The tablet was provided for testing by Samsung

Review of the Samsung P3100 tablet.

Good model

Tablet use experience: more than a year

Advantages of the tablet:

Convenient size and weight. You can carry it with you everywhere, it will fit into almost any bag, or even into the back pocket of jeans.
- Good support, updated to the latest. ( latest firmware 4.2.2)
- Workmanship. I’ve been using it every day for 2 years, the plastic has not worn out anywhere (I mostly use it in a case, but a friend has the same one without a cover for a year and a half, there are no wear marks).
- The films are excellent.
- Full phone functionality. You can call from a SIM card without any problems.
- Volume. Excellent. There’s nothing to add here; the volume reserve is superior to many analogues.

Disadvantages of the tablet:

Screen. In general it is good, but TFT technology makes itself felt. At medium brightness it fades quite a bit in the sun. I always put film on the screen, the surface feels very soft.
- No flash. On the first tab the camera was better.
- Original charging connector. You always need to carry a charging cable with you.
- The actual charging process itself. It is very reluctant to charge from a computer; the time to fully charge is 2.5 times longer (compared to charging from a wall outlet). It’s hard to find a charger for your car; many either don’t charge at all, or provide only enough charge so that the tablet doesn’t run out of charge. (There is a point here. I use it as a navigator in the car, so these indicators are typical for fairly heavy use.)

Comment about the tablet:

I use the tablet every day and have no thoughts of changing it to anything else. I download movies into it, make calls (using a headset), navigate in the car, and various games. Everything works without glitches or any problems. The size is perfect for me.
I owned the first Galaxy tab, and I can say that the power here was slightly reduced. Some games don't want to launch.
Watched updated version galaxy tab 3 7.0, the tablets turned out to be on the same level, so there is no point in changing.
The thing is not the most modern, but it more than fully satisfies my needs.

Review No. 2 about the Samsung P3100 tablet.

Great model

Tablet use experience: several months

Advantages of the tablet:

The price is definitely an advantage.
The size is convenient.
screen, sensor – I was satisfied.
The battery is, in short, good. For more details, see comments.
Housing – see comments. I don’t rate it, because I immediately dressed it in a “book”.
The hardware is generally good, see the comments.
The native interface, not counting the native launcher, is very convenient. Satisfied.
Internet Wi-Fi, if there is one, is quite decent. 3g be healthy too - from SIM card MTS up to 4 Mbit/sec.
GPS is generally good. I haven't tried it on a third-party navigator.

Disadvantages of the tablet:

I’ll start with the classics of the genre - after a month of use, the device began to lose the presence of a SIM card. That is, it says that it is not registered on the network, there is no Internet (I often use the Internet via a SIM card). It can be cured by rebooting the device. This problem arose literally 2 times, but it was unpleasant.
Built-in memory. Only 4.5 GB available for use. A little. It is absolutely clear that you need to install a micro sd, and a larger one. I don’t know about the impossibility of installing applications on the card; I haven’t tried it myself.
Camera. It's about taste and color. I don’t use it practically, but it’s absolutely clear that the manufacturer saved money on this part of the device.
Wire included. It’s convenient that the cord for connecting to a computer turns into a charger, but why couldn’t it be possible to make a standard USB input at the opposite end? Inconvenient. But if you always have this cord with you, everything is quite convenient. However, this reduces the versatility of the device. It is not possible to find such a lace everywhere.
Performance. The native launcher looks good, but it slows down. I installed it from a third party and don’t worry. Nothing is buggy.
Speakers. The playback quality is acceptable, but why the hell place stereo speakers next to each other... well, it’s not very smart somehow.
connectors for flash drive and SIM card. Everything is convenient, but if there is a need to change cards often, it will soon fall off. Although you can go the opposite way: don’t touch it often - it will last forever.
In general, that's all)

• Tablet,
• prefabricated charger (cable+block),
• instructions,
• warranty card.

Introduction

I really like the seven-inch tablet segment. These are compact and convenient devices that fit into a small bag or even a jacket pocket. At the same time, they are lighter and cheaper than their ten-inch counterparts. The model being reviewed today is the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, a logical continuation and expansion of the line of compact tablets from Samsung.

Appearance, materials, control elements

The model is similar to most other tablets from Samsung and not only them.

On the right side there is a volume rocker and a power button. They have a short, soft stroke, and these buttons are convenient to use.

Card slots are located on the left microSD memory and SIM cards (for 3G versions). Both slots are covered with plugs; they hold up well and most likely will not come loose over time.

Below you can see the connector for your own charger, through which the tablet connects to the PC. To the right and left of it are speakers covered with a mesh and a microphone hole. The speakers have an average volume, but due to their location, sometimes you involuntarily cover them with your hand (if you hold the tablet horizontally).

Place for a 3.5mm headphone jack and another microphone was found at the top.

The entire front part is occupied by a screen and a black frame; above the screen there is a front camera eye and a speaker.

The device also has a rear camera located on the back. The back of the tablet itself is made of matte gray plastic. It is pleasant to the touch and wear-resistant, it does not leave scratches. We can only be glad that Samsung did not use its favorite gloss for the back.

By the way, a white version of the device has recently gone on sale.

There are no complaints about the assembly, unlike most budget tablets, which always creak somewhere, the assembly here is at a high level.

Screen

The tablet has a seven-inch display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The screen is capacitive - supports up to ten simultaneous touches.

Matrix type - PLS (Samsung's own screens designed to compete with IPS). A feature of PLS ​​matrices is soft and calm colors, in this regard they are completely opposite to SuperAMOLED. In the sun the image fades, but remains visible. It’s comfortable to watch videos on public transport, but at maximum brightness. The clarity of the picture is inferior to competitors with IPS matrices, but not much. The screen is covered protective glass Gorilla Glass, if you do not try to scratch the tablet on purpose, then there will be no scratches on it. I liked the display; although it is inferior to its IPS competitors, it is still at a decent level. At minimum brightness it is comfortable to read in the dark, maximum brightness is suitable for public transport.

The device has a light sensor that is responsible for automatic brightness adjustment; for me it did not always set the brightness correctly, so I used manual adjustment; fortunately, you can quickly set a comfortable level through the status bar.

Comparison Galaxy screens Tab 2 7.0 and Digma iDs10:

Dimensions

The tablet is slightly thicker than the top-end Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the thin IconBIT NetTAB Matrix and slightly heavier than them. However, in comparison with other competitors, it has similar dimensions. The model is comfortable to hold with one or two hands for a long time, your hands do not get tired at all. It is also worth noting that the tablet is very compact, it fits even in the smallest bags, this is a common plus of seven-inch models.

• Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0– (LxWxD) 194x122x11 mm, weight 344 grams
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7– (LxWxD) 197x133x8 mm, weight 335 grams
• IconBIT NetTAB Matrix– (LxWxD) 188x123x10 mm, weight 308 grams
• Huawei MediaPad– (LxWxD) 190x124x11 mm, weight 390 grams

Autonomous operation

A separate section in the settings is responsible for energy saving, where you can limit the processor frequency and configure the screen for less power consumption.

The device has a non-removable battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh. With an hour of reading and an hour of video at 70% brightness, its charge lasted for 3 days.

I also ran some battery tests under "clean load":

In video mode at maximum brightness and full volume with headphones, the tablet lasted 4 hours 45 minutes (an MX player with HW decoding was used). For the test, a file in HD resolution was used.

In reading mode (10% brightness, automatic page turning, airplane mode on), the tablet lasted 9 hours.

Overall, these are good results, I was pleased with the autonomy of the model.

Performance

Roma described the processor used in detail, let me quote a piece from his review of Tab 2 10.1:

“This is where the main changes took place. Samsung abandoned the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset and installed the chipset of the American company Texas Instruments - OMAP 4430. Technical process - 45 nm, CPU instruction set - ARMv7, graphics accelerator- PowerVR SGX540. The processor is a dual-core Cortex-A9 with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. The chipset belongs to the fourth generation of OMAP, which contains an IVA3 hardware multimedia accelerator with programmable DSP, which allows encoding/decoding of 1080p Full HD video.".

The device has 1 GB random access memory, when turned on for the first time, about 400 MB are available to the user, this amount is enough to comfortably solve most problems. The capacity of the internal storage varies - two models will be available with 8 and 16 GB of internal memory.

As for performance, it is worth noting that the model is faster than its competitors when surfing the web. Unlike the same IconBIT Matrix, here you can comfortably use a browser. Pages load and turn quickly, there are no problems with this.

But when flipping through tables, there are still stutters, but this is clearly a problem with TouchWiz, not the processor, since there are no stutters in third-party launchers.

operating system

The model comes with pre-installed Android 4.0.3 and TouchWiz shell on top of it. A detailed review of Android 4.0 can be found. I’ll tell you about the features of the new TouchWiz below.

The first thing that catches your eye is the similarity of the shell with the one installed in the Galaxy S3, for example, the application menu is designed in the same way, the same wallpaper is preinstalled.

The S Planner and Notes apps are also very similar to those in S3.

I'm glad that Samsung still provides its devices with built-in file manager. Although it is simple, its functionality is sufficient for ordinary users.

The new models abandoned Swype and installed their own keyboard (which, again, is similar to that in the S3). This is a huge step back. I really liked Swype in Tab 7.7, but now I can't even install it on my tablet because it's not supported. Unlike the S3 keyboard, you can't enter text using gestures. The new keyboard, of course, is worse than Swype, but it is also quite convenient for input, especially in vertical mode; we are pleased with the numbers placed in a separate row.

You can make calls and send SMS from your tablet; there are preinstalled branded applications. Unfortunately, there is no Russian layout on the dialer, and the quality of photos deteriorates after synchronization. IN address book You can't even change the current contact, you can only add a new one.

In the status bar, in addition to the three usual buttons, we also added quick withdrawal screenshot. A short press on the button takes a screenshot and takes you to editing it, while a long press simply takes a screenshot. In the center of the status bar there is a button to open the quick access panel to popular actions. This could be a calendar, phone, SMS messages, mail, alarm clock and music. When you click on one of the shortcuts, a thumbnail of the application is called up. Looks unusual, but comfortable.

Of the interesting widgets, I would only mention a beautiful clock and a weather widget. By the way, unlike the Galaxy S3, here clicking on the clock widget brings up an alarm rather than time settings, and this is a big plus.

The shell makes the model different from competitors and recognizable. However, Samsung needs to work more carefully on it so that at least the tables stop slowing down.

Of the minuses, I would note the poor performance of the wallpaper with third-party launchers. In all third-party launchers (Y.shell, Go Launcher HD for Pad, Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher), the selected wallpaper increased in size, which is why the picture looked blurry. Also, my lock screen did not work, I reset the device, reflashed it, but none of this could solve the problem, perhaps this is only a drawback of my sample.

Multimedia

Tab 2 7.0 comes pre-installed with its own proprietary applications for music and video.

Music app very similar to that of the Galaxy S3 in style. When first opened, the user is presented with three columns. The first contains options for sorting songs (by album, artist, genre or folder), in the middle there is a list of all songs, and on the right (in horizontal mode) or below (in vertical mode) there is a playback control panel and a list of songs in the order in which they will be played play. The player supports the following formats: MP3, OGG, AAC-LC / AAC / AAC+ / eAAC+, AC-3, AMR-NB / WB, WMA, WAV, MID, IMY, FLAC. You can quickly control playback via the status bar or a separate widget whose dimensions are adjustable.

Video. The tablet supports many formats, since it uses the same processor as in the older model, the results are the same, so I’ll give you a list from Roma’s review (I’ll separately note that I tested the same video files and the results were the same as in his list):

• MKV (1080p, h264, High profile 4.1, 40 Mbit/s). The standard player does not play, MX Video player plays, but the video is very slow
• MKV (1080p, vc1, ap13, 18 Mbps, AC3). The standard player does not show video, but there is sound. MX Video Player shows video, but slows down, there is sound
• MKV (1080p, h264, High profile 4.1, 10 Mbit/s, DTS). The standard player shows video, but no sound. MXVP shows video, there is sound, but in “software” mode
• MKV (720p, h264, High profile 5.1, 3 Mbit/s, Vorbis). No problem
• MKV (480p, XViD, as15, 1 Mbit/s, AAC). The standard player does not play, everything is fine in MXVP (“software” mode)
• MPEG (480p, 5 Mbps). The standard player does not play, everything is fine in MXVP
• TS (720p, MPEG, AC3). The standard player does not play, in MXVP the sound is ahead of the video
• AVI, MP4, FLV and 3GP standard player plays without problems.

Camera

The tablet has two cameras: rear - 3 MP and front - 0.3 MP. Roma described the camera interface in detail, I recommend that you read this part of the review.

The manufacturer decided to abandon autofocus in the rear camera, which immediately affected the quality of the pictures. I suggest you evaluate their quality yourself below.

The video is recorded in a resolution of 1280x720 pixels at 30 frames per second. Among other things, the front camera is supported Skype program, and you can use it for video calls.

Examples of photos taken with the main camera:

Examples of photos on front camera :

Interfaces

Present full set wireless interfaces.

Wi-Fi (b/g/n)– the usual Wi-Fi module, works flawlessly. The network is not lost, the reception level is at the level of most other smartphones and tablets.

3G module- optionally available and Mobile Internet, works great. There are no complaints about the loss of the network.

GPS– used for navigation Google program Maps, a cold start takes about a minute, then satellites are searched for 20-30 seconds.

Bluetooth 4.0 – latest version features reduced energy consumption.

Conclusion

The average price of the Wi-Fi version is 9,500 rubles, and the version with 3G is 13,000 rubles. For this money you get a full-fledged (albeit small) tablet that does an excellent job with video, web surfing and reading. In addition, you can even make calls from it. Also, one of the advantages I would note is good assembly and materials.

Competitors

The Wi-Fi version has several competitors.

IconBIT MATRIX. A good model, a complete clone of Ainol Aurora, among the advantages I would note a better screen, less weight and thickness. Of the minuses - poor work with the browser and a disgusting assembly. The cost of the model is about 6 thousand, and now NetTAB Slim Pro is starting to replace it. I’m just planning to take this tablet for testing, however, if it doesn’t have problems with the assembly and the browser, then it will be a more serious competitor, because its price is only 6 thousand rubles.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. An identical model from Samsung, but with a different processor, recently began receiving an update to 4.0. It costs a little more, I would rather focus on Tab 2 7.0.

The 3G version has a more worthy competitor - Huawei MediaPad. The average cost is 13 thousand. Its huge advantage is the screen and pure Android, as well as the monolithic aluminum body. Among the advantages of Tab 2 7.0 are the ability to make calls and higher brand awareness.

As a result, if you need a high-quality seven-inch tablet with 3G, then it is better to pay attention to the Huawei MediaPad, but if you want to save money and take a tablet only with Wi-Fi, then the Tab 2 7.0 is a good option, overpaying a couple of thousand compared to lesser-known ones models from iconBIT and others are definitely justified.

pros:

• Good screen,
• fast browser,
• nice widgets,
• own audio and video players,
• support for many audio and video formats,
• high quality assemblies.

Minuses:

• Price,
• own connector for charging and synchronization with PC,
• stuttering in TouchWiz,
• camera without autofocus.

Specifications:

And in this review we will look at the younger model of this family – the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), which has a 7-inch display, but the differences between the two tablets do not end there. So, first things first.

The Galaxy Tab 2 is quite similar to its predecessor, the P1000 from the Galaxy Tab line of tablets. But it is worth noting that the thickness has decreased, now it is only 10.5 mm, and the surface has turned from a smooth gloss into matte gray plastic. The height and width of the device are 193.7x122.4 mm, and the weight is only 344 g. Given the relative lightness of the device, it is very comfortable to hold in your hand.

There is a touch display on the front side, and a camera “eye” on the back.

The assembly was performed at the proper level - there are no backlashes or squeaks during operation.

Performance, operating system and applications

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), like the model with a 10.1-inch screen, has a dual-core TI OMAP 4430 processor, which has clock frequency 1 GHz. There is 1 GB of RAM, and 8, 16 or 32 GB of built-in flash memory, depending on the version. This parameter can be increased, since there is a special slot for memory cards with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. Taken together, these parameters provide sufficient high performance, capable of satisfying almost any, even the most demanding user.

The tablet is under control operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with integrated TouchWiz shell.

Screen

The tablet is equipped with a 7-inch capacitive touch screen, made using PLS TFT technology, with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. This device differs in the worst side from the Galaxy Tab 2 model with a 10.1-inch display, where the resolution is 1280x800 pixels.

The viewing angles of the gadget are excellent, fading in the sun is not very strong. It is worth noting that the image on the display is quite bright and of high quality.

The screen has a protective Gorilla Glass coating.

Camera

The Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) has a 3.1 megapixel camera that allows you to shoot at a maximum resolution of 2948x1536 pixels, with autofocus. Video recording can be carried out in Full HD format at a speed of 30 frames/second.

There is a front 0.3 megapixel camera for video telephony.

Battery

The LI-Ion battery in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), unlike the older 10.1-inch model, has a capacity of only 4000 mAh, so the device will last for a maximum of 5-7 hours during average intensive use.

Price

The cost of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) was not officially announced, but it became known that the price in European countries will be about 500 euros for a model with support for 3G networks and 400 euros for without support for 3G networks.

As of May 25, 2012, the cost of the new product became known. Price for Galaxy modification Tab 2 (7.0) with memory will cost 9,990 rubles (with Wi-Fi support) and 13,990 rubles (with Wi-Fi + 3G support).

Real reviews about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7 tablet

Ilya

• Working with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 P3100 8Gb is bliss, because... After a month of use, I’m very happy with everything and I don’t even go near the computer. In addition, I’m thinking of replacing my computer with an even more powerful and larger tablet of this series, but I still don’t have enough programs to turn the tablet into a full-fledged one Personal Computer. At first I bought it as an addition to my smartphone, because... The tablet supported SIM cards (in other words, I didn’t even consider SIM-less tablets). And I received not only an add-on, but a full-fledged car with the Internet, which is always with me! I have no complaints about the device at all, and the size and speed of its operation simply amazes me! True, the accessories for it are very expensive, but this is unnecessary. Therefore my rating is a solid 5.

Oleg

• I like the tablet, but for a long time I carried it without a case in transport, but I realized that it was unreliable, and now I choose a book case. I like that you can use a memory card to download files (both using the slot and using a card reader, which can be bought at any computer store), as well as the quality of working with the Internet using the Opera browser. I also think that this tablet is very fast, convenient, holds a charge for a long time (enough for almost a day), does not heat up or discharge in standby mode, is equipped with basic programs and even an archiver. True, not all computers recognize the device as a flash drive.

• I took the purchase of the tablet seriously, because... a lot of money... I looked closely for almost a month and finally decided on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 P3100 8Gb, because... with its help, I could always have 2 active SIM cards, and also had the opportunity to constantly surf the Internet. I think that this model is the ideal combination of quality and price, weight and size, battery performance and interface. The tablet justifies itself and does not look bulky, and on the screen with its resolution you can watch any movies and constantly surf the Internet.

Sasha

• I bought this model and have no regrets - the device itself is very cool, it’s easy to type text on it and it even fits in a jeans pocket. At the same time, various applications and tasks are launched, such as HD video, a lot of programs and GPS navigation, and the device copes with them, although it heats up a little. I really don't like the camera, because... the photos turn out creepy, but this is not a minus, because... I never understood why there are cameras in phones and tablets, if they can hardly compare even with a point-and-shoot camera... The WiFi in the tablet is excellent, the connection is not interrupted, and therefore I can call the device excellent for work.

Maksim

• If you are an illiterate person, then it will seem to you that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7.0 P3100 8Gb has a “stainable” screen, an inconvenient keyboard in portrait mode, and it is impossible to remove standard applications, the sound of the tablet is not loud, the shell slows down, etc. But if you know at least a little about devices, you will understand that 8 GB of memory is enough for all applications and OS, the device supports memory cards - and this is a huge plus, all unused applications can be disabled, etc. I use the Galaxy Tab both as a tablet and as a phone and player, and so far there have been no complaints!
