Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (16GB WiFi) is a slim and portable tablet featuring an 8-inch WXGA TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and 189 PPI. Powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Exynos 4212 processor and 1.5GB of RAM, it provides a smooth experience for light multitasking, aided by the Multi Window feature for running two apps side-by-side. Key characteristics include a thin 7.4mm profile, a 4,450mAh battery, a 5MP rear camera, and an IR blaster that functions as a universal remote. Pros include its lightweight, comfortable design and vibrant display; however, cons include an aging processor that struggles with 3D gaming, lower pixel density compared to newer rivals, and speakers that are easily muffled when held in landscape mode.
