Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch Review

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch is a high quality tablet launched some years ago, in 2013, having a comfortable 8" multi touch display, a very fast 1500 MHz Dual-Core processing unit, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This tablet has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.29". While the Tab 3 8-inch is only 8.26" long, it's able to fit a a 8 inches display. The Tab 3 8-inch feels much lighter than what one would expect from a portable tablet this size.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch ships with an extremely powerful Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1500 MHz, bundled in a Samsung Exynos 4 Dual system chip and a big 1,5 GB of RAM. Graphic intensive apps often consume a lot of processor time, so it also has a 266 MHz ARM Mali-400 MP4 GPU to unload the CPU. This tablet comes with a impressive 32 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, allowing the user to store lots of apps, games, photos and videos without thinking about filling the portable tablet.

The Tab 3 8-inch includes a good level 8-inches display with a 800 x 1280 resolution, providing this tablet with a good image quality. This display uses Super Clear LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This tablet has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos up to 1280x720 (HD) at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also has auto-focus and geo tagging.

This tablet features WiFi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G fast connection and also HSPA+ connection type, a bit slower 4G technology and fast 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This tablet also includes a handful of cool characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This tablet comes with an amazing 4450 mAh non-removable battery providing this tablet a great battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this tablet's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins losing capacity, although with such a great capacity you will probably discard this device before that happens.

Samsung is selling this tablet for $ 229, which is a rather high price for a device this level. No matter if you will use it for work, you love taking pictures, are looking for a tablet to majorly use social networks or want this tablet to play tons of games, this tablet is probably the right choice for you.
