Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to be thinner than the iPad Air 2

16 February, 2015
The two new tablets by Samsung will also apparently come with a metal frame for a better feel.

This is a cool thing from Samsung, but they will have to beware, because Apple always have to beat Samsung to the punch.

    iPad started 4:3, Android jumped in the market with 18:9 for movie watching, then realizing it a mistake and follow Apple again.

      AnonD-361306, 17 Feb 2015Samsung is copying the ipad style of aspect ratioI think you missed that Google uses it on the Nexus 9 also.

      So why are you automatically assuming the Apple angle when it's just as likely Google

        I think there may be more models for both ratio... Samsung never tries to make less models sure to vast population of earth and every one has different likes....

          If ipad has 4:3 aspect ratio that doesn't mean nobody else could use it.

              AnonD-102946, 17 Feb 20154:3 good for reading browsing .. horrible for movies & ... more16:9 is only for watching movies only man....

              4:3 is good for everything else.. webbrowsing / gaming / e-book reading / in landscape and portrait.

              And besides. Samsung tablets normally go for 16:10. Not 16:9, which is a whole lot better.

                if i wanted a good android 4:3 the Nexus9 will always be a good choice
                hope the rumor isn't true

                            why does Samsung has to be a follower all the time? They were among the first to release bigger than 8-inch and 10-inch standards tablets, and now they just go down to ipad's standard.

                                    Looks promising. I might buy it as my first tablet.

                                      Finally. I've been waiting for this for a long time. The 16:9 is really annoying when reading books and taking notes. The only thing I'd like is an s pen too. I hated the surface pro 1 & 2 because of the aspect ratio. The 3 is amazing but I'd rather have a smaller tablet

                                        a4 paper is 29.7x 21cm
                                        better not make the tab longer than 21cm.
                                        perfect screen aspect ratio is as the a4 paper
                                        1.41:1.

                                        could gradually go close to this perfect ratio

                                        some current phones has been made too long. which are unhuman
                                        should not be longer than 14.9cm. (a4 long side/ 2)
