Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is slated to be the thinnest and the lightest tablet, given its size. The device is just 5.6 mm in thickness. The 8-inch version weighs 256 grams while the 9.7-inch version weighs 389 grams.
However, there are other claimants to the title of the "thinnest and lightest tablet," namely Apple iPad Air 3 and Microsoft Surface Pro 4.
The exact dimensions of iPad Air 3 are not known but it is rumored to be thinner than its predecessor Apple iPad Air 2 with a thickness of just 5 mm.
On the other hand, the much-anticipated Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is also rumored to have an "ultra-thin form factor." The exact dimensions of Microsoft Surface Pro 4 are not yet known, so it remains to be seen who takes the crown for being the "thinnest and lightest tablet."
