Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE I905 is a thin and lightweight 4G-enabled tablet featuring a 10.1-inch PLS LCD display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It is powered by a 1.0 GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage, running on the Android 3.1 Honeycomb operating system. Key characteristics include a 3.15 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 2 MP front-facing camera, and a 6,800 mAh battery that provides up to 12 hours of talk time. Main pros are its sleek, portable design, high-quality vibrant screen, and responsive touch performance for everyday tasks. However, notable cons include a lack of a microSD card slot for expandable storage, the use of a proprietary charging connector rather than a standard USB port, and limited physical connectivity options such as HDMI.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 im Test: Schlankes Tablet mit Android 3.1

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3, reviewed on Golem.de, is an ultra-compact, entry-level Micro Four Thirds camera from 2011 designed for maximum portability and ease of use, featuring a rounded, minimalist design with limited physical controls in favor of a 3-inch touchscreen. Its key strengths include the "Light Speed" autofocus system, which delivers exceptional speed, along with a 3.8 fps burst rate and decent Full HD 1080i video recording, making it ideal for casual users and street photography. However, the push for a smaller form factor resulted in significant compromises, such as the absence of a hotshoe for external flash or viewfinders and a 12MP sensor that shows noise at high ISO settings.

Video: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Test

The Golem.de review highlights the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a top-tier Android competitor to the iPad 2, featuring a remarkably slim, lightweight design and a 10.1-inch PLS display with excellent viewing angles. Running Android 3.1 Honeycomb, the device offers a fluid experience powered by a 1 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, capable of smooth web browsing and 1080p video playback. Key strengths include a 10-hour battery life and high build quality, though it faces competition regarding its higher, roughly €549 price point. Significant drawbacks noted in the review include the lack of a microSD card slot and direct HDMI port, limiting expandability and requiring adapters. The tablet also utilizes a proprietary dock connector rather than a universal micro-USB, and the 3-megapixel rear camera produces mediocre, "muddy" images in low-light conditions.

Avis / Test : Tablette Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Gonzague's review highlights the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for its exceptionally thin and lightweight design, making it highly portable. The 10.1-inch screen delivers a bright and vibrant 1280x800 display, perfect for media consumption. Performance is generally smooth thanks to the 1GHz dual-core processor, with battery life lasting up to two days under moderate use. Despite these strengths, the review notes drawbacks, including an all-plastic construction that feels less premium than competitors. Functional limitations are significant, with a lack of micro-SD card storage, HDMI, or standard USB ports, along with a proprietary charging cable. Users may experience minor, occasional lag during heavy multitasking. Overall, the device is recommended for its display and portability, provided the lack of expandability is not a barrier. It remains a competitive, light Android tablet option for media-focused users, say reviews from CNET and IT Pro.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is highlighted as a highly portable, thin, and lightweight tablet, featuring a vibrant 10.1-inch 1280x800 display suited for media consumption.
