Performance

winded, but good battery life

This tablet has a processor almost unknown, signed Marvel. It is a double heart model clocked at 1.2 GHz that offers very average performance and is slowing faster with complex applications such as video games. Despite the low resolution of the tablet screen (1024 x 600 pixels), the modest chipset (Vivante GC1000) is no miracle either. The March 7 inch Galaxy Tab is especially designed for desktop use and classic media – it also reads all video formats up to 1080p -. And is limited to basic games
However, this small slate good endurance. Its battery of 4000 mAh capacity allows it to surf the Internet (WiFi) and play a video for more than 8 hours. Moreover, it is surprisingly little energy in standby (WiFi on).


hard to compete with the Nexus 7

Despite its endurance, hard to find a real attraction to this slate. His display of good viewing angles and the correct brightness (410 cd / m²), but the contrast ratio is down (837:1). In addition, the definition is far too small to impress the barge. It impacts even more comfortable reading in some cases!
Note finally that TouchWizz Samsung interface is pleasant to use, very ergonomic. Only his animations are sometimes a bit laborious …

verdict

If this 7-inch tablet is not a bad product, it does not overshadow what the latest Google Nexus 7. The Galaxy Tab is working properly, has good battery life and has the advantage of integrating a memory card reader. But it is not really enough.
