America IT site InfoWorld editor Galen Grumman (Galen Gruman) wrote on Friday, Samsung Galaxy Tab conducted a comprehensive evaluation. The following is the full text: apple quality, elegant and competition and innovation, almost doomed to failure. Compared with apple, the majority of products will make people feel not easy even unqualified. With a 7 inch screen and a Android 2.2 operating system, Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet computer the same.
Galaxy Tab have some advantages, Galaxy Express i437 Front Glass but its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. The reason why this happens, the hardware design of hand attributed to Samsung, another is the system because Android 2.2 is simply not as flat computer design. In the trial of this equipment, I understand Google why let the equipment manufacturers to wait for the Android specifically for the tablet computer system release. Samsung should follow the Google warning.
Galaxy Tab is very portable, because with a 7 inch widescreen display, and weighs only 12 ounces (about 340 grams), half the size and weight of only iPad. Anyone familiar with iPad will be very appreciated Galaxy Tab size. In addition, the product of the firmness and appearance is also very good: smooth, comfortable, rigorous.
Galaxy Tab even includes iPad lack of features, including front and rear facing cameras, and support the extended storage. However, compared with the $630 iPad Galaxy Tab, the $600 price is somewhat too high.
Portability than practical
In order to achieve portability, Galaxy Tab at the expense of a lot of practical. Because the text is too small, even if the increase in the size of the text, I still had to wear glasses, in order to use this device. Screen size also reduces the usability of network browser.samsung infuse 4g i997 LCD In the vertical view, the browser window is too small, and in the horizontal view, can only see the page of a narrow strip. IPad 9.7 inch screen will also feel cramped, but reading Webpage has enough.
I also found out that, due to the adoption of the 16:9 screen ratio, so apart from watching movies, Galaxy Tab are very poor in performing other tasks. Whether vertical or horizontal screen screen, the screen is very cramped. 4:3 screen iPad using apple is able to better adapt to the majority of applications and content, but the movie except.
For some simple information and games like "angry birds" (Angry Birds), Galaxy Tab's screen is still good. But if you want to enter some text, soft keyboard will appear too small, even in the horizontal view. In contrast, iPad can provide a soft key disk full size in the horizontal view, which can basically simulate the traditional keyboard. But because Galaxy Tab size too small, one can only use one finger tapping, and is similar to smartphones and iPod Touch feeling, although this is possible, but very slow.
I also found the touch screen Galaxy Tab response is not good enough, especially compared with iPad. When using the latter, I can quickly input, without loss of character.
Design of soft keyboard Android operating system also has the problem. Key information is too crowded, it is difficult to see the above alternative character label. And the shades of grey too bright, the font is too small. In the iPad and Galaxy Tab, can hold down a key not put way inputting characters, Galaxy Tab can even display the alternate character in advance (iPad does not provide this feature). But I hope that we can more easily see these characters.
Galaxy Tab screen is very clear, very bright, but you'd better turn off automatic brightness adjustment function. When the function is open, the device can change the brightness, not only will this distraction, but it is not good for your eyes. Not worth sacrificing the visual comfort at the cost of saving electricity. The good news is that the battery life of the Galaxy Tab is very long, full of electricity can easily match iPad 11 hours.
Slow speed
Since pixel less treatment, you may think that the performance of Galaxy Tab will be strong, but the fact is not so. Almost all of the operations are obviously delay, especially the display part. I used a soft keyboard typing usually are able to "lead", and when the rotating device, usually have to wait a moment, can realize the screen image reversal. Samsung and apple have adopted ARM architecture processor, but Samsung Hummingbird processor is unable to rival Apple's A4 processor. The irony is that Apple's A4 processor is composed of samsung.
In the use of Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi and 3G network, I also encountered some obstacles. Compared with iPad, these two functions are very dull. In the Sprint and Verizon wireless 3G network, take 10 minutes or longer to download Kindle a book, but in the use of AT&T network in iPad, but only one or two minutes. Galaxy Tab even appeared a few times network timeout situation. I don't think this is because the AT&T network is better, because I use a smartphone, the Sprint of the same area and Verizon network are better than AT&T.
Galaxy Tab couldn't even access part of Wi-Fi network, other equipment and I test (iPad, iPod Touch, the BlackBerry Torch, Google Nexus One, Mac and Windows XP PC) is not the existence of any problems. The Wi-Fi network itself is certainly no problem, because iPad can normally access.
The application of Android inferior
There are differences in the quality of large iPad applications and Galaxy Tab application. I have installed a large number of applications in these two devices, almost every time is Android more time.
