Samsung 10.1-inch Galaxy tab (First Take):IPAD 2 tablets of the honeycomb

Samsung 10.1-inch Galaxy tab

One thing I realized in my short time covering the tablets, it is that apparently she can never be too many products based on honeycomb in nature. Today at Google I / O conference, the company has distributed 5,000 Wi-Fi-only 10.1 Samsung Galaxy loss. CNET was lucky enough to have a few good men are willing to go the cell phone belt holders and short sleeve button shirts for us.





Design and features The first thing we noticed when taking the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 to tab out of the box was light profile. In fact, when it is next to the 2 IPAD that I can not honestly say what the tablet is thicker and, unfortunately, do not have a micrometer handy for entering the business of microns. Weight-wise, the 10.1 is lighter than the IPAD 2, weighs 1.24 pounds from 1.32 pounds to two IPAD. Taking another page from the construction of the compressed IPAD sexy school 2, 10.1 is one of the cleanest designs we;ve seen on a shelf. Later, his 10.1-inch screen is surrounded by a 0.75-inch bezel shown in black and silver aluminum board. The top half is the 2 megapixel camera on the first side.


Above, from left to right power / sleep button, volume rocker and headset jack. A single contact adorns the right and left sides and the universal connection port located on the bottom right next to a hole of the microphone. There is no USB or HDMI. And try as we might, we could not find slots for two SD cards or SIM cards. Rear sports a 10.1-8-megapixel camera on the kitchen wallpaper high and low prices spread across the rest. OK, this is not painted, but it was the first thing I thought when I saw it. It;s actually a drawing in black and white of a host robot Android 80-something that could very well be running into battle. Oh Google, you and your warmongering.


This is the meaning of the plastic back (not necessarily the death of spam cartoon), which are the most disappointing aspect of the design of 10.1. It does not feel as strong as the IPAD 2 and therefore does not feel as constant in our hands. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is an experience of Google tablet, which means using the basic version of the operating system without customization honeycomb of its interface, but Samsung includes applications from Samsung, uh, Samsung Apt Apps allows you to access applications store company.




Performance


 This is the first tablet of Samsung's 10.1-inch screen and it looks fantastic. IPS display with 1280 x 800 resolution, to produce a clear, sharp images with wide viewing angle that looks great when browsing the Internet or browse the App Store. Each tablet contains the Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Core and navigation it just feels like I live here, as it did in the previous compressed honeycomb. In time of post, we have not had the opportunity to see films and games that looked like a 10.1, but it seems that the battery and the results of a full review, coming soon.




The conclusion




of the honeycomb of experience does not change much, either in Xoom, G-Iconia board or Tab. transformer operating system has changed a lot, but at the end of the day, is still in the comb. So, honestly, as a critic is a bit hard to get excited honeycomb other Wi-Fi platform, no software needed only one truth or hardware features. I know what to expect honeycomb and no surprises here. It remains a fast operating system with many customization options. Given the level of compressed honeycomb homogenization that has taken place, I'm more interested in the study of the tablet and feel than anything else. Samsung Card Galaxy 10.1 impresses its lightweight design and slim, stylish and minimalist. This, together with a giant screen and beautiful, to make a tablet design.


The 10.1 has been publicly displayed before IPAD 2 was for me to call IPAD 2 tablets Honeycomb, I did just that in terms of design, it has more in common with the tablet from Apple other than tablets honeycomb. It;s a compliment to the first order. IPAD is even sexier, sleeker form factor of any tablet. It is not for everyone but if those looking for a tablet Android decked with all the fixings will not find it here. What you find is an elegantly designed tablet for those who do not need a ton of connectivity options. Yeah, a bit like second IPAD No word yet on when we;ll see versions of cellular or price yet. There will be 32 GB and 16 GB version of the tablet when it will be available June 8 Look for a full review soon.
