Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 review

For all intents and purposes, eight inches is the new sweet spot for tablets. We've so far seen a few hits with this form factor, the Samsung Galaxy Note

Crisp, bright display ; Slim design ; Runs Android 4.2

Glitchy performance ; Unremarkable compared to competitors

The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 features a nice display and a slim design, but it's otherwise a forgettable device.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 review: Middle of everywhere

In their third generation, the Galaxy Tab series by Samsung are finally coming to terms with playing second fiddle to the Notes. The S-Pen and the processing power are, at this point, the main dividing line between mainstream and premium, but the gap...

8.0" 16M-color LCD capacitive touchscreen of 800 x 1280 pixel resolution ; Android OS v4.2.2 with TouchWiz ; 1.5 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU, Mali-400MP GPU, 2GB of RAM, Exynos 4212 Dual chipset ; 5 MP autofocus camera with face detection ; 720p HD...

Speakers at the bottom (portrait), rather than front-facing on either side ; No NFC support ; No FM Radio ; Questionable still image and video recording quality

This year's update of the Galaxy Tab series makes room for an 8" tablet and it looks like a logical decision by Samsung to build on the momentum of the Note 8.0. You lose the S-pen and two CPU cores but you get slimmer bezels and lighter weight - some...

Samsung gets it mostly right with the 8-inch Galaxy Tab 3

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 features a comfortable design, great screen, and myriad features at a premium price.

The ; light, comfortable design, myriad useful features, and bright colorful screen makes the 8-incher one of the best small tablets on the market.

A price of $300 is a lot for any small tablet, and some features like Smart Stay and Watch On’s search don’t work as well as intended.

It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung’s best non-Note tablet yet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and 10.1 review

Samsung has no idea what size Android device you want but, by golly, it's going to find out. Throughout its massive Galaxy lineup, Samsung has hedged its bets on almost every possible device size...

Comfortable to hold in one hand ; Great for watching movies

Interface is slow and choppy ; Design feels cheap ; Display is mediocre

The right size for an Android tablet, but the execution's not quite there

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is an excellent Android tablet that can multitask and serve as a universal remote, but it doesn't quite stand out.

Well-built, thin and light design. Android 4.2.2. Excellent display. Solid Wi-Fi. Acts as a universal remote.

Relatively expensive. Finicky touch screen.

Multimedia and Conclusions Samsung has done a good job with multimedia support and features for its Galaxy tablets. For video, the Tab 3 8.0 supports MP4, H.264, DivX, Xvid, and WMV files at up to 1080p resolution. For audio you get MP3, AAC, FLAC,...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Review

With the mid-sized tablet in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 series you're getting the only device on the market to go to war with the similarly-sized Galaxy Note. For Samsung it would appear easy to create so many device sizes that there's got to be one...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is a fine upgrade from what’s been offered at this size range by the manufacturer in past generations. While the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 bests this tablet in essentially every area save its smaller bezel, the Galaxy Tab 3...

The third generation of Galaxy Tab slates consists of three tablets of different sizes, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch is the middle child in the family. It is an Android 4.2.2 based tablet that fits perfectly in the mid-range category – with an...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8.0) LTE - A Phablet in Disguise

Samsung has been on a roll releasing new tablets for almost every segment, including young pre-school kids! The Galaxy Tab 3 series makes up the company's mainstream offerings and we take a look at the 8-inch variant that's becoming a new sweet spot...

Decent display ; Long battery life ; Make calls directly with LTE edition ; microSD card slot

Not a HD screen ; Middling performance ; Expensive

Considering that the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is targeted at the mid-range tablet segment, it’s not too bad a device on its own. Once you start performing close comparisons, the proposition of the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 diminishes somewhat. The Wi-Fi only edition...
