After unveiling it back in June earlier this year, Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Tab S2 in India today. Priced at Rs. 39,400, the high-end tablet from Samsung is available for purchase from their online store starting today in Gold, Black, and White colours. The highlight of this tablet is its large, pixel-dense Super AMOLED display, 5.6 mm thin metal body, and a fingerprint sensor.
