00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:14.440
the Galaxy Tab 10.1 so this is from the

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.359
Android side of things what I would consider to be the closest equivalent to

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:26.119
something like an iPad 2 in terms of the form factor the sleekness of the design

00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:29.359
and in terms of the well really the the

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:31.480
look the style okay so the Galaxy Tab

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

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:41.680
which is pretty much part for the course 16x9 aspect ratio it does use the NVIDIA

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.600
Tegra 2 chip which means that you do have support for games that require

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

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:54.520
fairly powerful GPU on there as well so

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:59.039
that's a good thing to note okay it uses a PLS display

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:03.519
so just in case you were wondering what kind of display type it uses the ASUS

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

00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:12.880
got uh HD video capture and Playback so it does include a 3.2 megapixel front

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:17.240
camera 2 megapixel back camera in terms of their photo taking capabilities and

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.000
claims that you can capture HD video does support video chat and has a 7,000

00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:25.479
milliamp hour battery although that doesn't tell us anything about the

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.400
battery life itself I wouldn't expect

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

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:38.119
tablets because and this is important to note the Tab 10.1 is actually the

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.439
thinnest tablet on the market by a

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:44.200
wapping 2 of a millimeter compared to

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

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

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.520
were there we go so Samsung has what is

00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:00.000
this is this a manual looks like a manual

00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:10.800
okay all right then maybe this manual wasn't meant to be read There we go

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.200
finally got it open all right so the manual of information okay the Samsung

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.720
Galaxy Tab health health and safety and warranty guide so here why don't we find

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:23.480
out what the warranty is I'm just curious it's probably a one-year

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:30.319
warranty that's pretty standard these days page 44 one year there you go cases

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:35.000
90 days tablet one year batteries one year cool okay next we have uh sign up

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.120
now to customize your Samsung phone experience okay next we have what looks

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

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:48.640
charge it you're going to have to charge it using the included adapter because

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:53.040
like many tablets it does require more power than can be

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:56.239
provided out of a standard USB port although some motherboards do include

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:00.720
features that allow you to charge tablets and higher draw devices out of

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

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:07.400
upgrading your motherboard that's a pretty neat little feature includes a

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:11.920
pair of headphones which have uh not only

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.239
headphones on them but also here left right there we go also a microphone as

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.480
well as a single button so you can actually press it once to play or pause

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

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:30.080
well and finally we have a charging cable charging SL do cable so this plugs

00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:33.879
into the presumably the bottom of the unit yes plugs into the bottom of the

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:37.599
unit right here and then plugs into a charger or

00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:41.760
your PC all right so now it's finally time to

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

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

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

00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.040
tablets that I played with remember though a lot of how something feels is

00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:04.000
actually the ergonomics more than the weight so don't quote me on that because

00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:09.959
I haven't looked up the weight of this particular unit but it feels really

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:12.959
really lightweight to hold on to for some reason all right so on the front

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

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:20.000
power/ standby button right up here on the side you can see that this guy is

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

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

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.840
thickness now one of the other things things that is going to be far more

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:38.000
comfortable about the tab is the fact that it is lighter I I can tell Almost

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

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

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:51.479
watching it you might be sitting on a plane holding it you might be laying in

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:55.440
bed holding it like this whatever the case may be having a lighter tablet is

00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:58.800
definitely going to make for a better overall experience now one of the other

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:03.960
things that really stands out to me about the Tab 10 .1 is the construction

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:09.000
quality it feels like it's worth the $4.99 price tag which cannot necessarily

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:14.520
be said about every tablet that's in that price range so even though it does

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

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:23.000
one one of my biggest complaints about the iPad 2 in terms of the build quality

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

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:31.120
it's true okay but this aluminum back

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:35.759
every time I put it down I feel like I'm breaking it you

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

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.919
can probably get like covers for it but that defeats the purpose of having a

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

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.960
why right you want something that covers the screen on the front and the back

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

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

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:04.919
I can go like this and I don't feel uncomfortable about that because even if

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

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

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

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

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:27.840
headphone jack here which you can obviously use with the included uh

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:31.400
headphones and microphone right there okay just like that and that also has

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:36.080
that media control functionality that I talked about before we do have a front

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

00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:42.120
a flash on the tab 10.1 that is a very

00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.919
handy feature I actually do use the flash from time to time on my iPhone 4

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

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:55.960
on actually this is a really cool little app I have a little flashlight app just

00:06:53.240 --> 00:07:00.599
turn that on and uh I can find my way around right so

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

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/

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

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

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:21.840
your dock as well as what appears to be a microphone Port although I have not

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.800
100% sure about that that looks like a microphone port and then on the other

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

00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:35.879
this is partly due to to the very very slim very slick form factor is things

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

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:45.120
support for a Micro SD or an SD card slot so these are compromises that you

00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:49.800
are going to have to make in terms of Elegance and since I would only consider

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

00:07:52.599 --> 00:07:58.560
doesn't have any checkboxes against it in terms of its competition because the

00:07:56.440 --> 00:08:04.720
iPad 2 also doesn't support external video out and also doesn't support uh

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.240
external added

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:12.520
storage now you can get a keyboard dock but right now it's only available from

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:14.080
Samsung um so you know I wouldn't missen

00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:18.000
it's not like the transformer where the keyboard dock is pretty much a a brain

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.919
dead add-on to it because it comes with the included battery pack and the extra

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:25.159
functionality like the USB ports but if you did want a keyboard you could get

00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:29.599
that although really I'd recommend just grabbing a Bluetooth keyboard and

00:08:27.159 --> 00:08:34.000
pairing it to your Galaxy Tab because what I've found in my experience I've

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

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.839
actually do any serious email use on a tablet so I'm mostly focused on things

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.560
like web browsing YouTube where you're just typing a couple little things and

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:51.880
the keyboards included with Android the onscreen keyboards as well as iOS are

00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:56.640
more than sufficient for that kind of thing so this pretty much wraps up my

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:59.760
unboxing of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 don't forget to subscribe to lonus Tech tips

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.800
for more unboxings reviews in other computer videos actually one more thing

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.920
it is available in a couple of different colors um I went with the darker color

00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:12.519
because I do believe it'll be a little bit more resistant to grunge buildup and

00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:16.279
for something as elegant and Slick looking as this you want to kind of look

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

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:21.680
route
