Limitations of the new Samsung Galaxy tablet
By Liz
Samsung has again challenged Apple’s supremacy in tablet segment by launching second version of its Galaxy tablet. This time round Galaxy Tablet from Samsung has two distinct versions – Galaxy 10.1 Tab and Galaxy 8.9 Tab. The end users should act in a rational manner and read through online reviews to double check if they really wish to invest in Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab. However, the projected iPad killer has its own set of limitations which are highlighted as below:
- Camera – The official rumors suggested enablement of a 5 MP frontal camera and an 8 MP rear camera on the Galaxy 10.1 Tab. However, the actual look under featured – a 2 MP frontal camera and 3.15 MP rear camera.
- Bulky Design – When compared with iPad 2 the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab lacks the luster and is bulky in overall design too. The height, width and depth transitions of Galaxy 10.1 Tab are 256.6 X 172.9 X 8.6 mm while that of an iPad 2 are 241.2 X 185.7 X 8.8 mm. Although it is just marginally thinner than iPad but less narrow across the board. Hence, it has poor portability aspect associated with it.
- You can’t use Skype on Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab – The early users of the tablet have indicated their inability of using Skype on the tablet. For some strange technical reason the stored procedures does not provide video calling via Skype. The prime question is then why is the frontal cam enabled on Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet?
- No Cases Yet For Tablet – Unlike iPad, finding a cushioned and official case for Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet would be a tough nut to crack for the end users. They need to safely keep it in the box itself for initial some time till they find an alternative solution. What’s even more annoying is that an iPad case will not fit Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet
