Review:
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is a good
tablet at this price range. Its only rival in the same price tag is the Apple
iPad2 only WI-Fi model which cost around Rs 24,500. But the Galaxy Tab has a
major advantage over the iPad2. The apple iPad2 does not him 3G options in the
same price range. The Galaxy Tab has many more features which are better when
compared to the Apple iPad2.
The
Samsung Galaxy Tab2 runs the android Ice Cream Sandwich very smoothly. It doesn't matter If u want to buy a tablet for office use or for entertainment.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab2 which runs on Android 4.0 has a great app store
commonly called the Play Store. The Play store has a good collection of apps.
The auto rotation on this tab is quite decent. If u insert a SIM card in it and
take benefit of 3G on the move, calling facility (for those who think it’s not
weird holding a 10.1” tab to their ears), messaging etc. the browser works
really well. While using the tab we noticed that it does lag a bit. The Wi-Fi
connectivity is also very good. Games like Temple Run, Subway Surfers work
nicely. We noticed that it does lag while gaming. The video playback on this
tab is good. You can watch full HD movies on it.
7.5/10
