Galaxy Tab S2, buy now or wait?

[AC Question]

Galaxy tab S2 has been out for well over a year now, but also got refreshed in 2016 with a better chipset.

Its quite pricey, best price online i can find is 350 euros, but it appears to be the best.

It seems many people think the S3 was for release in 2016 Q3 but that didnt happen so it might happen in 2017 Q1.

Is it worth picking up an S2 now or waiting a month?

I think it's worth waiting.

It depends. If the S3 comes out in a couple of months, it's almost certainly not going to be 350 euros. If you're looking for a good tablet, and that's your price range, then the Tab S2 would probably work well for you. I've still got my Galaxy Tab S 10.1, and it runs great, so I don't think you'd have any issues with the processor in the S2.

If money isn't an issue, and you're not hurting for a new tablet "right now", then it's probably better to wait a couple of months and see if Samsung announces anything at CES or MWC in Jan/Feb.

All that said, if you can wait, the S2 will likely drop further in price once (if) the S3 is released.
