Tried 3 tablets before I purchased this one. This is the first to offer an easy operating system that is efficient and fast. I am sure I will be even more pleased with it after I learn all about it. Thanks Samsung!

Awesome tablet

Expertise:Intermediate
This was purchased to replace an ipod and kindle fire from being carried around all the time. The battery life on it does really well on it, will get at least a days worth of use while out doing things, I regularly charge my devices over night. I have yet to find anything about it that has not been an upgrade from the devices it was purchased to replace.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, android os
Cons: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fills A Need

Have really enjoyed this product and it fits perfectly with my needs. I didn't want a large tablet and this 7" does what I need in a convenient size.
As a power user, I wish it had more memory but it is not limiting my use of the product yet.
I'm happy with my purchase as I didn't want to spend a fortune on a tablet and didn't want a large sized product. Great value for the price.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: lack of memory
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brilliant!

I bought this for my 22 year old daughter - she absolutely loves it!. We live in London, UK, and she is really smug about having such a new model that isn't out over here yet. She uses it for emails, web browsing and reading books. It is light and easy to handle (I have an ipad that is much heavier and gives me cramp in my arm). She has taken it on holiday with her and uses it standing up on the tube. The only downside is that many of the apps that are available are not compatible with that new Android version.
I'm so impressed with it, I'm gonna buy myself one!

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, use instead of a kindle, ideal size

Minor issues but good value for travel tablet
on July 25, 2012

I wanted to replace my first-gen iPad with a 7" tablet. My choice came down to this device and the Nexus 7. Samsung won for one simple reason: the micro SD slot.
The Gtab is lighter than the iPad -- though hardly lightweight, especially when compared to a Nook Touch -- which makes a difference for extended reading of e-books, or reading while lying down. Being a smaller device, it's also easier to travel with; it doesn't take up as much room in a carry-on and it fits in a coat pocket (or even a cargo pocket in my shorts!). The micro SD card slot means I can carry more videos to watch on a plane, though the battery life for video isn't as long as I'd like. Battery life while streaming Netflix via WiFi is even less; it's good for 2 - 2.5 hours and then it's time to recharge.
I don't understand complaints I've read about the screen and its resolution. The screen is bright, colors look reasonably good, and playback is smooth. Any artifacts I've seen in videos come from the videos themselves, not the screen.
Small speakers don't sound particularly great, but these are at least good enough to let someone else listen with me on occasion. Sound through good headphones is quite good.
The Gtab is good for reading, too; the size makes it easier to handle. I've had some issues with certain e-books, but they're from the e-book or the reader app, not from the tablet.
I'm glad that the Gtab came with Android 4 installed, so I didn't need to wait for an upgrade. However, I'm not happy that there is so much bloatware preinstalled, and no way to remove it without rooting the tablet. I also dislike the fact that there is no way to move apps -- or data that they download/install -- to the external SD card without rooting the tablet. Some apps can't even see the external card (which, I realize, could be the fault of the app rather than the tablet).
Given that Samsung has locked down so many things to internal storage, it would have been nice to have a 16gb device available. I'd have paid an extra $50 for that. Instead, I'll get around to rooting the tablet one of these days so I can ditch stuff I don't use and move things to external storage. For now, though, I'm fairly happy with the Gtab.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, excellent form factor for travel, came with android 4 ics, smooth video playback
Cons: bloatware that i can't remove, unable to move apps or data to external sd card, should come with 16gb internal storage, touchscreen sometimes slow to respond, battery life with wifi on could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Tab 2 is a great choice
on July 31, 2012

Expertise:Expert
I bought my Galaxy Tab 2 as a replacement for a lost Nook reader and it was the best decision I've made. Screen is beautiful, sound is phenomenal and the WiFi connection is more robust than any device I've ever used. I wish the charger was a mini-USB instead of a 30 pin so I could use the same cable for multiple devices, but that is the only criticism I have for this outstanding device. I don't think you can get a better tablet anywhere near the price.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: 30 pin power cable
