Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 

We will move on to the newest generation of tablets presented by the Korean mobile manufacturer Samsung. Being a strong move from Samsung on the endless Samsung-Apple battle.

The Galaxy Tab 10,1 ships of course, with the Android's Honeycomb version and gets the Samsung's touch running the TouchWiz UX custom interface, becoming kinda of similar to its Galaxy phones cousins about the interface, featuring stuff like different panels, which can be arranged as the user wants either with application shortcuts or full panel application widgets like weather, mail and calendar. Also it presents an integrated messaging application, the "Social Hub" which intends to help the user on keeping updated about his or her social network activities, putting together Twitter, Facebook, Gmail with feed updates programmable as the user wants.

Now talking about the hardware, the Galaxy Tab is powered by a Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual-Core 1GHz, joining the Tegra 2 club and becoming pretty much average among the top tablets but at the same time of course being a powerful tablet with smooth interface interaction and a solid multitasking and application running.

The size of this tablet is pretty much what you see on the iPad 2, but looks like the iPad 2's diet was more effective since its a little bit thinner than the Samsung's tablet. 

About the cameras, since it comes with front and rear cameras, have received pretty good reviews, but of course since we are talking about tablets cameras are not a strong point in comparrison to other electronics.

The Galaxy Tab comes with a rear 3.0megapixel camera supported by a flash, and takes pretty sharp pics with an autofocus option, and the video is taken up to 720p becoming pretty decent between all other tablets. The front camera is not as sharp as the rear one but some users claim is better than the iPad's one.

The battery life is pretty much average, depending on the applications and functions running, the user might be able to get from 5 hours up to 8, but stays somehow behind the iPad and the Asus Transformer.

About the price, its pretty much what the retailers will ask for a 10" tablet, so it comes a good option when opting to buy one of these babies.
