true that the USB connector on the S2 is a micro USB type A and on the S micro USB type B like all the smartphones uses
Personally find reading in 16:10 better than 4:3 because im less likely to skip reading lines when Im tired. 4:3 is only better for portrait typing and portrait browing, but thats not a big deal if ou just rotate it...
Great Comparison, I have a BIG deciding factor for me, I HAVE the Tab S 10.5 and the VIEWING angles are great, but I got the Tab S 8.4 a couple weeks ago, and the Tab S 8.4 had bad viewing angles, how is the Tab S2 8.0 in this regard? THANKS SO MUCH.
+Josh JP
S10.5 is a true RGB AMOLED while S8.4 and both S2's are pentile RGBG AMOLED.
Great video Saki!
The older Tab S is a super Tab! I have the 10.5 inch, super smooth in every aspect. But the most important reason for me staying on the older, is the battery at 7900mAh. I believe the bigger S2's battery is only about 5300mAh.
And the 16:10 res is by far the better in my book, since it's much better for movies/videos. But actually also for reading and browsing social media. I kinda like the narrow reading format, more newspaper like, if you will.
Thanks you saved me some money i was thinking on getting this but wasnt sure..sticking with my S8.4 best tablet i have...why have Samsung decided to get rid of the IR blaster on some of there devices and wheres the flash...its like there cutting back..only thing i wish i had on my S8.4 was more ram...16gb just doesnt cut it...would like to see what the picture size is like from the S2 9.7 compared to the S8.4 screen..to see if the bigger size of the S2 9.7 would be worth getting instead of the S2 8 version.
if you want to play games take the s2 because of the SoC, i do have the s 8.4 and it's nice, but i notice light lag on games like and the same with the UI (not much lag but s2 feels quicker in terms Of openning apps an loading webpages)
One of the absolute best reviews ive seen
so ... i understand that Samsung has changed/replaced the TAB S line appearence, i would say that it's a bad move on their part.
i would keep both form factors, or ... the TAB S2 8.4 inch (16:10/16:9 aspect ratio), and the the TAB S2 9.7 (4:3 aspect ratio).
Play games experience could be nice for gamers to make their selection! I enjoy a lot to get clean and simple main point from the video, indeed.
It's really a very good comparison review. It has helped me to make a decision. Thanks a lot!
Hai .. Saki does tab s2 support quick charging ? .. I'm currently using tab s 8.2. It's take about 3 hours to full charge ..
very nice comparison review! well done you! very detailed. gave you a thumbs up!
When I looked at this at bb the s2's edge felt really sharp. But it's hard to tell when they have a 2" anti-theft tether. Does yours feel sharp?
its actually strange because a few retailers are offering the tab s2 8 inch white for £260 atm whilst the Tab S I've seen 8.4 16gb around £299, so I think I'll go for the S2 although I am disappointed that the gold isn't on offer
Hi. May I know which one sounds better? which one is louder?
the split screen feature works also on the WIFI version???
Plastic feels better than metal borders!
How long does it take for the s2 battery to be fully loaded? cause i have an 10.1 2014 and the battery is just fcked up even when its charging while i am watching something the advice will die because its just charging wayyy to slow =(
if samsung would've not wanted to jump on apples bandwagon of 4:3 aspect ratios and stuck with their 16:10 on the s2 hands down everyone would've wanted it even more
Nice review. It was very informative and precise. Best on CZcams.
Thx for the review, i really enjoy ur video, no crazy stuff, right to the point, keep the great work :)
is the pre-installed ms office on the S2 a full version or is it the same as the one we can download for free in the playstore?
I have the tab s 8.4 android 5.02 why is the 0S using more then 1gb of ram ?
Thank you very much for this comprehensive comparison!
Thanks. Now I feel better with my SM-T805. This 10.5 screen is best for me, I'm not much into reading, more into videos with my Tablet. I wanted bigger, and the Tab S 10.5 is best for my bucks.
Which Samsung Phones work well with the mirroring?
Perfect comparison !!! Thanks a lot ! Tab S 8.4 is a way better than Tab S2 ! Tab S2 has better score on benchmark but in practice it's not a big difference , while gaming for example !
If there was a tab s2 10,5+ inch with 16:10 ratio i would be in love. The metal premium case and the updated processor but sadly i think they screwed up with this one.
I just bought the S8.4 a couple of months ago and I don't regreat it
glad to know i'm not alone.
+UlysSes Rivera y onlly 1 thing chance actually cpu and u don't care about games so am i.You ll never regret
I know right Samsung what in the world world were you all thinking, it does have a nicer build and fingerprint scanner but it has too many shortcomings, Smaller screen, lower resolution, smaller battery, removed the IR blaster, removed the camera flash, barely any performance upgrade. Try again Samsung with Tab S3
+flap jack plus 8x5 aspect ratio is way better
+Super1di0t Not for watching videos it's not
Thanks for the great review. You helped me make my decision..
Your comparison video is excellent! Thank you.
Excellent comparison done. Very helpful Thanks.
On the benchmark the android versions were different hard to see, but might have some affect in processing power and in the scores.
I hope you can do another comparison between the tab s2 8.0 vs the tab s 8.4 which runs on a snapdragon chipset and not the exynos variant. thanks!
love your videos... can you compare they with IPAD MINI 4??
Great review between the two products. I decided on the Tab S 8.4" as it is pretty much 90% the same product outside of the screen ratio. I prefer the 16:10 ratio despite the S2 being slightly faster in processor speed. Plus I just saved myself about $50.
I have the Tab S and Tab S2. My Tab S2 displays a noticible color shift if I tilt it; I first noticed this while reading a book; I tilted the display slightly away from me and the white background became bluish; my Tab S does not exhibit this odd characteristic. If anyone has had a similar experience, please post a reply. Thank you.
Very well done comparison, thank you, good video
Is there a difference in s an s2 ?some say s2 is 64bit ! Does it make real difference?
thanks a lot ur review clear my doubt which one should i get :)
Here's the deal: in my country the new Galaxy Tab S2 8" WIFI is $598. The previous generation Galaxy Tab S 8.4" WIFI is $398. Also the Galaxy Tab A 8" WIFI with S-pen is $398. Should I go with the 2015 Tab A or the 2014 Tab S since both are same price $398?
s tab 8.4 is much better...
I agree
the s has a better screen
the s is better aspect ratio
which for me is important
in just got an S2 8 to replace my S 8.4
idk why I did it, watching CZcams is better on the tab s
***** elinas eisai?
Yeah ik i actually regret what i said the tab s2 is much better
Re to onoma sou einai Dimi(dimitri) kai Trelos
although the tab s 8.4 is the best so far, I would advice you to get the s2 8.0.
why? 1) because only the s2 will get the marshmallow update
2) when the Samsung Galaxy tab comes out (most likely by mid 2016), you will get a good sale deal because it's newer than the tab s 8.4 . just list it on ebay.
so if you want the new best thing .lol . get tab s2. but if you want the best best thing especially for movies and multitasking, get tab s 8.4.
great presentation with great content....many thanks
Thank youuuuu, I bought tab s2, for read books and he is more light, same price of tab S in 2018 or more expancive than S2, is off line, you only find it used, and 16x32gb tab s2 with 5433x 5420 of S1, I like the long screen of the S1 but to carry in the hand, I am small, the s2 appears less, in Brazil we have serious problems with bandits, unfortunately.
I think the tab s 2 is a bit of a failure, going with an ipad aspect ratio just ruins it. 16.9 was the best. the only thing that is good about the tab s is the processor but even then it's slower than the Ipad Air 2 as the geekbench for that is 4529 and that tablet is a year old. Sticking with my Tab S 10.5 for sure.
+Joe Pinder so true.. i was going with the s2 till i realized the aspect ratio issues. I really wanted an amoled tablet to use as my daily driver..
+nemesissisemen yeah, 16.9 is the way too go. I think the Tab S2 was a gamble for Samsung, I mean there was no adverts or big release for it like the original Tab S. Hopefully the Tab S3 goes back to 16.9 but I'd go for the First gen Tab S. It's still very quick ( keeps up with my iPhone 6 ) and still has the super AMOLED screen. Looks amazing!!
+Joe Pinder Yea the first gen tab S is ok but i cant bring myself to justify its purchase now, both with it being released over a year ago and even though it is fast, the S2 and other tabs available now outperform it by a significant amount.. my first tab was the tab 7.7 with its beautiful amoled screen, then got the note 2 but felt it was small since i got used to a tab now hoping for another tab.. looks like i'll fall back to my initial choice, the mediapad x2 and see what sammy does next year with their tabs, the x2 has a weak software offering on stock and no amoled screen of course but with its performance and some rooting and romming and third party apps, i might make it work out.. sigh.. no amoled.. ah well, thx for the info man..
+Joe Pinder 16.9 is only good for videos.
+Joe Pinder tab s 1 is 16:10 not 16:9
The tab s2 to me is a huge let down. I want a new tablet but I think I will have to go with the older version. The new aspect ratio is a deal breaker. My question is the tab s you have in the video had lollipop but does it have the multi window option like you showed on the tab s2.
yes
my tab S is displaying lines of light and shuts off. sometimes it get stuck in this cycle. should I upgrade to a tab s2 or buy a new tab S?
kaisofine, did you get a new S or S2?
thanks im french and you help me a lot.
weng with the S2. Before you guys go crazy I have used an S and I just like the Tab S2 much better and thats better in my opinion. The screen "looks" better. Camera is better. Speed is leaps and bounds better. Battery life is a little better. All those considered it is the better buy for me. Plus the Tab S2 LTE costs the equivalent of $380 in my country and the S costs an equivalent of $300. So both are pretty affordable

I love my Galaxy Tab S1, and will continue to stick with it, but there's only one issue i have with it, and that is the storage. 16GB is not enough to keep everything on there. Infact i had to reset the system because something was taking up the entire storage, and i couldn't do anything from download apps, updates or even take photos. I couldn't figure it out what it was. Now that i did, i have a few GB's left.
+Bigsteelguy4 U can us sd cards :)
+ahmed rahiq he sad cant till what is really taking that storge :)
ahmed rahiq
Yes i know, but i couldn't do anything with it as the main storage was used up by something i couldn't find. It wouldn't even let me update the system or the apps. That's why 16GB isn't a good amount of space. I already had a 64GB sd card inside, so there are no problems there.
you can get a sd card thing that can add a lot of gigs I think the highst is 128 but some come like a lot like 60
+Bigsteelguy4 Have you transferd all the possible apps and files from the internal to the micro SD card?
Bought the Tab S2 8.0 and Im so happy ;)
+Jasonz Gamez can it play gta sa,vc,3,ctw,graphicly hungry games?
+Alvaro Bonilla
'course it can.
for tab s 8.4" is octa core, but in the other said that is quad core ?
Damn, you know how to do a review. Spectacular. You sold me on the older version. The deal breaker was the aspect ratio. I don't like the 4.3.
good job. i am getting the tab s. thanks
the icon its a updates?? on tab s2
thank you for the nice video it helped a lot keep up the good work👍👍
Hey my friend no video on the Huawei mediapad M3 tablet
very good comparison .. thank you
just wanted to point out something you clearly missed at your final conclusion even though it's rather obvious: do go for the Tab S 8.4 instead of the new model if you are planning on using the device for video watching more than book reading...! also, I kind of missed some content on the fact that multi tasking on a 4:3 is rather less useful than on a 16:10 (more feeling of working space, that is why most professional offices have 16:10 screens nowadays...)
