The Galaxy Tab S2 is one of just five devices to score above 40,000 in AnTuTu. That may seem a bit surprising to some since Samsung opted for an older generation processor (Exynos 5433), but the presence of 3GB of RAM helped to boost its score.

MobileXPRT is designed to tell you how well a phone or tablet will handle common everyday tasks. Once again, the Galaxy Tab S2 scores near the front the pack, which indicates a balanced spec sheet (there aren't any glaring weaknesses, in other words).

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Geekbench

Geekbench gives us another opportunity to see how well Samsung's octa-core Exynos 5433 processor performs when combined with 3GB of RAM. It's the same chip Samsung stuck inside its Galaxy Note 4 device released a year ago, yet it's able to outperform much of the competition.
