Samsung Tab 2 10.1 WiFi - Very Detailed Review On The Many
Excellent Features Of This Tablet.
By Daisy S
Since October 22, 2012, (getting close to nine months now), I
have been totally enjoying this Tab 2 10.1 WiFi tablet. Since I am a techie, I
tested this tablet thoroughly and I have found it to be excellent for my
everyday basic computer functions at home and on the road. And it is much
easier to travel with than my heavy laptop. For you the reader, my goal here is
to give you everyday and practical uses regarding the Tab 2 10.1 WiFi model. UPDATED
REVIEW AS OF July 3, 2013:
PROS:
- EXTERNAL SLOT FOR MICRO SD CARD - What a great feature! It
is set to accept up to 32g SD, however, you can add a 64gb SD card, however, you
will have to format it inside the Tab 2 and it will then be ready to add files.
For me, I placed a 32g in mine for music, files etc. Note that this was one of
the deciding factors that sold me on this tablet. *Keep in mind where External
SD cards are concerned: They are JUST for your personal files: music, videos, photos,
and other files. When you install apps from the Playstore or other sources, they
store either in INTERNAL SD Card area or the main internal area. This is the
law of the land where Android is concerned and ALL newer Android devices (including
Samsung) work this way when storing your downloaded apps are concerned.
- WiFi Connecting/Speed of WiFi - This I tested using my
home router and on the go at many hotspots with WiFi. What I discovered: The
Tab 2 connected very quickly to my home router and has a high rate of speed no
matter where I am located in my home (of course the closer to the router, the
faster). Other hotspots: No problems at all connecting and staying connected on
these. And I found the speed still high at home with several devices connected
to the router, no loss in speed. **Note that I had other tablets before this
one and for me, none gave me the quick connect and overall speed over WiFi as
the Tab 2. **Newest observation--Today, I tested ALL my WiFi devices (phones
and Tablets) and discovered this: Using my home router I noticed that the Tab 2's
that I own (7 inch and 10.1 ones), connected faster and have far greater
distance to my router than even my Android phone did as it seems to have the
HIGHEST signal strength). Personally for me I found that Samsung connects
faster to WiFi and has the signal. I took the Tab 2 outside and even in my back
yard (furthest from router), still got a signal, moved in to back porch and got
a very good signal. The same holds true when I travel, I am able to connect to
many free WiFi hotspots, easily with great signal strength.
- Internet & Webpage & Video Viewing - The stock
browser does a great job, however, I use Maxthon Browser with great internet
viewing results and it renders webpages quite fast for me. And I suggest the
free app called Pocket from the Playstore so you can read internet articles
later offline. Even TODAY after almost ten months of ownership, I still enjoy
using this tablet for viewing internet pages, videos and more.
- Reading/Creating/Editing Word, Excel, Text Files and much
more on this tablet: This comes with a OK app for reading Office documents, but
you cannot create or edit them on that. Therefore, I installed a FREE APP
called Kingsoft Office from the Playstore (it reads, edits and creates Office
files and reads PDF files). This app is a MUST have for tablet owners in my
opinion.
- Printing Using the Tab 2 - Yes, even with my older home
printer, I print documents, photos, etc that are on my Tab 2 using the app
Cloud Print and PrinterShare Mobile (both free from Playstore. In addition, there
are many apps in the Playstore that will allow you to print using the Tab 2. (If
you have questions about printing using the Tab 2 or any question, please ask
in the comment section and I will answer).
- Watching Online Flash Videos Directly From Maxthon Browser
(regular one not the tablet one is best) - If archived flash is installed and
Maxthon Browser or other good browsers, I can play videos online. Also, as I
May 21, 2013, (with installed Archived Flash), I once again get Amazon Videos
to play even in full screen. All videos I have tried have played just fine. ***Please
ask me in the comments if you need more details regarding watching online
videos of any kind on the Tab 2 and also instructions on archived flash,etc...
- Home Videos - The stock video player is OK and plays MOST
home videos, however, may I suggest QQ Player (Free App from Playstore and the
ONLY one I recommend as it plays every home video I tried).
- Music Player/Sound Quality - Stock player has clear sound
through the outside "speakers" and very clear using headphones. To
sync easily with Windows Media Player may I suggest the Playstore app free) WinAmp
for the tablet as it is very highly rated and the sound is SUPERB!
- Battery Life- Excellent! This is what I have found: When I
am on WiFi, I go to the websites I need and then as soon as I am done (reasonable
time), I exit the browser (or YouTube, etc) and TURN OFF WiFi. However, I run
my brightness at 100%. So on an average day, I get at least 8-12 hours using
the tablet before I charge it (depending on how long my WiFi is connected).
- OTG USB Compatible - You can add an optional OTG (On the
Go adapter cable to the Micro port for copying files to your flash drive and
from your flash drive to the Tab 2). You can also plug in a mouse, I tried it and
it worked. *Note that portable external hard drives and portable DVD/CD drives
will not work using OTG in the Tab 2 because these both require a lot of power
to be compatible with the Tab 2 and most tablets that have the OTG. However, it
is still good to know that you can easily plug in your flash drive and copy
files to the Tab 2 and from Tab 2 to PC--what a time-saver.
- On-Screen Keyboard - For me, I prefer to use the large
keys on the on-screen keyboard so this one is PERFECT for me to type on. However,
there are many great Bluetooth keyboards out there for the Tab2.
- The tablet is very well constructed, however, to secure it
better, I bought from Amazon a MoKo adjustable stand/case that I set it up in
landscape mode and it has 3 positions.
- Bluetooth Speed and Performance - The Bluetooth paired
quickly with several devices and copied files at a great rate of speed. Speaking
of Bluetooth: Also there are many great Bluetooth keyboards out for the Tab2. (Just
make sure you purchase one for JUST THE TAB2 10.1).
- SPECIAL FREE OUTSTANDING APPS I SUGGEST FROM THE PLAYSTORE:
* Pocket App (This is a must app you can "save to"
Pocket and read text later when offline so you can read text articles (you must
be online to watch videos or view pictures however).
* Cloud Print and PrinterShare Mobile (both free lets you
print right from your tablet).
* TV SHOW APP (free) is US TV & Radio Free and also get
TV Guide app to go with this. This is an app that lets you watch many TV shows (but
they are live so you will need TV Guide app to see what is on). These apps I
have tried and the tablet plays the shows wonderfully in full screen. This app
also has great radio stations on it. (Note that this app is HUGE almost 33MB
but you can watch most cable TV shows on it LIVE).
* Netflix (free in Playstore), You really need this app if
you plan on watching Netflix using this tablet. * Hulu Plus, I recommend for
movies and more.
* TV.COM - gets SOME TV shows and some networks, but you can
watch pre-recorded shows.
Also great FREE apps: WiFi Analyzer (lets you know how
strong your WiFi is), QQ Player, QuickPic (better than the Gallery), Maxthon
Browser, AVG Antivirus Free, and I list more in comment section.
- Wonderful Kindle Android App is pre-installed, and I
downloaded several Kindle books with no problems. Kindle loads fast and this
Tablet is a joy to read a book on either Kindle or any eBook or PDF booklet.
CONS: (Just one con I found, however, this con is NOT the
fault of Samsung)
- New Adobe Flash is not supported, however, I found that
archived flash gets the online videos to play. So I downloaded the older
archived flash which gives me the ability to view many internet videos.
Bottom line: Would I buy this WiFi only model over again? Yes
I certainly would, in a heartbeat! So if you are looking for a superb Samsung 10.1
inch tablet and you have great access to WiFi, this is the one to buy. Also, since
I am somewhat of a techie person, I will be happy to answer any questions you
may have through the comment section.
Hope this review has assisted you and thank you for reading
it.

With ONE Caveat, I HIGHLY recommend this Tablet. This review
covers many brands and models.
By Arthur K. Yellin
Below is a review of several tablets I tried in MY
chronological sequence with them, with explanations of why I rejected all but
the Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 tablet. I am placing the same review under each model
I tried.
Background - I am now 65 - NOT a member of the electronic generation!
I love playing Scrabble and thought intensive games in general. I know very
little about smart phones or tablets. I firmly believe that a company OWES
SUPPORT to their consumers and NOT at additional cost! Customer service is VERY
important to me! Before anyone accuses me of bias: I have NO connection to ANY
of the companies mentioned. I am simply a consumer relating my personal
experiences!
iPad - first generation - EVERYTHING you do with it is tied
to iTunes. When I tried it, there was absolutely NO manual or documentation
available for iTunes. Beyond the first 90 days Apple wants to charge for tech
support. I found iTunes and the Apple OS to be confusing and difficult to use. The
tablet, itself, performed well but I prefer an OS that allows direct folder and
file access.
Samsung Galaxy 7 inch tablet first generation. This device
runs Android 2.3. It is now several years old and STILL functions perfectly. The
battery still holds an all day charge with moderate usage. I have never found
an app that is "incompatible" with this model. This is an important
point in the reviews that follow. I even used it to shoot surprisingly
excellent videos of a music/dance presentation in a dimly lit auditorium. Now, several
years later, with cataracts growing in both eyes as well as "floaters"
in both eyes, I was seeking a screen larger than the 7 inch.
Motorola Xoom 10.1 tablet. It is HEAVY. While it worked well,
for reasons unknown to me it was not compatible with several of my favorite
apps. Furthermore, the screen seems to get greasy very quickly!
Asus TF300 Transformer 10.1 inch tablet. While the construction
of mine was solid, all the other negative observations of other reviewers were
immediately apparent. The tablet would not maintain wi-fi contact even close to
my router. The Asus TF300 was also incompatible with many of my favorite apps. Finally,
the Asus TF300 (and TF700 mentioned below) has a strange auto-spelling correct
system that FREQUENTLY screwed up my typing. To their credit, Asus did answer
my question with instructions on how to turn the spelling correction off, but
only via email. They have NO telephone tech support.
Samsung Galaxy NOTE 10.1 inch tablet. While it offers a pull
out writing stylus AND a rear facing autofocus camera, I saw little difference
between it and the Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 table discussed below. At roughly $200
more than the Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 tablet, although it performed well, I did
not feel it was worth the difference in price.
Asus TF700 Transformer Infinity - suffers many of the same
problems as the less expensive TF300 model. SPASTIC OS, intermittent wi-fi
disconnection. The auto-brightness control also appeared not to work or not to
work properly. Perhaps worst of all, possibly because of the increased
resolution (the improved resolution was NOT apparent to MY eyes - it appeared
to me about the same as all the other tablets) the device is incompatible with
MANY apps!
Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 tablet. It performed as well as my
first generation Samsung Galaxy 7 inch tablet until I tried to download the
QuickMark app to scan bar and QR codes. According to the app developer, the app
is incompatible with the tablet because the tablet does NOT have an "autofocus"
rear facing camera. A phone call to Samsung tech support, and YES - Samsung
BELIEVES in customer support at no extra charge, confirmed the absence of autofocus
in the rear facing camera! Since I do NOT carry the tablet with me when I go
shopping and am NOT likely to scan Bar or QR codes often, I felt I could live
without the autofocus rear camera. However, I did find a different QR code app
that DOES work on the tablet. I have now had the tablet for a month and am
still loving it. SO FAR, I have not found any incompatible apps other than
QuickMark. I find the screen to be bright and sharp (auto brightness works well),
and the contrast to be superb. I have used it to watch Big Bang Theory via the
TBS app. The Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 inch tablet maintains strong wi-fi
connection both anywhere in my home and at the school where I attend classes. Other
than the lack of autofocus in the rear camera and the lack of direct USB
connectivity without their proprietary cable (sadly, this lack of
standardization is still common amongst tablet manufacturers), I have
absolutely no complaints at this time.
IF you do not need or can live without a rear camera that
autofocuses (it DOES have a rear camera and a front camera for SKYPE and other
functions), I highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy 2 10.1 tablet. At the current
price of $300 for the wi-fi 16GB model (memory is expandable through a micro SD
card. I see no need for a 32GB model), it is VERY reasonable! I think there are
also cell phone service compatible models at additional cost.
Advice to tablet shoppers:
1 - Buy from a source that allows easy returns without
restocking fees. Amazon is EXCELLENT for their customer service, but you may
want to buy from a local store to avoid shipping time and costs. Buy from a
source that does NOT charge a restocking fee AND allows a reasonable time for
device trial.
2 - Download as many apps that are free and that look
appealing to you. Try each one at least briefly. NOTE any apps that are not
compatible with the tablet you are testing. How important are they to you?
3 - Look at each screen under bright and dim lighting. How
do YOU find the brightness (usually adjustable, if auto-brightness does not
work well for you), the contrast, the sharpness?
4 - Log into your email account and/or create a Gmail
account. Type an email to someone. Does the auto spelling correct work well for
you? Is the virtual keyboard suited to your style and needs?
5 - Play with the tablet for a whole day, if you can afford
the luxury of sitting with it on. See how long the battery lasts.
It is now the end of June 2013. I have had my Samsung Galaxy
2 10.1 tablet for maybe 8 months. I STILL love it. I have traveled with it and
it has done WELL. I am surprised that some reviewers have problems with battery
life. I can use it CONTINUOUSLY for a whole waking day without needing to
recharge!
One comment of IMPORTANCE regarding Samsung customer service.
Unlike Apple, Samsung, at least at present, will provide technical support for
free as long as you own the product. AND, their tech support is SUPERB. I just
shot some videos with my Canon T3i and transferred them (easily, via Samsung
USB cable) to the 32 GB micro SD card I bought for the tablet. They are .mov
files. I was UNABLE to play them on the tablet, although they played well on my
PC. I called Samsung. After a brief time for research, their techie told me
that the Galaxy tablet does not come with an .mov player. BUT, he directed me
to the Google Play Store where I found a number of FREE apps to do the job. After
trying five, I settled on one that played both video and sound smoothly and in
real time.
Try calling Apple and asking a question 8-9 months after buying
an iPad! They'll charge you $63 for an answer that you might not be able to
understand!!!

Careful
By Z. Falborn
When buying this tablet, keep this in mind; this is brand
new but still old. Brand new in that it comes with the newest operating system
factory installed and Samsung changed some of the specs to put a #2 next to the
tablet name. This is old based on the fact that Samsung scraped a few design
features off the original tablet to sell this one at a cheaper price tag. As of
the first week of this tablet's release i have yet to find any downloadable
software that would enable me to play movies on it(besides Google's play store
of course). At this point tablets of this size are meant for entertainment; do
not see how this is going to entertain someone when the only way to view videos
is by already having them in the acceptable format or buying the them again
from Google's store.
You cannot currently download the application HBO-go, Hulu+ is
still not supported, and Amazon's streaming is still unsupported (all due at
the moment to the flash support). So until they come up with the patch work to
support streaming i wouldn't buy this tablet.
Yes, you can view websites. Music sounds great. YouTube is
cool to watch clips of people doing strange things while eating your breakfast.
Its nice to review my photos on a lightweight screen while sitting in bed.
This tablet will be AMAZING for the price point that it is
when they fix the support issues. I would have thought this to been taken care
of before the release date.
**Update** (June 24, 2012)
For the most part this tablet has been updated and can do
exactly what you want it to. Hulu+ now works. Streaming Amazon.com's movies is
great. HBO-go is still a no go. Accessories are getting better for the most
part. Software overall has been updated to work out the kinks and I WOULD
TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS TABLET for someone that does not want to go the Ipad
route.
***Update 2*** (November 4, 2012)
This tablet has been going strong battery life is still what
it was when i bought it on the release date. The app store now carries the HBO
GO app so my game of thrones addiction will continue whenever I'm not at home. Video
viewing programs continue to come out on the store as well, adding to your
viewing experience with this tablet.
