    The Galaxy Tab S2 will be offered in two variants; 8.0-inch and 9.7-inch screen sizes, both with featuring Super AMOLED displays and a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. Other specifications include a 64-bit octa-core Exynos 5433 processor, 3GB LP-DDR3 RAM, 32/64GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, an 8-megapixel primary camera, a 2.1-megapixel secondary camera, and a newer version of TouchWiz UI that is based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. It also features a Galaxy S6-like touch-based fingerprint sensor, an upgrade over the swipe-based fingerprint sensor that was used in the Galaxy Tab S.
