Good battery life ; Solid case and stand ; Kids Mode ; Decent parental controls

Tatty selection of freemium apps ; Low-res screen ; Slow performance ; Poor camera ; Too expensive

With hardware that was slow enough when we reviewed the standard Galaxy Tab 3 a few months ago, all you're really paying the premium price for here is the case and the Kids Mode interface.

Solidly built ; Light, easy to handle ; Intuitive UI ; MicroSD slot

Dated design ; Poor value ; Mediocre performance ; Screen not up to scratch

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is a deeply unremarkable tablet with underwhelming performance and a low-res display that remains ostensibly unchanged since the launch of the original Galaxy Tab. It's a deeply average tablet that's been way over-priced by...

This is one of the better kids’ Android tablets we’ve seen but with a street price of £150, it’s not cheap. Yes, you get Android Jelly Bean and access to Google Play, but the sluggish performance and poor cameras combine with the missing user profiles...

The ; features a lightweight and compact design for a 10-inch tablet. Its screen is impressively bright, and a 64GB storage expansion option is always an appreciated extra.

The "hit-box" for the capacitive menu and back buttons is too large, and errant touches are common. Performance is slow when quickly switching apps and Wi-Fi speeds dramatically decrease the farther away from the router the tablet is. And $400 for a...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 is a sleekly designed tablet but, with more powerful and cheaper options available, it feels like more of the same, rather than an upgrade.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3's light, comfortable design, myriad useful features, and bright colorful screen makes the 8-incher one of the best small tablets on the market.

A price of $300 is a lot for any small tablet, and some features like Smart Stay and Watch On’s search don’t work as well as intended.

It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung’s best non-Note tablet yet.

Good performance for a dual-core tablet; Supports 4G LTE; Decently priced

Possible incompatibility issues with old apps; Plastic feel; Sub-par camera

Excellent, well thought out kids UI ; Parental controls add flexibility ; Good range of kids apps available

A little expensive ; Excellent Kid Grip Cover costs extra ; No multi-user profiles in Kids Mode

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is an Android tablet specifically designed for children. The colourful, well designed device is a little expensive and is best utilised with an additional cost accessory, but its kids user mode is a concept that hits the...

Lightweight, easy to hold ; Built-in IR blaster useful for TV viewing

Poor display for the price ; Cheap construction, unappealing design ; Uneven performance ; Big drop in battery life from the previous-gen model

The refreshed Galaxy Tab 10.1 is stuck in the past. Its specs, mostly unchanged from last year's model, make this a forgettable product. At this price, you're better off looking elsewhere.

10.1" 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of 800 x 1280 pixel resolution ; Android OS v4.2.2 with TouchWiz 5.0 launcher ; 1.6 GHz dual-core Atom CPU, PowerVR SXG544MP2 GPU, 1GB of RAM, Intel Atom Z2560 chipset ; 3.15 MP wide-angle lens camera with...

Many competitors (including the droids) already offer Full HD screens ; 1GB of RAM tends to run out quickly ; No FM Radio or NFC support ; Questionable still image and video recording quality ; Hardware Home button and capacitive Android keys make...

Like many of Samsung's midrange offerings, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 is a mixed bag of features. On the one hand, you get the large display and slim design, the great codec support, and rich connectivity features which include an IR-port, while on...

Can function as universal remote control. Runs Android 4.2.2. Bright display with good viewing angle. Relatively lightweight.

Some performance issues. Missing compelling TouchWiz features. Overpriced. Short battery life.

Multimedia and Conclusions Like most of its Galaxy stablemates, the Tab 3 10.1 features robust multimedia support and a built-in IR-emitter for controlling an array of home entertainment devices. For video, you get MP4, H.264, DivX, Xvid, and WMV files...
