The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was released in June of 2011 as a new and improved bigger brother to the previous Galaxy tablet family. With its complete software and hardware revamp, as well as a screen size of 10.1 inches versus its predecessor's 7-inch, the new model successfully positions itself to compete with the Apple iPad 2 and Motorola's Xoom tablet.

In addition to its larger screen, the new tablet's resolution has improved over the previous model. The TFT screen on the 10.1 is sharp and vibrant, and sports a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Whether it's streaming an online video through the WiFi connection or playing a downloaded film, the video playback is smooth as silk. With a 3.0 megapixel rear-facing camera capable of 720p video capture and a front-facing 2 MP camera, the screen on the new Galaxy will give users a fair representation of how their photos and videos will look on a traditional PC.

Another obvious change to the tablet is the incorporation of Android 3.1, an upgraded OS designed specifically for tablets. The new operating system is quick and responsive, and allows users to enjoy multimedia applications while multitasking without hesitation. Samsung adds its proprietary Social Hub service to the mix, which integrates email, instant messaging, and social networking services into one easy-to-use application.

The Tab 10.1 runs a 1 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor coupled with a full gigabyte of RAM. Internal storage is dependent on which model you purchase and ranges from 16 to 64 GB. The built-in 7000 mAH battery allows you to watch video for up to 9 hours or listen to audio for up to 72 hours.

Through the tablet's integrated Bluetooth 3.0 radio or, with the addition of an inexpensive USB adaptor, the tablet can utilize a full range of standard accessories including keyboards, mice, and thumb drives.

Great display, full HD playback, good front camera, decent battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 showed a lot of potential, but it bombs on several important counts. After being marketed so heavily as Android's answer to the iPad, the expectations were bound to be high. Unfortunately, the Tab 750 doesn t even manage to get the basics right. The exterior is pretty cool,... More

A nice tablet that no one would mind having around

GSMArena Team from GSMArena (about 1 year ago)

This tablet’s main advantage remains that it’s the most portable 10” slate to hit the market. It's thinner even than iPad 2 and good 42 grams lighter than Apple's frontrunner, while still promising to match its battery performance. And that's no mean feat since tablets are going hard after netbooks,... More

A great tablet, with ultra lightweight feel, built for portability and has an excellent display quality

Tim-o-tato from Droid Life (about 1 year ago)

The Android tablet world continues to grow, and if this piece of hardware is any indication to the future, then I have hope. I have been fortunate enough to play with almost all the tablets that are available these days, and I would be lying to myself if I didn’t say the 4G LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 isn’t... More
