After Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Samsung is here with an
updated version presenting Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Well, honestly speaking the new version doesn’t
come with notable abundant changes. However, it is more stylishly designed, more
compact, sleek and slim, and much lighter in weight than its predecessor but
the functionality is no different than Galaxy Tab 2. Let’s analyze it in more
detail and find out if there are any key differences between the two.
Display and Design
The 10.1 –inch display of Galaxy Tab 3 adopts the similar
kind of design as its predecessors hold. The plastic chassis are glossy in
nature and showcases metallic border. This glossiness makes it welcoming for
fingerprints which are hard to remove. However, it is lighter in weight and
sleek and slim in design making it more portable.
It was a disappointment to discover that the very latest
Galaxy Tab 3 doesn’t come with Full HD display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800.
It displays somewhat unclear icons and graphic details appear less crispy.
Unlike the Tab 2, the speakers are located at the sides of the laptop at the
left and right edges. Unfortunately, the audio is not powerful enough, you’ll
have to find a quieter place in order to hear the stuff clearly.
Power & Performance
Packed with dual core Intel Atom Z2560 system on a chip with
the speed of 1.6 GHz, it appears to perform faster and better than the average
as compared to its competitor tablets.
As it comes with a dual core processor, it is more likely to be suitable
for multi-tasking and carrying out office tasks. With 1 GB RAM, it fails to
offer sufficient memory as compared to other tablets.
The tablet showed varied results when tested on few
benchmarks. The good news is, it performed a lot better than its previous model
producing better results. However, the touch was observed to be poor in
navigating the stuff on the screen. It lacked consistency as it occasionally
got stuck while working. It definitely couldn’t compete against Lenovo IdeaTab
S2110 which showcased relatively better results with the same screen size and
resolution.
Camera
To all the camera lovers out there, Galaxy Tab 3 won’t let
you down as it comes with 2 cameras, a rear camera of 3.15 mega pixel and a 1.3
megapixel front camera also catering autofocus.
You wouldn’t find this in other tablets that common. However, the
picture result wasn’t found to be very admirable as they lacked detail and
colors appeared to dull and not so happening. The 720p video recording revealed
almost the same kind of results with a poor audio quality. The camera comes in handy for emergency
needs, definitely not something good for making memories.
Software
Running on the 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Samsung TouchWiz, it
comes in with a lot useful features. Saving The Tablet’s battery in an
intelligent way by its smartStay feature, making the tablet to doze off when
you are not working on it. The Samsung Tab 3 is also a universal remote with a
built in IR blaster. This allows you change your TV settings, channels and
operate your cable box. Moreover, enjoy Game Hub, ChatON, Music Player, S
Voice, Samsung Apps, watch ON etc. Offered
by Samsung, some of these coming pre-installed. Well, you can get the rest of
desired apps from the standard collection of Google Apps.
Connectivity
The connectivity options are quite satisfactory. It has a
Wi-Fi connectivity to establish connections with local wireless networks. Moreover,
it comes with the 4.0 Bluetooth connection enabling to pair up your accessory
devices. It is also installed with Micro-USB wired and charged connection and a
3.5 mm headphone connector.
Battery Life
Lastly, coming on to the battery life, with 6,800 mAh, it scores an average
battery life of 8 hours which is usual for a 10.1 inch tablet. This time period
is quite sufficient for having longer relaxed working hours.
