My Experience With The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 #MyGalaxyTabS2
So I got my hands on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 recently. Holding the new tablet in my hands, I’m mightily impressed by the built quality and how thin it is. Pretty good first impression, even before I switched it on.

My Experience With The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 #MyGalaxyTabS2 |
Herald as the perfect personal companion, the Galaxy Tab S2 is stylishly designed to be the slimmest and lightest tablet with a sleek metal frame finishing, packing a powerful performance. Compared to my current iPad, I have a feeling I’ll be using the Galaxy Tab S2 a lot more for my work purposes and as my go-to entertainment gadget.

Slim and light |
Love the stunning Super AMOLED display which is perfectly optimized for viewing any type of digital content. Bright, colourful, switching on the Galaxy Tab S2 is a breeze, and I actually look forward to seeing the screen.

Stunning Super AMOLED display |
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is fast becoming my ‘must-have’ gadget on the go. With its Super AMOLED display delivering 94% of natural tones to show true-to-life colors I’m pretty much spoilt when viewing apps and movies on the device.

iflix, you got to get it |
My Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 comes preloaded with iflix, Southeast Asia’s leading Internet TV service and Samsung Milk Music, a digital radio streaming service designed specifically for Samsung users. Movies and music on the go, what else can I ask for?

Love listening to music from Samsung Milk Music |
Samsung Milk Music offers more than 150 genre-based and curated stations with a distinctive dial design. Listening to the music with a Bluetooth headset makes the Galaxy Tab S2 a very versatile ‘hands-free’ personal companion. Check out these pictures of me below, enjoying The Matrix (again, because I love that movie) on my Galaxy Tab S2. So convenient, life is good.

It comes preloaded with Microsoft Office Solutions |
Working on-the-go at cafes outside has been so much easier with the preloaded Microsoft Office Solutions. I no longer even need to carry out my laptop. Creating new awesome contents made easy! With the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 I can manage bills and do online web transactions while on the go too. So much win. Now who just banked in that large sum of money to me?

In addition, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 offers Multitasking, allowing users to view and run two apps simultaneously with Pop-Up Window, a new feature that lets users can easily navigate between multiple apps at once. Checking Instagram, while viewing my blog can now be done simultaneously.

So after having the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 as my personal companion these past four weeks, I'm pretty impressed with its capabilities. Definately my go-to daily personal companion, the Galaxy Tab S2 is stylishly designed to be the slimmest and lightest tablet with a sleek metal frame finishing, packing a powerful performance. I use it often both when attending events, food reviews, and even at home.

Colours just come out brighter and prettier on the AMOLED display, especially when I’m scrolling through my Instagram on it.

An afternoon of yummy noms, “working over lunch” has taken a whole new meaning.
