Criteria Comments Rating
  • Features Would have liked to see USB and HDMI ports, but not having them isn't a deal-killer. Tegra 2 processor and plenty of RAM make Honeycomb fly. good
  • Display High-resolution, bright, and extremely responsive. great!
  • Battery life Easily goes all day with heavy web use and occasional video, game, and music streaming great!
  • Ease of use UI not as sleek as iOS, some minor bugs, getting music on the device was harder than it should be. so-so
  • Storage capacity Same price points as the iPad2, would have been nice to have microSD as well. good
  • Design and form factor Thinnest and lightest 10 inch tablet on the market without sacrificing features. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) See above. great!
  • Durability Feels great in the hand, the metallic grey version feels much nicer than the plastic white one. good
Detailed review
A finer piece of hardware than the acclaimed iPad 2 with a thinner and lighter design along with a better processor, better cameras, and a better screen. The still-buggy Android 3.1 Honeycomb software is the only detractor as app selection is much less than on the iPad. Still, the Tab 10.1 shows the potential of Android on tablets and shows that Samsung can compete, and even best, Apple in hardware design.

The deciding factor between this and the iPad should be if you prefer iOS over Android.
