Preliminary review of the new Samsung MWC-2011: Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab II

Samsung didn’t bother with trifles and rolled out heavy artillery for the Sunday event: an updated version of its Galaxy S II super smartphone - and the new ten-inch Android tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1 (however, the Galaxy Tab II was already called it by the people). The four of the mini-smartphones (Ace, Fit, Gio and mini) announced a few weeks ago were highlighted at the presentation, but nobody paid special attention to them - everyone crowded around the stands with super gadgets.




The first, seven-inch Galaxy Tab, announced in September at the IFA, I honestly did not understand. First of all, it looked like a very, very bloated smartphone, and not at all on a tablet. Secondly, Android version 2.x is not at all suitable for tablets. New Tab - is another matter. Ten inches - there is where to turn. Plus - “sharpened” specifically for Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets. Well, the filling is appropriate: 1080p video gadget reproduces without problems (the tablet, of course, "dual-core"). Encouraging and battery capacity - 6860 mAh, for the day of work "to the fullest" should be enough.

And the new interface Android 3.0 - pure delight. The menu logic is unusual and quite different from the “smartphone” version, but I personally had 10 minutes to figure everything out. Beautiful, smooth, comfortable. Is someone else doing Android 2.x tablets?

The new Tab is an incredibly cool thing, but the question “how much will it cost?” Is still open. From the price tag that Samsung had charged to its previous one, many had their eyes on the tablet on their foreheads. Tab 10.1 is unlikely to be asked for less.









Well, about the Galaxy S II, to speak, oddly enough, and nothing special. Samsung’s next-best Android smartphone, this time a dual-core one. The case is even thinner (by the way, the manufacturers of smartphones, declaring the next “thinnest”, are measured by not even tenths, but hundredths of millimeters). The screen is even better (Super AMOLED Plus - even sounds impressive). From the software chips I liked the “hubs” very much: Social (messages from instant messengers and social networks), Music (access to a huge music collection), Game (games - everything seems to be understandable) and Reader's Hub (very similar to iBook: a service for reading books and magazines). By the way, about the games - those that were pre-installed in the Galaxy S II samples at the presentation - looked no worse than those presented with the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY.
