Hands down the BEST video on youtube comparing the two. Since everyone was talking about the worse battery life and screen resolution on the S2, I was wondering how it was considered an upgrade of any kind. Now I know.
Possibly the best review I've ever seen.
Dave Thompson.... I agree 100%
And under 15m
I definitely like the tab S due to the aspect ratio. ..videos just look better in the wide screen aspect ratio. the only thing is that's better is the internal 32gb on the tab S 2
Me 2
i tried the tab s2 and the tab s. honestly, i ordered the tab s and i got a awesome experience with it. it has a better and bigger display, led flash,and it is just perfect !!!! i dont care if the s2 is newer and is thinner and lighter, l like the tab s more
the best review i have ever seen, i watched so many videos, but sakitech simply th honest ,reliable. .Other channels just talk specs , but this channel tells what those specs do in real world. God bless youtube. I think i go for s2..
this is by far the best comparison video i have ever seen! 👍
You couldn't get a better comparison. Nice job sakitech!
Amazing, clear, simple and very professional information. Thank you.
My Tab S 8.4 is on Oreo now. No Pie roms yet. Not sure if there are going to be any. Better check XDA.
Is it upgradable to oreo??
@@GuyfromEarth3000 Wait. Good catch. I am on Nougat. My bad. It has really good battery life now tho. Out of the box the Tab S 8.4 has terrible on screen time and battery life in general. But if you root it and flash a custom kernel/rom(I use Deathly kernel and Liquid Death OS rom) it really improves battery life and performance.
This is the rom I am currently using. forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/rom-liquiddeathos-sm-t700-t3554387
@@GuyfromEarth3000 There are a few Oreo roms tho I think. Just not for my model which is the SM-T700.
Great review! Thanks! I'm gonna go the S2 since I do a lot of reading versus movie watching. Pity the flash was lost on the S2. Cheers!
The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is the clear winner here! Samsung dropped the ball on this Tab S2 model because other than a slightly better processor, it fails in almost every other area.
Hai .. Saki does tab s2 support quick charging ? .. I'm currently using tab s 8.2. It's take about 3 hours to full charge ..
I'm going for the s2; first time buyer. I'm only going to use it 3 days out of the week and only for Skype and Microsoft word and excel. I rely more on my iPhone for any other type of use. Lovely review!!
Nice comparison video but you forgot to test the built in speakers on both tablets. How loud are they and which has the better sound?
Hi. In terms of speakers sound quality and loudness which is better between this and the iPad Mini 3 or Asus Zenpad S 8.0?
I'm pleased to see a 32gb min storage, it's criminal to supply only 16gb these days.
+Petras Anskaitis ha-ha nice one
+xMI55IONx yeah ecpessilly with samsung bloatware
why? Micro SD cards are dirt cheap. even the 256gb ones which the S 8.4 can take.
Digital West , because many apps you cannot move to sd, I am running out of memory on S, but S2 aspect ratio turned me off.
Yes I have an Samsung Tab E 9.6 which has 16gb, and I bought a 32gb micro Sd Card to get more storage because lets face it 16gb don't do anything. And I'm about to get an 64gb Micro Sd Card.
One of the absolute best reviews ive seen
Excellent - possibly the best and unbiased review of both tablets that I've seen to date.
Just sold my S 8.4 to get the S2.
I like what they have done and while you have a larger letterbox with the S2, the video comparison still shows the same amount of video on the screen, it is just stepped back a little more due to the aspect ration differences.
The screen picture is most important to me. I don't mind the plastic. I like the 16:10. That's just me.
I was concerned about the S2's battery life, but this review put me at ease. Thanks!
Good comparison! Very complete and detailed with information on both products on the same frames. Nice work!
sakitech great job on the review and comparison. i was wondering which of the tabs to buy. your video made the decision much easier. thanks!
Saki; thank you for giving me insight in regards to Samsung Tab S and Samsung Tab S2; I can now decide which to get for my tablet replacement for my Blackberry tablet, of which I've had for a couple of years which were the best years hehe.
Thanks for this very useful comparison. One minor observation however, at 13:30m you say they have the same amount of RAM. They don't, the S2 has 32Gb ie. double the 16Gb of the S. Other than that, this is a good video, well done!
Hi. May I know which one sounds better? which one is louder?
Gonna wait for the Tab S3. Outside of the aspect ratio change, the changes seemed more cosmetic than real game changing. I expect to see the Tab S3 have some really new game changing features like a QHD screen with rounded sides or something. Great Review either way though.
Thanks for a very good review, one of the best I've seen. However, what is it about the sound quality that it never is approached? Why the silence about sound?
When I looked at this at bb the s2's edge felt really sharp. But it's hard to tell when they have a 2" anti-theft tether. Does yours feel sharp?
Very nice presentation. Concise, useful and to the point. Many thanks and well done.
Great Comparison, I have a BIG deciding factor for me, I HAVE the Tab S 10.5 and the VIEWING angles are great, but I got the Tab S 8.4 a couple weeks ago, and the Tab S 8.4 had bad viewing angles, how is the Tab S2 8.0 in this regard? THANKS SO MUCH.
+Josh JP
S10.5 is a true RGB AMOLED while S8.4 and both S2's are pentile RGBG AMOLED.
Really amazing and detailed valueble video that I had ever watch. Thanks. Keep going on this way. Hayder.
Great video Saki!
The older Tab S is a super Tab! I have the 10.5 inch, super smooth in every aspect. But the most important reason for me staying on the older, is the battery at 7900mAh. I believe the bigger S2's battery is only about 5300mAh.
And the 16:10 res is by far the better in my book, since it's much better for movies/videos. But actually also for reading and browsing social media. I kinda like the narrow reading format, more newspaper like, if you will.
The Tab S really hasn't gone down in price much at all. And I've seen the S2 discounted $100 a few times in the months since it was released.
Nice review. It was very informative and precise. Best on TH-cam.
Great review thanks, been having loads of issues with the Tab S and its currently at samsung for repairs...for the third time...seems S2 is the way to go..
Thanks for a great review, I`m looking for a tablet for my sons Christmas box and i found this very useful.
very nice comparison review! well done you! very detailed. gave you a thumbs up!
Great detailed video. One question, in the USA I can't find anywhere to purchase the s2 (LTE). I looked on Amazon, Best Buy, & Samsung's own site & I can't find the LTE model anywhere, any ideas, thanks.
its actually strange because a few retailers are offering the tab s2 8 inch white for £260 atm whilst the Tab S I've seen 8.4 16gb around £299, so I think I'll go for the S2 although I am disappointed that the gold isn't on offer
What is that great nature showcase that you are using in the comparison...can I have the link for it please? Thanks
Thank you! You just saved me bunch of money, I'll just wait till the price-drop and buy the S.
so the s2 is better ?
Thx for the review, i really enjoy ur video, no crazy stuff, right to the point, keep the great work :)
Thank you for the clear explanations. I'm going down now to upgrade my tab s to tab s2
It's really a very good comparison review. It has helped me to make a decision. Thanks a lot!
Which Samsung Phones work well with the mirroring?
is the pre-installed ms office on the S2 a full version or is it the same as the one we can download for free in the playstore?
Your comparison video is excellent! Thank you.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive comparison!
This was a really great comparison. not bias at all
Hey! I have a Samsung Tab 4 8.0, Should I upgrade? Would it be better if I upgraded to either the Tab S 8.4, S2 8 or Pro 8.4? (in your opinion)
Tab S2 8.0. it's lighter and stronger than s 8.4.
+HunterC09105 yes upgrade tab 4 8.0 is obsolete for gaming,and i think you might like s2 8 better,and it cheaper for now beacuse of the sales
+Elias Ayala Larrauri I use my Tab quite excessively. Where ever I go, my Tab 4 is with me, so there's quite some high use with it. So far I'm thinking either the S8.4 or S28.0
nice... great comparison of two great products... i own a tab s cant go wrong... but if i was upgrade it would be for a lager screen as i need it for work... related purpose...
Excellent comparison done. Very helpful Thanks.
The tab s2 to me is a huge let down. I want a new tablet but I think I will have to go with the older version. The new aspect ratio is a deal breaker. My question is the tab s you have in the video had lollipop but does it have the multi window option like you showed on the tab s2.
yes
Thank you for this great video. Could you please do me a favor? Could you try and see how the IGN app is displayed? On my Tab S 8.4 it can't be displayed on landscape mode, only portrait mode. In my iPad Mini I can see use it in landscape mode. What I would like to know is if the reason I can't use the landscape mode in my Tab S it's because the IGN app detects it a 16:10 screen and not a 4:3 one so that if I were to buy the S2 8.0 (4:3) I could use said IGN app in landscape mode. Thank you!
Great review. Keep up the great work.
So I'm not upgrading from a tablet (do not currently own one) so should I get the s2 or s1? Mainly for gaming and reading. Don't watch movies but watch a lot of TH-cam. Defo want the smaller version. As it stands the s2 performs better (from what I've seen) but what I don't get is that the s2 is cheaper than the s1 on eBay NEW..... why? Anyway reply reply reply!
although the tab s 8.4 is the best so far, I would advice you to get the s2 8.0.
why? 1) because only the s2 will get the marshmallow update
2) when the Samsung Galaxy tab comes out (most likely by mid 2016), you will get a good sale deal because it's newer than the tab s 8.4 . just list it on ebay.
so if you want the new best thing .lol . get tab s2. but if you want the best best thing especially for movies and multitasking, get tab s 8.4.

great presentation with great content....many thanks
Very well done comparison, thank you, good video
love your videos... can you compare they with IPAD MINI 4??
Thanks you saved me some money i was thinking on getting this but wasnt sure..sticking with my S8.4 best tablet i have...why have Samsung decided to get rid of the IR blaster on some of there devices and wheres the flash...its like there cutting back..only thing i wish i had on my S8.4 was more ram...16gb just doesnt cut it...would like to see what the picture size is like from the S2 9.7 compared to the S8.4 screen..to see if the bigger size of the S2 9.7 would be worth getting instead of the S2 8 version.
Is there a difference in s an s2 ?some say s2 is 64bit ! Does it make real difference?
Play games experience could be nice for gamers to make their selection! I enjoy a lot to get clean and simple main point from the video, indeed.
I prefer the S2
I know it's poor to watch videos,
but 4:3 ratio is pretty attractive to me.
Is it true that the USB connector on the S2 is a micro USB type A and on the S micro USB type B like all the smartphones uses
Which should I get?????
thanks a lot ur review clear my doubt which one should i get :)
thank you for the nice video it helped a lot keep up the good work👍👍
Thanks for the great review. You helped me make my decision..
Amazing review
Liked and subscribed
the split screen feature works also on the WIFI version???
Damn, you know how to do a review. Spectacular. You sold me on the older version. The deal breaker was the aspect ratio. I don't like the 4.3.
Great review between the two products. I decided on the Tab S 8.4" as it is pretty much 90% the same product outside of the screen ratio. I prefer the 16:10 ratio despite the S2 being slightly faster in processor speed. Plus I just saved myself about $50.
I'm looking for a tablet for watching movies and games... Which should i go for please? S or s2? Thnks
s2
movie -> s1. And 4000 battery is bàd idea for 8'' 2k screen
I hope you can do another comparison between the tab s2 8.0 vs the tab s 8.4 which runs on a snapdragon chipset and not the exynos variant. thanks!
İ have seweral Question;
1- S2 is to able to see correct position when on main screen also widescreen (I mean when i keep horizontal then main screen icons etc. also turn too?
2- Did you test GPS performance about?
3- When i use tablet in my car, then i open Music player with Bluetooth and make minimized then i also open IGO navigation (which work ofline with only GPS signal). And then also will work bacround Cell phone line back of this too. Then Generaly till now, tablet used energy more than can charging from car lighter socket. I travel long ways and after few hours tablet batery finished even on charging plug. Do you have any experince or test about this?
4- This tablet with celluar line (phone line) can we use like a phone too? can we call from tablet to somewhere?
5- Any experince about warming test about tablet? In time and when i use multi program then get hot?
Thank you.
On the benchmark the android versions were different hard to see, but might have some affect in processing power and in the scores.
if you want to play games take the s2 because of the SoC, i do have the s 8.4 and it's nice, but i notice light lag on games like and the same with the UI (not much lag but s2 feels quicker in terms Of openning apps an loading webpages)
very good comparison .. thank you
How long does it take for the s2 battery to be fully loaded? cause i have an 10.1 2014 and the battery is just fcked up even when its charging while i am watching something the advice will die because its just charging wayyy to slow =(
Great, informative review!
If there was a tab s2 10,5+ inch with 16:10 ratio i would be in love. The metal premium case and the updated processor but sadly i think they screwed up with this one.
top notch comparison-review, thanks
Personally find reading in 16:10 better than 4:3 because im less likely to skip reading lines when Im tired. 4:3 is only better for portrait typing and portrait browing, but thats not a big deal if ou just rotate it...
Awesome review! Thank You!
that is one great comparison!!! Thank you!!
Perfect comparison !!! Thanks a lot ! Tab S 8.4 is a way better than Tab S2 ! Tab S2 has better score on benchmark but in practice it's not a big difference , while gaming for example !
I love my Galaxy Tab S1, and will continue to stick with it, but there's only one issue i have with it, and that is the storage. 16GB is not enough to keep everything on there. Infact i had to reset the system because something was taking up the entire storage, and i couldn't do anything from download apps, updates or even take photos. I couldn't figure it out what it was. Now that i did, i have a few GB's left.
+Bigsteelguy4 U can us sd cards :)
+ahmed rahiq he sad cant till what is really taking that storge :)
ahmed rahiq
Yes i know, but i couldn't do anything with it as the main storage was used up by something i couldn't find. It wouldn't even let me update the system or the apps. That's why 16GB isn't a good amount of space. I already had a 64GB sd card inside, so there are no problems there.
you can get a sd card thing that can add a lot of gigs I think the highst is 128 but some come like a lot like 60
+Bigsteelguy4 Have you transferd all the possible apps and files from the internal to the micro SD card?
so ... i understand that Samsung has changed/replaced the TAB S line appearence, i would say that it's a bad move on their part.
i would keep both form factors, or ... the TAB S2 8.4 inch (16:10/16:9 aspect ratio), and the the TAB S2 9.7 (4:3 aspect ratio).
thanks im french and you help me a lot.
excellent comparison, thanx
Owners of either the tab s or tab s2 have u had any problems with lag or video youtube stuttering? trying to find a new decent 1080p minimum tab
nope
I did and not just on TH-cam was on every videos I just restarted my tab s2 and all works fine now
Just try and remember the good times...
Its doesnt lag for youtube but for gaming, then it lags as hell
@SwordBlaze which one will be better for gaming still in 2017???
weng with the S2. Before you guys go crazy I have used an S and I just like the Tab S2 much better and thats better in my opinion. The screen "looks" better. Camera is better. Speed is leaps and bounds better. Battery life is a little better. All those considered it is the better buy for me. Plus the Tab S2 LTE costs the equivalent of $380 in my country and the S costs an equivalent of $300. So both are pretty affordable
went*
Plastic feels better than metal borders!
my tab S is displaying lines of light and shuts off. sometimes it get stuck in this cycle. should I upgrade to a tab s2 or buy a new tab S?
kaisofine, did you get a new S or S2?
all I care about these two is aspect ratio! tab s for movies!
+dilworth6113 full screen
if samsung would've not wanted to jump on apples bandwagon of 4:3 aspect ratios and stuck with their 16:10 on the s2 hands down everyone would've wanted it even more
very well done, thanks for the review
If you take photographs of near objects, a flash is immensely useful. Otherwise you will have the device casting shadows on your object. I am buying the Tab S because S2 does not have a flash.
