This was bought to replace an old Lenovo tablet which was essentially too sluggish to cope with modern websites. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxz4qYZoyAOb_hq_UbaKI6AsZX0FnoFm-U This tablet is fast, has a very clear display with built in optional eye comfort shield, great sound with Dolby Atmos, split screen option and numerous tweaks that I've not yet explored. I've plugged a wireless receiver into the i/o socket to connect a mouse if I need it and a bluetooth keyboard works fine - unlike the Lenevo which somehow would often garble the input. Battery life seems good. In short I'm very pleased with it
Hearing the tablet boot up makes me feel so nostalgic. This was my first real gaming device and I played over 30 games in the 3 years I had it. Sadly the charger broke and I can't find any other charger since it's long outdated so I will never be able to boot it up. I played all the old games like fruit ninja, temple run, jetpack joyride, and every angry birds game until 2015
This really is the best review I found until now. The other reviewers kept on talking about the Ipad, which is really annoying when I just want to hear about the tad 2. This video really showed everything about the galaxy tab 2 I wanted to know. So thank you!!!
There is noticeable lag with this device. I've had it for almost 6 months, and I've rooted, overclocked, and installed Android 4.2. The overclock is stable to 1.4ghz, no more lag.
Well it makes sense for the thousands of us who enjoy Mike's well made, concise and informative videos. Maybe our appreciation is reward enough for him. To me there is something beautiful about someone doing something just for the love of it.
Just got this two days ago. Despite what I've seen in reviews, mine is running smooth and beautifully. Not to mention I got it for $189 after Christmas money and sales. :)
Ordered my today from Ebay, $63.95, free shipping, used, will only use for monitor on phantom 3 standard using DJI GO app. Will uninstall bloatware & unnecessary apps for faster speed.
I've been looking at buying one, especially with boxing day sales coming up, and this video really helped me decide. You were clear and concise, good review!
i remember getting it 3 years ago for my 12th birthday, even though it had an older android system, it was fun to use when i was bored, i even plugged it again to charge it up a while ago, bcs of nostalgia of using it 😅😅
Me and my sister have talked about giving our mom a tablet. At first I said an iPad (2 or Mini), but then this one was set at a discount at a store. My sister said, because our mom has an Samsung mobile, she should get a Samsung tablet! I was not too sure about it, but after viewing this, I have to say it should be this one we'll give her! I've never had an tablet, but to me, this one seem to be able to do so much and I think this one fits her most! Thanks a lot man! 83
I have this tablet and I definitely recommend it, it has a great resolution, it records Full HD Videos, it takes very good pictures and there is an upgrade available to Android 4.2.2
I unsubscribed because I thought you were an "apple fanboy" but now that I see that you do unboxing and excellent reviews on samsung products, I think Im going to resubscribe!!!! :)
what is the performance like on the tablet? Like do you experience any lag or slow down when web browsing, watching youtube videos or going on facebook and twitter? And gaming, whats that like on it?
I'm looking forward to buy a tablet for me, i'm gonna use it mostly to do projects,edit texts like with word,excel,powerpoint,internet researches, read ebooks, mostly for everything i'll have to do at the university.. I think this tablet is pretty cool by what you showed in this review and the price is alright. I need your advice about if i should i really buy it, i'm gonna only use it for my studies. Do i buy it or not?
thanks for the reply Mike! Another question if you don't mind: if you can choose between a iPad or a Android-based device: what should you choose and why? personally i love the retina display and the built quality of an iPad but i also love the versatility and user-interface of Android.
Mike if I have a pic in a folder synced from my computer to the iPad then edit it in the iPad photos folders then it saves only a copy of the original photo in its original state. The save of the edit such as 'enhance' only saves a setting allocation for the way the iPad or iOS lids plays that photo and nit doesn't actually change the pic. If you upload it to the net or sync it to your computer you will see that the edit is not in effect anymore. Again, it does not edit the picture but only ed
Hi. Depends on what you want! If you're looking for a big-screen tablet then go for this one. On the other hand if want to have it all the time with you, the 7,0'' is more suitable, because you can easly put it in your purse or in a larger pocket. But if you already have a smartphone with a big screen, say 4.0'', I would highly recommend the 10.1'' Galaxy Tab2. Good luck on your choise.
Awesome tablet! I have one of this tablet, and even once, it doesn't dissappoint me, though the camera has low but it's okay.. My games here doesn't lag, and this is way faster surfing the internet .. Love this!
Do you know if it came out recently? Because I don't want to buy it then 2-3 months later a new one comes out? I'm not sure what Samsung's release cycle. Thank You! :)
I have this. I like it. But it's kinda slow/laggy when you scrolling on SOME pages. I don't think that's because of ads tho... Camera is good at short ranges. RUclips application is pretty good on this tablet. But many applications think it's a mobile phone... So videos on facebook has pretty bad quality in fullscreen... I recommend this tablet alot. But if you don't like laggy tablets/phone at all. Then you should go for something else.
patrick.. its up to you...if you want a big screen with a nice interface and colours go for the tab2 but if you want imersive gaming an a more compact screen go for the nexus 7...keep in mind that the nexus has not camera and storage expansion..micro sd slot.....
Hi man, first of all thank you for everything I have some questions please: 1.Can you recommended for me stores? 2.What kinda accessories come for this ? 3.this is the latest version of this tablet? I have friend have I think the same as this and it call note? O.o ? can you tell me the difference .. Thank you in advance :D 3.
Look into how much it would cost for accidental 2yr coverage + an anti virus +a much needed CASE maybe a case with keyboard +maybe a screen protector+ charger for car &/or home charger. These can be up to 1/3 of you money. So look for an item that cost 2/3 of your limit. I just noticed the operating system on the Nexus seems the most powerful. depending on your use they all do not have the 10" model so make sure you are comparing 7" to 7"What R U using it 4? I need a 10" for the e-reading
My first device ever had. Unforgettable memories
I just got mine as a present. It's slow, but it works nice as a book reader.

5:02 that sound brought back a lot of memories
Ahmed Nazmy OMG YESS
Omg 😱😱 right
@@danill4381 Because of the Android 4.1 update. Also, Samsung was quite lazy to remove the shutdown sound, so they kept it.
I had an even older one with a different jingle so it's not quite as nostalgic
oh this was my childhood gadget when i was in elementary and watching this brings me back memories, the bestttt 💖
Same hahaah

Ive had this tableg for 3 months now and I love it !
I still have mine from 2012. But it's really laggy
wow. me too have ...but it works slow
Well I have the same problem
Samsung brings new updates to make your device become slow, not to fix bugs and problems.. so you can buy their newest phone
Does it work with any S-Pen?
@@EconomicHoverCraft123 they dont force your device to be slow, its called battery throttling and it happens with every phone

I really enjoyed coming back after all these years. When I was 14, more than anything in the world I wanted this el cheapo tablet more than life.

@@motorizedlifting2534 why the hell would you want one. I still have mine from 2012 and it is really slow and laggy.

@DetroitBORG Oh thanks for letting me know. I was curious. Keep it up with the great videos!
Best Christmas present ever!
This brings me back to my child hood memory😪😢
I just got this tablet working after i bought it from a fence (It was stolen and i bought it)
Good review. Would you purchase this thing to replace a laptop? I saw recently your video of the Google Chromebook by Samsung which you loved to use.
i have had this for along time and this video has showed me stuff i didn't even no about it
i love this guys review,great
Was literally talking to my friend about my childhood tablet and decided to find this on RUclips Ahh the memories
Very good review. Done like a professional...Good job.
This was my first tablet. Great Video.
Thanks for sharing, we all wanted to hear you tell us about your tablets. Come again some time.
i still have mine and i dont want a new one its been with me for a long time and we have history throwing it away would make me cry
@MEXICO FOR LIFE MINE DONT WORK EITHER
Buy a new device
Keep the tab with you
You will slowly stop using it altogether

Hey Mike I have a question: Does the voice commands ship with the stock android 4.0 or is it samsung related? Thanks!
what are u getting/did you get as a replacement? im looking to buy an android tablet soon. i dont want to regret my final decision!
fantastic review, thank you so much!!!
Great review! Thanks. Does Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" play Flash based movies and games well?
I got this as a bonus with my Galaxy S4 today....pretty damn nice. I'm actually typing this from the device lol
Do you have any plans to do a comparison between this and the iPad 2?
Thx for the review. Big fan!
awesome!

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is awesome! Definitely recommended! I'm posting this comment on the tab
already bought it few seconds ago thanks for your good review
I'm getting this for Christmas:D silly question: do you get a set of head phones with it?
Are you going to do an unboxing and review for the 7" version?
Do you buy all these, or do you get review models?

just ordered mine for £299 from amazon... cant wait!
It is not just about price, bigger doesn't always means better and there are a lot of people that prefer the smaller form factor.
Do u plan to use this more than your iPad or transformer prime?

well, cause i'm use to see you do reviews and unboxings of apple products. android reviews of you is just new to me :)
Great vid mike Watching this on my iPad 3rd gen and I swear I just heard it laugh at the Tab 2 lol :)
Can you be on RUclips and also use other apps? Or is it just a one app deal like the iPad?
oh you made me laugh!!! you should do reviews! wish i could find one locally.
