Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 4G is a sleek, lightweight tablet featuring a 10.1-inch WXGA TFT display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 processor. This specific 16GB storage model includes a microSD slot for expansion up to 64GB and is equipped with a 6,800 mAh battery, a 3.15 MP rear camera, and 4G LTE connectivity for mobile data. Main pros include its bright screen with good viewing angles, loud stereo speakers with Dolby Digital enhancement, and a built-in IR blaster for universal remote functionality. However, users often experience performance lag during multitasking, a relatively low pixel density of 149 ppi, and a plastic build that is prone to fingerprints.
