itreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

It may now be selling for a far more palatable price, but £300 is still a lot to pay for an entry-level tablet still in the shadow of the iPad. That said, it's both easier to carry and more comfortable to use than Apple's tablets, though - Flash video aside, this tweaked smartphone OS just isn't in the same ballpark - and we do have serious reservations about the screen. Still, highly skilled and easy to carry anywhere, the GT-P1000 is what it is: a large smartphone that's much, much easier to use than most for surfing, reading and simple word processing.

We had some very good things to say about the Samsung Galaxy Tab during our tests. The tablet from Samsung is fast, the screen is sharp and bright, the device is effective in multitasking and its size is ideal to carry around in pockets and purses.

Let me start this by saying the Galaxy Tab is not a necessity, it's a luxury item that can be very useful. I've tried three or four different tablets now and the Tab is the perfect one for me. Is it for everyone? Definitely not. It hits the sweet spot when it comes to size, weight, portability, and usability. Great battery life combined with a beautiful screen and a Hummingbird processor are just some things that set it apart from its Android counterparts, along with its much higher price tag. It's, without a doubt, the quality of the product that you're paying extra for.

GSMArena‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Samsung has worked hard to secure deals with virtually all major carriers worldwide and they are offering the Galaxy Tab at a lower subsidized price (some even for free) if you are willing to sign a contract. Now given the fact that you are likely to need a new plan for the Tab anyway if your carrier of choice got it, those are probably no-brainers and you can safely disregard all our remarks about the pricing. And if you aren’t willing to commit your long-term future, but do want to get your hands on a shiny new Tab, we’d suggest you wait a few months for its price to drop – by a lot.

Does much, but can be beaten for music and video by smaller and larger options. If you’ve not spent long with either Apple’s iPad or Samsung’s own Galaxy S. you’ll be mightily impressed, with no comparisons to have you doubting the Galaxy Tab’s all-round appeal.

So, what does Tab do that a Galaxy S phone (or any Android or iPhone) doesn’t do as well or that a laptop does better? Maybe video watching and, maybe, game playing. In other words, what does it do? What function does it create or improve upon? It can’t be a laptop replacement, it’s a worse camera than any Android phone or iPhone, there’s no desktop ecosystem supporting it, and, worst of all – it’s expensive. Sprint’s version with a 16 GB card is $649 for a giant Android phone that doesn’t make phone calls. The only customers are those with a “dumb” cell phone who want the benefits of a larger screen for Web surfing, movie-watching and game play. And in a few months, Tab is going to have a LOT of cheaper, better endowed competitors.

Overall, the Galaxy Tab feels solid, and well constructed while not being too gaudy. The 7” form factor leads to more portability, and expanded options when carrying it. In such scenarios like the pocket on the inside of a sport coat or jacket, the Galaxy Tab fits well, where the 10” iPad could not hope to compete.

The Tab may not quite match the iPad for luxurious ease of use or build quality, but shop around and you'll soon find it for £40 less than Apple's cheapest 3G version. However, it is more expensive than the entry level Wi-Fi-only iPad. Even so, the smaller Galaxy Tab has the capability to function as a phone and a camera, which will no doubt appeal to many. Flash on the browser will also have its fans, as will the add-on memory and the e-book reader functions that work just as well as its rival. Overall, the Galaxy Tab shows potential as an iPad challenger. With an eye on the forthcoming Gingerbread and Honeycomb upgrades, Android enthusiasts are likely to forgive its quirks, as this fondle slab ticks an awful lot of boxes.

It almost feels like AT&T released the Galaxy Tab on its network just so it wouldn't feel left behind. While it's nice that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is now available on all the major carriers, there's nothing that truly distinguishes AT&T's version from the others (unless you like paying through the nose for international data access). There are no unique apps, and it even lacks the mobile hotspot capability found on all the other versions. For those who plan to consume large amounts of data on the go, T-Mobile's 5GB plan makes the most financial sense over two years. For those with less demanding needs, Verizon offers a 1GB plan for $20 a month, which includes hotspot features for free. So while the Galaxy Tab is a very good device in and of itself, there's little reason to get it on AT&T's network.

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Tab met and exceeded expectations during our evaluation process. We thoroughly enjoyed surfing the Web, watching movies, checking email, and playing games on this tablet. The screen is bright and crisp and all in all, the unit felt very responsive. If you're in the market for a tablet PC this holiday shopping season, the Galaxy Tab is definitely one to consider.

We'll back up our original review and say that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is an impressive piece of hardware with an ideal size. Steve Jobs is wrong in declaring the seven-inch tablet "dead on arrival" because the Samsung Galaxy Tab is alive and kicking with its combination of function and mobility.Samsung Galaxy Tab

If you're considering a tablet purchase, I highly suggest testing both a Galaxy Tab and an iPad to see which meets your needs more. While I prefer the Tab's size, the iPad offers more tablet-oriented applications and a larger feature set, which makes it my tablet of choice.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the best non-Apple tablet so far, and there are reasons you might want it over an iPad—for example, because it fits in one hand. But AT&T's model isn't the best choice.

W orking with the Samsung Galaxy Tab is pleasant. The new Android tablet does what it is supposed to, actually our experience was almost identical to that of a modern smartphone, only now everything is in XL format. Still, there is one characteristic that can be an obstacle for its success, and that is the price tag.

A decent tablet but it’s very expensive and has little software that comes close to justifying the price.

U.S. Cellular lives up to its friendly rep with a squeaky-clean version of the best Android tablet, but it charges pretty high rates for moderate-to-heavy data users.

MacNN‘s review Edit Like Unlike

With a retail price of $599 off-contract, the Galaxy Tab is $30 less than the comparable 16GB iPad, but we're not sure it's automatically a bargain. We’re really disappointed with the web browsing, Flash and video chat performance of the Tab and we’re still a little perplexed with the form factor of the device, especially since you pay only slightly less for what amounts to much less screen area. To really steal market share from Apple, the Galaxy Tab would need to have a larger screen, more dedicated apps, and keep its dual-camera setup all while maintaining or dropping its price point.

Liliputing‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Samsung Galaxy Tab works great as an Android device. It has an excellent processor, good display, loud and clear speakers, and excellent battery life. The tablet can run virtually any app available for Android, even if some apps don’t scale properly to the display. In other words, the Tab is at least as good as the best Android phones on the market… except the US version doesn’t make phone calls.

The Galaxy Tab is a beautiful product with features that will make iPad owners envious, but its in-between size and possible carrier commitments hold it back from broad appeal.

Overall, the Android software just isn’t ready, so no matter how excellent the hardware might be (and it is good) it cannot compete with the iPad. When Android apps fully support tablet computers, the Galaxy Tab will be a real contender, but until then it is hugely overpriced, especially when you factor in a mobile contract for internet access.

A misleading app store means Verizon's offering is the least compelling of the Samsung Galaxy Tabs for now.

SlashGear‘s review Edit Like Unlike

For those making the jump to the Galaxy Tab, they’re getting a solid, well-built and flexible device that, while not perfect, is a compelling alternative to the iPad. Expensive, yes, and with limitations to be aware of, but they’re broadly the same criticisms leveled at Apple’s tablet when it launched. Apps like the Wall Street Journal’s show there’s a usability argument to be made for 7-inch slates, and it’s likely to be the first of many as Android tablet software development gains traction. This is a niche that looks unlikely to go away, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a solid starting point if you can look beyond its price tag.

The longer we spend with the Galaxy Tab, the more we find ourselves using it. That, perhaps, is the definition of a companion device – something which gradually works its way into your daily life, becoming your go-to gadget for ereader, browsing or messaging. It’s still a relatively narrow niche, and there’s undoubtedly plenty of competition from Apple’s iPad, but if Google’s is your OS of choice, the Samsung Galaxy Tab remains the best 7-inch Android tablet around.

With a good selection of tablet-optimized apps, access to the Android Market, and a brilliant high-res screen, the Galaxy Tab is the only real iPad competitor on the market right now. What we like about the Verizon version in particular is its textured back (which makes it easier to hold), strong 3G performance, and wallet-friendly 1GB data plan. The lack of video chat support gives us pause, but this feature hasn't worked very well on other Galaxy Tabs we've used, and Verizon will likely address this issue over time.

T-Mobile doesn't do much with software or packaging to make its Galaxy Tab stand out from Verizon and Sprint's offerings. However, the carrier's data plans clearly favor users with either a huge appetite for mobile broadband or a desire for a few short trips with data on the prepaid plan. If you plan to use the device as a mobile hotspot for your notebook, you may benefit from the 5GB/$39.99 a month plan, though you'll be getting only standard 3G speeds, not the latest 4G connectivity.
