Immediately after its presentation we brought you comparative among the new tablets of Samsung and those that are still the great benchmarks of the sector, those of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, but there is another that could not be delayed too much, and it is none other than the one that puts him face to face with the X de Sony, without any doubt one of the best tablets that have seen the light this year and one of its most direct rivals in the field Android. How about the best tablet of the Koreans compared to the best of the Japanese? We measure the Technical specifications of these two authentic luxury tablets to help you decide which one to use.
Integrated
The differences in the design section could hardly be greater between these two tablets: while that of Sony maintains a more elongated format and opts for a clean front and straight lines, that of Samsung has been moved to the most square format of the iPad and offers smoother lines and a physical home button. With regard to functionalities, the Galaxy Tab S2 has in its favor having a fingerprint reader and the X, like the rest of the range, resistance to water and dust.
Dimensions
Even assuming that the proportions are quite different, it is possible to notice that the X has a somewhat larger size (23,73x16,9 inch against 25,4x16,7 inch), although it cannot surprise us either, taking into account that its screen is also larger. Where these two devices stand out, in any case, is in the thickness and weight sections, since they are two of the thinnest tablets (5,6 mm against 6,1 mm) and light (389 grams both) of their range.
Screen
In the screen section we find differences in all the points under examination: the X not only is it bigger9.7 inches against 10.1 inches), but also has a higher resolution (2048 x 1536 against 2560 x 1600) and a higher pixel density (PPI 264 against PPI 299), but also uses a different aspect ratio (4:3, optimized for reading, versus 16:9, optimized for video playback) and different technology (AMOLED vs LCD).
Performance
They are very even, however, when we come to consider the performance section, even though they mount two different processors: that of the Galaxy Tab S2 It is eight-core and its maximum frequency is 1,9 GHz and the X, Snapdragon 810, it is also eight cores, although its frequency amounts to 2 GHz. Equality is absolute when it comes to RAM, with 3 GB in both cases. Of course, the two of them already arrive with Android Lollipop pre-installed.
Storage capacity
Unless we are interested in acquiring the tablet with the largest possible internal memory, in which case we are more interested in the Galaxy Tab S2 that will be sold with up to 64 GB hard disk, the scale is very balanced: the most affordable model offers in both cases 32 GB storage capacity, expandable via card micro-SD.
Cameras
Although we always insist that it is probably not a section that should be given too much importance when it comes to tablets, it is worth noting, for those who are convinced that they are going to take advantage of that, although they are tied in terms of the main chamber respects, with 8 MP, the tablet of Sony It has an advantage, however, when it comes to the front camera (2,1 MP against 5 MP).
Autonomy
We will have to wait for the results of the autonomy tests to draw more definitive conclusions, since it is important to take into account only the capacity of the autonomy if not also the consumption. However, at the moment the only data we have available for these two tabetas is the first one, and judging only from it, the victory is, by quite a bit, for the tablet of Sony (5870 mAh against 6000 mAh).
Price
Nor can we say anything conclusively about the price yet, since Samsung It has not yet announced how much its tablet will cost us, although it seems quite likely that it will be cheaper than the X, whose price is right now $599. Although we do not know for sure to what extent it can serve as a reference, the price of the first Galaxy Tab S 10.5 was 499 euros when it was launched in Spain.
