1
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:14,440
the Galaxy Tab 10.1 so this is from the

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,359
Android side of things what I would consider to be the closest equivalent to

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:26,119
something like an iPad 2 in terms of the form factor the sleekness of the design

4
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:29,359
and in terms of the well really the the

5
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:31,480
look the style okay so the Galaxy Tab

6
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:35,840
10.1 here we go so it's obviously a 10.1 in screen it's a 1280x 800 resolution

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,680
which is pretty much part for the course 16x9 aspect ratio it does use the NVIDIA

8
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:45,600
Tegra 2 chip which means that you do have support for games that require

9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:51,559
Tegra 2 see Samsung just says dual core processor 1 GHz time 2 but it also has a

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,520
fairly powerful GPU on there as well so

11
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:59,039
that's a good thing to note okay it uses a PLS display

12
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:03,519
so just in case you were wondering what kind of display type it uses the ASUS

13
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:08,920
uses an IPS panel this uses a PLS panel we've got Intel Adobe Flash Player we've

14
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,880
got uh HD video capture and Playback so it does include a 3.2 megapixel front

15
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,240
camera 2 megapixel back camera in terms of their photo taking capabilities and

16
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,000
claims that you can capture HD video does support video chat and has a 7,000

17
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:25,479
milliamp hour battery although that doesn't tell us anything about the

18
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,400
battery life itself I wouldn't expect

19
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:31,280
battery life to be quite as strong a point for this one as some of the bigger

20
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:38,119
tablets because and this is important to note the Tab 10.1 is actually the

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,439
thinnest tablet on the market by a

22
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:44,200
wapping 2 of a millimeter compared to

23
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:49,399
the iPad 2 so here we go there's the tab itself let's put that aside for now um

24
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,719
and let's see what Samsung includes here do you want to just go back where you

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,520
were there we go so Samsung has what is

26
00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:00,000
this is this a manual looks like a manual

27
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,800
okay all right then maybe this manual wasn't meant to be read There we go

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,200
finally got it open all right so the manual of information okay the Samsung

29
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Galaxy Tab health health and safety and warranty guide so here why don't we find

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,480
out what the warranty is I'm just curious it's probably a one-year

31
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:30,319
warranty that's pretty standard these days page 44 one year there you go cases

32
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:35,000
90 days tablet one year batteries one year cool okay next we have uh sign up

33
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,120
now to customize your Samsung phone experience okay next we have what looks

34
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:44,280
like probably a quick start guide so shows you where all the buttons are shows you the basic functionality how to

35
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,640
charge it you're going to have to charge it using the included adapter because

36
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,040
like many tablets it does require more power than can be

37
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,239
provided out of a standard USB port although some motherboards do include

38
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:00,720
features that allow you to charge tablets and higher draw devices out of

39
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,200
some USB ports so keep an eye out for that if you do have a tablet and you're

40
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:07,400
upgrading your motherboard that's a pretty neat little feature includes a

41
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:11,920
pair of headphones which have uh not only

42
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:16,239
headphones on them but also here left right there we go also a microphone as

43
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,480
well as a single button so you can actually press it once to play or pause

44
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,159
or twice to skip a track so that's kind of a neat little function to build in as

45
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:30,080
well and finally we have a charging cable charging SL do cable so this plugs

46
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:33,879
into the presumably the bottom of the unit yes plugs into the bottom of the

47
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,599
unit right here and then plugs into a charger or

48
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,760
your PC all right so now it's finally time to

49
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:48,080
have a look at the unit itself and in terms of the overall slickness of it it

50
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:51,360
feels really nice to hold it's you know what I don't I don't want to I don't

51
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:55,720
want to say it cuz I'm not sure but it feels lighter than most of the other

52
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,040
tablets that I played with remember though a lot of how something feels is

53
00:03:57,959 --> 00:04:04,000
actually the ergonomics more than the weight so don't quote me on that because

54
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:09,959
I haven't looked up the weight of this particular unit but it feels really

55
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,959
really lightweight to hold on to for some reason all right so on the front

56
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:16,639
here actually why don't I why don't I turn it on really quick here is our

57
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,000
power/ standby button right up here on the side you can see that this guy is

58
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:25,120
very very slim you know what I'm going to pull out an iPad too for comparison

59
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:29,800
um give me a sec here guys so there you go there's the 2 mm difference in

60
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,840
thickness now one of the other things things that is going to be far more

61
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:38,000
comfortable about the tab is the fact that it is lighter I I can tell Almost

62
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:43,120
100% the Tab 10.1 feels lighter than the iPad 2 which is great because a lot of

63
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,039
the time you're not necessarily sitting at a desk with a tablet in front of you

64
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,479
watching it you might be sitting on a plane holding it you might be laying in

65
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,440
bed holding it like this whatever the case may be having a lighter tablet is

66
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,800
definitely going to make for a better overall experience now one of the other

67
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,960
things that really stands out to me about the Tab 10 .1 is the construction

68
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:09,000
quality it feels like it's worth the $4.99 price tag which cannot necessarily

69
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:14,520
be said about every tablet that's in that price range so even though it does

70
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:18,319
have a plastic back this is a very smart design for a couple of reasons so number

71
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:23,000
one one of my biggest complaints about the iPad 2 in terms of the build quality

72
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:28,880
outstanding it just feels great it does it's true you can like it or lump it but

73
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:31,120
it's true okay but this aluminum back

74
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,759
every time I put it down I feel like I'm breaking it you

75
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:40,960
know I feel like I'm damaging it which is kind of stressful uh I mean yeah you

76
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:43,919
can probably get like covers for it but that defeats the purpose of having a

77
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:48,639
super slim tablet don't you think you go and wrap it in like a big old case well

78
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,960
why right you want something that covers the screen on the front and the back

79
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:57,280
should be pretty much should take care of itself so the Samsung Tab 10.1 has a

80
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,240
plastic back and it has a texture to it so what that means is I can take it and

81
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,919
I can go like this and I don't feel uncomfortable about that because even if

82
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:09,639
it gets a small scratch on it that's not going to be very noticeable at all this

83
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,080
is the 16 gig version I have here today but it's also available in 32 gigs and

84
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:18,360
let's cover a couple basic specs here uh before I get into the locations of all

85
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:22,960
the different things on the tab 10.1 of which there are a few so we've got a

86
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,840
headphone jack here which you can obviously use with the included uh

87
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,400
headphones and microphone right there okay just like that and that also has

88
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:36,080
that media control functionality that I talked about before we do have a front

89
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:40,360
mounted oh I already talked about the uh the cameras didn't I but you've also got

90
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:42,120
a flash on the tab 10.1 that is a very

91
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,919
handy feature I actually do use the flash from time to time on my iPhone 4

92
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,680
and the reason is cu if I'm trying to find my way in the dark I'll just turn

93
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:55,960
on actually this is a really cool little app I have a little flashlight app just

94
00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:00,599
turn that on and uh I can find my way around right so

95
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,800
that's kind of neat so having something like that is a cool feature even if you

96
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,800
don't use it for photographs okay up at the top here uh you've got the power/

97
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:13,120
standby button you've also got a volume rocker so that's down that's up you've

98
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,720
got that guy on the side you find a speaker port on the bottom you've got

99
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:21,840
your dock as well as what appears to be a microphone Port although I have not

100
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,800
100% sure about that that looks like a microphone port and then on the other

101
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:30,560
side of speaker so what you don't have on the 10.1 and I'm going to assume that

102
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,879
this is partly due to to the very very slim very slick form factor is things

103
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:41,319
like HDMI out okay that is not supported on the tab 10.1 we also don't see any

104
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:45,120
support for a Micro SD or an SD card slot so these are compromises that you

105
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,800
are going to have to make in terms of Elegance and since I would only consider

106
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:54,919
the iPad 2 really equivalent to the Tab 10.1 in terms of its form factor then it

107
00:07:52,599 --> 00:07:58,560
doesn't have any checkboxes against it in terms of its competition because the

108
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:04,720
iPad 2 also doesn't support external video out and also doesn't support uh

109
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,240
external added

110
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:12,520
storage now you can get a keyboard dock but right now it's only available from

111
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Samsung um so you know I wouldn't missen

112
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,000
it's not like the transformer where the keyboard dock is pretty much a a brain

113
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,919
dead add-on to it because it comes with the included battery pack and the extra

114
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:25,159
functionality like the USB ports but if you did want a keyboard you could get

115
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,599
that although really I'd recommend just grabbing a Bluetooth keyboard and

116
00:08:27,159 --> 00:08:34,000
pairing it to your Galaxy Tab because what I've found in my experience I've

117
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,479
actually got a keyboard for the iPad 2 I never use it I I very very rarely

118
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:43,839
actually do any serious email use on a tablet so I'm mostly focused on things

119
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,560
like web browsing YouTube where you're just typing a couple little things and

120
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,880
the keyboards included with Android the onscreen keyboards as well as iOS are

121
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,640
more than sufficient for that kind of thing so this pretty much wraps up my

122
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,760
unboxing of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips

123
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,800
for more unboxings reviews in other computer videos actually one more thing

124
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,920
it is available in a couple of different colors um I went with the darker color

125
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:12,519
because I do believe it'll be a little bit more resistant to grunge buildup and

126
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,279
for something as elegant and Slick looking as this you want to kind of look

127
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:21,680
elegant and Slick 6 months down the road so that is why I did decide to go that

128
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:21,680
route
