I found the tablet to be very fast and responsive in my initial testing, with greatly improved performance over previous Samsung tablets thanks to the dual-core processor and Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system that is optimized for tablets. The 10.1-inch display looks great, but the curved back makes it easy and comfortable to hold despite the large screen size. I also like the thin and lightweight design at just 11mm thick and 1.5 pounds - Erin |

I found the tablet's streamlined and lightweight design to be very appealing, similar to other Galaxy Tabs. It has the same internal hardware as other Galaxy Tab 10.1 versions, including a dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, Android 3.1 Honeycomb OS with TouchWiz, and front/rear cameras. In my time with the tablet, I found the TouchWiz interface to be smooth and responsive with no noticeable lag. The speakers, ports, buttons, and connections are neatly arranged and accessible. While T-Mobile has not announced pricing or availability yet, I think this will make an excellent holiday gift for T-Mobile customers looking for a nice big-screen Android tablet. - John B - PhoneArena |

I was very impressed with the tablet's fast performance and beautiful 10.1-inch TFT LCD display, which I found to render text and graphics beautifully. The tablet feels lightweight and thin, even thinner than an iPhone 4. In testing, I found web browsing, pinch-to-zoom, and scrolling all very smooth and responsive. The volume and placement of the speakers on the sides also make video playback very immersive. I did think the volume rocker placement could be improved and was disappointed by the lack of Samsung's video player app. 720p video played well, but 1080p was more laggy. - Matt Gray |
