What is the Samsung ATIV Tab 3?

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews and Specifications. The Samsung ATIV Tab 3 is the world’s thinnest Windows 8 tablet, lining up at just 8.2mm thick. It is cut from a similar design principle to the Android powered Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and features a 10.1-inch plastic body.
It has taken away some of the business impetus usually associated with Windows 8 tablets, with a familiar form factor hiding away a bundled Samsung S-Pen stylus. The ATIV Tab 3 is Samsung’s Windows 8 counterpart to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
Is the Samsung ATIV Tab 3 enough to tempt the casual tablet user down the Windows 8 route? We have gone hands-on to find out.

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews - Design

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews and Specifications. The Samsung ATIV Tab 3’s design is extremely familiar, sporting the same rounded edges and plastic build as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. At just 8.2mm thick it is breaking records, but more than that it is a nicely curved, aesthetically pleasing offering.
It feels comfortable in the hand with the tablet’s full weight spred evenly across the device’s full 10.1-inch form factor. The Samsung ATIV Tab 3 weighs in at just 550g, a full 100g lighter than the iPad 4. As such it is not a strain on the wrist and we can see ourselves carrying it around all day with little concern.
The ATIV Tab 3’s S-Pen integration is seamless. Located in the lower right corner of the tablet, the stylus slots discreetly into the body.
As with the Samsung Galaxy S4, however, the ATIV Tab 3’s design is brought down by its plastic construction. It looks nice enough, but it doesn't feel as refined or sturdy as rival 10-inch tablets.

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews - Screen

The Samsung ATIV Tab 3’s screen is a strong addition that felt bright and responsive, but not quite on par with some recent tablet offerings. It supports just a 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution spread across its 10.1-inch form, a far stretch from the 2560 x 1600p, 300ppi display found on the Google Nexus 10.
During our hands-on, colours felt bright and bold. The tablet’s multitouch options were also second to none with the ATIV Tab 3 proving highly responsive to our fingers’ commands. Despite making a strong first impression, we require more time with the device to pass full judgement on its screen.

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews - Performance

The performance of the Samsung ATIV Tab 3 ticks all the boxes required to make a satisfying tablet without ever setting the world alight. On first impressions it felt fast, not as smooth as the Nexus 10, iPad 4 or the Microsoft Surface Pro perhaps, but smooth enough.
The Samsung ATIV Tab 3 packs an Intel ATOM Z2760 CPU and 2GB of RAM. The integrated camera is another efficient addition. Capable of shooting 720p HD video it is smooth and with half decent light management on first use. Again further testing will be required ahead of a full review.
The same can be said about the Samsung ATIV Tab 3 battery life. Touted on paper as a 10 hour performer, we cannot yet currently vouch for this level of performance.

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews - First Impressions

Samsung ATIV Tab 3 Tablet Reviews and Specifications. The Samsung ATIV Tab 3 is a peculiar device, caught somewhere between the expectations of Windows 8 and Android tablets. Lacking some of the business impetus of the traditional Windows 8 tablets, such as the Microsoft Surface Pro, the ATIV Tab 3 boasts a sleek, streamlined form more akin to an Android offering. Whatever the case, this halfway house of a tablet is pleasing in the hand and enjoyable to use.

What is the Samsung ATIV Q?

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews and Spesifications. The Samsung ATIV Q is a new convertible tablet hybrid which, not content with being able to take on various forms, runs both Windows 8 and Android operating systems.
The Samsung ATIV Q runs the risk of feeling cluttered and clumsy, but Samsung promises the two distinct operating systems are individually hosted but provide strong, seamless file and data transitions work together well, quietly and behind the scenes.
Convertibles have been threatening to push a new forge in the tablet and notebook scenes for some time; can the Samsung ATIV Q finally win the battle for the hybrids? We go hands-on to see for ourselves.

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews - Design

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews and Spesifications. The Samsung ATIV Q’s design is all about the tablet’s many forms. It is a jack of many talents that can take on four different guises (‘tablet’, ‘typing’, ‘floating’ and ‘stand’), and, pleasingly, its master of at least a couple. While the ‘floating’ stance of the screen pointing up on a stork is of little use, the ‘typing’ position highlights the unit’s impressive keyboard.
The Samsung ATIV Q is 13.9mm thick and 1.29kg in weight. Although not slight by any stretch of the imagination, it's no heavier than rival ultrabooks that the ATIV Q is best compared against.

The Samsung ATIV Q’s rather smooth design is broken up by all manner of connection ports, including a single USB 3.0, a USB 2.0 connection, microHDMI and a microSD slot.
The Q’s design is functional more than attractive but, with time, we can see it growing on us and winning us over with its multiple forms and convertible options.

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews - Screen

The Samsung ATIV Q screen is a bit of a beaut. It is a 13.3-inch qHD offering which, thanks to a 3,200 x 1,800 pixel resolution and 275 pixels-per-inch image density, is both detailed and sharp.
The Q’s screen is vibrant and eye catching on first impressions, with colours proving expansive and with a pleasing level of subtlety. Brightness was impressive in the garishly artificial lighting of our hands-on environment, but will require further testing in a variety of conditions.
A screen to rival those on many ultrabooks, the Q’s display features strong viewing angles and its touch panel proved responsive and accurate during early tests.

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews - Performance

The Samsung ATIV Q is a powerful hybrid device. With an Intel Core i5 processor at its heart, the Q also features backing from Intel 4400 HD Graphics and 4GB of RAM.
Windows 8 makes a good foundation for the Samsung ATIV Q, with Android present to provide some much needed glamour. Sadly, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI is missing, leaving plain old Android to hold the fort. Keeping things running smoothly across the two platforms, Android apps can be pinned to the Windows 8 homescreen, creating seamless shortcuts between the two content levels.
The Samsung ATIV Q’s performance is further enhanced with SideSync compatibility, letting you use your smartphone as a second screen. This requires further testing before we are able to pass judgement.
With a 128GB SSD providing ample storage, the Samsung ATIV Q claims a 9 hour battery life. We were unable to test this claim during our hands-on and so will take a further look in our full ATIV Q review in the near future.

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews - First Impressions

Samsung ATIV Q Tablet Reviews and Spesifications. The Samsung ATIV Q is a mixed bag of tricks. Slightly too chunky to work as a designated tablet, the additional convertible options are a serious boon to its credentials. Similarly, while the need for both Android and Windows 8 OSs might not be felt by many, it helps separate the Q’s business and pleasure attributes. The Samsung ATIV Q is, in short, an interesting device which we are intrigued to spend more time with.

What is the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Review?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Review and Specifications. Samsung is infamous for making tablets and phones in just about every size. But the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is one that makes sense. With an 8-inch screen it’s the size of a large notepad, it comes with a stylus that turns it into a handy digital notepad and tablet in one. But does it do enough to justify its £350 price tag?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Review – Design

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Review and Specifications. One of the most-criticised elements of the top-end Galaxy devices, such as the Galaxy S4, is the 'plastic-fantastic' design. The Galaxy Note 8.0 is no exception thanks to its white plastic rear, and it doesn't feel fancy. Not at all.
The back is non-removable, so you have no access to the battery, and there is a tiny bit of give to some parts of the back panel. Part of the left side clicks disconcertingly when put under pressure, too. In other words, it has all the disadvantages of a unibody design, like the iPad mini or HTC One, without the sturdy, quality feel. Some might even say it feels 'toy-like'.
It's not all doom and gloom, however. One benefit is the cheerily curvy profile the plastic design allows, and at 338g and 8mm thick the Galaxy Note 8.0 is the kind of tablet you can hold comfortably in one hand without complaint.
Likewise, while the thick bezel is a departure from slimmer rivals, it makes the Galaxy Note 8.0 easier to hold - a useful thing considering the 'digital notepad' focus.

There's even space for stereo speakers, which are impressively loud even if the actual sound is a little forced and lacking fidelity.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Review – Screen

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has (yes, you guessed it) an 8-inch screen. It’s a PLS display, similar to the IPS kind used in Apple’s iPads, and most higher-end tablets.
If this was a cheaper tablet, the Galaxy Note 8.0's display would seem pretty good. Contrast, colour and top brightness are all commendable, with rich images that have none of that washed-out quality that afflicts lower-quality screens.
However, it’s still left seemingly distinctly last-gen because of one crucial aspect – resolution. It has a 1,280 x 800 pixel display, the same resolution seen in the smaller, much cheaper Google Nexus 7.

This means the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 pixel density is 189ppi. That’s much better than we put up with the first generations of iPads and Android tablets, but now that we’re used to seeing ultra-high resolution screens in tablets, it’s far too easy to notice the pixelated edges of characters.
This is a good screen, but it doesn’t feel like a current one – something that will become all the more apparent once Apple reveals the iPad mini 2 later this year.  Given the Galaxy Note 8.0 costs only slightly less than a full-size, retina iPad, which has a gorgeous screen, this is a big problem.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet Review – Software

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 runs a customised version of Android version 4.1.2, which is not the latest version of the OS and is about to become even more behind-the-times thanks to the upcoming release of Android Key Lime Pie.

The software differences are muted a little by the Samsung unifying TouchWiz interface that sits on top, though. This is a feature-rich custom skin, but is not the best-looking one around. Its colourful and cheery visual style can look a little cheap, which doesn’t help the Note 8.0’s claim as a serious device when the body feels a little toy-like too.
As this is an Android device, though, you’re free to customise the look of the system a fair bit, with widgets on the home screen, custom wallpapers and – taking it a step further – even third-party launcher apps that paste a new interface over TouchWiz.
TouchWiz does provide a few great features, too. Our favourite is Multi-Screen. This brings true multi-tasking to the Galaxy Note 8.0, letting you run two apps at the same time, on one screen. You simply drag the apps you want from a side-bar accessed (or hidden) by holding down on the 'back' soft key.

Other Samsung extras are of more questionable use – such as being able to take a screenshot by swiping the side of your palm from left to right on the screen, or pausing a media file by putting your whole palm on the screen. Some may like them, but they’re gimmicks – not a reason to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
