But the competition never sleeps: The Nexus 7 by the end of August, Google will already appear. Whether the Galaxy Tab 3 has a chance to compete with the Google tablet, we reveal here in the test.
Our test device with an 8-inch screen (model SM-T310) depends obviously on people, which is too small 7 inch and 10.1 inch too big. In any case it does not fit in your pocket, jacket pockets are mostly in the size and no suitable habitat. Mobile remains due to its low weight of just 314 grams but definitely.
The tablet comes as was the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note back in packaging made from 100% recycled paper, including printing from soy ink. When you first touch the high quality workmanship of the Galaxy Tablet 3 falls on how it is now also used by Samsung. No creaking, perfect gaps and a pleasant feel special characteristics of this tablet the South Koreans.
Equipment and benchmarks
Android operating system is 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) to use, the Samsung has, as always pimped with its TouchWiz interface. Whether the company will provide an update to 4.3, still written in the stars.

The only resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels but does not really contemporary, because one might have expected from the South Koreans and entitled.

3the Galaxy Tab 8.0 is used as a drive, a dual-core processor, the Samsung does have drilled compared to the second generation of Galaxy Tab 1.0 to 1.5 GHz, but some of the acts in years.
