Yesterday we left you a comparative between the quirky but always interesting Yoga Tab 3 Pro and today he has to measure himself with the one who just received the award for the best tablet of 2015: the Galaxy Tab S2. Both are the highest level tablets that we can find among the high-end Android, but the reality is that the virtues of each of them are very different. Which of the two best suits your needs? Can the tablet Lenovo be a good alternative to the star tablet of Samsung in your case? We will try to help you decide by analyzing the Technical specifications of both.
Integrated
Undoubtedly the design of the two tablets deserves to be taken into consideration, although for very different reasons: if in the case of the Galaxy Tab S2 What is striking is how stylish and elegant it is, in the case of the Yoga Tab 3 Pro It is impossible to avoid that its cylindrical support is the first thing we look at and, whatever we think about it in aesthetic terms, what cannot be lost sight of are its multiple uses (it helps us to hold it, it gives it an extra battery and a projector is located in it).
Dimensions
La Galaxy Tab S2 It is an extremely compact tablet and that is one of its great attractions: it measures only 23,73x16,79 inch, weighs only 389 grams and its thickness is less than 6 mm (5,6 mm to be exact). The Yoga Tab 3 Pro it's something bigger24,7x17,9 inch) and although its thickness in the area of the screen is less (4,81 mm), it must be taken into account that the cylinder increases it a lot. The biggest difference, however, is in weight (667 grams).
Screen
Although experts have rated the screen as the Galaxy Tab S2 as the best in a tablet (considering factors such as brightness or contrast levels), in the basic technical specifications the Yoga Tab 3 Pro goes a bit ahead, with a somewhat larger screen (10.1 inches against 9.7 inches), more resolution (2560 x 1600 against 2048 x 1536) and higher pixel density (PPI 299 against PPI 264).
Performance
In the performance section, however, the distribution of points is imposed as far as technical specifications are concerned: the tablet of Lenovo mounts an Intel processor more powerful than the Exynos of the of Samsung (four cores and maximum frequency of 2,2 GHz versus eight cores and maximum frequency of 1,9 GHz), but it has less RAM (2 GB against 3 GB).
Storage capacity
Here we do find an absolute tie, since in both cases, with the basic model, we will have 32 GB of internal memory, but expandable externally, thanks to the fact that both have a slot to insert a card micro-SD.
Cameras
You already know that it is not a section to which we recommend paying special attention when choosing a tablet, but if for some reason you need one that has good cameras, the Yoga Tab 3 Pro It is presented a priori as the best option, since it wins both with regard to the main camera (13 MP against 8 MP) and the front (5 MP against 2,1 MP), with figures, as you can see, more typical of a smartphone.
Autonomy
This is probably the section where the Yoga Tab 3 Pro shines more due, as we said when talking about its design, to the huge battery that its peculiar support allows it to house, reaching the 10200 mAh, almost twice the capacity of the Galaxy Tab S2, which stays in 5870 mAh. It must be remembered, in any case, that consumption is another fundamental factor and that this can only be measured well with use tests.
Price
Taking into account that with both models we are already moving in a field of evened price, the difference may not seem too significant, but it exists, especially thanks to the fact that the Galaxy Tab S2 you can already find something cheaper than when it was launched: the tablet of Lenovo slope $500while that of Samsung we can find it already up to $450.
