Overall the Galaxy Tab 2 is pretty good, but it doesn't feel like much of an upgrade from the first one I had. In fact if it wasn't for the new OS I'd probably want my old one over this. Like I said the new OS is nice, but the performance lags a bit. I don't feel like I have too many apps or widgets open for the tablet to lag when I swipe to the next home screen.
I have had my tab for a few days now but I absolutely love it. There are no problems, it's easy to set up and amazingly fast even without a strong wifi connection. It's actually not as thick as the pictures here portrait it. I mainly use it for everyday college stuff and social networking.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, really easy to use
Display is very sharp. Overall design is clean with a very slim profile. The fact you can easily expand the memory with a microSD card is a strong point for me. Charging is a little slow, but once charged I routinely get 8 hrs +. I use primarily for leisurely surfing the web, email, and watching video. Wifi easily connects to hotspots during travel. Speakers, like most tablets, are about average. Operating system works smoothly and plenty of applications to chose from.
