Processing: Well, you can not say anything against. Clear the plastic is not as high as Aluminum, but almost everyone has that I know - whether iPad or Android Pad - a protective sheath, so that's rarely seen the great aluminum unibody of iPads. I do not see any disadvantage in a well-processed plastic housing and has the Tab 3
Feel and touch screen: The tab fits comfortably in your hand is not too slippery and the touch screen responds quickly and accurately.
Connections: The Tab 3 offers really everything you could wish for current to connection options: fast Wifi (abgn), Wi-Fi Direct, USB 2.0 and a SD card slot of SDXC cards. Sufficient, who for example want an infrared port (Universal Remote Control) should pick up the Note 10.1
Negative: No micro HDMI, for Mirracast compatible and with the proper USB dongle (50) can, for example, wireless FullHD stream videos to your TV.
Sound: Ok, listen to me with good sound from tablets or smartphones! However, the built-in speakers do their job and are looking for a tablet in order.
Performance: Here we go. Here the Tab 3 loses same time a star in my rating. Firstly Androidanpassung is probably not as great as here and there lays the Tab 3 when opening an app once just short pauses a. It has also been suspended several times while testing the browser. However, the worst thing for me was that my iPad2 which now already is a little older and has a single-core 1GHz processor and only 512MB RAM (afaik), change more quickly between apps. Even the start of some apps (Angry Birds here) went faster on the iPad 2! Since the Table 3 is felt not one bit faster than the Galaxy Tab 2. I think with updates is still a lot to do there, but it was disappointing.
Display: ... is quite ok, but because Samsung has donated its new smartphones with displays about 400dpi surprise the low resolution of 1280x800 (160dpi) something. Although still more than my old iPad2 has and what brightness, viewing angle etc. As for the Galaxy Tab 3 really good, but I had since at least more resolution than expected the Galaxy Tab. 2
For comparison, the rivals for the top spot in 10.1 Android Tablet market:
Sony Xperia Z: 1920x1200
Google Nexus 10: 2560x1600
Asus MemoPad HD: 1920x1080
Galaxy Note 10.1: 1280x800 (FYI: This is the same resolution as the first note had Smartphone ...)
Camera: As had the Tab 2 an 0.3 and a 3 megapixel camera and the Tab 3 has a 1.3 megapixel front camera and a 3 megapixel on the back. Both just too bad for pictures, just about ok for video chat.
Conclusion: All in all, I can see as far as the equipment is not much difference to the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Overall, the Tab has become lighter and slimmer, but a real upgrade for reason such as owners of Tab 2 I do not see because of the (so far) mediocre performance of the Tab 3.
I wonder really what the relevant Android sites have since tested for devices because in the synthetic benchmarks, the performance has the Tab 3 of super.
Then grab but rather to a 10.1 Tab competitors because you get more for your money. For example, the Acer Iconia Tab A1-A10 (almost identical features, the same display resolution but quad-core CPU and 100 cheaper. And the Sony Xperia Z I get next FullHD Dipslay and quad-core CPU also waterproof, infrared port (universal remote control ), 8 megapixel camera ...
