1. Lacking ports for accessories.
2. Proprietary Samsung connector requires shelling out more money.

Design:
Samsung really did a number with this one. The new series of Galaxy Tabs are absolutely stunning in design. When holding the 10.1 for the first time, it almost feels unreal as to how light the final product turned out while packing all the power that’s built into the Galaxy Tab. It weighs in at 1.25 lbs which is even lighter than iPad 2 at 1.33 lbs. Carrying the device around is very easy and presents no problem at all. The downside is that if not handled properly, could easily be dropped and possible break the Tab. The 10.1 is also thinner than the iPad 2 by merely 0.01 inches. It might not seem like a lot, but Apple has always had the upper-hand in physical design from a portability standpoint.

The screen’s resolution is amazing. Pictures were viewed crystal clear and videos looked astonishing. If you’re into entertainment (YouTube, videos, movies, gaming) this screen is a blessing. My only gripe was that the screen isn’t as view-able in direct sunlight as I hoped it to be. Nevertheless, yet again Tab vs iPad 2, the Tab is winning 3 to 0 with a higher resolution screen. Imagine full 1080p HD playback that can fit in your hands.

The proprietary Samsung connector at the bottom was another surprise I hadn’t expected. I felt, in all opinion, that this was a way for Samsung to continue gaining residual income by providing exclusive accessories that are not compatible with over devices. They released a few new accessories recently including the keyboard dock, HDTV adapter, multimedia dock, and (in my opinion their savior) the USB adapter. The adapter will allow you to connect all types of devices such as keyboards, mice, thumb drives, and more.

Features:
Most of the gadgets youd expect in this clever device:
* Bluetooth 3.0
* Wifi a/b/g/n support, dual-band
* GPS Support (A-GPS)
* Sensors galore! (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Ambient light sensor)
* Full Adobe Flash support
* 1GHZ dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor
* 3.5mm stereo headphone jack

The Tab also features two cameras, one 3 megapixel camera on the rear and a 2 megapixel on the front. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed with the camera quality on this device. I expected more from such a high-end device that Samsung has spent the money to market the Tab as. If you’re a photography enthusiast, don’t count on the Tab as a formidable replacement. If you are into taking quick pictures, this may do the trick for you. Video calls using the front-facing camera were crisp and easy to view on the receiving end.

The Touchwiz UI gives a nice touch to the interface while still keeping the true Honeycomb experience alive. Android manufacturers have been known to twist the experience to their liking in the past. Thankfully, I didn’t feel that Samsung was as invasive in the overall day-to-day usage of the Tab. This was comforting considering I could pick up another Honeycomb tablet and still, for the most part, receive the same UI experience I received on the Tab. Small successes like this help begin the reduction of fragmentation that has well plagued the Android eco-system.

One of the best features of Honeycomb is the Gmail experience. Gmail on Honeycomb is how it should have been on Android all along. The visual display of labels, emails, and folders is designed for your maximum viewing pleasure. No other app on the market!

Samsung Apps:
As part of the Samsung experience, the newest line of Galaxy Tab’s feature a few new apps:

Readers Hub: Access to books, magazines, and publications right at your fingertips.
Music Hub: Explore your music or become introduced to new music through the app
Social Hub: Remember the Blackberry experience combining email and text messaging into one? Samsung takes it one step further with adding social networking into one easy-to-use portal
I didn’t get a chance to use these apps due to the version of the 10.1 Tab that was given for review, however, as part of the Touchwiz experience I expect it to be elegant and seamless with the interface of the Tab.

Performance and Battery Life:
The battery (un-removable) packed under the sleek and stylish case is expected to last 9 hours watching HD video and 72 hours of music. Personally, I went the entire week with the Tab only charging it twice with moderate use (some gaming, web browsing, and app testing). That’s pretty impressive. It’s necessary for folks who aren’t near a charger for the majority of the day. Travel folks, on-the-go business professionals, educators…this battery makes the cut.

The power of the dual-core certainly shows when using particularly high-quality apps, viewing Flash-packed websites, and multi-tasking without a flinch.

Even though the Samsung Galaxy S3 is getting to be an ‘older’ device when you consider the rate at which new devices are being pumped out of the smartphone and tablet mill, this phone still tops the charts and is one of our users favorites, coming even before the Galaxy S4. Today we are presenting you with some cool, perhaps borderline gimmicky, but nonetheless interesting and often forgotten features found in your Galaxy S3 that you might not have know about.

Record and store from FM tuner

Granted, listening to the radio isn’t so popular anymore considering you can get music streaming from Spotify or Stereomood among the many other services, but radio has less of a draining impact on your battery not to mention doesn’t use your mobile data. If you don’t have a ton of songs already saved onto your phone, radio is a good option and it won’t use up so much of your internal storage either. You can also record FM radio and store it onto your internal memory and if so desired, archive it on your computer.

Blocking Mode

The worst is getting notifications in the middle of the night when you are just trying to get a decent night’s sleep. The Galaxy S3 has a Blocking Mode that you can switch on or off in the settings of your phone under the Device subcategory. By tapping on ‘Blocking mode’ you will be able to customize what you would like to block, whether it is incoming calls, notifications, alarms, timers or LED indicators, either for all the time or a specific period of time. You can, however, ensure that emergency calls get through to you at any point in time by choosing ‘allowed contacts’.

Face Unlock

Though this isn’t the most secure way to lock your smartphone, it could be used in addition to the swipe or PIN if you so wish and setting it up is easy to do. Under Settings, you will need to go into ‘Lock screen’ and choose ‘Screen lock’. Tapping on this will prompt you to confirm with your current screen lock choice and then give you a list of various ways of unlocking your phone as well as indicating which ones are the most safe. By going through the steps as directed and holding the device at eye level to fit your head within the form on screen, you can set it up so that your Galaxy S3 will recognize you. It might mistake a similar looking person however, so if you are worried about your content, you might want to stick with another, more secure locking method.

Easy Mode for your home screen

If you are buying a Samsung Galaxy S3 for the first time, and are a beginner user, it might be a good idea to switch the user interface mode for your home screen to easy. What this will do is give you bigger, blockier icons on your home screen in order to make your apps and the other functions more visible. To get into this ‘Easy mode’, go into the settings of your phone and under the subcategory ‘Device’, choose ‘Home Screen mode’ and choose which mode you would prefer, and finally, apply. Once you feel more comfortable, you can always switch it back with the same steps.

Edit videos in Video Player

If you’ve shot a video and want to trim it down a little bit, you can do this right from the video editor, without the use of an external app from the Google Play Store. When a video is playing, tap on the menu button and choose trim. You can then choose which parts to trim out and which to keep.

Video overlay

Multitasking with the Galaxy S3 can be done in many different ways, like with Multi Window for example. Another way is having a video from Video Player play in a small window over the top of your home screen, or while browsing the web, texting with friends and so on. The way to do this is to go into the video that you would like to view, then select the icon on the bottom right corner. This will launch the video on the home screen where you can start doing something else simultaneously. Tapping on the video will bring up the ‘X’ to close it.

Remote wipe your phone with remote control

The Galaxy S3 is really loved, as mentioned in the intro, which may lead to more people wanting to steal it unfortunately. In order to locate the device as well as make sure that no one gets your private and personal information, you can perform a complete wipe of your phone’s data remotely. You need to have preemptively signed up for your Samsung account and set up a password, which you can do from your phone when you are initially setting it up. If your phone gets stolen or misplaced, sign on to the Samsung website www.samsungdive.com and here you will be able to locate your mobile phone, lock it, make it ring, forward messages or calls, see call logs, wipe your mobile as well as unlock your screen (the last one is handy if you have forgotten your own lock screen password). You can find the current location of your lost device and track its movement over 15 minute intervals for 12 hours, though this could cost you.

Thanks to your Samsung account, you will be able to locate your lost or stolen device and erase its contents. © AndroidPIT

Jelly Bean Surprise!

This isn’t a real feature, just something shiny and pretty to do once. Simply go into the settings of your phone, and find ‘About device’ right at the bottom of the list. In ‘About Device’ tap several times on the Android version to launch an animation of the large smiling jelly bean. Long pressing on the JB will cause it to explode, causing a whole jumble of jelly beans to erupt onto the screen which you can flick around. It’s a one-time gimmick to ‘impress’ your friends.

Galaxy S4 apps, how do I uninstall thee? Let me count the ways.
Android is an app-driven platform. Everything that you can do on your Galaxy S4 you can achieve by running apps. Some apps (especially system apps) come with your phone straight from the factory, others you install from sources such as the Google Play Store. There’s not much that you can do to remove preinstalled system apps, but — just in case you haven’t gotten round to actually doing it first time — you can actually uninstall user apps and recover storage space.
If you think that the only way to uninstall apps on the Galaxy S4 is through the Google Play Store app, then this article holds a few surprises for you. In this article, you’ll learn how to uninstall apps on the Galaxy S4. There are actually several ways to do it.

Using Google Play Store app

This, of course, is a no-brainer. But, for completeness, let me just include this here. While you can argue that the Uninstall button is hard to miss on a freshly installed app’s page in the Google Play Store app, some people do have the innate ability to overlook that button.
Although not the one and only source, the Google Play Store is the default primary source of apps for most Android users. Its accompanying app allows you to discover and install new apps or remove and uninstall old ones.
App uninstallation via the Play Store app takes only a few steps:

1. open Play Store app,
2. tap on Menu,
3. select My Apps,
4. tap on name of app to be removed, and
5. tap the Uninstall button.

Yup — that easy. Doesn’t take a genius, really.
Take note, however, that if you manually install apps through some other way besides the Play Store, those apps sometimes do not appear on the list in the Play Store app. Such apps can be uninstalled through other means.

Using Application Manager

Besides the Play Store app, Android’s built-in Application Manager can also be used to uninstall apps. Just open the Settings app, tap on the More tab, and select Application Manager.
In Application Manager, you should be able to see a list of your installed apps, organized into four tabs:

• Downloaded — Lists all apps that you downloaded to your phone
• On SD Card — Lists all apps that are installed in your phone’s storage
• Running — Lists all apps that are active or are running in the background
• All — Lists all apps, regardless of source or installation location

To remove an app using the Application Manager, just tap the app’s name on the list to open the app’s info page, then tap the Uninstall button. It’s that easy. You may want to tap the Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons first before hitting Uninstall.

Using TouchWiz UI

App Drawer Edit Mode

If, for some reason, you find the Play Store or Application Manager method a bit long-winded for your app uninstallation pursuits, seek refuge in TouchWiz.
The Samsung TouchWiz interface for the Galaxy S4 comes with a UI-based method for easily uninstalling an app. You can do it in just four steps:

1. Open the App Drawer.
2. Tap Menu.
3. Tap Edit.
4. Hold down and drag the app’s icon to the Uninstall icon at the top-right.

The foregoing method also lets you remove apps that you manually installed.

Alternate UI method

An alternate method for easily uninstalling apps from the App Drawer is as follows:

1. Open the App Drawer.
2. Tap Menu.
3. Tap Uninstall.
4. You’ll see red bars overlayed on the icons of apps that you can uninstall. Just tap on the red bar to uninstall the app.

The foregoing method also lets you remove apps that you manually installed.

Using an app manager app

Yet another way to remove an app from your Galaxy S4 is through the use of app managers, task managers, or file manager / explorer apps. There are several of such apps on the Google Play Store.
ES File Explorer, for example, has an App Manager component that lets you uninstall, backup, share, or send apps. Most remote device management apps such as AirDroid also have app uninstallation features.

Using ADB

If you’re into command-line interaction with your Galaxy S4, then you’ll probably want to learn some uninstallation tricks using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). For this method to work, you’ll need a working ADB setup on your computer. Also, ADB must be able to recognize your Galaxy S4 when you run the command adb devices at a terminal.
To uninstall an app via ADB, you must know the app’s package name (which is not necessarily the app’s APK file name). If you don’t know the app’s package name, you can quickly summon a list of the names of installed packages on your phone with the following command:
adb shell pm list packages
Here’s an example output of the command above:

Each package name listed is prefixed with package:, but you should be able to easily spot your app’s package name from the list. According to the list, the package name for the Mozilla Firefox app, for example, is org.mozilla.firefox. Once you’ve identified the app’s package name, simply issue the following command:
adb uninstall packagename
where packagename is the app’s package name. So, to uninstall Mozilla Firefox, for example, you’d use the following command:
adb uninstall org.mozilla.firefox
