Following part of the post will do the detailed analysis of device to state the final verdict on its strength or weakness in the market.

Design

The new Tab 2 10.1 inherits almost the same shape and size, except weight and depth, of its 2011 brother. With the same 6.9-inch height, 10.1-inch width, the outer perimeter is the same as Tab 10.1. However, worst happened in weight, where it is heavier than the 2011 model at 1.28 pounds as opposed to 1.24 pounds. Moreover, it is thicker at 0.38 inches as compared to 0.34 inches of Tab 10.1. The upgrade seems to be in the screen bezel which is 0.06 inches slimmer than the Tab 10.1 at 0.74 inches.

The shape is almost the same with the same rounded edges and corners and it has the same LCD screen with unchanged 1280×800 pixels resolution. When held in landscape mode, the default holding position, the top edge has power/sleep button, a volume rocker, a 32GB capacity micro-SD slot, an IR blaster, and a headphone jack. In addition, two 2-inch-long speakers stretch vertically along the left and right bezel. A dock connector and microphone pinhole sit along the bottom edge.

On the flip side of the screen is a 3-mega pixel camera on the top that can take 720p videos. The 2011 version had an LED Flash support, but unfortunately that has been taken away by the Korean company in this year’s version. At exactly the opposite side, there is a VGA-quality front-facing camera on the top of the screen. The front-facing snapper is a tuned down swap from 2-mega pixel shooter found in Tab 10.1. Moreover, micro-HDMI support has been snatched from the device.

The body has the same plastic built, however, it is not of cheap quality and the colour has been changed from white to Titanium silver. The device is a little hard to get a grip on and the problem aggravates while holding and typing.
