Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7 inches) was ranked the highest

First Choice for Repairability

11,140 German tablet owners* were questioned in this independent representative survey titled ‘Tablet repair study 2018’. The results, published in December’s findings report, showed that, of all leading tablet manufacturers, Samsung scored the highest with regards to the durability of their products.

The survey demonstrated that consumers found Samsung Galaxy tablets to be particularly robust and had lower repair costs if damage occurred compared to the majority of other leading tablet brands. Conversely, other tablet brands had several complaints levied against them by consumers regarding the price of repairs, a predisposition for incurring crash damage and the premature emergence of technical issues.

Long-Lasting Durability

The Repair Index includes not only the data from the Statista survey, but also empirical data on tablet durability by Wertgarantie, who provides warranties for all the tablets surveyed. Samsung received excellent grades particularly in the durability category, obtaining an index average of 1.5 points in the ‘latest tablet’ product section – the best score of any manufacturer featured (the lower the score, the better).

The top four spots in the Repair Index all went to Samsung Galaxy tablets. Among the Samsung Galaxy tablets cited, the Galaxy Tab 4 (7 inches) and Galaxy Tab A (10.1 inches) obtained the highest praise, ranking at 1.1 points – well below the industry average of 1.7 points. The Galaxy Tab 3 Lite and Galaxy Tab S2 also received particularly favorable mention. For more detailed information, check out Wertgarantie’s December Repair Index ranking here.

The enhanced solution was implemented just in time for the league’s semi-finals, and will help referees officiate January 29’s championship match, which will decide which squad will take home the 2016 CTT Cup and be crowned Winter Champion.

In the first stage of the e-Liga project, Samsung designed an app for the Galaxy Tab S and Tab S2 tablets that eliminated the need for paper when filing match reports. As of this writing, more than 2,500 referees have utilized the app to streamline reports for some 419 matches.

The e-Liga app for the Gear S3 allows referees to easily report a match’s pertinent data as it unfolds through an intuitive touch interface designed specifically for the project.

Once the final whistle blows, rather than spend upwards of an hour working on completing and faxing paperwork, referees may simply pair their Gear S3 with the Tab S2, transfer and review that match’s data, and wirelessly submit their official match report to Liga Portugal, all in a matter of seconds.

Before e-Liga’s introduction, referees were required to hand-write game reports after each match, in what was quite an anachronistic and time-consuming practice. Samsung Electronics, as an official technological partner of Liga Portugal, accepted the challenge of transforming this reality.

For Frederico Paiva, Director of Samsung Electronics Portugal’s Sales and Marketing Division, this latest digitized mobile app solution is “part of Samsung’s continuous efforts to link our technology with differentiating experiences, bringing football closer to fans of all ages.”

In order to be certified for the e-Tools program, the USAF subjected the Galaxy Tab S2 to multiple decompression, atmosphere and temperature tests. In addition to being used inflight, the Galaxy Tab S2 tablets will provide the U.S. Air Force with significant cost savings by reducing the number of ruggedized laptops that were originally required to access over 2,000 technical orders that enable maintenance personnel to launch, recover and maintain aircraft assets.

“Intelligent Decisions has maintained a long partnership with the United States Air Force in supporting their missions needs through several Air Force prime contracts,” said Joe Armstrong, president and CFO of Intelligent Decisions. “Samsung is a premiere partner to Intelligent Decisions by delivering superior products and unparalleled service delivery standards to our customers mission needs.”

For USAF technicians, the Galaxy Tab S2 provides a single point of access to digitized technical orders, manuals and parts databases to streamline maintenance operations and troubleshoot aircraft repairs. Additionally, USAF technicians can use the Galaxy Tab S2 to deliver paperless technical orders, process real-time maintenance data collection and securely access to Air Force Enhanced Technical Information Management System (ETIMS) portal.

“Security is paramount to government agencies and the Galaxy Tab S2 was engineered with the needs of the U.S. Air Force in mind, from meeting strict security and network compatibility requirements with our defense-grade Samsung KNOX platform to durability, quality and TAA-compliance,” said John Curtis, vice president of sales, Samsung Electronics America. “We’re proud to partner with Intelligent Decisions to provide innovative technology to the U.S. Air Force’s flight line technicians.”

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 TAA tablet will be included in the USAF e-Tools program effective immediately. The e-Tools catalog of systems is available through AFWAY, a Web-based Air Force system for purchasing IT that provides a one-stop resource where Air Force customers can quickly learn about an array of products and services.

Myleene Klass took to the world’s first upright piano made entirely of Samsung tablets as she brought Christmas cheer to London’s Spitalfields Market.

Passers-by saw classically-trained pianist Myleene unwrap a huge present under a Christmas tree to unveil a piano made with over 100 of Samsung’s newest tablet, the Galaxy Tab S2, before sitting down to tinkle on the tablet ivories, the festive music brightening up a cold dark December morning.

Talking at the launch of the piano, Myleene said; “Nothing makes me feel more festive than gathering around the piano with my two girls. The Samsung Tab S2 piano is a real first and nothing like I’ve ever played before. My youngest has just learned jingle bells and I know she’d love to try it on this piano!”

“Christmas has to be my favorite time of year. Decorating the tree with my babies, helping them open their advent calenders, untagling the fairy lights plus deciding whether a star or a fairy should get poll position on the tree are all part of the fun. I find a tablet is a must for Christmas planning and organising. I’ll be using mine for everything from Christmas shopping to Skyping friends and family on the big day.”

Conor Pierce, Vice President of IT & Mobile at Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland commented; “Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S2 has been designed for those who want a tablet that is ultra slim and lightweight; ideal for helping you explore new content wherever you are, even if that means right in the middle of the bustling Spitalfields market.”

“With stunning AMOLED screens the tablet piano not only sounds great but looks great too, with the screens showing off a fantastic gold Christmas wrapping paper animation. Like the piano, the Galaxy Tab S2 is also available in a beautiful gold design, making it the perfect special Christmas gift for family or loved one.”

Playing today’s mobile games can give you the same feeling as if you were playing PC or console games. This is thanks to the rapid growth of mobile device capabilities, allowing gamers to enjoy high-quality games, which were once unimaginable, right in the palms of their hands.

Nevertheless, mobile games do have their own disadvantages. High-quality graphics games tend to drain smartphone batteries fast and very often generate heat. At the same time, if a mobile device is not equipped with the latest HW specifications, gamers may be experiencing a poor gaming experience due to, for example, lagging.

Samsung has developed an application, which can address these problems, and it is currently receiving a good deal of attention. The application is called Game Tuner and just like the name suggests, it is an application that helps users adjust their gaming environment according to their smartphone capabilities and battery performance.

4 Modes for Managing Battery Consumption

The main objective of the Game Tuner is to help users playing games in an optimal environment by controlling specific elements that influence the gaming environment, such as screen resolution and frame rate. Game Tuner offers four preset modes: High, Medium, Low and Extreme Low, allowing the gamers to control their gaming experiences, along with the option of saving power. Games that once were not as enjoyable as they could be because of slow speeds or high battery consumption can now be played in a more pleasant environment thanks to these simple modes.

Samsung conducted an independent survey and confirmed that there was a big savings on battery consumption when Game Tuner was used to control the screen resolution and frame rate. A high-quality graphics game that consumes a lot of power can be enjoyed for a longer period of time and in a more pleasant environment by using Game Tuner.

Custom Mode Raises Enjoyment Levels Even More

For advanced game users wanting to be more in control on how to set the modes, Game Tuner also offers a Custom Mode, which allows them to customize individual settings, screen resolution and frame rate. Additionally, those settings can be specified for each game, so that each game can be played more efficiently.

Here are a couple of tips when using Custom Mode. First, it is best to optimize the screen resolution to fit the game. For instance, in case of WQHD resolution devices (2560×1440), if a game was developed with HD resolution (1280×720) in mind, then the phone’s resolution should be set to Low. For a game with FHD resolution (1920×1080), then Medium is more adequate. Even if the resolution is set higher, the user will not experience much difference. The resolution can be adjusted according to power consumption and the game environment.

A few rules also apply when adjusting frame rate. In general, human eyes perceive screen movement of more than 30 frames per second to be “smooth.” For this reason, when enjoying simple games, such as puzzles or card games, it is recommended that the frame rate to be set at 30 frames per second. For games that emphasize impressive and detailed movements, like action games or fighting competitions, it is better to increase the frame rate.

Providing the Optimal Game Environment for Users

The development of the Game Tuner app began about two years ago. As the number of mobile game users increased and a wide range of games were launched, Samsung Electronics continued to study and research optimization for mobile devices. The Game Tuner app is the outcome of those efforts by Samsung Electronics to improve the experience for mobile game users. The ultimate goal of Game Tuner app is to enable mobile game users to create an optimal environment for the games they play.

With traffic to the Game Tuner server greatly increasing these days, the application is enjoying great popularity, just a month after its launch. The Game Tuner application can be used on Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, S5 Prime, Note5, Note 4 and Tab S2. More devices will be added gradually.

Before the digital age, business transactions and communication relied heavily on direct personal contact. But as technology has progressed in recent years, there has been a rapid shift in how professionals carry out business. We’ve gone from desktop computers to portable laptops, then to cell phones with primitive Internet capabilities, on to revolutionary smartphones, tablets and now smart watches and other wearables. Today, the ability to connect instantly and carry out tasks easily via electronic devices is making work environments more efficient than ever, and is redefining the very concept of the workplace.

The smartphone in particular, being both more portable and flexible than traditional office equipment, has evolved from a communication device to a mobile office, and has spurred a number of business trends. “BYOD” (Bring Your Own Device) is one that has become widely incorporated in workplaces throughout the world. With the ability to use their personal mobile devices for business activities, employees are able to experience an improved work-life balance and enhanced productivity.

To this end, Samsung remains committed to meeting the needs and demands of business professionals to create products that allow for superior organization, security, productivity, time management and, above all, connection. Its newest products—the Galaxy S6 edge+, the Galaxy Note5, the Galaxy Tab S2 and the Gear S2—come equipped with tools and solutions that reflect this commitment.

The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5: BYOD Devices that Work for You

The Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note5 were designed for optimized productivity and performance. Preloaded with a suite of Microsoft Office apps, a Cisco WebEx video conferencing app, free storage on OneDrive (100GB for 2 years) and refined Exchange ActiveSync (EAS)—a communications protocol designed for the synchronization of email, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes—the devices enable a completely portable working experience that ensures continuity, whether in the office or on a business trip across the world.

In addition to upgraded productivity features, the large, 5.7-inch screens of both the Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 provide the ideal amount of screen real estate to create presentations, edit documents and utilize business applications easily and comfortably. This is complemented by the devices’ intuitive touch interfaces and convenient input tools, such as the QWERTY Keyboard Cover and the highly precise S Pen (available on the Galaxy Note5), which eliminate the need for bulky, heavy terminals.

But even the most useful and efficient device doesn’t amount to much if it cannot keep up with one’s hectic work schedule. With fast processing and 4GB RAM, the Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 ensure swift application launch and multi-tasking while fast charging and power saving features keep the devices powered from early morning meetings through evening presentations. And when those presentations require the utilization of additional devices, SideSync 4.0 seamlessly connects the Galaxy smartphones to a PC or tablet to allow for drag-and-drop file sharing.

KNOX: Security and Privacy

As personal communication devices like the Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 continue to become a main component of business culture, more and more pressure is being placed on IT to manage and secure devices and data. As such, the defense-grade security of Samsung KNOX provides multi-layer protection to keep data safe from the moment one’s device is powered on.

Users can even keep work and personal data separate, ensuring that corporate information and resources can only be accessed by authorized personnel. KNOX offers enterprise users management tools, KNOX workspace and utilities which include on-device encryption. Furthermore, the security solution provides a vital competitive edge in a regulated industry, with Mobile Device Management (MDM) integration for easy incorporation with more than 120 MDM partners.

Keeping Tabs on Workplace Mobility

While smartphones are becoming a major component of the on-the-go approach, tablets are playing an increasingly critical role at work, especially for those who travel frequently. Gone are the days of lugging heavy laptops, stacks of paper and large charts to business meetings. Now, tablets make it easier to give presentations and showcase slideshows.

The Galaxy Tab S2, the world’s slimmest and lightest tablet, is setting a new standard in this market with its best-in-class productivity features, scalable memory with micro SD and optimized viewing features. Incorporating a 4:3 screen ratio and a Super AMOLED screen, the tablet enhances document viewing and writing, as well as on-the-go reading. As such, its preloaded Microsoft Office apps allow for a consistent office experience without the need of a PC.

And for those more accustomed to using a keyboard, the Bluetooth-enabled Keyboard Cover is ergonomically designed for faster and easier typing, and can be protected, stored and toted with the tablet inside the stylish Galaxy Tab S2 Book Cover. Moreover, enhanced file management and expandable storage up to 128GB secured by improved KNOX-based fingerprint recognition technology ensures that enterprises and users receive the highest standards of productivity and security.

The Next Level of Mobility

Like smartphones and tablets, wearables enable employees to reduce their dependence on clunky devices, communicate with minimal interference and get around more freely without feeling disconnected.

The Samsung Gear S2 allows users to conveniently access their email, make phone calls, set reminders, glance at their schedule and check notifications right from their wrist via an intuitive interface, rotating bezel and stand-alone connectivity (Wi-Fi or LTE). Also, users can discreetly check and respond to texts and emails with pre-set messages or the touch screen keyboard. Furthermore, wireless charging capabilities and a battery life that typically lasts two to three days ensure that the Gear S2 keeps you connected and on time … all the time.

While the workplace continues to transform into one that is as mobile as employees themselves, Samsung’s range of mobile devices and solutions will make staying productive, connected and protected as easy as the swipe of a screen.

The more and more that smart devices can do, the more important it is to make sure your device is functioning at its best. This means preserving the battery life, but also managing storage and RAM and keeping everything safe from security threats.

In the beginning of the year, Samsung introduced the Smart Manager, which helps users scan and optimize their smartphone, all at once. Available since the launch of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, the performance of Smart Manager and the devices that support it has been improving. The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 come preloaded with improved battery usage, including app optimization, and security features.

Opening the Smart Manager app shows its four main components: Battery, Storage, RAM and Security. You can view and optimize your device through closing running apps and uninstalling unnecessary apps. The Security menu scans your phone for malware and other security threats. My Knox is also available to download for even more security. To boost your device’s speed and performance in a single click, use “Clean All.”

Long Live Your Battery

Smartphone users don’t always realize they can remove apps which are infrequently or never used. Sometimes apps are running in the background, consuming battery power. After selecting Battery within the Smart Manager, users can prevent wasting battery power through “App Optimization.”

For each app, users can choose between “Always Optimizing,” “Automatically Optimizing” or “Disable For.” “Always Optimizing” stops the app from using battery power. You can also select how often the apps will be optimized (every 3, 5 or 7 days). If you choose the “Automatically Optimizing” for every 3 days, the app will stop using battery power from the last usage for three days. Once the app is set for “Disable For,” you will stop receiving alerts from the app. If you don’t want to miss notifications from instant messaging apps, it’s best not to select “Disable For.”

The Battery screen also displays the percentage of remaining battery power and how long it is expected to last. By selecting Battery Usage, you can view the processes that have been running since your last full charge. Power Saving Mode and Ultra Power Saving Mode also display expected length of battery life if you need to conserve battery power. To view battery consumption of each application, select Detail.

Clean Up

To free up storage space from temporarily stored files, Smart Manager automatically scans and deletes any unnecessary data. After opening the Smart Manager app, select Storage. You can see how much of your available storage has been used. The Details button at the top of the screen shows more information about your device’s total space, available space, system memory, used space, cache data and miscellaneous files.

You can also manually delete data stored on your device. Users can check the current storage status by selecting “User Data” within the Storage menu. This displays how much space each type of files is using. If you choose the applications, you can find which apps are used more frequently. Viewing by frequency of use makes it easy to disable or uninstall unnecessary applications.

RAM

RAM is where temporary files are stored when your device runs an application. Clearing the RAM on your device will improve your device’s performance, freeing space so your device can run faster.

The RAM screen displays the percentage of used RAM, the active applications and how much RAM they are currently using. You can see how many background apps are currently using RAM space, so it helps you choose which applications to close. You can also select “End All”.

Protect Yourself

It’s possible for users to install apps or viruses unknowingly. This could lead to a breach of personal information or damage of the device. In less extreme cases, the unauthorized apps could slow down the device performance or use too much battery power.

Smart Manager automatically scans for malicious software, apps that use unusually high amounts of battery power, apps that make unusual errors and provide solutions for these issues. Users can ensure comfort and security by removing or closing unwanted apps. Samsung devices with Smart Manager provide anti-malware solutions through a partnership with Intel Security.

Take Control

With Smart Manager, Galaxy smartphone users can feel reassured that their devices are safe and secure, and running optimally. By having access to usage, storage, memory and security data, users can take matters into their own hands to know that they have a safe and comfortable space to work and play. Smart Manager is currently available for the S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, S5, S4, Note5, Note4 and Note3, and the available devices will be expanded.

Whether used for browsing the web, reading e-books or watching videos, the tablet is slowly but surely becoming the preferred device to improve one’s efficiency in an on-the-go world where there are simply not enough hours in a day. The launch of the Galaxy Tab S2, packed with many innovative features and boasting an ultra-thin design, has ushered in a new era of portable productivity. Here are nine things you should know about what this amazing device has to offer.

Ultimate Portability

When it comes to consuming content, laptops are too big and bulky. Smartphones can be too small. Yet, at just 5.6mm thin and only 389g (9.7 inch) and 265g (8.0 inch)*, the Galaxy Tab S2 is just right. As the thinnest and lightest tablet on the market, toting around the device, which is available in two sizes, is equivalent to carrying a light magazine or a coffee tumbler. As such, the tablet fits effortlessly into a small bag, is easy to handle with one hand and is ideal to carry when on-the-go.

True Colors

Ever order something while on an online shopping binge, only to have the item show up at your doorstep in a completely different hue? Those days are over, as Super AMOLED technology reproduces lifelike colors in their truest form, leaving no room for unwanted surprises. Similarly, videos and photographs are more vivid, and a higher contrast ratio delivers more detail.

Improved Readability

The Galaxy Tab S2’s stunning Super AMOLED display makes it perfectly designed for reading and viewing content. By recreating a similar viewing experience of browsing through traditional print media, the tablet also makes it comfortable to read digital content, including e-books, magazines, webpages and newsfeeds.

An improved, reading-optimized ratio allows the user to enjoy a seamless reading experience across the entire screen without distracting margins or unnecessary scrolling, while Reading Mode decreases eye strain and allows for longer reading sessions.

On-the-Go Productivity

In a fast-paced work environment, the Galaxy Tab S2 is the ideal device for maximizing workplace productivity and managing tasks efficiently when on-the-go. The tablet’s MS Office Solution allows for the creation and editing of documents, tasks that would normally be done on a PC. And for those who might not be quite comfortable utilizing a touchpad to perform such tasks, the optional Book Cover Design Keyboard delivers a PC-like experience that’s far more portable.**

To access such documents already stored on a PC or laptop, the tablet’s OneDrive*** cloud storage provides business continuity by letting users access the content across all devices.

Away With Wires

Similarly, when the situation calls for it, built-in BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology enables automatic connectivity between the device and TVs or smartphones, making everything from giving presentations to watching TV as easy as a tap of a button. Bye-bye, cumbersome cables!

Mission: Multitask

The Galaxy Tab S2 has taken into account our innate need to multitask and gives users the ability to run and access multiple apps at once. Whether you want to watch videos while chatting with friends, or scroll through a presentation while taking notes, the tablet’s split view, all at once.

Need for Speed

Speaking of saving time, the tablet offers an ultra-fast network performance with fifth generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac and 2X2 MIMO technology. Two internal Wi-Fi antennas double the connection and offer more stability and speed than ever before. If that weren’t enough, the tablet’s Download Booster utilizes Smart Bonding technology to seamlessly combine Wi-Fi and LTE for even faster network speeds when you need a bit of a boost.

Superior Security

Everyone wants to keep their contacts and content secure, but keeping track of and constantly entering passwords can be quite a hassle. Fortunately, the fingerprint scanner technology of the Galaxy Tab S2 makes authentication quick and painless. Similarly, pre-installed anti-malware provides an added layer of security to the device to ensure you’re always protected.

A Camera for All Lighting Conditions

While the Galaxy Tab S2 is built to enhance productivity, it was also designed to incorporate a number of cool features to improve usability, too, including an upgrade to its camera. Thanks to its increased lens aperture, which allows for 35 percent more light than the previous model, the tablet now has the ability to take brighter and better pictures, even in low-light conditions.
