Don't look now, but Samsung's widescreen Android tablets might be going the way of the Dodo. Tabletmonkeys claims (http://tabletmonkeys.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-unveiling-on-july-20/) to have leaked images of the Galaxy Tab S2, and the high-end slate appears to be adopting the same wide, iPad-like aspect ratio as the Galaxy Tab A (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/20/samsungs-galaxy-tab-a-reaches-us/). In fact, it might lose size and resolution compared to the original Tab S lineup (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/24/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-review/) -- instead of 8.4- and 10.5-inch 2,560 x 1,600 displays, you'd be looking at 8- and 9.7-inch 2,048 x 1,536 panels. That wouldn't be so hot for your widescreen videos, but it'd be better for web browsing and anything else that benefits from portrait mode viewing.
