Thin bezels, small frame
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 features a more compact look than the Tab 2 10.1, thanks to its thinner border and bezels. It's one of the smaller 10-inch tablets available.
Skinny profile and lightweight
The tablet only weighs 1.12 pounds and is 0.31-inch thick -- a few hairs thicker than the ultraslim Sony Xperia Tablet Z.
Bright screen with vibrant colors
The Tab 3 10.1's 10-inch screen is impressively bright but features a 1,280x800-pixel resolution that leaves us wanting more.
Selfie-shooter
The front-facing camera is soft but does well at adjusting exposure -- for a 1.3-megapixel shooter.
Frustrating functionality
The Tab 3 10.1's bottom bezel houses a menu, home, and back button. The capacitive menu and back buttons have a large hit-box and can be triggered accidentally from a mile away. OK -- only an inch away, but you get the point.
Rear camera
At $400, you'd think Samsung could splurge a little and put something better than a just-OK 3.2-megapixel rear camera, but, unfortunately, that's all it gets.
Headphone jack, meet your neighbor, left speaker
The tablet's headphone jack is a little awkwardly placed on the top-left corner.
Smooth, plastic back
The Tab 3 10.1's back is typical of Galaxy devices. It feels a little cheap but keeps the device securely gripped in your hands
