samsung galaxy The Tab 3 Lite is a new entry-level 7" tablet introduced in early 2014. The device combines the branded features of the Galaxy line with a low price. The device will be sold in the price range of less than $200. The tablet will have to withstand competition from two sides. On the one hand, cheap models of famous brands like , on the other hand, the whole variety of inexpensive Chinese tablets. Let's see what the new product from Samsung can offer the consumer.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is a fairly standard 7-inch tablet without a mobile phone module. Wi-Fi is the main way to connect to the Internet. On the market, the main arguments of the tablet will be a big name, a proprietary shell with the ability to place two applications on one screen, as well as performance. Chinese tablets in this price range can have more functionality due to the presence of 3G.
Design
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is made within the Galaxy line. We have a standard rectangular tablet with rounded corners. The front panel is glossy white. In general, it is not much different from smartphones and tablets of the Galaxy line of previous generations.
The back panel is a bit more interesting - it is made of leather textured plastic, but there is no soft touch. Good quality plastic. On the sidewall around the panel there is a small recess. It seems that the back cover is removable, but it is not. The sides are smooth - matte.
We got two identical tablets: one with lemon plastic on the sides and back side, and the second - with turquoise. The combination is unusual, but quite acceptable, fun. As befits inexpensive models, the user will have a choice - the color scheme will allow everyone to find an option to their liking.
In general, the design is a solid four. Galaxy is recognizable at first sight, nothing irritates the tablet, but there can be no enthusiasm here either.
Connectors and controls
Unlike most recent tablets on Android based, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite has hardware buttons.
First of all, it is the branded oval Home, which is typical for many devices of the Galaxy line. Also to the right and left of it are touch Menu and Back. Now, usually all the Android buttons in tablets are placed on the panel at the bottom of the screen and take up useful space. The solution in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite impresses us - it is more convenient to work with hardware buttons, and given that the display resolution is 1024x600 pixels, content will not be superfluous.
There are no more connectors or controls on the front panel: no speaker, no front camera.
On the right sidewall at the very top there is a button to turn on / off the screen and tablet. A little lower are the volume rockers. When you hold the tablet in one hand, both the button and the rocker are easy enough to get with your thumb. The movement of the buttons is good, pressing is fixed clearly.
On the left side is a slot for a microSD memory card. It is covered with a standard cap. Above is a short video on how to insert a microSD card into Galaxy Tab 3 Lite.
The top end carries microUSB connectors and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Connectors are conveniently placed. Nothing interferes with the connection of the cable or headphones.
There is a small microphone dot on the bottom end. Although there is no 3G module in the tablet, it will be possible to talk via Skype via Wi-Fi.
On the back side in the upper part is the camera, and to the left of it is a small speaker grille. No stereo.
Connectors and controls Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite are located quite conveniently. They are readily available. I would also like to point out good quality tablet build and materials that are pleasant to the touch.
A more complete picture of the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet will allow you to get a video review of it:
Screen
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite has a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The pixel density is 170 ppi. In general, the screen makes a normal impression - it is at a level typical for tablets in this price category. Colors seem to be good, although not without some unnaturalness, viewing angles are not the best. The glossy protective surface of the display glares. However, this is probably even for the best: the user sees everything that is shown on the screen well, but this is not at all necessary for neighbors on the subway train.
The touch surface of the tablet recognizes five touches - a normal indicator for devices of this price range.
The white brightness of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is 346.76 cd/m 2 , the black brightness is 0.54 cd/m 2 , the contrast ratio is 642:1. Not the best result. Although, however, for such a price is acceptable. The picture turns out to be quite contrasting and, in principle, you can count on the fact that in a relatively bright light it will be possible to distinguish the text, unless, of course, a glare surface interferes.
The color temperature graph of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is an odd sight. It turns out that at each level of brightness, the colors will be more or less cold, but at the maximum level it will be very close to natural. And if, in general, a chilly color scheme is typical for many Samsung products - it is no coincidence that blue and light blue colors predominate in branded shells - then it scares significant change temperature over the entire brightness range.
The color gamut of the tablet is noticeably less than the sRGB range, which cannot be called a good indicator. Cheap LCD matrix, there's nothing you can do about it.
The gamma curve deviates from the ideal noticeably, but not much. In general, the shades are displayed a little darker than expected by the standard.
In principle, the display of the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is not so bad, if you keep in mind the cost of the tablet. However, both subjective impressions and objective data do not allow us to call it good. A typical budget screen - Samsung clearly saved on it.
Camera
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is equipped with a single camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels. It allows you to take pictures at 1600x1200 and shoot VGA videos.
Despite the modest resolution, the tablet provides a lot of settings for the camera. In a couple of touches, you can select the shooting mode, set the self-timer value, apply effects, adjust the brightness and white balance.
A little more touches are required to activate geo-tags, select a scene, metering mode, resolution, image quality, adjust file names.
For video shooting, the same set of quick settings is offered: mode, timer, effects, white balance and brightness correction.
The quality of shooting for a 2-megapixel camera is not the worst, although the pictures lack clarity. In general, colors are transmitted acceptable. Photos look good on the tablet screen. 4x digital zoom results in a serious loss in quality.
The quality of the video recording is also on the level. The picture is not bad, but the tablet does not always have time to clearly work out a quick crop change. In addition, the resolution of 640x480 cannot be called large.
Characteristics
It makes sense to compare Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) with HP Slate 7. The tablets are presented by eminent companies, they are aimed at the same market segment, and have reduced functionality. But at the same time, we note that there is a model SM-T111, better known as the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 3G. We believe you have already guessed that it is distinguished by the presence of a 3G module. You have to pay about 2 thousand rubles for this.
In the rivalry of these two tablets, the quality of the processor and battery life will be decisive. HP does not name the chip model installed in the device. It is known that this is a 2-core processor based on ARM Cortex-A9 cores with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. Samsung says that the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite uses Marvell PXA986 based on the same ARM Cortex-A9, but with a lower frequency of 1.2 GHz. We can expect that the tablet of the Korean company will work a little slower, but a little longer.
The capacity of RAM and storage for the two tablets is the same: 1 and 8 GB, respectively. 1 GB is enough for acceptable operation of modern versions of Android.
Tablet screens are the same, including resolution, pixel density, and display technology.
The HP Slate has two cameras versus one on the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. Also, the resolution of the main HP camera is higher - 3 versus 2 megapixels. However, it should be noted that this does not particularly affect the quality of the images.
The Galaxy Tab 3 Lite has a GPS module. The tablet can be used for navigation. GPS also allows the use of augmented reality applications. Another benefit of the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is the more economical Bluetooth 4.0.
The battery at first glance seems to be quite capacious in the American and Korean tablet. Finally, the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is smaller and lighter than its competitor.
Testing
In general, you can expect the Samsung tablet to last longer, but lose out on the competitor in performance. Such a forecast can be made at least based on the frequency of processors.
In the overall standings Quadrant Benchmark HP Slate 7 squeezes the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite by about 25%. In all tests included in the package, HP is better, only in 3D graphics Samsung is ahead by a couple of points.
In Linpack, the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite shows about 25% less performance than the HP. In terms of “pure” computing power, the Samsung tablet is also not the best.
There is still some parity in the Rightware BrowserMark and SunSpider browser tests. In the first, a little faster than HP, in the second - Samsung.
Graphic tests bring HP Slate 7 to the first place. In one case, it has a twofold advantage, and in the other, it is 60% faster.
In general, as expected, the HP Slate 7 is about 25-30% more productive than the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite, which fully corresponds to the difference in processor frequencies, and the Vivante GC100 video card in the Samsung device is quite weak.
Let's see what's up with autonomy.
This is where the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite takes the lead. We simulate a moderate daily load of the average user and measure the remaining battery after that. At samsung tablet just an excellent result - as much as 78%. We can safely say that with an average load, the device can last 2-3 days without recharging.
Games on Galaxy Tab 3 Lite
After the results of previous tests, you should not expect the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite to handle games easily and naturally. Here are our ratings.
- Riptide GP2: good, works fast, but sometimes the picture is not smooth
- Dead Trigger: good, works fast, but sometimes the picture is not smooth
- Dead Trigger 2: Satisfactory, playable, but sometimes slows down
- Shadowgun: Dead Zone: good, works fast, but sometimes the picture is not smooth
- Frontline Commando: Normandy: satisfactory, playable but sometimes slow
- Eternity Warriors 2: Satisfactory, playable, but sometimes slows down
- Eternity Warriors 3: Satisfactory, playable, but sometimes slows down
- Minecraft: great, no slowdowns, everything flies
- Trial Xtreme 3: great, no slowdowns, everything flies
- Dead Effect: good, works fast, but sometimes the picture becomes choppy
- Plants vs Zombies 2: great, no slowdowns, everything flies
This is not to say that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is not designed for gaming. Far from it, two-dimensional casual games work well on it, but still, the device should be considered more as a means for surfing and communication, work, than a game console. Here, obviously, the whole point is in a weak video card, which turned out to be far from the best in graphic tests.
Software
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite runs under Android control 4.2.2. This operating system is quite well studied. Here it is equipped with a proprietary shell Samsung TouchWiz.
Among its functions, it should be noted "Multiple Windows" or MultiWindow, first implemented on Galaxy Note II. It is activated on the "Display" tab in the tablet settings. After activating it, a tab appears on the left side of the screen, pulling which you can call up something like a taskbar with running applications. By dragging them to the screen, you can open two applications on the same screen.
The first will be located at the top of the display, the second - at the bottom. You can work in two applications at the same time. In this case, the virtual keyboard can be dragged around the display. Thus, you can manually transfer data from a slide to notes or email. I am very pleased that now such functions are transferred to budget devices.
The tablet, of course, is equipped with proprietary pre-installed software from Samsung. You can name notes, S Planner, system voice control S Voice.
The Flipboard news collector has also been installed, and the Play functionality has been expanded to include books and print publications.
Samsung Link allows you to share and play content on other devices.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite comes with a version of Polaris Office. The office suite allows you to work with Word documents, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as create and edit text files. User friendly interface, a large number of templates. Nice addition for any tablet user.
The rest of the tablet software is no different from other Samsung devices. There are no special features here - only the transfer of advanced features from older models.
Conclusion
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite - Enough good tablet for its price. It is not without flaws, but under certain conditions they can be considered as advantages. For example, not the best viewing angles of the display will protect you from overly prying eyes in the subway.
The performance of the tablet is enough for most tasks, but it is far from the highest. This is especially true for games - a weak video card does not contribute to the launch of heavy 3D toys. They slow down every now and then, which is why the comfort of the game is not the highest. But the battery life is excellent.
Someone will not like the lack of a front camera - a video call via Skype will no longer be so convenient. The rear one has a very small resolution of 2 MP by modern standards, and the video generally captures no more than 0.3 MP. Although in general, for a device of this class, the image quality is acceptable.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is the case when the device does not cause great enthusiasm, but deserves a recommendation for purchase. Of course, we would rather have opted for a model with 3G, but it costs a little more.
Price
Buy Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite can be priced at about 6,000 rubles. True, there are some stores that ask for more than 8000 for it. But let's assume that Samsung managed to keep the price on the market that they called during the announcement - 6000 rubles.
The range of prices for HP Slate 7 on the Internet is amazing - from 3500 to 10500 rubles, but most of the offers are in the range of 5200-6000 rubles. And this price should be considered the most realistic for an HP product. Thus, the tablets cost almost the same, and we all talked about their differences above.
But ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 ME173X is already an interesting offer. The ASUS brand is trustworthy. The average price of the model is 5500 rubles. In this case, the user can count on an IPS-screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels, a 5-megapixel camera, 16 GB of internal memory and a 4-core processor.
Explay sQuad 7.82 3G is not exactly a classmate of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. This is a clone of the Apple iPad mini, but here, in addition to the 4-core chip, we also get a 3G module. Its average price is 6790 rubles.
Another option is Dell Venue 7. Its average price is also about 6000 rubles. This novelty from the American company has an IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800, a 3-megapixel camera, and 2 GB of RAM. The battery capacity is 4100 mAh, but here you need to consider that the Dell Venue 7 device is based on Intel Atom.
Pros:
- low price for Samsung tablets;
- famous brand;
- good design and ergonomics;
- proprietary shell with advanced features;
- long battery life.
Minuses:
- very mediocre display;
- relatively low performance, especially in games;
- low-resolution 2 MP camera and 0.3 MP for video;
- no front camera.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is the junior version Galaxy tablet Tab 3 7.0. It seems that the Korean manufacturer did not think long about the name of the new model. Let's find out how the "younger" tablet model differs from its older, but still 7-inch, brother. Today we have a review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet.
Design
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite measures 116.4 x 193.4 x 9.7mm. In this way, new tablet slightly longer and wider than its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. Moreover, it is slightly thinner - 9.7 mm. Another attractive side of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is its weight, which is only 310 grams.
Samsung adheres to the design with a thin frame around the screen for all devices in the tablet line. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is no exception.
Below the screen are the familiar three buttons – a physical home button and two capacitive back and menu buttons.
One of the main Samsung differences Galaxy Tab 3 Lite from the previous model is the lack of a front camera, which is rather strange. At the same time, the main camera has a resolution of 2 megapixels.
The volume and power buttons are located on the right side of the tablet. On the left panel is a slot for memory cards MicroSD.
At the bottom of the device is equipped with a microphone, and on the top panel we found a microUSB port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
On the back panel there is a speaker, a camera lens and the Samsung logo.
Instead of soft leather on the back, the tablet uses a nice textured finish. The tablet has rounded sides so that the user can comfortably hold the device in one hand.
We would have preferred a thinner bezel around the display and artificial leather on the back, however, this is not a big drawback. After all, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is an entry-level tablet, so don't expect too much from it.
Display
The display of Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite uses the lowest resolution among modern tablets - 1024x600 pixels. But given that you're holding the tablet at arm's length, that's not too bad.
While reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet, we found that the display of this model is one of the worst in the Galaxy Tab line. Black color is the best at 50% brightness, while at more high levels it deteriorates rapidly. Brightness is good, but contrast is disappointing.
Battery life
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 does not have voice call support, so we tested battery life while browsing the web and playing videos.
The tablet is powered by a 3,600mAh battery, which should be plenty considering the modest internal hardware.
In our review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet, it lasted 8 hours and 20 minutes while browsing the web. While playing video, the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite was 9 hours.
Pretty good results for a budget tablet meant for everyday use.
Camera
As we have already said, the main samsung camera Galaxy Tab 3 Lite has a resolution of 2 MP. The photo resolution is 1600 x 1200 pixels.
The interface of the camera application is very simple - a virtual shutter button, icons for exposure, effects, settings, etc. and switch to video mode.
The tablet offers a small number of manual camera settings, such as ISO, white balance, and exposure compensation. You can also use color effects.
Photo examples
Software
Tablet running on operating room Android system Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz user interface. The features and functions of TouchWiz are similar to what we saw in the previous model Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.
Performance
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 processor developed by Vivante Corporation. The GC1000 chipset has its own GPU.
Performance The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is supported by 1GB of RAM.
Connections
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is equipped with a complete set of basic connectivity. Since a Wi-Fi tablet model came to us for review, therefore it does not have a GSM / 3G connection. The tablet has Bluetooth 4.0 support.
The AllShare DLNA feature, which is often used as a standalone application, has been tightly integrated into a dedicated samsung app. Another convenient way share content between devices offers Samsung Link. You can connect your tablet to a computer that syncs with Dropbox, SkyDrive, or SugarSync and remotely access content on that device.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite does not have an infrared port, so you cannot use the tablet as a TV remote control.
Summarizing
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tries to look as simple as possible by today's standards. Samsung expects good demand for the tablet from some emerging markets, however, we must emphasize that this is the weakest model in the Korean company's line of tablets.
In fact, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is not a bad tablet. It's portable, high quality, and has good battery life. In addition, it is the cheapest among Samsung's latest generation devices.
Competitors
Lenovo IdeaTab A3000 comes with 3G connectivity and is much cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. The tablet from Lenovo fits the “junior” class more than anyone else: screen size and resolution, Android version, battery, good camera, USB OTG support and a more powerful processor due to the extra thickness and weight.
ASUS Nexus 7 costs less, while it has a better screen, a more powerful processor, and a "clean" user interface from Google.
And finally ASUS MemoPad HD7 costs the same as a Samsung tablet, but has a higher screen resolution, faster processor, and a high-resolution camera.
HP also offers a wide range of inexpensive tablets, which surpass the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite.
All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is up for an uphill battle in a crowded market.
This is our review of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet.
