Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S2 is slimmer, smaller and squarer


Samsung has revealed its new 8-inch and 9.7-inch Galaxy Tab S2 models, and it has changed direction considerably over last year. As revealed by a leak yesterday, it shrunk both of last year’s models and killed the widescreen (16 x 9) aspect ratio, instead giving them an iPad-like 4 x 3 format. The company said that’ll help “recreate the viewing experience of browsing through traditional print media,” and make it easier to read e-books and web pages. On the other hand, less of the screen is now available for watching movies, particularly since both Galaxy Tab S2 models have also taken a minor step down in resolution from QuadHD to 2,048 x 1,536.

Obviously, Samsung thinks people use their tablets for reading more often than watching movies. It’s placed extra emphasis on that with the new Super AMOLED screen, which has a reading mode that “modifies the screen’s brightness level to help users read content for longer periods of time.” Helping as well is the fact that both models have slimmed down to 5.6mm and weigh in at 0.85 pounds (9.7-inch) and 0.56 pounds (8-inch). That’s a millimeter thinner and about 10 percent lighter than before.

Spec-wise, new model is a nice leap over last year. The Tab S2 has an 8-core chip running at 1.9Ghz/1.3Ghz, likely the Exynos 5433 used in the Galaxy Note 4 (but not the Galaxy S6’s top-of-the-line Exynos 7420, as rumored). Other specs include 3GB of RAM, 32/64GB memory (expandable via MicroSD) and 5,870 mAh/4,000 mAh batteries. Those cells are considerably smaller than before, but then again, they won’t have to drive nearly as many pixels on the lower-res AMOLED screens. Meanwhile, the Tab S2 has a built-in fingerprint scanner like last year’s model, and will run Android 5 Lollipop with Samsung’s latest, toned-down version of TouchWiz.

The Galaxy Tab S2 will launch next month, but Samsung hasn’t said how much it’ll cost yet. Last year, however, it ran $400 and $500 for the smaller and larger models, respectively.

Drones are pestering Spain’s royal family


Spain's King and Queen

France isn’t the only European country grappling with suspicious drone flights, it seems. Reportedly, guards at the Spanish royal family’s La Zarzuela palace have spotted numerous robotic aircraft flying through its airspace at night, including the residences. That’s bad enough by itself, but the kicker is that radio jamming isn’t working — short of breaking out guns, the guards can’t just bring these machines down.

There aren’t any telltale clues as to who’s responsibility, and the palace isn’t commenting. While paparazzi seem like an obvious answer, nighttime doesn’t really provide the best conditions for taking photos of the King and Queen. There’s also a concern that terrorism might be afoot, but the pilots could just as easily be activists, pranksters or even curious locals. Either way, it looks like Spain will have to follow the lead of other countries and tighten its anti-drone measures around high-security areas.

Samsung officially announces the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and 9.7

Yesterday, some press renders of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and 9.7 leaked early, but it doesn’t seem to matter much as Samsung has today officially announced the devices. Hailing them as the “essential tablet for experiencing digital content“, the Galaxy Tab S2 tablets have adopted an iPad-esque approach this time around – doing away with the original Tab S’s 16:10 ratio display, the Tab S2 adopts the 4:3 resolution ratio that the iPads have made so popular. Notably, both the 8.0 and 9.7 variants are only available in portrait orientation (last year, the 10.5 Tab S was landscape oriented).

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and 9.7As expected, the Tab S2 tablets utilize the same chip as the Galaxy S6, the Exynos 7420, and both have 3GB RAM and 32 and 64GB storage variants. In fact, apart from the battery capacity and physical size and shape of the two variants, the two tablets are pretty much exactly the same (think iPad and iPad Mini). One thing that Samsung is touting on its Tab S2 devices which will likely be a differentiator relative to the iPads are its Super AMOLED displays (2048×1536), widely accepted to be some of the best displays in the mobile device market. No pricing was confirmed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and 9.7, but Samsung says the devices will be available in August.

Massachusetts grills Uber and Lyft over disability access


An Uber car at an airport

Ridesharing outfits make some effort to accommodate disabled passengers, but Massachusetts isn’t sure that they go far enough. Reuters has learned that the state’s Attorney General is grilling Uber and Lyft over the levels of disability access they provide. There aren’t any official actions under way, but this is the first time that any US attorney general’s office has given accessibility a look. That’s bound to make the two companies nervous when both of them are facing lawsuits over their support for guide dogs and wheelchairs.

For its part, Uber says it both talks to lawmakers about accessibility and has a team “dedicated” to improving access. If Massachusetts presses for changes, there’s a real chance that it’ll get at least some concessions rather than face a legal battle. With that said, ridesharing companies have historically resisted measures that potentially hike their costs — we wouldn’t rule out some pushback if they believe the state is taking things too far.

Plastic roads may put asphalt to shame


VolkerWessels' plastic road

The days of putting up with crumbling asphalt streets might just come to an end. Construction company VolkerWessels has revealed plans for recycled plastic roads that are both more sustainable and more practical than old-fashioned blacktop. Besides reusing material, they’d last about three times longer and survive greater temperature ranges (between -40F and 176F) — despite their fragile look, they’re less likely to crack under the strain of vehicles or the weather. You can pre-assemble them to lay them down faster, too, and their hollow structure is handy for cabling and pipes.

This is just a concept at the moment, but VolkerWessels fully intends to test it and make sure that it holds up in the real world. That’s not idle talk, either. The Dutch city of Rotterdam is interested in trying out these plastic surfaces in its “street lab,” and the company hopes to have an honest-to-goodness route in operation within three years. If the idea still sounds outlandish, look at it this way: it’s likely the closest you’ll ever get to driving a Hot Wheels track in real life.

Samsung finally announces the Galaxy Tab S2 with 4:3 aspect ratio and microSD card slot


galaxy tab s2 white angleRumor after rumor has leaked about Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S successor, and it’s finally been announced. This announcement was much quieter than last year’s, although this tablet isn’t quite as exciting and groundbreaking as the original Tab S.

Appropriately titled the Galaxy Tab S2, this year’s version will come in two screen sizes. You’ll be able to pick between an 8.0-inch and 9.7-inch display, both with screen resolutions of 2048×1536. You might notice those numbers look a little different from last year, and you’d be right; these tablets have adopted a 4:3 aspect ratio, different from the widescreen view on the older generation Tab S. This is similar to the Galaxy Tab A line that Samsung has been selling this year.

Other hardware on the Tab S2 is top notch, which I’m sure everyone expected. The processor is a beefy octa-core Exynos 533 paired with 3 GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel/2.1 megapixel camera combination, and Android 5.0 with Samsung’s latest Touchwiz overlay. This includes an offer for 100 GB of Microsoft OneDrive storage, and support for Samsung’s themes that were introduced with the Galaxy S6. You’ll find 32 or 64 GB internal storage options, plus a microSD card slot with support for up to 128 GB cards. Samsung has also moved to a touch-based fingerprint scanner instead of the clunky swipe-based fingerprint scanner.

Samsung hasn’t announced pricing for these devices, but they’re set to go on sale next year. The original Tab S launched at $399 for the smaller screen and $499 for the larger screen, although this doesn’t account for larger storage options and optional LTE connectivity.

What are your thoughts on the new Galaxy Tab S2? The original 8.4-inch Tab S has been my daily driver for the past several months, and so far I haven’t seen much of a reason to upgrade. The newer fingerprint scanner is a nice touch, although I’m not a fan of the different aspect ratio, especially when it comes to watching videos.

You can find a gallery of images of the Tab S2 below, as well as Samsung’s full press release.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 officially announced: 4:3 SAMOLED, 5.6mm thin, on sale this August


285469_SM-T715_Black_black_Dynamic_Online_S

The LTE Galaxy Tab S2 8-inch (note the tell-tale earpiece for voice calls).

When Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and 10.5 last year, it drew quite a large amount of attention thanks in no small part to its beautiful Super AMOLED display, the largest ever produced by the company for a commercial product. The tablet brought with it many of the creature comforts from the Galaxy S5, including design cues, a swipe-based fingerprint reader for biometric security, and the latest TouchWiz features (at the time).

Thanks to a steady stream of leaks, we’ve technically known about the follow-up, the Galaxy Tab S2, for some time now. The past few weeks saw the stream of news turn into a relative title wave, and indeed the announcement rumor proved to be spot-on. Samsung has just officially announced the pair of products.

00_SM-T815_back_white_Standard_Online_S1

Here’s looking at you: while a metal frame will be used, the back is once again soft plastic. And where’s the camera flash?

The Galaxy Tab S2 comes in an 8-inch, and 9.7-inch variant, both of which employ a 4:3 aspect ratio 2048×1536 SAMOLED display, and will be available in LTE and Wi-Fi-only configurations. It features an Exynos 5433 Octa-core SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32 or 64GB of on-board storage, and an 8-megapixel rear, 2.1-megapixel front camera set-up (no flash, sorry). It will ship with Android 5.0.2 and features the same “touch-based” fingerprint sensor used in the Galaxy S6 and has support for microSD.

The 9.7-inch variant will include a 5,870mAh battery, and the 8-inch variant a 4,000mAh power-cell. Both devices will be available in either black or white, measure just 5.6mm thick and employ an aluminum frame, but soft-plastic rear panel. The smaller Tab S2 will, in LTE-configuration, include an earpiece for voice calls, however this feature is typically removed from the US carrier-based models.

The Galaxy Tab S2 will begin to hit stores next month. While no exact details have been provided, based on previous tablet releases we expect the LTE variant to release some weeks after the Wi-Fi model. Samsung’s press release declined to mention the exact cost of the device, however SamMobile is quoting the European prices as follows, presumably for the base-level 32GB configuration.

Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 Wi-Fi: €399  ($432)
Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 LTE: €469 ($508)
Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Wi-Fi: €499 ($540)
Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 LTE: €569 ($616)

It will be of particular interest to see how this product fares in the crowded tablet market, especially amid reports of lackluster global sales and the general malaise that some consumers might feel towards them. While the Galaxy Tab S2 is definitely the most impressive tablet Samsung has yet produced in terms of its slim profile and fantastic screen, there are a few curious elements as well that may play a part in determine just how strong the sales will be:

The lack of a rear-camera flash module is perplexing given how even last year’s Tab S models featured one. The decision to go with the Galaxy Note 4‘s Exynos 5433 processor instead of the new 7420 SoC from the Galaxy S6 is another issue, though largely one the general public will not be aware of. The use of a plastic back means that the product will still be viewed as having a lower build quality than all-metal competitors, and the 4:3 aspect ratio screen is going to be a problem for those who are keen on widescreen.

With that said, anyone looking for a new tablet will definitely want to consider picking up the Tab S2 when it hits stores next month. Leave us a comment below with your thoughts, as well as the size and configuration you will be picking up, if any.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is all the hype for Android fans across the globe. Many of us could agree that the Note line-up features Samsung’s true flagship smartphones year after year. These over-sized devices usually sport higher-end specs and a more refined design over the Galaxy S series. There is no shortage of rumors and leaks this year (just like every other). Our Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rumor roundup includes all kinds of juicy details, but we know many of you are more worried about how the device will actually look.

We have seen leaked images, renders and CAD designs but none of them quite give us a convincing look at the phone. Talented CAD artist Ivo Marić has taken these models and rumored design elements to create what could be the most realistic glance at the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

Disclaimer: while these photos look amazingly real, they are just renders Ivo Marić created from previously leaked data. These are to be treated as unofficial images and should only portray a representation of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5’s probable appearance.

With that out of the way, I need to say this guy is talented! I mean, these phone renders give off an appearance of being handled and even show what seems to be dirt. Let’s get back to the phone, though.

These renders incorporate the new design Samsung introduced with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The images show chamfered edges, a metal frame and glass on the front and back (which happens to be curved). There’s also an auto-ejecting S-Pen and your usual ports.

So there you have it! Just a quick look at what the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 may look like. It’s still a bummer to see that all evidence points toward the Note 5 letting go of a removable battery and microSD card support. The handset does look gorgeous, but is that enough? Sound off in the comments to give us your take on these renders.
