The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 (model number SM-T810) is the world’s thinnest tablet at a mere 5.6mm in thickness when it launches! And it’s lightweight too, with a weight of only 407 grams.

The central piece of the Tab S2 is the Super AMOLED display in which the 9.7-inch screen has the same 2048×1536 resolution as the iPad Air 2. Along with that it also has the same 4:3 screen ratio of an iPad too. But Apple’s tablet doesn’t have the superior AMOLED display with rich colors and perfect sharpness.
