I'm loving the 8.9-inch screen. It really feels like they've hit the sweet-spot
Size-wise. It's big enough that watching movies and playing games looks good
But it's small and light enough that it's super portable. I can fit it in my jacket pocket and w

The editors didn't like
Sluggish performance
Kinda expensive
No expandable storage
$50 less than the 10.1
LTE version is bundled with contract
The one thing that seems to have suffered for this size reduction is the audio. The speakers weren't great on the 10.1
But they sound even tinnier on the 8.9
Which is too bad. It employs the same rear camera as the 10.1 which isn't great. That said

Expensive
Lackluster cameras
Design
The Tab 8.9 is nearly identical to the larger version
Coming in at the same width (0.34 inches) but with a smaller 9.1 x 6.2-inch footprint. It still only has one connection port
The proprietary one on the bottom
Keyboard can feet cramped
Though it's fast and responsive
Camera is a step down in many ways from the Tab 10.1
App selection still lags the iPad
Not running Android 3.2
A bit too pricey
Tablet app selection in the Android marketplace is still limited
No social ports like USB or an SD card reader
No 3G/ 4G option.
Minimally cheaper than 10.11GHz chip soon to be outclassed
A bit pricey
No SD card slot
Android tablets are still short on tablet-specific apps
No HDMI out
No schedule for Android 3
2 upgrade
Like the Tab 10.1
Fewer ports and slots than most Android tablets
Lik
UI inconsistencies
Lack of apps
Subpar speakers
No useful inputs/ports
Less expensive than an iPad
But still too pricey
Still expensive
The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves the Tab 8.9 feeling less solid than the iPad 2

Very thin, light, Gorgeous display, Lots of useful apps
No HDMI port or card reader, Clumsy reliance on storage adapters
This slim, light Android tablet has a beautiful 8.9-inch display, and it's very comfortable to hold and use. Just mind Samsung's few crucial omissions in the name of thinness. ...
Brilliant and colorful display, Razor thin profile construction, Good battery life
Sluggish performance, Kinda expensive
If you find the original 7” Samsung GALAXY Tab too small and the GALAXY Tab 10.1 too big for you to handle, then it’s a no-brainer conclusion that the GALAXY Tab 8.9 offers that tangible solution in bridging the gap. Although it’s almost hard to not l...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is everything we loved about the Tab 10.1 in a slightly smaller form, with a slightly smaller price.
