Magnificent. Overpriced

kevintangi has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

This is my first tablet, second samsung device. I bought it in a quite expensive price, above $529 i think. i bought the 16GB model, white color. at 26/01/12
even though the battery capacity is quite big (4000 mAh) but it cant stand long for heavy gaming..
That time when i bought it, Its still on stock Honeycomb 3.2 and im unable to upgrade to ICS. after several months of waiting, Samsung finally announce that Tab Plus will get ICS. but i tried waiting everyday, still no updates. Finally, I upgraded to ICS via Odin and firmware from Sammobile page (risky way). But after upgrading to ICS, everything is better than old honeycomb. Screen transtitions and everything are smoother... And scores in Antutu and Quadrant rose significantly .
One more thing , It has official JB update, and CM9 and CM10 are available for the Tab Plus at XDA.
