Yet another tablet from the Samsung Galaxy range lands on our desk, for review.
Before we embark on a detailed test and review process, we thought it would be ideal to bring along some initial impressions of the Tab 7 Plus.
We also put the tablet through six benchmarks, the results of which (Quadrant, AnTuTu, LinPack single thread, LinPack multi thread, GLBenchmark, and PeaceKeeper) can be seen on the next page.
- It has picked up a lot of design cues from the Tab 750 and the Tab 730. At 9.9mm thickness, this has come a long way since the days of the Galaxy Tab P1000.
- The material used throughout is plastic, but the build quality seems quite decent. It weighs 345 grams, and with a 7-inch display, is quite comfortable to hold with one hand.
- It has slightly less power on the spec sheet, when compared to the Galaxy Note – 1.2GHz for a 1.4GHz processor. However, this is meant to appeal to the demographic that finds the Galaxy Note too small to be used as a tablet.
- This comes with Android 3.2 and the TouchWiz UI is the same as the one seen on the bigger siblings – Tab 730 and Tab 750, complete with the pop-up dock!
- The 7-inch display is the PLS LCD type, with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. From the little we have used this tablet till now, don’t think the video watching experience will be a lot of fun. Even the text seems slightly rough.
