Abstract: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, the third iteration to this series of large screen Android devices which was started in the year 2010 with the 7-inch version has today reached up to 11-12 inches. Talking about tablets as a general...
Keeping in mind that Samsung didn't design the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 to be a flagship, ultra-powerful device, we feel this tablet performed adequately for its intended use. With that said, there's one key aspect of the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 that holds us back and t...

Editor's Note: The awarding of Mashable Choice to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 applies only to the 8-inch model.If Samsung's aim was to supply cheaper alternatives to Apple's iPad and iPad mini as a way of gaining elusive tablet market share, it succeeded wit...
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 has a number of pros and cons when compared to the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. On one hand, it isn't as powerful, its display isn't as nice and its speakers offer an overall tinny audio experience. On the other hand, the hardware and s...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 lacks some of the abilities of the company's other 8-inch tablet, the Galaxy Note 8.0 (no multitasking screens, no stylus), but it comes in at a lower price with a narrower design and better battery life. ...
So what is this new Galaxy Tab all about? It seems somewhat divorced from the rest of the Android ecosystem. Frankly, it almost doesn't make sense to have this device reviewed on an Android blog. Samsung isn’t competing with other Android tablets. Sams...

The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 exists to simply fill a niche. As of the time of this writing, Best Buy is selling this particular tablet for $299.99. Compare that to the Galaxy Note 8.0's $399.99 price tag, then you see that the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is simply meant to ...
