Android Wear has come a long way of late, but Google continues to lockout manufacturers from making any significant alterations to it. HERE Maps doesn't even come close. Notifications generally work well, but they lack little niceties, such as bringing up a picture of the contact emailing you in the background.
I also failed to receive notifications for some emails, despite them appearing on my S6 and the app being enabled in the settings. It also badgered me to use Samsung's Messages app rather than Chomp SMS, though disobeying it didn't seem to cause any problems I could see.
They show information as you need it, saving you digging out your phone, but any task that takes more than a quick tap is probably better done on your phone. A smartwatch is merely an accessory of your smartphone, and so getting the two working together in harmony is paramount. If you have a Samsung smartphone and are looking for a smartwatch this looks to be the obvious answer. However, as a Samsung user, you probably still use a lot of Google apps and services, and you may not always get the best support for these from Tizen.
Samsung Gear S2 review: Worth buying in ? The smaller battery of the Tab S2 is likely what leads to it trailing the original Tab S tablets by a couple of hours, and while the Tab S2 definitely won't be as good as its predecessors for watching films due to its aspect ratio, it still lasts more than long enough for anyone to sit on a plane or train and watch several films or a season of a TV show. Its run time is above the median, which should be a good thing.
Unfortunately, this test really has two parts to it. Because the BaseMark battery test runs a CPU load over time one has to consider how performant a device was during the duration of the test. The impact of this can be seen in BaseMark's battery score for the Tab S2, which is the lowest device on record. Based on the results so far I wasn't hopeful for a great battery runtime in PCMark's battery test.
I was actually quite surprised when the test finished and I saw the Tab S2 with a score far greater than any other tablet. What this says is that the Tab S2 is capable of good battery life in a very mixed and balanced workload, but if you're performing any display or CPU heavy tasks for any significant period of time you're going to experience the high levels of battery drain demonstrated in the earlier tests.
However, this test really has two sides to it. While a device can last a long time, if it maintains a completely unplayable frame rate for the duration of the test then it's not really providing a better experience than a device that lasts half as long but runs at a very high frame rate which would actually be playable if the user was experiencing this type of workload while playing a game.
In this case, the Tab S2 is never even able to reach a frame rate of 30fps, and after around 25 minutes performance has dropped to 17fps. In contrast, the iPad Air 2 dies an hour before the Tab S2 does, but achieves a frame rate of around 50fps and maintains it for the entire time period.
The Nexus 9 only lasts two and a half hours, but also achieves a very high frame rate during the benchmark. I think the Galaxy Tab S2 is definitely a case where a thin chassis was prioritized to the point where battery life suffered, and I don't believe that it was the right call.
While the Tab S2 handily beats every other full sized tablet on thickness and mass, the battery life falls short in several situations. PCMark shows than in a heavily mixed workload there is the possibility of good battery life, but in my own experience which tends more toward web browsing, news reading, and working in Microsoft Office I've experienced battery life much closer to the results of BaseMark OS II and our web browsing test than PCMark's battery test.
Kevin, 18 Jun I agree that they are expensive. I got lucky, though, as I bought a used one on eBay for 80 US Because : 1 It is stuck with Android-v7 the model has only received 1 update , 2 Sound: With only 1 speaker, the sound is lacking! We let it charge during the night, because we get frustrated waiting for it to charge during the day it takes appr. It doesn't even come close to for-instance the Samsung-S7 which has fast charging, has been upgraded form Android v6-to-v8, is much faster, has good navigation-buttons and sw-control , and better sound than the 4-times bigger tab-S2!
Bg Boy, 19 Sep 2 years and i don't have any update,and Android is 7. And st A sub-feature in v8, that for instance communicates a "hand-off" with the access-point, when the signal is getting "too low" and another access-point has a "strong signal".
Wifi-Roaming - explained : I have 2 Asus-routers setup as Access-Points, and I have enabled their "roaming-assistent" feature, andhave adjusted their "hand-off" signal-level. Below this signal-level dB all our units, except the Tab-S2, switches to the AP with a strong signal. Sad for Samsung, that looses a lot of customers!
