Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T) Review

(SGH-I497) Score: 65 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T) is an amazing Android tablet launched some years ago, in 2012, packed with an exceptional 1500 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, an enormous 10.1 inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 3 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera. We will get a better idea about this tablet's pros when we get into deeper details.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T) is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip, including an extremely powerful Dual-Core processor clocking at 1.5 gigahertz and only 1 GB RAM which is a little bit poor comparing with the Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T)'s impressive processing power. Graphic calculations usually eats lots of processing time, so the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T) uses a 400 MHz Adreno 225 GPU to help the processor with those tasks. This device counts with an interesting 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, allowing you to install hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.

Samsung didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 20.7 oz tablet device. Being just 0.38" thick,this device is very slim and good-looking. The Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T) is quite a compact tablet, taking into consideration it packs a 10.1 inches display and it only has 10.1 inches long.

This tablet features two cameras, a 3 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front side camera. It can also film videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD). In addition, the camera counts with a few good features like smile detection shooting, auto-focus and geo tagging.

Samsung equipped this device with a good level 10.1" display, and a resolution of 800 x 1280 , which makes all photos and movies look nice. This display uses Super PLS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T) features a 7000 mAh massive Li-Ion non-removable battery, enough to provide this tablet with a marvelous battery life. An issue to take into consideration is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (AT&T)'s battery is non-replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to lose its charge, while having 7000 mAh you will probably replace this device before that happens.

This tablet features WiFi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a wireless modem), 4G LTE high speed internet connection and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a SIM card for GSM connection.

This device also includes a couple of interesting features as Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This tablet is very overpriced considering it costs 250 dollars, while many similar tablets cost much less than that. This device is probably very appropiate for you no matter if you want this tablet device mainly for internet broswing and social networks, need a device to play tons of games, love photography or are looking for a tablet for work.
