Design

3 Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 is comfortable in hand. It is adorned with the famous white plastic which the manufacturer has accustomed us.

for the Galaxy Tab 8.0, you can read our review here, the design of the tablet has been designed so that it can be used in portrait on the front with a physical home button redirecting . From either side of this button are dedicated to virtual menu key and back.

two speakers are cleverly placed on the underside of the vehicle with the center, the microUSB port.

Finally, we see the back of the Galaxy Tab 3 the back camera sensor. However, unlike the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, the 7 “has a rear convex hull. In fact, it is thicker, and the difference is sensitive to the comparison.

Screen

definition of this 7-inch screen is 1024 x 600 pixels with a density of 170 ppi, which is disappointing in light of what is currently on the market. However, I must admit that the slate is pleasantly light and its viewing angles are good.

Let

now test the color rendering. For this, I compared our Galaxy Tab 3 with Nexus 7 first generation. Overall, the Nexus 7, 2012, on the right, offers the most pleasant colors TFT screen of the Samsung tablet. Red pulls a little to pink, white is slightly dimmed … All goes well, but does not equate his rival.

Software

The tablet runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and includes the famous overcoat known as Samsung TouchWiz. It is also present on the 8.0 version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 3. The proposed slate in this application are thus substantially the same as its big sisters.

Interface

Interface2

With this tablet, you have the right to “Hub” developed by Samsung Music Hub, Video Hub, Game Hub and Learning Hub. These applications are used in sequence, music, videos, games and education. Some will be happy, while others regret duplicate these applications cause with those of Google, like Play Movies and Play Music. Note, however, that this 7-inch tablet Samsung strangely does not benefit the Hub dedicated to books, but you can settle for the application of Google Play Books. We also note the absence of Paper Artist, an image editing application that allows you to apply filters and frames to photos and who is present in the other two versions of the Galaxy Tab 3.

Another feature of this interface is integrated Samsung Apps, an application presenting themselves as an alternative to Google Play Store. It gives access to a catalog of applications from Samsung. Its usefulness is in my opinion very limited as the supply of already particularly given platform downloads Google.

Finally, the notification bar is as usual with Samsung handy with the ability to select the shortcuts that you want to appear.


Photo and Video

-camera back camera sensor is 3.15 megapixels. The result is frankly unconvincing, as you can see from the photographs below. The colors are bland, the level of detail is far from good.

should not expect to have access to a wealth of options available. Only the most classics like timer and white balance are present. The lack of flash is also felt.

front camera only has 1.3 megapixels at least the merit of use for video conferencing.

Finally, the back camera of the device is capable of recording video in 720p.


Performance

The machine features a dual-core Marvell PXA 986 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and coupled with 1 GB of RAM méoire. What can we expect with such features

the analysis tools Quadrant, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7-inch 3 only gets 3382 points. This is very average face a new generation Nexus 7 shows a score of 6061 points.

And with version 4.0 of the Benchmark AnTuTu, the tablet gets an average score of 12,052 points.

Benchmark

These results may not be familiar and therefore you are not suggestive. To make it simple, know that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 3 is capable of 3D games run properly without suffering a downturn. The side of the web navigation cons, we would have liked that page loading is faster. Note finally that the tablet tends to heat up pretty quickly, which does not exactly inspire confidence.


Autonomy

life of the battery of this tablet is very average. With a rate of 4000 mAh, the machine loses 24% of energy when playing a video on YouTube for a period of one hour with the brightness and the maximum, which is above of the standard. Otherwise, you will lose 5% of battery while playing 15 minutes on a low fuel type game Temple Run. On paper, it supposed to take 8 hours before needing to be recharged.

Our Verdict

design

The design of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 3 is ergonomic and comfortable in hand with easy access buttons. Its white plastic coating is not off-putting, although some detractors point to. Too bad she does not carry the sharpness of his colleague of 8 inches.

7

screen

definition display, 1024 x 600 pixels, is disappointing. The color rendering turns to neon, as on other devices in the Galaxy Tab range 3. However, this model has the advantage of being particularly bright, with good viewing angles.

6

software

device runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and incorporates the TouchWiz overlay. The tab of the manufacturer is present in the interface. This may bother some users, while others love to receive all applications provided.

7

performance

The tablet does not suffer from bugs and you can play 3D games quite greedy. However, web browsing is unfortunately not as smooth as one would hope.

6

autonomy

autonomy of this slate is not very convincing. Our video playback test proves that the tablet will discharge faster than most other tablets on the market.

6

camera

front camera of 3.15 Megapixel sensor gives an average result. Note that the unit also has a front 1.3 megapixel sensor that can record video in 720P.

6

Offered at a price of 219 euros, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 has 3 more attractive than its big sister 8 inches which is 100 euros more expensive price. But for that the manufacturer has unfortunately skimped on the screen resolution, which is disappointing with low 1024 x 600 pixels. As for performance, the tablet holds up. However small flat for web browsing that is not always very fast. But more than 200 euros, this tablet is facing today in the tough competition conducted by the latest version of Nexus 7, including technical specifications and screen resolution remains far above. In short, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 3 if it will appeal to fans of Samsung, is too expensive compared to what the competition offers.

  • Ergonomic Design
  • well supplied
  • Software Interface

  • presence of a microSD slot
  • good viewing angles
  • average screen resolution
  • not always fluid web browsing
  • No HDMI port
  • Autonomy disappointing
