Summary:
Visually, the device is a real eye-catcher ". The back, which is made of leather, it can not act as cheap as the other plastic dishes (see. To the Samsung mobile phones). My unit creaks anywhere, neither on the home button still in any edges. I have found me a convenient cover and this fits perfectly. The sleep and wake-up mode is working properly.
I bought it in white and with W-LAN feature (not at Amazon.com, but with a dealer near). When it turns on the first time, one sees immediately that the display is super sharp and detailed. Everything looks sharp and without soft expectant letters ", no matter what the background. Even the screen protector does not reduce this sharp image. The illumination of the display is both in daylight and in the dark super. I see no disturbing points, or cone of light or even bad edged letters.
Synchronization with the Play Store went super fast and all my favorite apps, which are also suitable for the tablet were downloaded and installed. Yes, there are many apps that are not needed, but the pre-installed and can not uninstall. But the power of the device does not notice this one. It is always running fast, without stuttering: both YouTube videos, as well as in the construction of web pages! However, one must here say that the Opera browser problems (slow, jerky, no adjustment in view of possible acts always a bit too small) that which is not the case with the Firefox browser. The apps work without any lag, even when running in the background more. Nevertheless, one should also here, as well as the smartphone, delete from and to the RAM memory and close open applications! With the S-Pen I work very much, but he does not work in all applications. One can use it as a pen and take smaller buttons better than with your finger. The additional functions that you can directly take a screenshot and record notes there may be helpful. So far I have not all been tested fully, what you can do with it. However, you still testing somehow all a bit at least, and until now I have nothing but positives about it. Likewise, the Multi Window. If you want to have multiple things at the same time open (eg mails, documents ...), such as is the case with Windows, you come here at his own expense. It works flawlessly and yet everything can be seen and you can work with it. I have chosen, in part because this tablet. Although I have a netbook, small and handy, but now it is almost no longer needed, I can also create and edit simple Word documents or Excel spreadsheets!
Now for the aforementioned Fritzbox problems: yes, it is true, it may happen that the connection is lost. This was the case especially in the beginning with me. Every now and then it ceases to shop when you scroll quickly in Play Store, but if you a bit high and then rolls down, the page loads the tablet back to normal. Every now and then it can happen that one off the Wi-Fi and has on again, but this is currently quite rare. It works 90% of properly! Problems had the tablet at the beginning with my Bluetooth headset. It had always lost the connection. This has even put right, but it emerges now and then. Maybe something is still fixed in the next update!
The Samsung keypad is in the tablet turned out better than the smartphone, in my opinion. I Swiftkey also deinstalled factor since it often occurred at the S-Note notebooks that if I wanted to delete letters that he had then appended my half word just behind oO at the original keyboard I had until now no problems and she responds well, with the S-Pen!
Supplied with an AC plug adapter and a USB charging cable is included. Unfortunately, no headset, which I somewhat sad think of Samsung (have however with the action from December to January, a memory card for free get). Because of the price you would expect this already! Likewise, it is only a short USB cable again so that the socket must be adjacent to the tablet, if you want to continue to work with! While the load times are a bit longer than expected. However, my S3 battery also keeps much longer than, for example, mini, while the stress!
Conclusion: I am very satisfied with the Tablet. There are little things that you could change from the perspective of Samsung (preinstalled Apps, a headset ...), but on the whole this tablet has earned 4 stars. I'm not a professional. I want to work with them, can take pictures (these look pretty good, have not yet been so many made) would continue to use my apps that I have grown fond of the smart phone, even on the tablet and therefore needed a fast reliable Tablet. This I have found! It will certainly be people who say that this or that tablet is better, faster or more efficiently. But I wanted to test no 10 tablets, then 9 to send back! I already had an S1 and S3 now a mini, I like the user interface of Samsung and so I have decided on this tablet ... For my needs and applications, it is perfectly adequate!
