Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100 is a versatile 10.1-inch tablet featuring 3G HSPA+ connectivity for mobile data and voice calls, alongside a 1280 x 800 PLS LCD protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. It is powered by a 1GHz TI OMAP 4430 dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a dedicated microSD slot. Main pros include its slim design with front-facing stereo speakers, reliable GPS/GLONASS navigation, and a large 7,000 mAh battery that provides solid runtimes for media consumption. However, its primary cons are the aging hardware that struggles with high-definition 1080p video, a mediocre 3MP rear camera that lacks a flash, and a relatively slow charging process.
