What we like about Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10 0 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Lightweight and compact design for a 10-inch tablet
  • Impressively bright and colorful display with good viewing angles
  • Expandable storage via microSD slot up to 64GB
  • Built-in IR blaster allows use as a universal remote control
  • Solid battery life for basic tasks and media consumption
  • Stereo speakers provide decent and loud audio quality

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10 0 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Noticeable lag and slow performance when multitasking or switching apps
  • Relatively low screen resolution (1280 x 800) compared to competitors
  • Oversensitive capacitive menu and back buttons lead to accidental touches
  • Lack of advanced software features like Multi Window (available on smaller models)
  • Plastic build quality can feel inexpensive and attract fingerprints
  • Cameras lack manual focus and flash, producing mediocre images

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 3G (GT-P5200) is a 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 WXGA TFT display and a 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2560 processor. It comes equipped with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD up to 64GB, and 3G cellular connectivity alongside dual-band Wi-Fi. Key pros include its slim and lightweight design, a bright screen with good viewing angles, and built-in stereo speakers with Dolby Surround support. However, it is noted for significant performance lag during multitasking, a relatively low pixel density for its size, and a non-removable battery with average longevity.
