Design, appearance, handiness:
Here there is nothing to complain about. The suspected Plastikanmututng is quite and not at all available. The unit is top in his hand (in a) and provides haptic louder positive stimuli. The wide edge around the screen may disturb one or the other, but you get used to it and it will eventually not about. The lateral control buttons (right / off and volume) have been blind after a few hours under control.
A touchscreen from getting dirty quickly, but this is true in fact apply to all devices. It empfihelt therefore always have a handkerchief or similar at hand. Personally, I use a paper towel. The screen is unprotected since acquisition with me and so far, despite the lack of protective film not a single scratch on it. A bag protects the unit during transport.
Equally important are the Androidsteuerknöpfe that are still separately from 2.x to the housing (in 3.x they appear). These are initially difficult to catch in the dark because the light goes off. But also because you get used to.
Screen:
Brilliant. Not much more I can not say. The colors are strong and light, the resolution is high enough to also
be able to read small text and the contrast also properly outdoors. Use the device as a Navi in the vehicle and there must
you abkönnen also sun.
Of course, the perspective is for technical reasons less than IPS devices but a 7 "tablet is in my eyes a single user device, as the viewing angle is almost always ideal.
Features:
Everything in it ! And that's meant as it was written. Someone mentioned a panacea. What's it look here a. The eggs do not taste like chicken, milk from the cow did not like, the wool is not as warm as the sheep and the meat is not as good as pork, but it's really all there is needed. On the one hand a screen in the compromise Size 7 ". Less than others because more portable. Larger than other because more usable. Each size has its advantages and disadvantages, but everyone must decide for themselves. For pure bed applications at home, it would be too small for me. As a full smartphone on the go, it would be too big for me. For both applications, alternatively, it is perfect.
This gives the functions Smartphone (mobile phone incl. Mail / calendar / mail), MP3 player, digital camera, video camera, eBook readers, GPS, GPS tracker, Videplayer and notepad at the factory.
Software:
Gravel is really only be described as scrap :) Sorry to say so, but I use it not practical after I installed it and tried it out.
Apps, there are now a dime a dozen, and for practically every little task also usually plenty of alternatives. And what can you say, at very many Android apps are free or available for free as a trial version. At the moment I set about 30 applications a, some daily, some rare and I bought only 2 or 3. The rest is free and fulfills its purposes perfectly.
Acoustics:
Reichts to call. To listen to music on its own was enough also. Who therefore can not manage sets in addition to a headset (required for frequent callers) or cute external powered speakers. So you can certainly fill a convivial evening.
Battery and runtime:
Caution is warranted. By default, with a few standard apps (eg. Twitter or Facebook) you quickly reach the limits. At the beginning I had some maturities of less than 1/2 day with naturally high stress. Identifies and eliminates one the weaknesses of some apps and tunes a bit around settles down after a period of initial euphoria in everyday use of the battery in my case at about 1 - 1 1/2 days straight. But that still includes surfing, play, listen to music, read e-mail traffic and browse the Market. The battery is charged for the Orignalgerät in under 3 hours. There are also several chargers for little money from third-party if you need a more.
Terms:
The use is, if one has even made friends with the screen and Andorid, properly. The vast majority of apps strten quickly, both finger use as well as pins are well recognized. No difficulties. Internet pages are generally as
known not intended and created for 7 "touchscreen and sausage fingers, since it may well be times Schierig to strike the right link. Through the continuous zoom and available pins but this is also not an insurmountable problem.
We come to the top of the Android / Galaxy system. Man takes his Galaxy, it connects through the charging cable to a USB port of his favorite computer and receives a query whether you want a pebble connection or simply a data connection. One chooses data connection and therefore has clamped the Galaxy as an x-any drive. Now check out the Explorer or whatever data on the device blades, create folders, subfolders, etc and all so pure. That's it! Images are readable, playable music, text, PDFs and EPUBs recognizes the Tab once and for unrecognized data, there are often alternative apps that make use possible. Each initial access is then queried whether you want to open the data with this or that application and is good. So once you have his data cable here (without the mains plug) can be anytime, anywhere distribute data or move to the Tab. I mention deliberately not the device class with which this does not work :)
Accessories:
Holders there a dime a dozen. Without wishing to values I recommend as the Spider-car. The actually always fits and can be used on a hundred other places. A protective sheath should treat yourself, there's something for almost every taste. I recommend this to put bags, on the one hand protect not only the screen and the other options offer the device upright or cross on a pad, just fine example for video use.
Furthermore, you should rate calls on a headset think (make sure to first test) and music lovers through connections to the stereo. If you want to write or draw much / paint will not get around a stylus.
Conclusion:
If you get involved in the Galaxy you not only get a portable screen with Internet connection, no, a rudimentary Navi, a state-of-the-art smartphone, a MP3 player, a portable video screen, an e-book reader and an extremely rudimentary Laptop is also included. Mind you already included, no extra costs. You then also spends a little more time in the Android Market, you can still dramatically improve many existing functions with great and free apps.
A little tip from me. Looking for a Navi there are better. You are looking for a laptop, there are better. You really are looking for a MP3 player, there are better. You really are looking for a smartphone, there are better. You really are looking for a video camera, there are better. And better digital cameras, there are a dime a dozen.
But if you want to carry only one device to spend a weekend at the beach where you do during the day 20 photos and 3 movies, afternoon a little surfing on the Internet, in the evening looking at the pictures and checked the TV and finally bedtime with pleasant music a couple wants to read pages, you are hereby served perfectly. Incidentally it was also the day still be reached by phone or could quickly make yourself a couple of minor calls, check his mail and calendar update.
So now you could get the idea the whole thing would be perfect. But if it is just not quite. The beginnings are set and the whole package is from my point of view very well. A few minor blemishes tarnish the impression, but form itself in the sum no real devaluation reason.
I forgive this 5 stars. But this vote is my personal opinion. My advice, make yourself and test extensively. Especially after the falls of recent months is the Galaxy Tab a real alternative if you do not always have to have the absolute best product for all applications.
What would possibly improve:
- To a USB port in order for example can directly on the device by means of adapters read different memory cards or sometimes just to transfer the file to colleagues on his PC (goes also via Bluetooth, but not everyone).
- A, at least one beautiful bag for the device where a pin or a cable with reinpasst :)
- More on the 7 "custom applications (apps) that run not only on Android 3.0
- Multitasking split screen would be great but unfortunately only utopia.
- The price was of course at the beginning of a joke, but absolutely appropriate towards the end of the sales period.
- A simple connection to projectors / monitors (there may already) would be great.
