Many tablets have price tags that match their
large screen size, and can cost more than a lot of people are comfortable spending in one go.
Not the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, which is trimmed down in every way, featuring a 7-inch display and a cut-down price that makes it an affordable option that performs above its price range.
Key Features
A plastic bezel around the display makes it even easier to hold without accidentally hitting the screen, and that screen itself is bright and clear. While maybe not the highest spec around, there is no problem viewing web pages and using apps, all of which look great when spread out across the large area.
Running Android Jelly Bean, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 has some very up-to-date software and can run the whole suite of apps available from Google Play. Users have three homescreens to play with, giving you lots of space to fill up with app icons and widgets, plus the user interface lets you put save quick links to some apps on the lock screen. This means that they can be opened in almost no time, should you want to just dip into your emails or do a quick web search.
Music, videos and photos are all handled by the suite of apps that come with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, and the Wi-Fi connectivity makes for fast streaming of YouTube clips and other bits and pieces you find online.
Samsung has created a low-cost tablet without cutting corners, making a compact device that can be picked up and used without any fuss at all. We’re big fans of the size and shape of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 – it’s large enough to give that “wow” factor to anything shown on the screen but small enough to be held and used comfortably.
We did find that the performance can be a bit sluggish when opening and closing apps, but this is only going to be a problem for the most demanding user and won’t affect most people at all. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is ideally suited to anyone who likes the idea of having a tablet around to use occasionally but doesn’t want to break the bank in getting their hands on one.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Review
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3: Design & Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is a fantastic size that’s really easy to grip with one hand so you can tap away on its screen with the other. The tablet’s clearly designed to be held in portrait mode, although it flips round on its side easily enough for when you want to show off films and photos, and its chunky form factor feels sturdy but without being uncomfortably heavy.A plastic bezel around the display makes it even easier to hold without accidentally hitting the screen, and that screen itself is bright and clear.
