Samsung Galaxy Tablet Review
Article by MobileReviewer
Another refreshing and click tablet from the prominent company Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is a sure fire hit and is one of the best tablet models yet to be released in its vast and highly competitive market.
Taking in lessons from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 while adding several features and specs beyond Apple iPad 2′s offerings, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is designed to be thinner, lighter and more durable for longer-lasting use and functionality. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is the perfect gadget for people who prioritize on-the-go features and superior portability than using the device for playing games and watching movies on its generous 10-inch touch screen.
The slightly more compact design and style is also a better suit for reading materials and eBook products as well as for browsing the Internet and managing emails. With the considerably small sized tablet, questions arose regarding why the model was even developed when there is a number of 7-inch tablets that are accessible today on the market, including the Blackberry PlayBook and the Cisco Cius. At the size of 8.9 inches, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is suited somewhere between those larger “too bulky for regular mobility” 10-inch tablets and the “too compact for film viewing” 7-inch tablets. With its 8.9-inch dimensions, it seems to fit just right for both aspects of use.
The Samsung galaxy Tab 8.9 is designed impressively identical with the 10.1 version. Both operate with Android 3.2 Honeycomb, which is the latest operating system that is engineered specifically for tablet devices. The tablet is also designed with an identical processing unit, NVIDIA TEGRA 2 clocked at 1GHz, which is exactly similar with the 10.1 version. The memory capacity is also identical with 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory capacity. The tablet boasts a 2-megapixel front camera for low resolution video chatting and a 3-megapixel back-end camera for taking photographs. The tablet also comes with Bluetooth, HSP internet and WiFi connection on board.
Samsung was really clever in keeping most of the capabilities and features from the 10.1 version intact. There are widgets that offer an added value to the tablet and renders better access to news feeds from social networking sites. It utilizes an exclusive pop-up application tool that enables you to operate mini applications like a clock and calculator you can find hovering above the screen. It is possible to move around the tools within the screen but it is impossible to resize it. Aesthetically speaking, the Tab 8.9 utilizes the same design and style as the 10.1 including the three hardware control buttons, USB ports and an SD card slot.
