Smart Functions
Where Samsung nowadays implants their smart functions in every product, that is not the case with this tablet. Even the basic Smart Stay is abcent, bad thing Samsung! Of course this tablet is very cheap but this feature in our eyes could be there considering the Galaxy Tab3 8.0 has this function. Now we do have voice control in this device (if you can call this a smart function).

Multimedia
In the multimedia section, this tablet does the same things as the Galaxy Tab2 7.0. Unfortunately we have to ask ourselfves why Samsung has forgotten the simple thing like multi-window. However, this tablet comes standard with the new gallery which will give this tablet or a more expensive appearance. All in all we have no complaints about its multimedia options, although this tablet has no radio application. Since the Galaxy S4 Samsung has decided to leave the Radio application abcent. However, we regret that the more luxurious things like multi-window isn’t included. However, this can still come through the updates.

Screen
The Galaxy Tab3 7.0 is using a 7 ich TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 (WSVGA) and the pixel density here is 170. This resolution we know back from the previous generation Galaxy Tablets. Samsung probably has some screens left over or this is the cheapest way to produce these tablets to keep the price as low as possible. We hoped that Samsung would go for a better screen. Likely that the real great tablets will be coming later this year and Samsung has really chosen for this screen to keep the price so low. However, it has to be said that the colors appear natural, of course you miss some pixels but it is mainly the colors that you see. This is reasonable for TFT screens, unfortunately the screen is difficult to read in direct sunlight but this is a known problem with every screen.

Camera
The Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 W-Fi is using a 3 megapixel camera on its back and a 1.3 megapixel front camera. Only the front camera has been updated from the Galaxy Tab2, unfortunately the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 still uses the old camera interface. However, there are some features and photo scenes present to make reasonable photos. Touch Focus is not present wich is kind of odd but there is a digital zoom up to 4 times, which is going to the expense of the picture quality. All in all this camera of this tablet is just not that good, you can shoot decent pictures but we can not recommend this tablet if you want to shoot high quality pictures. Price technically a 3 megapixel camera sensor is a good one but we prefer a 5 megapixel sensor. This will soon be the standard for tablets.
