Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 review: Make it two

19 April 2012
The question this second-generation Samsung tablet is trying to answer is not "How much better can it get?" The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 stops at how much. It feels safe pretending there's no such thing as a third-generation iPad...

I dont think apple make good tablets, their dependance on itunes for putting content on the tablet is a very severe limitation, especially video upload takes forever and is not good, as there is a format conversion.

Too many restrictions on ipad, it has nothing to offer me.

        your galaxy ace phonebook app seems to be lacking. half my #'s are not allowed to be grouped, sorted, or redily found within the database of conacts. is there a upgrade or 3rd party app that runs smoother, allows me access to contacts, allows me to add more info for my contacts, etc. Can anyone sudgest another alternative. By the way, keis, and "allshare" are difficult to configure and keis refuses to run on my xp box. program sees phone (runs when usb plugged in) but doesn't see cellphone or allow me to view information, back up, or swap data.

          Best tablet for viewing movies, proper position/design of the speakers makes surround sound possible for tablets. Loudness is good to. Ipad's all rely on itunes which is why I ditched my iphone and ipad!

            My sgs2 is better than this crap. When Samsung produce a Super Amoled Plus HD Gorilla Corning Glass 10.1" tablet with 8mpx and 1080@30 fps with a SD Card slot, 1.4Ghz Quad Core and 2Gb, I'll buy it. Samsung makes High end phones but crappy tablets. Apple makes the crappiest shit ever but great tablet. I wud go for a "Sam'pple" phablet :p

                        For a dual core device, this GTab 2 is really worth it. It use TI OMAP with NEON which is quite good at playing hd video, compared to previous GTab that using non-NEON Tegra2, Tegra2 is really suck when playing video.

                            A bit bewildered by the benchmark comments.

                            1. Review says " It holds its ground quite well against the ULP Nvdia GeForce inside the Tegra 3, though.", yet none of the devices it is compared against is running a Tegra 3
                            2. Benchmark comparisons are against other Samsung products, how about including tablets that compete with the Samsung current or post generation to make it more meaningful

                            One area GSMarena really needs to touch for Android is application compatibility, and see if some form of official test can come to see how it performs not just in fps but in compatibility would be a nice improvement.

                                To be honest I hate the New Ipad as much as i hate Samsung(TW and lack of premium materials) but I'm curious to see the ones that bashed Ipad when the new Galaxy Tab is even a much smaller improvement over the older Galaxy Tab
