Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 2 7.0 (Wi-Fi) 8GB

Can't say enough about this product! Though I've been a Mac user for 15+ yrs, the iPhone / iPad products just don't do it for me. I love the iPad, but it's for my clients, not me :) - This on the other hand, is just what the doctor ordered!
Fits in my LowePro camera bag, works perfectly with my 3G/4G hotspot when needed, controls my DSLR camera without rooting, allows me to show my photos and video to prospects (they also see I'm budget minded), and of course lets me do anything else I need to do, to get through my day.
I added a 16GB card and I'm a happy guy :)
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just needs a "little" tweaking to be perfect.

Perfect size for road biking. Easy to type in horizontal or vertical modes. The proprietary software is SLOW, but fortunately laptop directly to SD card transfer is accurate and works beautifully. Movies are beautiful on this screen and an external set of mini speakers give an amazing sound. I would love to remove some of the bloatware loaded on the tablet but that can come in the future. If you're looking for a small tablet for a pannier or seat pack, you really can't beat this tablet.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fits in seat pack, not specific to any one cell provider
Cons: bloatware control

It's an interesting tablet
on June 21, 2012

First of all, the 7" Android tablet market seems to be a very popular one, and contains a vast amount of cheap, underpowered, low RAM, low storage units, Unfortunately, this tablet is barely above those.
First of all, the specs claim that you have 8GB of storage but in reality, you only have 4GB, because the storage is divided into two partitions, internal, and a virtual SD card area. If you look at the memory structure, it appears that both the internal & virtual SD card space equal each other. While I can't really blame the company for this, they should have been able to have a great deal of input in how the Tab's memory is laid out. You CANNOT use the external SD card for program storage... you can only store photos, music, and videos. Bummer. You can only blame the Android operating system manufacturer for that failure. It was their belief and infinite wisdom that said that we would only need the storage that was included with the unit. Yeah, right... and who came up with the idea of a dedicated cache area that once full, prevented you from downloading anything from the play store, no matter how much free memory you have? You have to physically delete the cache contents using a file manager or third party memory memory manager.
Another issue I have is with the proprietary connector at the bottom of the unit. It severely limits the connectivity to external devices such as card readers and USB devices. Most USB devices offered by the company do not support the Tab 2. Fortunately there ARE other 3rd-party alternatives out there that do support the Tab 2 in case you want to use a USB flash drive or card reader.
In its defense though, performance is good, sound is loud and clear, and the display is sharp and bright. Even though I am NOT going to tell you to root your device (it will void your warranty), you do gain a significant amount of advantages in the operation of your device, especially with backing up all your information.
If you don't plan on going beyond 4GB of programs, then this device is for you.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: poor memory layout, cannot save programs to ext sd card, limited external connection features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
on June 21, 2012

Expertise:Expert
Great 7 inch device. very smooth operation with ICS 4.0 . I also have the 7.0 plus with ginger bread and there is a difference in performance. The only thing i wish Samsung did not have is the touch wiz. the problem with it, is that if you are using any kind of security app locker i can disable it. Other Tablet makers have app locking built in. So if you want to prevent your child from surfing the Internet or downloading apps at your expense this Tablet is not for you. Its great for everything else. The TV remote app is great.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: poor security

Fills A Need

Posted by: AtlantaCustomer

Expertise:Expert
Have really enjoyed this product and it fits perfectly with my needs. I didn't want a large tablet and this 7" does what I need in a convenient size.
As a power user, I wish it had more memory but it is not limiting my use of the product yet.
I'm happy with my purchase as I didn't want to spend a fortune on a tablet and didn't want a large sized product. Great value for the price.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: lack of memory
I would recommend this to a friend!

Moving backwards
on June 20, 2012
Posted by: willCo

Expertise:Intermediate
Wow. They went backwards with this one, in an evolutionary sense. This is about half the machine that the Tab 7 Plus is. I have them both, use them both, and develop on both. They cut the chip back, changed the form factor in terms of making this one heavier and thicker, they took out the flash for the camera. There are two ways this is better than its predecessor: Lower price and newer OS. That's it. Everything else is worse than or same as the old model. Ridiculous.
Pros: Inexpensive, ics
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, bad speakers, lesser chip
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
