Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 3G is a slim, lightweight tablet featuring a 10.1-inch PLS TFT 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 16GB of internal storage, running on the Android 3.1 Honeycomb platform. Its main characteristics include its remarkably thin 8.6mm profile, 3G HSPA+ connectivity for mobile internet, and a large 7,000 mAh battery.
