Design and Body


The same type of tablet as a Galaxy Tab 2 7 inches, and body design was almost identical to the tablet which was first released. Except in the front, the 10-inch tablet there are two speakers that ride on the left and right tablet (on the tab at the bottom of the seventh tablet). Samsung logo for the second tablet at the bottom, reflecting differences in the orientation of this tablet; smaller tablet is a portrait while the position of the main 10-inch tablet is primarily landscape position.



The material itself is mostly made of plastic and glossy on the matte screen on the back, with a gray color, which also covers the front of the speaker. The tablet has a thickness of 1cm below, exactly 9.7 mm only. With a weight of 565 gram tablet does not feel heavy for its size tablet, although it remains P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 is lighter and a little lighter.

At the top there is the power / lock, volume buttons, micro SD port, audio jacks and ports for the SIM card. While the charger is in the bottom of the charger models with other Galaxy Tab. Unfortunately there is no port USB micro cable is more commonly used in other smartphone or tablet to connect to a computer and an HDMI port to connect to a large TV.


Screen


Using the PLS is the hallmark of the tablets unless Samsung P1000 Galaxy and Galaxy Tab Tab 7.7. The screen is large, 10.1 inches, but only a 1280x800 resolution screen makes the density of only 149 pixels per inch, arguably less able to compete against New iPad is 264 pixels per inch on the screen whose dimensions do not differ much (9.7 inch vs. 10.1 inch) . Even so Galaxy Tab 2 good 7 inches and 10.1-inch Samsung apparently intended as a tablet at an affordable price in its class, especially for the tablet with Android OS.
Back to the screen, viewing angle is pretty good, so does the level of contrast, but for the brightness level was less even though it is set quite high, but not comforting. For the PLS screen, we felt Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus nicer screen, let alone tablet is equipped with several modes such as Movie, Dynamic, and others.

Interface


Samsung's TouchWiz interface UX colored tablet with OS Ice Cream Sandwich is. It is not much difference with Honeycomb in previous Samsung tablets. In the tablet features of ICS is no unlock face. On the homescreen which consists of five pages, you can add widgets, application shortcuts, wallpaper and other such specific contact, certain settings and others by holding the screen for a few seconds. Then the Google search menu on the top left corner, so it is with the Back, Home, and access to the most recent screenshot apps and access are at the bottom left of the screen, in a similar area on the Windows taskbar. '' Taskbar'' appears in all applications, except when a fullscreen application will disappear but if you touch that part will come back. All of them are meant for ICS devices generally do not require any button on the taskbar around the screen so it is necessary to return to the homescreen and the previous menu.

The main menu has two main parts namely Apps and Widget, other than that there are shortcuts to access Google's Play Store and access-access to edit, uninstall, view downloaded types, view type, share the app, hide and show hidden app app on the right above. Arranged in a horizontal menu, with a 8x5 icon main menu application that stuff is. Arrangement of icons you can arbitrarily.

There is a setting to setting brightness, auto rotate on / no, timeout screen, type and font size. There are 3 kinds of fonts that default (Roboto), Choco Cooky and Helvetica S. You can download the Google Play for other font types. For performance issues in tablet interface ICs are arguably more smoothly than Honeycomb tablets in general. Indeed, there is still a lag when switching the screen, for example, but can be considered much less than the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is Honeycomb, for example. More details see the following video.

Text input


For the keyboard and input method which used only Google voice typing and Samsung Keyboard with features such as language input, predictive text, auto capitalization and others. Voice feature to type in the Indonesian language is quite fast and useful, as well as having some kind of security settings block offensive words, and safe search to search using voice. Typing through its own QWERTY keyboard is quite comfortable and can be done accurately and quickly even in a state portrait, thanks to the big screen. In addition, as an alternative there is also handwriting recognition.



Phonebook

You can set the label, search, refresh manually and do compose an email with the icon. To existing arrangements, among others, confirm before doing anything, priority inbox, sync option, notification and signature.

For existing Google Talk instant messaging, which has features automatic sign in, notif IM, video chat and friend block. Indeed, almost all Android devices have this feature, but certainly not as busy as WhatsApp or use IM for Android / cross-platform, such as Line, chaton and GTalk Yahoo Messenger because the feature is not as powerful of these services. In addition there are also chat with GTalk Google + and chaton from Samsung.

Talk about flash, the first browser does not have a flash player, but after downloading the Flash Player from Google Play, Youtube videos can be played fluently directly to a resolution of 720p. 1080p can be played but it seems to weigh the performance of the browser.
