Here are my impressions:
Package Contents:
Small documents (not very helpful), a USB cable, USB port with the power outlet to connect the cable, an adapter to connect a USB device (amazing!), White-ear headphones with remote and mic, although the tablet heard.
Overall impression:
The tablet is well finished, plastics are of good quality and elegant white dress makes. Fingerprints are visible on the screen at the back and on the hull. Navigation is easy with one hand, over the edges of the screen are enough to put your fingers on it. The size of the tablet is surprisingly it to greater sattend.
The grip in both cases (portrait and landscape) is not disturbing due to the low weight of the tablet, the fact to have big hands to hold it in portrait is a limit if this is I think.
So there has 3 buttons on the right side of the tablet, one to unlock / lock (also turn on / off), one to increase and the other to decrease the volume. There is a 3.5mm jack on top and the Micro SD port on the left flank.
Screen didnt pleasant setting, pixels are slightly visible, the colors are beautiful and however faithful. The bottom navigation bar and status bar takes up some space on the screen
Internet:
The default browser is (as said) not terrible The navigation bar (with back button and following with the search bar "disappears" when you go down on the page, which means to go back to the top of the page to navigate on the internet, not very effective).
I recommend google chrome and firefox, my choice is the first (less bugs, more fluid and pleasant to the use).
With low-resolution screen, it is necessary to zoom in on Internet, navigation in landscape mode is recommended for comfort.
Video Player:
The integrated media player by Samsung is just the best tablet on today without downloading third-party applications and I have been convinced! It reads avi, mkv, all without saccade dune and provided very good picture quality (for once, the definition of the screen is forgotten) and even sound (both by the speakers as the headphone jack).
Read books:
The screen on this penalizes the books going rather well, this could be better but it's sufficient, however for magazines, this is more difficult, the pixels are quite visible and definition of screen gives an impression of blurred This is a shame.
Interface:
Many widgets are preinstalled on the tablet and not enough to download surcharge. Beware the addition of animated widgets that eat battery, and for animated wallpapers such but exhaust the battery quickly.
The interface is nice, reactive, but suffers from micro slow at times, I recommend often enough to close applications, to install advanced task killer to spot that it closes background applications.
In this regard, many of applications launch at startup (in manager of applications) You define unnecessary ones and those you no nutiliserez, so remember to vacuum by "turning off" the worst you can always restore Default applications.
A restart time to time will close a little everything is open.
Playstore (market):
A web browser is required (google chrome or firefox), the application dactualité flipboard, kitchen scullion The application, the application for reading pdf adobe reader, the application Aldiko to read books, games like angry birds.
Battery life:
As i mentioned above, tricks to preserve the autonomy of the tablet, such a useful function in the settings of wifi, top left with small features, it allows rub off wifi tablet when it is in standby mode (less resignation, more battery).
The load remains fast, a little more than 3 hours to recharge on sector without use it.
Note: The tablet does not charge in connection with the USB to the computer.
Strengths:
+ Design, finishing
+ Lightweight, comfortable grip
Autonomy +
+ Complete integrated Multimedia Player
+ Expandable memory with Micro SD
+ Full Packaging
+ Update Jelly Bean.
Weak points:
- Definition of the screen (the pixels are slightly visible)
- Integrated Web browser means (google chrome and firefox are available on the market)
- Poor picture quality of the handset (hence video)
- The software samsung kies not very useful
- The size of the screen is "eaten" by the top status bar, and navigation bar at the bottom (problem of Android)
- Real memory 4,47go (instead of the advertised 8gb).
For writing this comment, I put all the updates from the first minutes of use, navigation is more pleasant (both on the button layout as interface in general), your judgment might be different (of course positive ).
Unbeatable value for money! Has purchased 195 coupled with the offer of reimbursement of 50 by Samsung or 145 in total, no rival for that price (other tablets Archos course).
It serves as a movie player, reading light books / magazines, internet browser and so on ... In short you have an all in one product for a reasonable sum.
At The approach the holidays, she will make a great gift! I recommend the white version, less messy, more class and aesthetics for my taste.
SHIFT after 2 months of use:
The screen is really super messy, it's embarrassing. Moreover, it is penalized because of its definition, the zoom is regularly required on web pages and books / magazines.
The grip is good but the back of the shelf slides with a little lacquered plastic ...
For reading books, I recommend Aldiko which remains the best (after dozens of tested applications ...).
Autonomy down quickly I think, I do not use it often but the percentage decreases significantly. I appreciate the quick charge however.
The tablet is recognized as a multimedia device (such as a USB stick, in fact) and the memory card is inside too (no need to remove the card).
This is still a very good price / quality ratio with the refund.
