Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Review

This year, Samsung just had one 10.1″ tablet in the Android tablet collection. Now after MWC 2012, the Korean technology giant has launched not only 1, but a couple of 10.1-inch tablets – Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 would be to challenge Apple’s Apple iPad 2.

Similar to Apple this time around, its upgraded Galaxy Tab 2 tablets, introduced recently in the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, seem more poised and also you could say, possibly more confident from the response from potential users.

Aside from having Google’s Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich operating-system as they are, no big changes appear in the 2 versions from the Galaxy Tab 2, in both their 7″ or 10.1″ versions.
Cosmetically, the Galaxy Tab 2 takes following the Galaxy Tab 7.0 and 7.7 launched early this season in Singapore. The faux metallic surface seamless comfort to the touch and provides it sort of premium believe might take it a notch over rivals.

From things i can easily see in a Samsung show-and-tell for Asian media in Bangkok today, the interface on Frozen treats Sandwich is extremely smooth. The screen on will also be very sharp while offering excellent contrast that you have arrived at expect from Samsung displays. A goody to look at videos and films on the flight with, without a doubt.

The disappointment is the fact that them of these sports the Super AMOLED Plus display only accessible around the older Galaxy Tab 7.7 Another thing you may have expected from Samsung is probably a processor upgrade.

Both Galaxy Tab 7.0 and 10.1 have a dual-core processor running at 1GHz, which still runs smoothly within my tests today, but increasingly, you may see people comparing them less favourably towards the quad-core Tegra 3 CPUs now utilized on the Asus Transformer Prime.

Camera
Galaxy Note 10.1 sports 3.15-megapixel rear snapper with LED flash support. It may record 1080p videos at 30fps. There’s also a secondary 2-megapixel camera in Galaxy Note. However, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 also offers exactly the same 3.15-megapixel camera with LED flash. The front-facing VGA camera in Tab 2 is just reason for difference in camera department of these two tablets.

Interface
These two tablets provide the latest peek at Frozen treats Sandwich (Android 4.0) and also have the same TouchWiz UI overlay. However, Galaxy Note 10.1 includes a little edge on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 because it has got the S-Pen stylus. The screen/S-Pen of Galaxy Note is Ten times more accuracy ¨C with 255 amounts of pressure sensitivity – than the usual normal capacitive screen. Consequently, it’s ideal for taking notes and precise image editing operations.

Storage memory
Galaxy Note 10.1 is available in three models with internal storage options of 16/32/64GB. But we miss 64GB internal storage feature in Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. However, it supports external microSD as much as 32GB. Galaxy Note also features expandable memory option.
Galaxy Tab 2 is simply a mere update towards the original Galaxy Tab. But, Galaxy Note 10.1 is one thing fresh. Plus it outdoes Galaxy Tab 2 10.One in many features. Samsung hasn’t yet released these two tablets on the market as well as their costs are unknown, but taking a look at their feature, the scales tip in support of Galaxy Note 10.1.
