Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Review
Samsung recognizes that the way in which individuals use tablets varies considerably from one user to the next. As a result, Samsung’s tablet portfolio is quite varied, offering something for everyone. Samsung’s tablet portfolio includes models that range in size from 7-inch to 10.1-inch screens. The power and performance associated with the various Samsung Galaxy tablets also varies and includes high-end powerful tablets and models that are more basic and budget-friendly.
Today, we’re going to take a hands-on look at the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. This tablet sits in the middle of the Galaxy Tab 3 portfolio between the 7-inch and 10.1-inch models. The Galaxy Tab 3 series is Samsung’s mid-range line of tablets. As a result you won’t get the fastest, cutting-edge processors and other high-end specifications, but you won’t get the high price tag either. Even so, if you take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 specifications below, you’ll see it’s still a very capable device.

For users who already have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, the Galaxy Tab 3 will seem very familiar, both in terms of exterior styling and user experience. This is especially great for people who don’t want to deal with the learning curve of a new device, which is exactly who Samsung is targeting with this line of tablets.
To add additional value to the Galaxy Tab 3 line, Samsung is offering a number of Galaxy Perks along with the Galaxy Tab 3. These perks include $10 in Google Play credit, up to 50GB of Dropbox storage for two years, a free 3-month Hulu Plus membership (for new users only), and 12 months of Boingo Wi-Fi access for new users.
