The refreshed Galaxy Tab 10.1 is stuck in the past. Its specs, mostly unchanged from last year's model, make this a forgettable product. At this price, you're better off looking...

The Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 is an unwise purchase. If you're looking for value, this isn't for you—you can buy better for less. If you're looking for the latest-and-greatest, the Galaxy Tab 3 lags behind other tablets—even ones released last year. This tablet...

Samsung has left the Galaxy Tab line languishing, as the company focuses its efforts on its superior Note devices. The Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 isn't much of an improvement over the Tab 2, which itself was only a modest update to the original Tab. This isn't a...

The Tab 3 10.1 makes some strides in bench testing, but we ran into some hurdles in day-to-day use: graphics glitches, awkward buttons, and subpar battery life. It's a decent tablet overall, but watch for a price drop (or firmware updates) before...

The Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 isn't a bad tablet. It isn't a great one either. It lies somewhere, perfectly in between the two. The issues we've had with the third-gen Tab 10.1, however, are deeply rooted. It scratches easily and stays oily and fingerprinted...

The Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 offers a thin and light design, a built-in TV remote and a look and feel that will be familiar to Samsung phone owners, but this Intel Atom-powered tablet suffers from too much...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 isn't a bad tablet, it's just a bit lacking for the price, and it provides little reason for Tab 2 owners to upgrade. The display, though not high resolution, is bright and colorful thanks to Samsung's PLS technology...

So, this has been an inevitable face-off: on one hand we have Apple's finest tablet, and on the other - Samsung's mainstream one. Even though they now occupy different classes, we're finding it hard to ignore the Galaxy Tab line, as it marked the...

good+) The Galaxy Tab line has always been one that we perceive to be a good choice, but nothing outstanding. Samsung has once again delivered a tablet that is good, but not amazing. The Galaxy Tab 3 is a competent enough tablet that will perform...
