Description

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 adopts the “Samsung look” - all plastic with a single physical home key encircled by a menu and back button (on-screen buttons are gone), and the rear camera is positioned centrally. But look at the spec sheet, and you won’t notice an inch of a difference. The Galaxy Tab 3 has a 7-inch 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB or 16GB of internal storage. It’s also got a 3-megapixel rear and 1.3-megapixel front cameras. Yes, that is exactly the same configuration last year’s Galaxy Tab 2 had. After carefully comparing the spec sheets, we did notice a single difference- the Galaxy Tab 3 is lighter with a weight of 0.66 pounds (302 g) compared to the 0.75lb (344 g) on the second-gen tablet. It’s also got narrower bezel, saving you a total of 0.44 inches (1.13cm) on the Y axis.

This device is also known as Samsung Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7-inch, Samsung SM-T217S, Samsung SM-T210, Samsung SM-T211

This tablet is terrible I don't recommend it

Edited: Mar 28, 2015, 3:09 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

This tablet is not worth the money has a 5 year old screen of just 1024x600 which is terrible even for £100 you don't get HD can't play 3d games well but the sound quality is quite good for a 7inch tablet but still there are better tablets on the market for around this price

I'm glad this P.O.S. was free. Other than that, its pretty much junk. 4G 3G or Wi-Fi, on a good signal I constantly have too restart the thing to browse. Boo................................................

I'm using it everyday and it's ok, but i always experiencing lags and hangs, and it also always heating the back of the tablet. I also have some issues in music player.Battery life is good.

overall this tab is decent for its price :)
