I have been enjoying this tab. It dose most everything that i what. I read a lot and it will handle all the reading material out there. Polaris office works well. I have only two complaints: 1. can not move apps to the sd card[not even with an app for that purpose] 2 the battery is only good for 7 to 8.5 hours of continuous use I work for 10 hours a day and use it for music and to audio books. It dies before the day ends. other wise it has been wonderful. The music sounds great thur speakers or the headphones. I can put all my music on the sd card and it plays from there. The screen dose not scratch easily!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, great screen
Have a smartphone but the screens are too small to be anything more than a toy. Tried netbooks but too much bulk and weight for the performance. Large tablets simply are not that convenient to carry or hold for reading. This size and weight are perfect for traveling. Great quality and faster than everything else i have tried. Not a big fan of the glossy screen but i seem to be in the minority on that.
This was a great value for the money, the best in fact, prior to the release of the Nexus 7. I still feel that the expandable storage makes this a worthwhile purchase. I've loved the ease of use, quickness of the ui, and the overall design.
The only negative i have is that i would prefer to be able to uninstall some of the features that come preinstalled, mainly the pay for apps Samsung ones.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable, full google play market
Cons: samsung and google bloat that cannot be removed
My 2nd tablet and it was a step up with the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It has provided a very enjoyable experience, It's fast and has a nice screen. The variety of applications is awesome. Has a great G Sensor that tracks its orientation for anything from games to astronomy. One feature it needs is a media dock for USB and HDMI output and power. The dock for the original Tab 7.0 does not work with Tab 2. Wish they had made a little change by flipping the microSD card slot over. Removing a card can be difficult without long nails.
I am not a techy person but I am very glad that I did get this tablet. It does all I need it to do ( and I am sure that there is much more that it does that I haven't even found out about yet!). It is easy to handle and is very good quality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
I picked the GT2 7" because I wanted a smaller tablet that I could easily carry in my purse, but I also wanted one that would give me good performance and features. This little guy didn't disappoint. AllShare is a fantastic feature that I use on a regular basis at home and it works well on this device, and I've yet to experience any lag, unexpected shutdowns, or any of the oddities that sometimes come with owning an Android device. In fact I've found this tablet to be more responsive and smooth in operation, than any other tablet I've tried out. The screen is clear and vibrant, sound quality is not bad either, so watching movies on it is rather enjoyable. Battery life surprised me as well, and I found that I could easily spend over 3 hours of non-stop use buried neck deep in my Sodoku game and not even hit 60%. And that's with the WiFi on, updates to Twitter, and other such updates running in the background.
I purchased this tablet mainly for the purposes of movies and games so having these qualities makes it a perfect match for me. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this tablet and have already recommended it to several others due to its great performance for me.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, responsive, good battery performance
