Indeed it's a marvel that these tablets pack the technology and specs that they do given how little room they take up. These tablets will be made available in 9.7-inch and 8-inch display options, with both being only 5.6 millimeters thick (or rather, thin). The tablets feature the same Super AMOLED display technology found in their 2014 predecessors -- guaranteeing rich and high-contrast colors -- but with improved 2,048 x 1,536 resolution to match the latest [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook) tablets. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 series is just the latest example of Samsung's expertise in blending elegant style and portability with the best features. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Thinner and Lightweight Tablets:** The trend of creating thinner and more lightweight tablets provides opportunities for disruptive innovation in the tablet industry, such as developing flexible or foldable tablets. - **Super AMOLED Display Technology:** The trend of using Super AMOLED display technology in tablets opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the display industry, such as creating more power-efficient and higher resolution displays. - **Blending Style and Portability:** The trend of blending elegant style and portability in tablets presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the design and fashion industry, such as creating customizable and fashionable tablet accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Tablet Manufacturing:** The tablet manufacturing industry can leverage the trend of creating thinner and more lightweight tablets by investing in research and development to create even thinner and more powerful devices. - **Display Technology:** The display technology industry can capitalize on the trend of using Super AMOLED display technology in tablets by developing more advanced and efficient display technologies. - **Design and Fashion:** The design and fashion industry can seize the trend of blending style and portability in tablets by collaborating with tablet manufacturers to create stylish and trendy tablet accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Slim Titanium Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge.md) - [Dynamic Creativity Support Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-tab-s9.md) - [accessibly priced tablet designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-tab.md) - [Affordable Large-Screen Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-tab-s10-fe.md) - [Dynamic Large-Display Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-tab-s10.md) - [Slim Productivity-Supporting Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-samsung-galaxy-tab-s6-lite.md) - [Elegant Multi-Screen Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-fold7.md) - [Cost-Effective Multitasking Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-tab-a9.md) - [Ultra-Thin Tablet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrathin-tablet.md)
