History

On July 20, 2015, Samsung officially introduced the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 through a company press announcement.

The tablet became available for purchase on September 3, 2015, with a starting price of $399.

A revised edition of the series was launched towards the end of 2016 (early 2017 in the UK), identified as the Tab S2 VE (models SM-T710/715/719). This update replaced the earlier Exynos 5433 processor with the more recent Snapdragon 652 chipset. Aside from modest software adjustments and an upgrade to Android 7.x, the device largely retained its original specifications.

Features

The Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 initially operated on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, enhanced by Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. In June 2016, it received an update to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, followed by the rollout of Android 7.0 Nougat starting in April 2017. This tablet is offered in both WiFi-only and combined LTE/WiFi configurations. Depending on the variant, internal storage options include 32 GB or 64 GB, supplemented by a microSDXC slot that supports expansion up to 128 GB. The display employs a Super AMOLED panel with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. Photography features include a front-facing camera with a 2.1 MP sensor and an 8.0 MP autofocus rear camera, though it lacks an LED flash. The device supports HD video recording capabilities. The physical home button integrates a fingerprint scanner for security.

Design-wise, the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 draws inspiration from Samsung’s 2015 Galaxy A series smartphones, featuring a painted metal frame with chamfered edges and a plastic rear cover, complemented by a camera design reminiscent of the Galaxy S6. Available color options include black, white, and gold/beige. Measuring just 5.6mm in thickness, as of September 2015, it ranks among the thinnest tablets globally alongside its larger counterpart, the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7.
