Abstract: My first Android tablet was an original Samsung Tab 7 inch device that served me well, but was a bit chunky by today's standards. I had the chance to test out the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for the past week and enjoyed both...

Looking for a decent mid-range Android tablet? Well, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch would be a good choice. It is light, portable, and capable enough to be used for not only web surfing and writing emails, but also for watching HD movies and even playing...
Abstract: Leave it to Samsung to conjure up new screen-sizes and in between screen sizes for its popular products. The inventors of the Phablet have once more managed to squeeze another option and price point between the frenzied 7-inch tablet market and the mor...

Before the introduction of the new Nexus 7, I'd have given the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 one of my highest recommendations, claiming that for $299 you're getting decent value for your money.Now, in the cold light of reality, I'd check that recommendation, or at le...

Abstract: Samsung's 8-inch Galaxy Tab 3 feels like a device designed to fight some very specific enemies in the form of the original Nexus 7 and iPad minis. Unfortunately for Samsung, those are competitors that have since retired from the field and been replaced by...
Performance issues, Plasticky design, Unjustified high price
In short, there are too many faults on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 to declare it the new gold standard in Android tablets. The lacklustre performance and plasticky build are the main offenders, but it's the lack of any standout reason to part with your c...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3's light, comfortable design, myriad useful features, and bright colorful screen makes the 8incher 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....

Gamers should pass on this oneSpending $300 on a gadget that will work fine for a while, but miss out on future features requiring more resources to run seems like a poor investment to me. But who knows? Android tablets are wildly varied and diverse for a...

Battery life, The occasional lag, Limited gaming capabilities, Mediocre cameras, Universal remote could use some work, Location of the speakers
The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is no landmark event on the tablet calendar, but it's an easy choice if you're looking for an Android slate to watch shows, browse the web and play the odd game on—for not too much money. It's a been-there-done-that kind of design, bu...

Slim build, Decent screen, Excellent battery life
Performance issues, Plasticky design, Unjustified high price
If you look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and add up all of these factors, it doesn't look good for the Samsung. Combine the high price, poor performance and below par build quality, and it's hard to find any reason to recommend this new Samsung Tab....
