versions of the Galaxy Tab 3
First of all, fitting to shed some light on the confusion associated with numerkami. Typing in Google or another search engine slogan “Galaxy Tab 3″ the most we get the results of different stores, but to the amazement of many potential buyers may be different specifications.
In fact, the slogan “Galaxy Tab 3″ include the models of Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 3 8.0 Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy 3 Table 3 Lite 7.0. As if this were not enough galactic confusion, all are focused more on customer budget and premium segment covers the line Galaxy Note. Fortunately, in this madness is the method – numbers mean diagonal screen, while 7.0 Lite is simply extremely budget version of “normal” 7-inch Galaxy Taba.
For the moment I will discuss the cost-effectiveness of different models, far enough to know that when it comes to performance, the software or the solutions are all twin structures. Most of the time and experience I have with the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (codename SM-T210), which is my personal tablet for media consumption and it is based on the description.
Build quality
Fresh out of the box the Galaxy Tab 3 makes an excellent impression. Even with a relatively large amount of force do not bend or creak, everything is well folded. This is particularly worth emphasizing that the construction of Taba Galaxy 3 used plastic. It is true that the side walls of the tablet manufacturer wystylizował aluminum (gray color, characteristic of brushing lines), but on closer contact, they do not deceive anyone.
physical buttons is a classic – on the right side of the provided short and long power key volume . They are well perceptible jump, no problem you can also feel for the dark fingers. Below the screen znajdzimy classic combo options Runner-home-back, with the innovation that this center is physical.
The back side of the housing Galaxy Tab 3, although the aesthetic and robust (I could not scratch it), it works best when sweaty or wet hands. Simply put, the tablet is able to slightly slip out of your hands. The phenomenon is rather limited scale – hardly comes off in the whole of the hand, but it may drop a few millimeters. Placed on the camera protrudes slightly above the plane of white plastic, but does not affect the balance of the device when it is on the table.
Another problem is that incredible screen collects fingerprints. Polishing it to factory state is relatively simple (using a microfiber cloth from the set), but in the long run Sisyphean, simply because once tapnąć screen to spoil the whole effect.
At first, important concerns evoked mnia slot bezel on a micro-SD card. It is fastened with one hand on transparent fishing line, similar to those which are fixed in a glass rimmed glasses. The flap can be easily rotated at an angle of 360 degrees or flex away from the device, which does not need to raise confidence. In the long run nothing but it did not happen.
Display
One of the compromises that allow the reduction of the final price is the screen resolution. Seven-inch Galaxy Tab 3 can boast of only 1024 x 600, and its bigger brothers slightly better 1280×800. These are the results worse than the Nexus 7 and MemoPad 7 HD, in addition, the resolution was … debuting over three years ago the first Galaxy Tab. Besides, the display is livable. The colors are very average, but good viewing angles. The maximum brightness could be a bit larger, but allows for comfortable work out. Sometimes a little strange working for this automatic brightness setting, for example. Reason noticeably increasing the light intensity after work in the middle of the night. Fortunately, manual configuration is very convenient.
Another weak side of the display Galaxy Taba relate to its physical structure. I have written about the collection of fingerprints, the screen has a tendency to reflect on everything like a mirror. Switch off the device (even dirty!) Makes the role of the mirror almost perfectly, and while the setting is too little illumination results in watching his own face on the screen. As for this price segment but acceptably, and the whole “give advice”. The equipment is performing perfectly, however, as e-book reader and manga.
Another thing that said Nexus 7 in this respect is much, much better …
Camera and Multimedia
Samsung has equipped the Galaxy Tab 3 in two dedicated cameras. Front (for fans of “selfie”) is not shocking that true image quality, but the video conferencing allows up to something more than the general recognition of our face by the other party conversation. Simply writes in his role, providing a good chance (like the front optics) the quality of the resulting image.
3 MP rear camera performs surprisingly poorly. Pictures of the outside of the larger shots show that individual objects are patches of color without sharp edges. The noise is terrible. Unfortunately, the small amount of light (eg. Indoor) there are only more, but it’s hard to expect anything else. No flash does not improve the situation here.
is decent although Galxy Taba software to capture images. It allows, among others, change the white balance, set the photo resolution, make a panorama (even sensibly spline, better than the iPhone 5S) or change the point of measurement. So I really miss just HDR.
Webcam records images at a resolution of 1280×700 only 30 frames per second, and the recording quality is at best a very average. The sound is good, though a little too quiet. The default video player can handle almost anything a user decides to throw him. This leaves only exceptions are MKV files.
Battery
Battery Galaxy Tab 3 of 4000 mAh provides nine hours of uninterrupted viewing of the film. Running time grows even more when economical energy economy, for example. Reading ebook with WiFi and Bluetooth off. Only demanding games consume battery like Pac-Man ghosts.
In a practical use for a longer period of time usually once I load tablet for 2 days. Every day I fire a few games (Pixel Dungeon, Asphalt 8) and browse for about two hours in the evening Internet resources. It is like most good result, especially since we are talking about more budget device.
Performance and software
By default the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3 has an on-board Android 4.1, and “eight” and “ten” – 4.2 Jelly Bean. Added to this is of course author overlay Samsung TouchWiz. The whole works very well, and the biggest advantage of the overlay is its ease of handling. Settings panel probably can no longer be simpler and more intuitive, retractable notifications panel contains the most necessary switches (WiFi, Bluetooth, screen rotation, mute) and I am convinced that if given the device a person who in life did not support Android, would give the council quietly . Fortunately, Samsung restricted to a minimum list of default applications, and there is little here often unnecessary improvements manufacturer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to uninstall the application “Rzeczpospolita”, and to view photos and e-mails are the default two programs at once.
A little worse falls liquidity. Android is not known for this aspect (somewhat unfairly, as shown by the Nexus 7), overlay additionally consumes power resources, and these do not have much. Exynos 4214 1.2 GHz with 1 GB of memory does not overthrow his knees and subside somewhat nexus 7 During everyday use tablet running smoothly, the browser is started by a good 2-3 sekudny, but later runs briskly. Problems begin until after the close of 3D games, when you can see on the screen doczytujące TouchWiz icons and change the desktop loses frame of animation.
But there is no tragedy, it’s hard to expect a low price for something more than a dual-core system with 1GB of RAM, and the daily work is abundantly sufficient. Interestingly, the 10-inch Galaxy Taba 3 already includes Intel’s Z2560 system, and Tab 3 8.0 clocked Exynos 1.5 GHz.
Rate and review
What Galaxy Tab 3 is, everyone sees. It’s well designed and priced tablet with good battery, the main disadvantages are low resolution screen, śrdnia performance and a terrible camera. Main competitor, the Nexus 7 wins in terms of images and display, but there is no slot for an SD card and small features TouchWiz, including, for example. Free audiobooks.
Galaxy Tab 7 (version 8 GB or 7.0 Lite) is certainly good as the first tablet device to a person, an inexpensive gift or a typical “work horse”, electronic magazines and e-book reader lying still on the table in the living room. It is also worth mentioning that the cheapest Lite version appeared in the edition for the youngest users of technology. No need to even make the effort to get such a device at a price below 500 zł, and the competition in this range are mainly Chinese tablets, often poorly made externally or without the support of the manufacturer. The only rival brand that comes to mind is the Dell Venue 7, which is also not shocking screen, and this is simply a weak battery.
looks worse profitability of more expensive models. 8-inch version is now 800 zł upward and 10.1 with 3G than 1200 zł. Better choices include representatives of the series ASUS Memo Pad, and often the Lenovo Yoga. Samsung saw the situation on the market and responded (only this resolution ….) series of Galaxy Tab 4, of which more shortly.
