Modern devices very quickly lose their relevance due to the constant improvement of models. So the 7-inch tablet computer Sumsung Galaxy Tab 2 was replaced by a model with a 10-inch screen. Let's consider its main characteristics and advantages.
In April 2012, Sumsung presented its new development - the Galaxy Tab 2 tablet with a 10.1-inch screen. For several years of its existence, the new device has already won the hearts of technology lovers. Let's consider in more detail the main characteristics of the technical novelty and its main differences from the previous version with a 7-inch screen.
Overview of the external characteristics of the tablet computer Sumsung Galaxy Tab 2
The novelty has a height of 256.6 mm and a width of 175.3 mm. In turn, the thickness of the device is only 9.7 mm. Despite its impressive size, the tablet has a fairly low weight, which is only 588 grams.
The plastic gray body has an elegant design with clear yet flowing contours. It should be noted that the body is made of a special material that gives a unique tactile sensation. The device has completely anti-aliased edges and no right angles. This design helped the manufacturer move away from the exact copy of Apple devices.
On the back there is the manufacturer's logo, which assumes vertical use of the tablet computer. On the right side of the case are all the navigation buttons of the device - the volume rocker and the lock button. In turn, on the left side of the computer there are: a hole for microSD, a hole for a SIM card. These outlets are masked with a special valve that protects the functional openings from dirt and dust.
On the bottom side there is a socket for a charger, which in parallel serves as a connector for connecting to a personal computer. In the same part of the Galaxy Tab 2, there are speakers covered with a special mesh.
Most of the computer's surface is occupied by the display. On the back there is a camera.
Device operating system overview
The Galaxy Tab 2 is based on a 2-core TI OMAP 4430 processor, which has a clock speed of 1 GHz. The amount of RAM is 1 GB. The manufacturer has announced two models of the device. They will differ only in the amount of built-in memory (16 and 32 GB). The device is equipped with a slot for memory cards micro SD, with which you can expand the memory of the device.
The tablet computer has an operating system based on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The developers believe that it is thanks to this that the computer will have high technical productivity. Unfortunately, the volume of the operating system does not exceed 1 GB. This roominess is enough for basic surfing the Internet, or for watching videos. If you are going to use more demanding applications, it is worth considering an additional memory card.
For 2012, such tablet specifications were a significant technical achievement, however, today, you can find a better performance device for less money.
In addition, the two new models will feature 3G support. Tablet PC will be released with and without this feature.
Galaxy Tab 2 supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB. The latest development is equipped with a GPS system and GLONASS navigation software. In addition, the device is equipped with standard applications that allow you to use the tablet as a personal computer.
Screen characteristics of Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
The screen takes up most of the tablet computer. Manufacturers have installed a display on the Galaxy Tab 2, which operates on a PLS matrix. These models have softer colors and smoother tones. However, based on this, there are some disadvantages. The fact is that devices based on such matrices smear colors in sunlight. Therefore, users should be prepared for the fact that in the bright sun the pictures on the tablet computer will be practically indistinguishable. This situation can be corrected only by setting the maximum screen brightness.
The screen resolution is 1024: 600 pixels, which indicates a relatively low picture density. The display works with a multi-touch function, which is able to recognize up to ten simultaneous screen touches.
The tablet has an automatic light sensor that allows the computer to adjust the brightness level. Although many users claim that this function does not work correctly. The most optimal would be self-setting the brightness level in manual mode.
Battery
High energy consumption is very important for small models of phones and tablets. However, user reviews prove that the tablet device has a very high-quality battery that can keep the battery charge up to 5 hours with its active use. The manufacturer indicates in the technical specifications the battery capacity of 4000 mAh. When switched on at medium load, it can work for up to 24 hours.
Camera Specifications
If we talk about the functionality of the camera in a tablet computer, it can be noted that this device is not suitable for capturing video and creating high-resolution images. However, manufacturers are desperately trying to improve the characteristics and parameters of this device. Sumsung has a 3 megapixel main camera that allows you to take pictures with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. In addition, for the video format, the maximum is 720 p.
In addition, the device is equipped with a front camera that allows you to take popular selfies. Its resolution is 0.3 megapixels.
Sumsung Galaxy Tab 2 Multimedia and Communication
Based on user feedback, both features are presented at their best. The device software allows recognition of most of the formats that exist at the moment.
With regard to communication, it practically does not differ from most models on the market. The device is equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a GSM module that allows you to send text messages and make calls. Variations of models offer a choice of 3G function, which allows you to connect to the Internet
