Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet PC: Specs, price features and reviews

Specifications and reviews of Galaxy 10.1

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet

Typing on any touch screen has positives and negatives. Its flat surface certainly doesn't offer the feel and certainty of a physical keyboard, but the virtual QWERTY keyboard – available in landscape and portrait mode – offers some haptic feedback, which helps to a degree. In portrait mode, thumb typing seems to work best, but the larger keyboard of the landscape mode allows for normal typing if you pay close attention to avoid errors.

The browser application is exceptional for such a portable device. It offers the complete internet experience like on a computer with full-content web pages. It even has tabbed browsing just like on a computer, a particularly handy feature. Pages are rendered as quickly as you'd expect with any brand new computer.

Display features of Samsung Galaxy 10.1

Touch screen devices are all about the display, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a real winner as its surprisingly bright and crisp. The Galaxy Tab 10.1’s design is has 10.1-inch wide display and dominated by its 1200 x 800 pixel touch screen. It's surrounded by a black bezel, but otherwise the buttonless face of the device is all screen. The screen is very responsive to the touch of a finger. Panning from one screen to another is smooth and instantaneous. Multi-touch technology is available in many applications for zooming, and tapping hyperlinks will deliver you quickly to the next subject. Downloading apps from the Android Market is a simple process and installing them is even easier. Icons and shortcuts can be customized by dropping them where they are most convenient for your personal needs.

Galaxy 10.1 operating system, processor, storage

At the heart of the device, Samsung has provided a peppy nVidia Tegra2 Dual Core 1GHz processor and runs on Android operating system. It provides plenty of power to run the device smoothly over a wide variety of applications. Our test unit had 16GB of internal memory though a 32GB version is also available.

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 connectivity

You can easily connect to the internet via Wi-Fi which is 802.11 b/g/n, so you have the latest wireless technology, along with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. However, there is no way to connect to a cellular network for 3G or 4G internet, which is a little unusual. Some people may see this as a problem, while others may prefer to save money by not having a mobile contract.

Camera of Galaxy 10.1

The 3.0-megapixel rear camera takes good pictures. The camera application includes auto-focus, an LED flash and a few basic adjustments. Switching to video recording mode is simply a matter of moving an on-screen slide control. There's even a video editing app included, and you can embed still photos into your video project. The 2.0-megapixel forward-facing camera is ideal for video chatting. Our test device offers internet access via Wi-Fi only and it certainly isn't a cell phone, but we particularly like being able to make Skype video phone calls.

Battery, color of Galaxy 10.1

The Galaxy features a 7000 mAh Li-Polymer battery that offers about 10 hours of usage on a charge. Wireless connectivity is by Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, and the device also supports Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR Connectivity.

Other features of Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet

Whether you'll personally find it to be a little better or a bit worse than the iPad is a matter of personal preference. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 will run Adobe Flash, a feature notably missing from the iPad. Since so many web pages use Flash, this can be important. In our evaluation, we found that most content ran with ease, but while some graphics-intensive pages indeed played, they tended to be choppy. Once we closed some applications that were running in the background, Flash play was smoother still not as fluid as it should be.

An on/off switch, volume rocker and 3.5 mm headphone jack are located on the top edge. The sides sport stereo speakers that won't send chills up your audiophile spine but are much better than might be expected as built-ins. On the bottom there is a proprietary charging and docking port. The back cover is available in white or metallic gray. The browser application is exceptional for such a portable device. It offers the complete internet experience like on a computer with full-content webpages. It even has tabbed browsing just like on a computer, a particularly handy feature. Pages are rendered as quickly as you'd expect with any brand new computer.
