samsung galaxy tab the new debut from samsung
Our first introduction indicates Samsung Galaxy Tabs can be serious competitors iPad.
Who does not worry seeing the success of the iPad. People queue to buy, in several countries postponed the launch because of stock outs, and has sold 4.5 million over 3 months of sales. No wonder if similar products are proliferating like Streak and Blackberry Dell Playbook.
Galaxy Tab Samsung actually is not the first tablet that appears after the iPad. If you recall there is Huawei Smakit S7. However Smakit S7 reportedly about to release late next year, while the Galaxy Tab will present to the market in last October.
As an introduction, Samsung Galaxy Tab is a tablet with a 7-inch screen sizes. The screen has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels, so smaller than the IPAD (1024×800 pixels). But the connect screen measuring 9.7 inches IPAD, Galaxy Tab has a pixel-per-inch more.
Actually, calling it a tablet is not appropriate because the Galaxy Tab also has a GSM-based phone function. This facility is supported 3.5G data connection, WiFi, and Bluetooth. In regard to data storage, the Galaxy Tab comes with 12GB of internal memory. If still not, Tab provides a microSD memory card slot with a maximum capacity of 32GB. As for the operating system, Galaxy Tab using the Android version 2.1.
I was lucky enough to get a chance to try at the first time. We still have the ability to probe deeper into this device, but here are some first impressions of the Galaxy Tab ….
Here are some first impressions of the Galaxy Tab.
Multimedia.
Samsung Galaxy Tab could be a fun entertainment center during the trip.The reason, all video formats that we enter into this device can be played perfectly, from the MKV, AVI to YouTube FLV used it. In fact, the tab can play a movie in full-HD format perfectly. Galaxy Tab screen-even if only using TFT-LCD technology is also good enough to display video. Speakers Tab is less special, but as long as you bring earphones, Galaxy Tab will not make you die style.
Soft flow.
We have several times tried to Android-based smartphone, and one of the little problem is a drag-screen movement and not as smooth as the iPhone or iPad.Initially, we thought the Galaxy Tab will face similar problems, especially with the large screen size. However, our expectation was wrong. Galaxy Tab movement looks smooth, smooth, and fun. Responsitifitas screen is also good, as seen from tapping our fingers that almost all detected. By comparison, the Galaxy Tab is not as good as the iPad, but the difference was not far away.
Camera.
This facility is not owned iPad, namely the camera. Not just one, but two.The camera on the back has a resolution of 3MP, while at the front of the camera resolution is 1.3 MP. Camera quality is quite good, including when used indoors. If forced to take pictures in low light conditions, Tab provides a light flash.
Unfortunately, not all things make us happy, there are some unhappy things.. ;(
The sucks
Unfortunately, not all the fun things we have. Here are some of the shortcomings of the Galaxy Tab.
Where is The button?
Somehow, Galaxy Tab does not have a special button or switch to switch off the accelerometer. Just to remind, accelerometer component that detects the position of the device and set the orientation of the screen, whether portrait or landscape. In the Galaxy this tab, these functions cannot be totally disabled, either software or hardware. As a result, change the screen orientation is often beyond the will of us. This makes some usage scenarios (such as reading while lying down) become annoying because the screen kept turning.
Considered Mobile.
When we used to surf, Galaxy Tab always counted as mobile devices. So when browsing the site,we were always brought to the mobile version of these sites. We have used the best browser in Android at this time, the Dolphin HD, but the problem still occurs. Just for comparison, IPAD always brings us to the desktop version of the site.
Despite having several disadvantages, why do we still think the Galaxy Tab is a very tempting device?
Preliminary Conclusions
Although I only tried in few days, I was quite impressed with the ability Samsung Galaxy Tab. In terms of user experience-that we think vital to be able to compete with the IPAD-Galaxy Tab able to perform satisfactorily. The interface is modern impressed, who supported the movement of the screen is smooth and bright screen. The size is a (relatively) small also allows us to hold it with one hand. The facility, Galaxy Tabs also appear more compact than the iPad, such as the presence of a camera and external memory slot.
With all these advantages, there are many activities we could think of by using the Tab. One of them is watching a movie, considering all popular formats can be played this device. Tab is also suitable for use as a medium for digital read, especially if Samsung can hold the publishers of books, newspapers and magazines . This device is also suitable for use as a tool for browsing the Internet, although we expect upgraded software for Tab always go to the desktop version of the site.
