Samsung has released a new firmware that speeds up the default browser and the default Launcher is now also very fast. It has also been improved, the color slightly adapted (decent) and some small things. The keyboard can now also multi-touch. Am still very satisfied with the device.
__
Hardware:
The processing of the device properly. Although it is plastic and not a more noble metal as it is now so "in" but is it still feels very high quality. Free flowing. Samsung has done a good job here. Nothing creaks or gives in. It is easily processed perfectly. Point.
The camera on the back makes surprisingly good photos. The Frontcam is more likely to use only for video chats, the Photo light a nice complement. But often safely expectant ego does not need.
The sensor buttons respond very well if you have the Tablet "wrong" keeps you away something. Solution: Simply rotate the tablet. I left the keys we scroll with the right thumb. Works perfectly.
The touch panel itself recognizes up to five fingers and reacts very quickly and accurately. There is nothing to complain about. The panel itself has a good point of view but not perfect. The display is very sharp and makes colors are good enough. Actually fits here, too everything. It is very bright, viewing angle is more than adequate and it responds quickly to five points. What more do you want?
The brightness sensor is positioned but a bit unfortunate. It can happen that one covered him with his finger. I have but it generally disabled as annoyed me these adjustments. The brightness itself to provide a very fast and easy on the Notification bar. Just like GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and Airplane mode.
The device has very good stereo speakers on the bottom. Nen standard interface for tablet PCs, a Micro, GPS, WiFi g / n, Bluetooth, a gyro, Sim card slot and a slot for SD cards min. Right gibs also volume and power on / off. Is the 3.5 mm connector on the top.
There are in-ear headphones.
It has NEN 1Ghz Samsung processor, 512MB Ram and ne strong GPU.
16 GB provide sufficient space on the device. You can but if you just want to expand via SD card.
Performance:
I've replaced the default launcher against Launcher Pro. Nothing shakes, nothing is delayed. That thing just makes use of cool. The load times of games are extremely fast and some one has a real graphic fireworks on the screen. Apart from a few brief Nachladeruckler in apps (if a scollbare list nachläd eg) I can not find anything negative.
Again, one can say. The device works with respect. Performance is very mature.
Aaaber the installed browser is a pain. This creates scrolling no liquid. Not even with deactivated Flash. He just feels slow. Remedied but Opera Mobile. This makes surfing the Tab fun. The browser is incredibly fast and can serve well also.
Service:
Actually, it's a great phone. The operation corresponds to a normal Android device. I think at 7 "falls not so negative consequence. To me it is so far negative attention in any app. Samsung Apps provides several customized with but I use not even.
In Samsung Store it should give customized apps but for DACH there are only two apps ... I think there is but unlocked even more.
Edit from 24.11 .: more apps are available via Kies.
But I miss nothing. It runs easily. But of course I welcome any improvement.
But it is true. It's a great phone.
Browser:
The default browser is like saying trash. Incomprehensible as Samsung can deliver the Tab with such a browser ...
Opera Mobile will help. Unfortunately, the beta has a bug. It starts only in landscape mode. But can then be rotated as usual.
Edit from 24.11 .: Bug now eliminated
Apps:
Most I tested apps are scaled to the screen. May look partly. Strange but can not therefore serve poor.
The Gameloft games seem to be adapted. At least the resolution seems to fit, and the file is filtered codenamed the Galaxy Tab. The Games run smoothly and can be operated well. Thanks Gyro has no disadvantages in the motion control.
Gameloft has ever so some beads. Just gaze on their side.
Battery life:
Well, it has withstood today 9 clock until 22:00 in the evening of my almost continuous use. I find actually okay because I have thoroughly tested on videos to games everything.
Edit from 24.11 .: After two weeks the battery lasts about 2 days with good utilization
Other:
In eBook Store I can not buy magazines or newspapers
Edit from 24.11 .: has now been unlocked
Samsung has integrated its own and extensive Task Manager
Swype is installed but does not help with the size. The paths are too long.
There is no menu for manual phone updates (or I do not find him)
Edit from 24.11 .: updates on gravel
Conclusion:
The device is the first mature Android tablet which I see or hold in my hand. It's just fun. It just works.
However, it also noted that Android is a mobile OS is but it works surprisingly well on tablets. I do not particularly praise or criticize the device. Because Samsung has just done a good job. It is worth the money and you do nothing wrong with a purchase.
Edit from 24.11 .: Further very happy :)
