Narrow bezel makes it hard to hold without tapping touch screen

Slim, light, microSD slot for expansion, screen decent in many conditions, decent battery life, multi-window view is a cool idea
Plastic construction, screen res could be higher, too expensive compared to the competition
There's plenty of good to be had from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. But less so at this price point. It's pricier than the higher-resolution Nexus 7, and its plasticky construction just isn't as well made as the Apple iPad mini. And for once the App...
The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, is so middle of the road, that we can't really make our minds up about it.It has no real major flaws, with everything from camera to design and user interface being decent enough.Nothing stands out though, which makes it hard to reco...
Decent, bright screen, Multi-Window support, Good battery life
Cheap design with slippery back, Sluggish multi-tasking performance, Overpriced
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 tablet is a solid performer and has a decent screen, but it's overpriced for what you get. There are cheaper more impressive alternatives to spend your money on instead. It feels like Samsung isn't even trying here....
If you’ve read this far, you’ll have noticed that the overriding theme of this review is one of distinct average-ness. This device isn’t so nondescript per se that it’ll sink without trace, but it’s hard to see why anyone would opt for this over the likes...

Spending $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 reason: People like different...
Well, built, thin and light design, Android 4.2.2 on board, Excellent display, Acts as a universal remote
Relatively expensive, Finicky touchscreen
The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 gets so much right, from the thin and light design, through the multitasking to the built-in remote control features. However, it's amazingly forgettable. There's just something utterly bland about this tablet, and it just doesn't se...
Display has good viewing angles, Good battery life, Multi-window is handy, Slew of preloaded Samsung features
Build quality isn't the best, Too big to hold to your ear for calls
If you are in the market to pick up an 8-inch tablet, you have the iPad mini as a great option as well. But the mini doesn't have calling capabilities. You have other budget devices such as the Zync Quad 8 too available in the 8-inch form factor but the o...
At Rs. 25,725, the Samsung Tab 3 311 does not give you a bang for your buck. Its kind of steeply priced when compared with iPad Mini, Google Nexus or Amazon Kindle Fire. The camera is kind of a sour deal.All we would like to say is that you should weigh a...
Though the tablet impressed us with its performance and quality, we really were surprised to see no headset in the review unit box. However, some online retailers are offering headsets with the tablet, and sell it for around Rs 24,500-much less than the o...
The Galaxy Tab 3 311 is a perfect Android tablet for someone who is looking for sub-10-inch tablet with calling as it provides an excellent ergonomic design, a great screen, solid battery life and calling facility in one package. At Rs 25,500 it also is a...
