I have the 2016 version. My battery life is pretty poor. I get just over 4 hours of screen on time with wifi on auto brightness. That's pretty bad.

Absolutely disappointed. Output was sluggish & now the sim tray stopped functioning. Company service centre says the entire mother board has to be changed that will cost me a bomb !! Chinese models for me in future.

Kevin, 18 Jun 2019I agree that they are expensive. I got lucky, though, as I bought a used one on eBay for 80 US... moreactually, it is not worth more than 80-usd.
Because :
1) It is stuck with Android-v7 (the 2016 model has only received 1 update),
2) Sound: With only 1 speaker, the sound is lacking! in quality, loudness, and on some units there are some disturbing resonances in the cabinet.
3) Slow: After some time, it gets extra slow ... know it sounds unlogical, with 8 cores and high-frequency-cpu, but this is the case.
4) The navigation-touchbuttons are very annoying: They often don't react, and Samsungs-UI will not allow them to light-up if you turn on battery-saving (medium/high battery saving).
5) Battery-Charging time: It takes forever to charge. We let it charge during the night, because we get frustrated waiting for it to charge during the day (it takes appr. 6-8 hours for a full charge ... even though the battery is only appr. 5800mAH).
6) General impression: The Tab-S2 does not feel like a flagship. It doesn't even come close to for-instance the Samsung-S7 (which has fast charging, has been upgraded form Android v6-to-v8, is much faster, has good navigation-buttons (and sw-control), and better sound than the 4-times bigger tab-S2!)

And Samsung stays 100% silent !!
Because of the lacking update to Orio/v8, I cannot wifi-roam. A sub-feature in v8, that for instance communicates a "hand-off" with the access-point, when the signal is getting "too low" and another access-point has a "strong signal".
Wifi-Roaming - explained :
I have 2 Asus-routers setup as Access-Points, and I have enabled their "roaming-assistent" feature, andhave adjusted their "hand-off" signal-level.
Below this signal-level (-65dB) all our units, except the Tab-S2, switches to the AP with a strong signal.
(our other units has got "Android-v8 and above" .. and I have cross-checked on the www plus with quite a lot of mobile-units, which led to my knowledge and conclusion! ... including iOS units (iPhone-SE & iPad-Mini2) which is "better", because Apple has got much better sys-upgrade support).
Sad for Samsung, that looses a lot of customers! / Marketshare, in the Tablet-market ... to Huawei and Apple!

Yasas_R, 23 Sep 2019I`ve been using my tab S2 9.7 since Sep 2015 and it still is doing awesome. Still didn`t feel ... moreyou are lucky, you don't have more "problems" with this not-Samsung-supported model.
Mine has gotten more and more sluggish ... maybe needing a "power-wash", like in the Chrome-world.
Plus more annoyances ...
