+Killa Konnections I went with the iPad Air 2 (Simply because it was on a crazy sale at a local store) and I am already regretting it. I knew before hand of Apples planned obsolesce through updates, but I never knew it was this bad. On iOS 8 it was fine some lags and stutters here and there, but after "updating" to ios 9.2 it's now already laggy as fck and I highly doubt it's going to get better ever knowing Apples history with their so-called updates.... -.- And the worst thing is I can't even go back to iOS 8, because Apple doesn't allow that..
Clementine Go ahead to the home screen, swipe down with your finger, boom, lag (actually stutter is a better word)... Also the app switcher get laggy when you have more than 2 apps open. And then there is the annoying micro stutter all over the system, inSafari it's visible when you pinch to zoom -> microstutter...
Clementine To me it seems more like you are the troll without any arguments whatsoever... And you prove it already when you said you never had lag with ios9 (if you actually own an Air 2 then you wouldn't be saying that...).
Clementine Why do you think I would give a shit about whether you think I own an ipad air 2 or not.. Just read this; I can prove that the ios 9.2 update has major stutters across the board, Can you prove that it doesn't? Or why do you even think there are so many people complaining about the ios 9.2 along with me.
My wife wants a Ipad air 2 but I am an android fan. Thanks for the detailed review/comparison and your personal thoughts on both devices and I think, this time, I should listen to my wife :) thumbs up from Australia mate!
tab s2 has much better screen. i also like the touch sensitive back button, its very handy.tab s2 will connect via usb to a computer to transfer files (ipad is anti copying files)tab s2 has 32 gb base option, ipad air only has 16gb then 64gb option ( apple want your money so charge a fortune for memory)widgets on android are great , they allow you to personalise your device (ipad is just an icon holder)
Good comparison, you can set the Tab S2 screen off adaptive mode to more natural colors with basic mode setting I think it is. It's under display, screen mode if I remember correctly.
doesnt the galaxy tab s2 have expandable memory if so that mightve been a key factor to mention also i like the review and how you didnt rely on which os each device was using but when you do a comparison the os is necessary beyond almost all the facts you gave
Good review! My decision was between Galaxy S2 8 and iPad Mini 4, both 8". The micro-sd card slot for extra storage was a great attraction on the Galaxy. But I went for the iPad for the special camera & video functions. Time lapse, burst mode, and slow motion video are all functions I can use. However, I would be happy with either, both are quality products.
I would probably go for Apple. As much as a android fan I am, I would still get a iPad when it comes to tablets. I don't even trust Samsung when it comes to software updates compared to the Air 2 which will just keep getting the newer OS for many more years. Also, theoretically the iPad with its A8X has the faster SoC compared to the exynos but in the end, it all comes down to personal preference just like you said.
+Clementine Pointed out the stutters there. Those that did not exist in iOS8. Even the reviewer on this video mentions the lag 11:33 Btw your comments don't seem to be visible on the Comment section anymore, so I believe you got shadowbanned by UA-cam, probably for spamming, i.e copy pasting the same comment.
***** Yeah, sadly I guess that is the only solution for the iPad. I will probably downgrade it back to ios 8 if someone manages to jailbreak ios 9.2. I do appreciate the fact that a Samsung tablet/phone can be fixed by installing a better ROM and still be on the latest OS, but that's not possible on iOS devices thanks to closed source.
+4nlimited3dition You obviously haven't owned a new Samsung device have you? Samsung has been using Knox security since the Galaxy s4 which locks the bootloader even more and if you taper with it your warranty is void. Also if Samsung doesn't release the source code for their own hardware like their exyonos SoC so their hasn't been any custom rom developments since the S5.
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab s2 and it's great and my friend/neighbour has an ipad air 2 and it's great too.We have the same speed on both devices nearly.
I'm a die hard Android user, but I have to say currently iPad is still the best "entertaining" tablet on the market(I own a Surface Pro 3 too, but it is just not that idea as a tablet). Apps, build quality, durability, future support, none of them top iPad now. For phone, Android please, period. If you still want to choose Samsung's tablet, please install AOSP on it, don't let CrapWiz ruin it's amazing hardware!
Great review Damir,by the way,to play intensive games like asphalt 8,nova 3,modern combat..etc,at how many ghz the processor should be clocked..?just wanted to know..including RAM...
Hey Damir, I'm a die hard Android fan as well and have always owned an android phone, till date. I am planning on getting a tablet as well and was looking to purchase the galaxy s2, due to its display. I was wondering though, would you say that games are okay on the s2 as well?
You know... as technology continues to advance; its becoming increasingly less significant as to which device you own. They've both come so far over the years; I could take any one of these and be very happy with what I have. But hey, perhaps it's just me; maybe I've just hit that point where neither ones difference rocks me toward the other... I simply don't care because they've both gained such large advancements that it renders any kind of review practically useless.
What is the price difference? I''m actually looking forward to the Tab S3 hoping it would have the S pen. I have the 8 inch Tab A with S pen and I take it everywhere.
I really wish that the Tab S2 kept the IR blaster (TV remote control). I don't understand why Samsung is removing IR blasters from all of its newer products, can someone please explain if you know why?
+Damir Franc I'm the opposite which just shows that different people like different devices. I have used a few android tablets and the surface pro 4. I hated android as it just confused me. I wanted so much to like the surface but the battery life and lack of touchscreen apps made me return it. I don't feel like I'm using a mobile device with the pro as there are just so many apps that do everything you can think of. I haven't used my MacBook since I have bought my pro. It does everything I need it to.
PSA: You have to download Samsung Game tuner if your games are blurry or low resolution. Look in the play store!! You can set the games for higher or lower resolution and fps up to 60
This is a really nice review. I like both android and iOS. What I love is using Google's services on Apple devices. THATS a really good experience. Nothing compares to Drive and Google docs on the cloud out there, and the hardware is great on the apple's side. I had a Nexus 9 which I loved, but the hardware has Nothing to do with the ipad's. S2 screen looks gorgeus though. I'll have a hard time choosing when my ipad air 2 expires... that will be... 2022?
If I knew the Samsung would get Marshmallow then maybe I would and that's saying something as I can't stand Touchwiz. Doze would fix the standby issues. I'd have Nova launcher over it in a flash! Hardware looks great. iPad too is fantastic but I live more in chrome and android now so unless i flip back then doesn't make as much sense.
My only android tablet I have had is the Nvidia Shield and after iPad levels of standby took some getting used to having to turn it off all the time so I didn't return to a dead tablet :-/
so clearly the winner for me is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 I still use the iPad Air 2 Day 2 Day but I can't put down the Galaxy Tab S2 the screen is just amazing absolutely the winner for me I am just a sucker for bright Punchy colors sharp crisp movies Andrew black it looks great watching movies at night because the black like I said is true black
Winner Galaxy Tab S2. Hands down. What I find quite odd with some of these reviews is the lack of mention of customizability. The android platform via Samsung offers far greater feature rich options which are ignored. For instance, the customization of Battery use! A very important feature which clearly increases the battery life from 3 flexible options depending on preference without affecting performance per comparison. Same goes for 'colour contrast'. Various options are offered for a Natural appeal, a dynamic appeal, etc. Likewise numerous other self-preferential options are available to truly make it a personal-perfect experience. Again the reviewer compares sound quality and does not show how TAB S2 offers options to change Sound effectiveness, which after changing my sisters Tab, gave phenomenal results. The configurability of android devices is something reviewers should not ignore as it deliberately limits the comparison to an unfair standard of output.
dudes which tablet would u prefer for school and netflix... Ipad Air 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S2?? I just need it for some ebooks and documents and watching some movies from netflix...
My wife and I both have the Tab S2, they have an amazing display, I have not noticed any lag issues at all, except with hi res. topo mapping software and it's very small, no surprise there, but they run map software about as fast if not faster than my I5 HP laptop. The displays dynamic contrast was nice, when you need it brighter for videos or movies. The other strong reason I prefer the Tab S2 is the external memory. 128 gb is plenty for all the videos and files, but down the road it is nice to be able to expand.
+Theresa Shores Well as far as the video the Tab S2 sports a 64 bit twin-quad, or octocore processor that supposedly switches between the two quad cores depending on the data throughput demand, aside from that the 2K ( 2 x HD) display is amazing. Nothing against apple awesome products, and an awesome company, I personally feel bit for bit and pixel for pixel the Tab S2 is a better deal.
+Damir Franc I guess not really demanding in the graphics department, but processing power is important for running chess engines (stockfish, houdini).
More than good enough very helpful Samsung should hire you lol. I'm mostly an ios user with an iphone and macbook but I love the customization you can have with Samsung products. I'll def have to pick this up
Outdoor use??? Definitely ipad air 2. Because of its antiglare screen. The white light is reflected very less and gives bluish reflection which is far better than samsung, which reflects lots of lights and glares.
+Damir Franc I really disagree,I had ipad air 1 and other tablets and dident have for me this issue,more I will say you dont have this problem with the tab s2, and I am Apple guy jiji,good video
I use Tab s2 to watch movie on the plane. It's really annoying to see huge black bar on both sides. That's including watch youtude and Netflix in the hotel as well. I'm puzzled about why most of the interview did not mention about such. I just here to remind if you want to buy these 2 devices to watch movie, this is the point to watch out. After all, it's our hard earning money to spent.
+Damir Franc Common sense? Zoom in to get the whole picture and lose some part of video? why didn't I think of that? Yes, I should get Sony Z4 Tablet for the ratio. Is that why you didn't demo any movie playing? Wow. Sorry being stupid. I guess your review is way too smart for me. I just express some general comments, you don't have to come strong on me.
I (kinda) own both and appreciate both... the s2 is owned by my mom but she rarely uses it For s2 i like the video quality, for air 2 i like it on gaming
Pretty fair video. I like the iPad because I'm invested in that ecosystem and everything works well together. I had the s2 and thought it was great but I missed how the iPad worked with my iPhone and Apple TV etc. however the s2 is a great tablet especially if you have a recent Samsung phone !
+Damir Franc it's a great program that you can even put on your pc. It basically lets you have a mirror image of your phone with full functionality on your tablet or computer. I find it pretty cool. I have a note 5 and a Samsung tab A and it works well. I just can't make up my mind which os I like, they both have pros and cons.
+Damir Franc your exactly right it really depends on your needs. I got the tab A after returning the s2 because of the price difference and because I knew I would use my iPad mini 4 more since my boss uses idevices it's just easier for us to interface files and material being on the same OS. Honestly I love both OS's and I have to admit that Samsung displays are amazing with the colors and Apple retina screen are beautiful too. I love both companies and it's great for the consumers for them to compete and bring innovation to tech. Man keep up the good work!!!!!
I might just get an ipad for the fkss of it if it cost the same, but as it happens, it doesn't. There's no competition if you look at the market prices.
i wanted to buy an i pad .But both seems butter smooth . iam bit confused ,i know android lags after installing new apps [happens to most of samsung phones ] what about i pad , inever used an ios device before please help honestly . design wise i pad is simple and elegant its a piece of art that never gets old , screen i think Koreans scored. i want to see apples oled retina screen lol. But i know what to get. i will go with my guts . beauty and the beast . i prefer beauty.
+Damir Franc thank you for answering,I am deciding which of the two to buy.I just want a tablet that works fast,does not lag and has a good screen.Gaming 3d performance is not so important.I have heard that tab s2 makes eyes get tired even after 15-20 minutes.What advice would you give to me?It is so hard to choose between the 2 monsters!)
I really can't choose ! I use to have an Iphone, I have a Macbook pro, I am an real mac user, but I am a bit disappointed with Mac products now for more reasons... I bought a samsung galaxy S5 and it's a pretty good machine, then, lolipop came out and my device start lagging as F ! i have to close apps every 2 hours, close execution apps and stuffs. I'm very worried about how the galaxy tab S2 will age, will it lag like my S5, when a new softwear will came out, would it lose half of his capacity ? Christmas is coming soon, please help me to chose one :) It really like the S2 btw, I just need a little more to decide. Thanks. sorry for my english I'm a potato ^^
If I read between the lines, you're saying that, it's inevitable that the S2 will, at some point, lag one day, like my S5 ? I know that apple never lag, my gf has an ipad air and it never lag, even after many softwear update. I tried every thing with my S5, reset it, put all my apps and photos on the sd card ( lag less ) but still... 400euros for a device that lag and become very hot after update to lolipop.. any way. With experience that you have, would you rather say that the S2 age more with update and long use than the ipad 2 air ? And do you think that, having the possibility to add more memory with SD card, the fact that it's lighter, and taking into account all the quality of the S2, worth the blow of getting one even if... maybe one day, it will lag. ? Thanks you for answering me :) +1 sub ^^
+Damir Franc yeah no storage problem since i also use a server at home .. but what do you mean by lag ??? mine has the 9.2 update and still smooth as butter !
Air 2 is fast. Even runs smoother then my new Tab S3. Who would've thought that? Samsung has beautiful screen but would go with the smoother device. Better design apps on iPad also.
Hi, was wondering if anyone knows if Samsung have fixed problem with their battery life. Had Samsung Tab 3 and just right after a year the battery would go dead and tablet would tell me I had 70% remaining battery and tablet would still go dead with in min's! Was reading that dis was a problem with their Samsung Tab 2 as well!
+Damir Franc Samsung have had at least 1 or 2 tabs out since tab 3! plus I've had same issue with my tab 3 as well. so I'm wondering d same as well! if they want fixed that problem with tabs after tab 3 was out.
Great review Damir. You make the kind of reviews that reviewers like to watch.
I'd go with samsung just because i love their displays. Deep blacks and vibrant colors great for media consumption

Good comparison, you can set the Tab S2 screen off adaptive mode to more natural colors with basic mode setting I think it is. It's under display, screen mode if I remember correctly.
+Damir Franc Really? Oh that's plain stupid of Samsung. At least my Note 5 still has it, hope it's added with an update.

Sure I just got home.

Good review! My decision was between Galaxy S2 8 and iPad Mini 4, both 8". The micro-sd card slot for extra storage was a great attraction on the Galaxy. But I went for the iPad for the special camera & video functions. Time lapse, burst mode, and slow motion video are all functions I can use. However, I would be happy with either, both are quality products.
+surfing636 I never thought camera would be a deciding factor for some people in buying a tablet. I never use the cameras on my tablets
+root8ble U2
camera a deciding factor when using a tablet? WOW
Great review. And I like that you compare 2 tablets and not compare android and iOS.
that might be true but he focused on the specs instead of the os
I would probably go for Apple. As much as a android fan I am, I would still get a iPad when it comes to tablets. I don't even trust Samsung when it comes to software updates compared to the Air 2 which will just keep getting the newer OS for many more years.

I agree
+blueman24 Except when every new iOS update just slows your device down, more and more. I notice this already on the air 2 with ios 9.2.
+Clementine Pointed out the stutters there. Those that did not exist in iOS8. Even the reviewer on this video mentions the lag 11:33 Btw your comments don't seem to be visible on the Comment section anymore, so I believe you got shadowbanned by UA-cam, probably for spamming, i.e copy pasting the same comment.

+4nlimited3dition
You obviously haven't owned a new Samsung device have you?
Samsung has been using Knox security since the Galaxy s4 which locks the bootloader even more and if you taper with it your warranty is void.
Also if Samsung doesn't release the source code for their own hardware like their exyonos SoC so their hasn't been any custom rom developments since the S5.
Damir! To make the comparison easier and more objective, please, install the same background picture on both gadgets!!
Love my Tab S2 with the micro SD card it's clearly the winner.
+dinof3able
It is? Thanks, I'll alert the media. :-)
+tscooter22 You do that! :)
dinof3able
That's clearly the right choice.
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab s2 and it's great and my friend/neighbour has an ipad air 2 and it's great too.We have the same speed on both devices nearly.
get to the chopper!
Lol
The only phones for me are Samsung, but in Tablets area - only and only Apple Air 2. There is no other. So lonely on the top!
My Air 2 was smooth on ios 8, but after the ios 9.2 update not so much.
I'm a die hard Android user, but I have to say currently iPad is still the best "entertaining" tablet on the market(I own a Surface Pro 3 too, but it is just not that idea as a tablet).

If you still want to choose Samsung's tablet, please install AOSP on it, don't let CrapWiz ruin it's amazing hardware!
Great review Damir,by the way,to play intensive games like asphalt 8,nova 3,modern combat..etc,at how many ghz the processor should be clocked..?just wanted to know..including RAM...
So the tab s2 8.0 for $160 or iPad mini 4 for $300. Which is the better deal?
Hey Damir, I'm a die hard Android fan as well and have always owned an android phone, till date. I am planning on getting a tablet as well and was looking to purchase the galaxy s2, due to its display. I was wondering though, would you say that games are okay on the s2 as well?
Hey Damir, thanks for the quick reply and the video.
The apple does not offer the multitasking options which the Samsung device offers
Junaid Aslam yes they do, in ios 10 they added multitasking
IAmFamousAtStuff//Mcpe can the apple open 5 windows at the same time?
5 windows at a 10" Screen?! Are you kidding me? I think 2 are more then enogh...
why settle for less???
Because 5 Windows at a 10" Screen means no workspace for each window...;-)
Now I know which tablet I will use thanks!
Great comparison. ...which one of the two has the better camera
Ipad air 2 >>> compatible wifi n
Samsung galxy tab s2 >>> wifi ac
Is there a difference in use ?
Which is the best ?

It has been 6 years and i can confirm this 100% all the devices are nearly the same, has very less differances other than the small things.
I am watching this on a iPad Air 2
Ben Turner even me
thanks, great review.. Im needing a tablet display for my DJI Inspire and the brighter Galaxy looks like the one for outdoors
I prefer S2 because better dispay, thiner, lighter, smoother and cheaper.
What would be nice to see both is to see both ipad air and samsung tab S 2 with exact same wallpaper at beginning for comparing pics.
What is the price difference? I''m actually looking forward to the Tab S3 hoping it would have the S pen. I have the 8 inch Tab A with S pen and I take it everywhere.
Which would you guys suggest for school. The Samsung tab A 9.7 or the tab S2 9.7? $200 difference in price.
You'll be back. thanks, nice vid
iOS experience is amazing !
Good video. The absence of partisan thinking is appreciated.
I really wish that the Tab S2 kept the IR blaster (TV remote control). I don't understand why Samsung is removing IR blasters from all of its newer products, can someone please explain if you know why?

+Damir Franc okay, thank you for the Quick answer :) have a good day/night :)
I think they both go in a case. I tried to replace battery on Samsung n TouchPad doesn't work anymore. unfortunate.
The most premium feel goes to the Samsung galaxy tab s2

The Aspect ratio of both are not suitable for me since I watch a lot of films on it. I would still prefer the Z4/Note 2014 Edition or Tab S.
sold on this tablet one thing im concerned about is the battery life and when the s3 would be coming out
More than good enough very helpful Samsung should hire you lol. I'm mostly an ios user with an iphone and macbook but I love the customization you can have with Samsung products. I'll def have to pick this up
Outdoor use??? Definitely ipad air 2. Because of its antiglare screen. The white light is reflected very less and gives bluish reflection which is far better than samsung, which reflects lots of lights and glares.
do you now the issue of the ipad air 2?,try to push a little bit with your fingers the back of the ipad and look what happens to the screen.
+Damir Franc I really disagree,I had ipad air 1 and other tablets and dident have for me this issue,more I will say you dont have this problem with the tab s2, and I am Apple guy jiji,good video
Buying one tomorrow. Can I download a different ui. I have a galaxy s6 and have a favorite ui
I use Tab s2 to watch movie on the plane. It's really annoying to see huge black bar on both sides. That's including watch youtude and Netflix in the hotel as well. I'm puzzled about why most of the interview did not mention about such.
I just here to remind if you want to buy these 2 devices to watch movie, this is the point to watch out. After all, it's our hard earning money to spent.
+Damir Franc Common sense? Zoom in to get the whole picture and lose some part of video? why didn't I think of that? Yes, I should get Sony Z4 Tablet for the ratio. Is that why you didn't demo any movie playing? Wow. Sorry being stupid. I guess your review is way too smart for me. I just express some general comments, you don't have to come strong on me.
I (kinda) own both and appreciate both... the s2 is owned by my mom but she rarely uses it
For s2 i like the video quality, for air 2 i like it on gaming
iPad looks far better than Samsung in design
Having Galaxy A5 I am not going back to lcd screen.
If Apple does iPad with oled screen - this will be THE mother of all tablets :-)
Pretty fair video. I like the iPad because I'm invested in that ecosystem and everything works well together. I had the s2 and thought it was great but I missed how the iPad worked with my iPhone and Apple TV etc. however the s2 is a great tablet especially if you have a recent Samsung phone !
+Damir Franc I like the side sync feature, it's close (if not better in some way) to apple handoff / continuum feature.
+Damir Franc it's a great program that you can even put on your pc. It basically lets you have a mirror image of your phone with full functionality on your tablet or computer. I find it pretty cool. I have a note 5 and a Samsung tab A and it works well. I just can't make up my mind which os I like, they both have pros and cons.
+Damir Franc your exactly right it really depends on your needs. I got the tab A after returning the s2 because of the price difference and because I knew I would use my iPad mini 4 more since my boss uses idevices it's just easier for us to interface files and material being on the same OS. Honestly I love both OS's and I have to admit that Samsung displays are amazing with the colors and Apple retina screen are beautiful too. I love both companies and it's great for the consumers for them to compete and bring innovation to tech. Man keep up the good work!!!!!
Is it possible for you to show us using a s pen with the S2 ? Which S pen i can use for it and is it possible to take notes on a pdf file ?
Thank you
okay thank you which pen i can use with the s2 ? maybe an active stylus pen? Or can you tell me which pen i can buy for s2 .
should i get an air 2 or s2
I'm still loving my Tab S1. Apple doesn't come near. Sorry.
Thank you bro I was just about to buy iPad Air 2
Mukhtar Jaleel me too
Sya Tajuddin happy to know that bro
hmm... sorry to ask that if im looking for longer battery life on streaming video which one should i go for?
thanks for your respond really appreciate it.
What is the app for your side gestures?
***** thanks! after seeing it in so many of your videos, the idea is starting to be very appealing.
Don't forget the Tab S2 has an aluminium frame / surround!
the screen color is customizable so its a complete win for samsung.
is the tabs2 prone to screenburn?
Why on Apple Apps Store i can found every famous apps like Snapchat or Musical.ly but on Google Play Store there is a lot of fake apps
Alex Beyer but yet the apple App Store has much better quality apps.
Just dont use the default profile on samsung amoled, use the basic (calibrated rgb)
For a college student...which one would you say is best?
+Massie Block Samsung, because it has less bugs. It is also more stable and smoother, and it has Microsoft Office pre-installed in it.
thnks my dad actually works there so i get good discounts!
+Massie Block you can multitask on the tab s2 aswell I'm not sure about the iPad but it's useful
***** yea thanks, I kinda knew some of the iPads had multitasking but not as well as samsung.
I cant play world of tanks on my s2 only in low mode whats the problem?
which tab is best for games ipad air 2 or tab s2
Which tab is of 20000
I might just get an ipad for the fkss of it if it cost the same, but as it happens, it doesn't. There's no competition if you look at the market prices.
iPad is way better
Says you! Who made you the judge!✌
do you use side sync
hello , which is the fastest ? thanks
+Damir Franc i don' t speak english
i wanted to buy an i pad .But both seems butter smooth . iam bit confused ,i know android lags after installing new apps [happens to most of samsung phones ] what about i pad , inever used an ios device before please help honestly . design wise i pad is simple and elegant its a piece of art that never gets old , screen i think Koreans scored. i want to see apples oled retina screen lol. But i know what to get. i will go with my guts . beauty and the beast . i prefer beauty.
what about the tab s2 screen flickering ? Meaning the PDM?
+Damir Franc thank you for answering,I am deciding which of the two to buy.I just want a tablet that works fast,does not lag and has a good screen.Gaming 3d performance is not so important.I have heard that tab s2 makes eyes get tired even after 15-20 minutes.What advice would you give to me?It is so hard to choose between the 2 monsters!)
hey, I want to ask, after an year of using, is it true the Android tablet gets much slower when the Ipad stays the same?
I think that say all wich is the better product...^^
I really can't choose ! I use to have an Iphone, I have a Macbook pro, I am an real mac user, but I am a bit disappointed with Mac products now for more reasons...
I bought a samsung galaxy S5 and it's a pretty good machine, then, lolipop came out and my device start lagging as F ! i have to close apps every 2 hours, close execution apps and stuffs.
I'm very worried about how the galaxy tab S2 will age, will it lag like my S5, when a new softwear will came out, would it lose half of his capacity ?
Christmas is coming soon, please help me to chose one :)
It really like the S2 btw, I just need a little more to decide.
Thanks.
sorry for my english I'm a potato ^^
If I read between the lines, you're saying that, it's inevitable that the S2 will, at some point, lag one day, like my S5 ?
I know that apple never lag, my gf has an ipad air and it never lag, even after many softwear update.
I tried every thing with my S5, reset it, put all my apps and photos on the sd card ( lag less ) but still... 400euros for a device that lag and become very hot after update to lolipop.. any way.
With experience that you have, would you rather say that the S2 age more with update and long use than the ipad 2 air ?
And do you think that, having the possibility to add more memory with SD card, the fact that it's lighter, and taking into account all the quality of the S2, worth the blow of getting one even if... maybe one day, it will lag. ?
Thanks you for answering me :) +1 sub ^^
+Damir Franc yeah no storage problem since i also use a server at home .. but what do you mean by lag ??? mine has the 9.2 update and still smooth as butter !
***** Okay Thanks you very much for the talk :) I will buy the S2 any way !
Have a good day
does it have a rear and front facing camera?
shitest comment I have ever seen
Any thing you say I don't believe just next week I am buying ipad air 2
"doesn't bend...' literally can see it warping as he puts stress on it.
haris ali
it is right that ipad mini 3 is nice than ipad air 4 this is true
Air 2 is fast. Even runs smoother then my new Tab S3. Who would've thought that? Samsung has beautiful screen but would go with the smoother device. Better design apps on iPad also.
Android is better then iOS but iPad is better then Samsung tabs
Assaf Atias no they are not!
Aaron Boross Yes... (keep googling)
true
androinds are worser than and the ios is the best.
Assaf Atias android colculator ios time mchine ;)
Hi, was wondering if anyone knows if Samsung have fixed problem with their battery life. Had Samsung Tab 3 and just right after a year the battery would go dead and tablet would tell me I had 70% remaining battery and tablet would still go dead with in min's! Was reading that dis was a problem with their Samsung Tab 2 as well!
+Damir Franc Samsung have had at least 1 or 2 tabs out since tab 3! plus I've had same issue with my tab 3 as well. so I'm wondering d same as well! if they want fixed that problem with tabs after tab 3 was out.
