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...

"The problem is, the niche itself might seize to exist in a few months' time as quad-core slates' prices start to drop."

You mean "cease to exist", right?

                  I dont understand why do people always compare the hardware of samsung with that of apple ipad.

                  Well the main difference between the 2 is the operating system and the usability.

                  What makes ipad & iphone stand out in the crowd is it's operating system, ease of use.

                  Android maybe powerfull and apple products are easy to use for laymans.

                        So it has the disadvantages of the iPad pretty much. Non replace-able battery is a given, when you get replace-able batteries, the battery life goes down.

                        Why is touchwiz not a disadvantage? Might have great features but just slows the whole thing down

                            "Average screen resolution"?

                            Excuse me, but it's the max available resolution on Android Tablet and beyond that only iPad 3 has greater res... and it's already "average" so much that it's considered disadvantage...

                            I suggest you don't review any tablet anymore except iPad, it just doesn't make sense...

                              The Transformer original does not have an 8.0 megapixel camera.

                                Fisrt im not a big fan of Samsung, but the "Main disadvantages" are really silly.....

                                "Non-replaceable battery"?
                                'Really? all tablet are like that....


                                "Average screen"?

                                PLS screens are one of the best screens on the market
