Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Official review
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 review
Battery and storage
The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is powered by a 4,000mAh battery and is available in WiFi models with 8GB and 16GB of internal storage. The tablet also features a microSD card slot, meaning users can upgrade its expandable storage with a maximum of 32GB.
The inclusion of the microSD card slot is a positive factor differentiating the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 from the Nexus 7, where a lack of upgradable storage space is a problem given the device's media focus.
Testing the battery, we found that the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 managed to last around nine hours on one charge while continuously playing movies, which is about what we'd expect from a 7in tablet.
Camera
The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 comes with a 3MP rear-facing camera. Sadly, it isn't a pleasant camera to use and the results are underwhelming. We found that photos taken on the tablet were dull and blurry.
Video taken on the tablet is slightly better, with it being able to record HD 720p at 30fps, though again the video suffers from poor colour levels, generally looking fairly washed out and lifeless.
Because of this we really wouldn't recommend using the camera on the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 at all.
In Short
Overall, for £200 the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is a decent tablet. It boasts a sturdy, visually pleasing design and decent battery life. The big problem, however, is that the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 isn't as good as Google's Nexus 7, which retails for the same price yet features a more powerful processor and a more up-to-date operating system. ยต
The Good
Solid build quality, decent battery.
The Bad
Slow performance, screen isn't great.
The Ugly
Touchwiz user interface.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Best Review
It took years of iPhone dominance and many months of Android market leadership for a phone with Google's mobile operating system to knock the iPhone off its pedestal. The Samsung Galaxy S3 won that honor. The GS3 is a truly global phone, available on nearly every carrier, nearly everywhere. Its large, vibrant HD display represents a growing class of phones with broader form factors, and its delicate balance of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, a sharp 8-megapixel camera, 4G LTE or HSPA+ support, and an accessible price make the Galaxy S3 a worldwide hero.
