    Not interested in any non Note Tablet.
    Why the heck wouldn't they just make all Note tablets (and shut the mindless drones always chanting that they're copying Apple).
    I would buy only if they make a very high end Note tablet with screen at least 12.2 inches with at least 64gb of internal storage or preferably 128gb of internal storage, otherwise when my Note pro 12.2 dies, I'll be getting a Microsoft Surface.

      They might as well buy some ipad air 2 tablets. Repaint and then rebrand them as the samsung tab s2. But they might've already done so with this one.

          I personally always prefer horsepower over screen length any day. The CPU combo runs circles around the older tab s. Finally, I can't say Samsung is coping Apple but like it or not this is the direction that Google wants to go. I'm in for 1 in two days!

                Disappointed with Samsung. Didn't like that they reduced the resolution, changed the aspect ratio, and used last year's exynos chip. So went ahead and bought the Xperia Z4 tablet and wow its amazing. 10.1 IPS screen with 2560x1600 resolution (beautiful accurate colors), Snapdragon 810 with no heating issues, dust and water proof, weights the same as Tab S2. Runs really smooth and fast.

                    A Step backwards. I'm a happy owner of a Tab S 10.5. Yesterday, visit my friend an wanted to show him how to watch QHD media on YouTube in his brand new Apple iPad air 2, just to see how small the upper and lower bars make the media look... and it cannot even see the video in full res. So, this format is no good for watching videos...Everyone seems worried about processor and GPU speed, wich are no real deals from while ago.

                        Exynos 5433 inside Tab S 2 is running as 64bit or 32bit?

                          At this price point Surface 3 is better value IMO.

                                A choice between this and the OG Tab S is quite though. First, the speakers are in the worst position ever (the Tab S speakers had perfect placement). Second, where's the LED flash gone. Third, 16:10 IMO is a better choice for tablets. It's standard for movies (ish), similar to a laptop screen, I mean, 4:3 on a tablet isn't particularly enjoyable, and I wonder why Samsung shifted to this more boxy aspect ration. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

                                  Not sure why Samsung was always playing catching up game only with last year old iPad/Air. They should make a new 2015 Tab-S2 flagship tablet with hardwares much better then last year old iPad Air 2.

                                  Or was it Tab-S2 not Samsung 2015 flagship tablet? If so, then my advice to potential customer should passed on Tab-S2 and wait for the Samsung next flagship tablet model.
