amazon Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 reviews
Hardware design
The first point we would like to mention is the size factor. With size 8.9 inches, this tablet eliminates the feeling of a smaller 7-inch tablet (like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0, Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, or Kindle Fire). Its screen is large enough to display web pages and documents of the same size as on a regular computer. The big screen of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is more advantageous for watching movies and playing games. However, we see the 8.9-inch size has advantages over 10-inch machine is easy to hold with one hand, thus easier to use when you move.
On the form, except more minor and a little lighter weight (453 g versus 589 g), the Galaxy Tab 8.9 tablet looks exactly the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Overall this is a miniature version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thinness remains the same, 8.6 mm. Designing the corners, edges, and the material has not changed, still kind of rounded corners and use the rear plastic shell. The silver bezel is manufactured like aluminum, but it is a coating, while the material is still plastic.
Plastic materials and design rounded edges Galaxy Tab 8.9 make lightweight and easy to hold handgrip than iPad 2.
On the hardware side, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 also uses the processor Nvidia Tegra 2 1 GHz and 1 GB RAM, similar pattern Galaxy Tab 10.1. This tablet has two cameras, a front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video conferencing, and a 3-megapixel camera on the back to take pictures. It supports 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Samsung uses a 6100 mAh capacity battery with a battery life according to the manufacturer’s specifications 10 hours. In our tests, the battery runs over 8 hours with continuous usage (surfing the web, watching movies, listening to music), the result is not bad compared to other tablets. However, several points to note are longer time fully charged (about 5 hours) and charging electricity can not be charged via the computer.
Like other Galaxy tablets and the Apple iPad 2, Galaxy Tab 8.9 is designed to minimize the number of connection ports and buttons to help create the machine to become thinner. Its only hard buttons are the power button and two volume control buttons. Compared to many other Android tablets, tablets lack USB ports, HDMI, and microSD card slots for storage expansion.
Screen
Despite the smaller size, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 still uses a PLS TFT screen resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, similar to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, so it has a greater pixel density of 170 PPI compared to 149 PPI. This tablet’s resolution is much higher in terms of specifications than the iPad 2 (1024 x 768 resolution pixels, 132 PPI).
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 screen displays impressive, easy to read, and has a wide viewing angle. As mentioned above, the pixel density is higher than Galaxy Tab 10.1 computer should display text and images on the screen clearly, more. It is also relatively easy on the eyes when used outside but not the ideal device for outdoor use. The ability to use as an e-book reader is also very stable because of more lightweight tablets with a different price range. There is a detail we’re surprised that Samsung still uses TFT in this tablet, not a Super AMOLED Plus screen with higher contrast.
Regarding the sensitivity of the touch screen, we feel satisfied with the Galaxy Tab 8.9. However, it is not as responsive as the Apple iPad 2 screen and easy to pick up fingerprints (the problem exists at all touch screens on tablets and smartphones).

Boot speed is also quite fast, taking just over 30 seconds from the moment the machine is powered on until the entire interface displays the home screen.
The speaker’s quality of this tablet is also acceptable; the volume is relatively large, and a clear sound when listening via speaker or headset.

3-megapixel camera of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 with unexpected image quality, clarity when shooting in a good lighting environment. However, holding a tablet to take pictures looks pretty weird, uncomfortable by smartphones.
Conclude
