Samsung was one of the first manufacturers to put a 7-inch tablet on the market. Meanwhile, Samsung released the second version of the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus with the addition that also left a good impression, while the Galaxy Tab 7 2.0 rather a functional reduced model showed that could be considered not quite as successor. The Galaxy Tab 7 3.0, however, is a significant step backwards, as our testing shows.

It has become a little easier, the Galaxy Tab 7 in version 3.0. While his predecessor Plus still weighed 347 grams, weighs the third 7-inch tablet from Samsung 306 grams, the housing is adapted to the current Galaxy series, a frame in silver color adorns our otherwise completely in white held device. The new Galaxy Tab is equipped with 188 x 111.1 x 9.9 mm smaller and thinner than the Plus model with 194 x 121.5 x 10.2 mm. The tablet is rigid and well made, nothing creaks, and there are no cracks and gaps between frames, display glass and back cover. The back is Samsung typical of smooth plastic and slips easily from the hand than other tablets with rough or rubberized back.

Our third version of the Galaxy Tab 7 only has 8 GB of internal memory. Of these, the users remain little more than 5 GB for applications that can not be shifted by A2SD to a memory card. That is not enough, especially when graphically sophisticated games to be installed. The micro SDHC card slot accepts memory cards up to 64 GB on.

display on the TFT display is disappointing to say the least. The resolution of 1,024 x 600 pixels and 160 ppi is hardly contemporary. By comparison, the new Nexus 7 from Asus and Google has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and 320 ppi. The writings are on the Galaxy Tab 7 3.0 accordingly pixelated. After all, the color is good, the colors are natural and the contrasts are neat. The display is also stable perspective, it is a little darker when tipping. The display cover, however, fairly reflects, in direct sunlight, it is barely legible. Moreover, the readability Fingertapser collect pretty quickly and reduce that.
