Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Test 3: No tablet revolution, just an update - West German newspaper

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3 is the third version of Samsung’s 10-inch Android tablet. At first glance, are hardly to recognize differences predecessor. We have found in testing some new features, but we could not really excite the device.

The surprise has its limits as we unpack Samsung’s latest 10.1-inch tablet. Apart from a barely visible diamond pattern on the back of the white Plasitkhülle the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is similar to 3 pretty its two predecessors. But it has become slimmer: The whole technology inside Samsung now pressed into a mere 7.95 mm thick housing

Appearance and inner workings of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3

differences to its predecessor stuck with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3 especially under the plastic cover, in the form of a completely new processor set. Samsung has installed a 1.6 GHz dual-core processor from Intel here is the particularly energy-saving. There are a gigabyte of memory and, in the test device, 16 GB hard memory expansion capabilities via memory card. Nearly twelve gigabytes are after power for apps, music and videos still available. In everyday life just fine. The Intel chip is fast, apps run smoothly, without jerking video

Our test device possessed besides wireless also on the ability to use data services over cellular – a Sim Card with network option provided. This allows the tablet via headset to use as a telephone. Also the battery life is pretty good sized. Around seven hours keeps the tablet in continuous use from, who uses it occasionally to get some e-mails or just check something on the net, comes from days without charging.

Although it is the third generation of the tablet, the screen resolution is still only 1280 x 800 pixels. Apple Ipad or Tablet Sony Xperia Z Samsung because now far ahead (see image above left is the Samsung, right Ipad4). So the picture is slightly crumbly, the pixels are clearly visible. Particularly in the representation of texts the low resolution drops to negative. Too bad, because otherwise the display in terms of color, brightness and viewing angle leaves a good impression.

For the two-week test of the tool from Samsung was provided a free copy of the Galaxy Tab3 available. This device was sent back after the test.

Two cameras are installed in Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is a front camera for video calling with 1.3 megapixels and a 3.15 megapixel main camera. At least the main camera is unfortunately a complete letdown. Although hardly anyone will buy a tablet to take pictures, but instead install a camera that makes so blurred, noisy and blurred images, Samsung had better omitted entirely on it. Only snapshots at the optimal light succeed halfway.

In terms of processing and gaps there are, however, nothing to criticize. Galaxy on Tab3 crunches and creaks nothing, the connections for memory and SIM cards are accurately closed by covers over the stereo speakers elegant front grille are attached. Only the plastic of the shell makes for sweaty palms after some time. Point deduction, however, there in ergonomics. Why a tablet of this size has not programmed a virtual control on the display, is a mystery. The configured as switch button home button and the button for options and “back” are very inconveniently located. No matter how you hold the tablet – they are not easily accessible.


software and operation of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3

Thanks to the fairly brisk and quite frugal inner life running on the Galaxy Tab3 videos and apps from Google’s PlayStore problems. Even browsing the internet makes the tablet a good figure -. Websites, you can quickly scroll and zoom and also the installable widgets on the home screens generally run smoothly

operating system, the Galaxy Tab3 Google’s Android with the Samsung Touchwiz interface for typical use. To the Koreans spendieren some more or less practical programs such as the drawing paper artist, Polaris Office or Smart Remote, a program with which the tablet, thanks to the built-in infrared interface into a remote control for consumer electronics.


Conclusion: This is not enough to Ipad and Co.

to the Galaxy Tab3 is a solid device. It does what it should, and quite decent. Unfortunately, the screen crumbly and weak camera spoil the overall impression of belonging. Even the slightly strange arrangement of the control buttons is not worthy of the award. That Samsung has better screens on offer, the Koreans demonstrate their other devices – so why not in quite large with 10.1 inch Galaxy Tab 3? The competitors of Apple and Sony have already installed high-resolution displays in their tablets.

The Galaxy Tab 3, therefore, is best suited for users with no claim to a high-end device. If you get a few e-mails, browse the net a little and occasionally want to watch a movie with the tablet gets a solid player with decent battery life. For photo enthusiasts, friends of high-resolution screens and communication technologies such as NFC or people who like to listen to FM radio on your tablet, Tab3 the other hand, is not an option. Depending on the equipment is the Tablet for 369 or 509 euros to have (EIA), and there are also smaller versions with seven and eight inches measured screens.
