Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Review

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

As you will probably know by now, this is the only device on our list that doesn’t have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board. It’s also the only device that isn’t packing a Tegra 3 quad core processor either. Does that mean it’s not one of the best tablets of the year? Absolutely not. As the first and only tablet on the market with a Super AMOLED Plus display, it’s packing the same technology we all know and love. With its super svelte 7.89mm thin profile and 7.7 inch 1280×800 AMOLED display, it sits marvelously in the hand and is one of the lightest tablets I’ve ever held.

 

It’s no secret that i’m a sucker for Super AMOLED displays, and personally I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Ice Cream Sandwich will come for sure, too, and with Verizon’s lightning quick 4G LTE network connectivity built right in, it’s going to be blazing fast. Furthermore, the device itself is able to play video for up to 10 hours non-stop, making it the perfect companion for long flights, unless you’re one of those people that likes “getting to know others” on the plane. But in all seriousness, the display alone is reason enough to put it on the list of the best Android tablets of 2012, and the hardware is more than powerful enough to run all but the most demanding of tasks, but even then, it can still hold its own among some of the other heavyweights on this list. What say you? Also, there will be a WiFi variant coming to market shortly as well, for those of you that are averse to two year contracts.
