Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1: Full Review of the 2012 model – Part 1

The 2012 model of Samsung’s 10-inch tablet, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is finally out in the market is ready for sale. It can be purchased online on Samsung’s own store and other retailers like Best Buy and Wal Mart. It is also available on-shelves at major retail store chains all over the world.

Samsung released the 10.1 version of its signature Galaxy Tab brand after a year and the new device comes with its highs and lows. The new tablet is thicker and heavier than its predecessor and sports a titanium silver colour on a plastic body.

The new slate features the latest version of mobile operating system from Google, Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it is not the first to do so, the earlier Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 also came pre-installed with ICS.

Although the new tablet is a sequel to Galaxy Tab line the company started last year and is priced at $394, it lacks the oomph of the 2011 version and also is tuned down deliberately in certain features.

When it comes to newer models of any device, the first thing that comes to mind is upgrades in features and shape. However, the technology world has so far ignored this cardinal rule of producing next generation models. There are many examples in 2012 releases that support the above premise. Devices like the new iPad 2012 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 are some of the examples that have either gained in weight and size or have had little tweaks to the shape at best or both.

The new Tab 2 10.1 has many reasons to become a flop in current market, given the premium shape and features of its predecessor from last year and more rigorous competitors in the market like Asus Transformer Pad TF300.
