So I just switched from the note 10.1 2014 edition and am pleased with the tablet so far. Comparing it directly to the note, the speakers are horrible, and I definitely notice the lower dpi in the screen while I'm reading text. The note 10.1 has a superior screen, and far superior speakers. The tab s2 sounds like a tin can. The colors on the screen in the tab s2 are also over saturated and don't look realistic.
That being said, it is lighter, easier to user, much thinner, snappier, and I haven't noticed much difference in battery life yet. The tab seems to do a much better job of managing apps and processor tasks. My note 10.1 wound get hot and crash quite frequently. I've had no such problem with the tab s2 so far. I don't miss the vibrating since I never really used it, and the same goes for the ir blaster and the s pen. I do wish that I could force some apps to run in 16x9 though.
