Galaxy Tab S2 to be an aggressive rival to the Apple iPad Air 2: thinner and with a metal frame

The new gadget from the South Korean maker won't only rival Apple in terms of thinness, though – apparently, the company is switching away from the 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch models from the current Tab S generation to an 8.0-inch/9.7-inch split that will closely resemble what Apple has in store with the iPad mini 3/iPad Air 2 respectively. Not only that, but both displays will now also offer a boxier, 4:3 aspect ratio, again in line with what Apple has been doing for a while. If that wasn't enough, then the claim that Samsung is also going for a metal frame for the rumored Tab S2 should drive the point home – the company is gunning for Apple's iPads.
Check out our review of the Apple iPad Air 2 here. If you're thinking of a high-end Android tablet, then Samsung's aforementioned Tab S 8.4 and Tab S 10.5 are both great alternatives.
