It's not materially better than the OG model -- in fact, it's worse in almost every way ... Assuming you were going to ignore that camera anyway, you can't exactly go wrong with the 10.1, but you could also do a lot better.

A bright display, long battery life and a smart remote make Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 a compelling and affordable choice.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is comes up short in performance, features, and value compared to competing tablets.

The Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) is the same flagship tablet Samsung released a year ago, but this time around it has the latest version of Android and a lower price tag. With mediocre performance and aging components, there are better alternatives.

So while the Wi-Fi version is a fine tablet, especially if you can get it for less than $400, the 4G cellular version isn't worth its high asking price given the state of the rest of its specs.

There's no doubt at all that the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is very capable indeed. The screen is clear, bright and has great viewing angles, although it lacks that super-high resolution that's all the rage these days.

At the end of the day, if you’re in the market for a tablet, you could do a lot worse than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. It’s a solid performer, and the bright widescreen display is tailor-made for things like watching HD video.

Though this tablet is not made specifically to compete with the iPad ... you’ll find it to be amongst the best values in the Android world for those of you not looking for the best processor on earth. If you just want to watch movies and browse the web, this may well be your best bet.

I'd still recommend the iPad 2 over the Tab 2... and if you're leaning that way anyway it's worth spending $100 more to get the latest-generation iPad, with the gorgeous display and improved performance. Samsung's on the right track, but the price might still be a bit too high.

This Galaxy Tab 2 is a sensible package for a reasonable price. Alright, it may be short on thrills - but what matters here is it's good at the essentials. And not just good enough - it's a great portable video player and the browsing experience is top notch too.

For the price point and features you will receive, the Samsung Tab 2 10.1 brings the best of a middle range pricing to high end specs. The 10.1 inch display is a beauty, and Ice Cream Sandwich performs very well on the device.

The overall computing power and the good build quality (display, audio) are largely sufficient to perform the usual tasks for work – email, calendar, web browsing, video conferencing – and for entertainment – social network apps, video and audio playback, drawing.

Compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) doesn’t innovate in any way with its ho-hum specs sheets... Sammy has opted to make this line as its affordable offering – though, at $50 less ($450), it’s not particularly deemed as something super affordable compared to other thing

As far as middle of the road Android tablets go, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 hits the nail on the head. It's doesn't stray too far from the norm, failing to offer anything truly exciting or different, but also ensuring it doesn't fall flat on its face.

... if you want a non-Apple tablet that is similar in screen size and mostly equal in performance for both multimedia and work purposes, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 certainly does the job. If you are after the best Android tablet, there are definitely cheaper alternatives out there.
