Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (16GB) price range: $316.89 - $379.99
- Reviewed by: Eric Franklin
- Reviewed on: 05/10/2011
- Released on: 06/08/2011
The good: As thin as the iPad 2 and even lighter, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the sexiest Honeycomb tablet we've seen. Also, it has a 3-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front camera, and powerful dual speakers.
The bad: The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves it feeling less solid than the iPad 2.
The bottom line: Sleek, sexy, and light, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets as close to the iPad 2 as any Android tablet before it.

Hardware is great, but what about the software?
by kgloffice on July 8, 2011
Pros: Solid system for casual to professional users
Cons: Where's Netflix, and Hulu?
Summary: This review will be just as valid whether you have a 16GB or 32GB system.
99% of reviewers agree the hardware is good to excellent. I agree.
Now for some ...Summary: This review will be just as valid whether you have a 16GB or 32GB system.
99% of reviewers agree the hardware is good to excellent. I agree.
Now for some notes on the functions and software.
Stock software touchpad keyboard has excellent response. I am able to practice touch-typing with it, though my error rate is a little higher than normal....mostly because I don't touch the screen strongly enough at times. There are dozens of alternative keyboards at the apps store. Samsung has announced they will add Swype capability in a future update.
Connecting to my PC (Win7 Pro) via the USB cable and transferring files is easy. You can get the USB driver from Samsung's web site if you have problems. (Mini-Kies is not needed). Put your document files in the "download" folder so QuickOffice can find them.
The bundled QuickOffice HD does a good job of allowing you to open PDF, Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents without problems...at least the ones I opened and tested.
Excel with macros opens without problem for the macro sets in the spreadsheets I use. Powerpoint opens normally, with fonts and formatting intact as does Word...again for the documents I normally use. PDF documents display normally as well. Powerpoint presentations play normally.
I would not try to do any heavy editing with these documents without a mouse at this point, but maybe I'll learn how to do it efficiently with the touch pad in the near future.
The iTunes store charges $20 for QuickOffice, which is free on the Samsung.
The Android Amazon Kindle app works flawlessly. I have several books downloaded without problem.
I prefer K-9's email client to the stock Android client: it collects all of my email accounts (except Gmail) into a single area that I can review and respond as needed.
Pulse is a reasonable quick-news application that works without problem. (I use the Huntington Post app from the Android market more often)
Flash 10.3 works well: it does work within the stock browser for my tablet, though someone reported it did not work on theirs.
YouTube, as always, displays and plays beautifully: some buffering when tethered to my Samsung Vibrant 3G, but none on home wi-fi.
Google Talk is beautiful! I have video chatted with members of my family over their PCs without any problems. It is nice to be able to stand up and move if needed. The ability to switch between the front and rear cameras is a plus, especially if you want to show something to the other person on your chat.
Tethering the Tablet to my Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile) is a piece of cake and works very well. One tech note: if I hide the SSID on the phone, the Tablet does not recognize it. The station ID needs to be broadcast for the Tablet to connect.
(A colleague's iPad2 would not tether to his iPhone unless he called AT&T to get permission...odd, since he has a data plan on both devices.)
OK, I admit, I downloaded Angry Birds and it plays fine.....
I have not tried Movie Studio but plan to in the future.
Weatherbug works beautifully: best implementation of that software that I've seen to date and includes quick connectivity to weather radar.
Other than Angry Birds, I haven't spent much time on the "Samsung Apps" store which just updated itself as I was typing this review...
Bottom line: a robust set of software for basic to professional use with email and common business documents, as well as entertainment and video chatting.22 out of 23 users found this user opinion helpful.

The galaxy tab 10.1 is Exellent
by THEBOSSMADRID on June 13, 2011
Pros: This is a great device. Image quality is fantastic and smooth. Also it is super thin and lite weight and it doesnt feel like it would break anytime soon. This is on par with the ipad 2 if not better. I give it an A++
Cons: The only cons I can think of is the lack of plug-ins like a mini or micro sd card. Also there is no expandable storage which i think would have helped.

Summary: Had a tough time deciding between this and the iPad 2. I went with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 because I liked the Android OS on my Droid X and was familiar with the apps. I've had this for almost two weeks now and have absolutely no regrets.

The Only Android Tablet Worth Purchasing So Far
by malciv on June 20, 2011
Pros: Beautiful design. Surprisingly decent rear camera. Speakers are clear and loud.
Cons: The screen could have a higher pixel density (if you zoom in on words or some pictures you can see rough edges). The Android OS still needs some polish. The 16:10 aspect ratio makes the tablet feel long in your hands.
Summary: If you want a high quality tablet and don't want to be tied to iTunes then this is the only REAL option you have... and its a good one. ...
Summary: If you want a high quality tablet and don't want to be tied to iTunes then this is the only REAL option you have... and its a good one. I got the tablet a few days ago and I haven't been disappointed. This isn't a perfect tablet and it is far from an iPad killer, but it's definitely in the same class. The Pros far outweigh the Cons. If you want a really good tablet that isn't hamstrung by iTunes then the 10.1 Tab is a great choice.

My Galaxy tab 10.1 is running netflix and hulu!
by thomasvision on July 30, 2011
Pros: Slimmer than Ipad2, Lighter than Ipad2, more customizable than ipad2 (which allows me to run netflix and hulu). Awesome internet browsing experience! Perfect Tablet for the Tech savvy! Can download PDF files for online books (free) and of course FLASH (wh
Cons: No expandable storage (however using cloud apps like Mozy, googlemusic, and box may make the need for SD cards a thing of the past). Android Market place still needs work so users can find tablet specific apps! The best thing about this Tablet is being ab

Summary: The bottom line is this is the perfect tablet; for those who are tech savvy. For the average user who has no idea or care for what rooting your tab means the simplicity of the ipad may be their safe haven. But for the tech geek like myself the possibilities are endless. I have owned 4 tablets thus far, Galaxy tab 1, Ipad 1, Acer iconia and the Galaxy tab 10.1 is by far is my favorite. Don't get me wrong even if your not geek you will still be able to do twice as much with the Galaxy tab 10.1 than the Ipad. The tab 10.1 is now syncable with kies so I was able to sync it with my PC and Mac to download movies and music to my tab 10.1. Video chatting with the Tango app is great. Games like backbreaker look great on its beautiful screen. Once Android Market gets its act together the Galaxy tab 10.1 won't be able to be beat.
I just put download Netflix API in Google and downloaded it. There are videos on YouTube for how to get hulu (advanced but worth it).

Its really four and a half of star for this tablet.
by muuch23 on July 17, 2011
Pros: its so light i can hold it for hours. The display is big and vivid. I can enjoy the internet like im suppose to. Some people dont like the plastic back but i love it. Plus google maps, and google navigation built in. And the camera is not bad at all. Oh d
Cons: Honey come is pretty good but not as refine as the ios of the ipad. But the only real complaint is there is no SD card slot. If this tablet had an SD slot it would of killed the ipad and all other tablets. Samsung you drop the ball with no sd card.
Summary: Being a proud and lucky ipad2 owner, I must say this is the android tablet to beat. Its so thin and light which to me is the meaning of the ...

Move over iPad2 for the thinner, lighter, best Tablet!!
by 1377jchrist on August 12, 2011
Pros: Thinner than the iPad 2, lighter than the iPad2, has flash browsing (unlike the iPad 2). 16:9 screen display (wide screen) that is absolutely amazing. There is a keyboard dock that is rivaled to none out for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. In a nutshell this is curr
Cons: The only cons are the android market is just really starting to make the transition to include Tablets in there market (but there is a featured section of apps "For Tablets" which everybody was complaining there wasn't). The other con is no HDMI to connec
Summary: Seriously consider buying this tablet before you go out and drop the exact same amount on the iPad 2. Because you may be disappointed with your browsing experience on an ...

Just As Sleek and User Friendly as the Ipad
by Tervuren12 on July 5, 2011

Cons: Less Apps, Less accessories.

Summary: I have had my tablet for a week now and been very please with its performance. I borrowed an Ipad for a week prior to my decision and went with android for two reasons. 1 already with android and the tablet and two the video / horizontal viewing width.
I would say that both tablets are equal, and the only reason to pick one over the other is your personal situation. Do you have apps with android ? or with apple? do you have I tunes ? or music doesn't matter to you ?2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
