I bought my Galaxy Tab2 for travel overseas and did not want to take my laptop due to weigh restrictions. Looked at a lot of tablets and decided the main features I needed were mostly included. After receiving my tablet it was up and running in less than 20 minutes. I was so impressed with this tablet I use it now more than my laptop. I wish there was a print feature for printing using other than Samsung printers. Display is sharp and bright.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, ease of use
Cons: Not high def, no print capability
I would recommend this to a friend!

The first Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet was very awesome but with the old Android OS it soon became a thing in the past. I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 Tablet and its way much better than the first one! It's OS is up to date except it's not Jellybean but it's close enough! Super Fast! Speakers: instead of being on the sides of the tablet they are on the front and make a big difference in sound quality on the Galaxy 2 than the 1st one! The memory can be upgraded by the user up to 32GB Micro SDHC memory card! Doesn't have a HDMI port, that would've been nice since I recently upgraded my TV to HDTV. Being able to control my tv with this tablet is awesome also! The only downside to this Galaxy 2 10.1 is that the camera is still 3 megapixels. I really wish it had a 5 Megapixel camera on the back like the Galaxy Note does. Other than that this is a must have Galaxy 2 Tab 10.1
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, ir to control tv, speakers on front not sides, upgradable memory storage
Cons: no hdmi, rear camera is 3 megapixels
I would recommend this to a friend!

samsung tab 2 10.1

First experience with a tablet. No need to go any further. It does all that I need and more... Very happy with it when I can get it away from my wife. Guess we will be getting another one.....
I've had my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for about a month now. It is pleasing to the eyes, has plenty of storage, and is fast! It came with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.x) installed and has kept itself up to date - which leads me to my only complaint. You can't move apps to the microSD Card. This shortfall didn't detract from my rating because it is Operating System related and not hardware related. It is a shortcoming of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Was deciding between 2 other brands of tablets. Glad I chose Samsung. The Tab 2 10.1 is everything I hoped it would be. It is easy to use and has a beautiful display. Even my iPad loving wife likes it. Ice Cream Sandwich is a great improvement while retaining Android familiarity and convenience. It is truly a pleasure to use this device. Love the Tab!
I spent some time comparing the galaxy Tab II to other devices. For ease of use and value received, there is no comparison. It is easy to add memory to the Galaxy but with some others, you have to insert an awkward adapter that could easily break off. That alone led me to decide on the Galaxy Tab II. Also, I have a Droid phone that can act as a hot spot. I did not need built-in data phone communication.
