Unboxing Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210)

So I recently bought a Samsung Tab 3 since my cell phone is starting to show signs of old age. I can't even install candy crush on it!


I bought my tab at SM Cebu Appliance for P 8991.00 instead of P 9990.00. It was 5% off and an additional 500 pesos for cash/straight credit card payments. I was already eyeing on this one online but when I saw that on SM with a discounted price, I immediately bought it.

The Samsung Tab 3 I have has a wifi only connection. It's not a problem for me since I can tether my cell phone connection if I am out for a trip and our house is also a wifi hotspot. The Samsung Tab 3 with 3G connection was at P14000.00 I think, but I'm not sure as I did not bother to take a look at it.

I have the marble white color with 8GB memory. The package includes a USB cord, travel adapter, and a manual. I did not regret getting this one! The tab can play games without problems. Screen resolution is also good. Though the back camera is bit turn off since it has only 3MP but it can capture decent photos for online sharing. Battery life is not that good, I have to charge it every day. I also have to turn it off when charging as the unit heats up if turned on when charging.

The screen is also wide enough to do basic tasks like watching movies and photos, browsing the web, games or editing documents. The size feels good with my petite hands, however I have to use both hands when typing/chatting. It's very handy too as I don't need to use larger bags if I take it outside.

Aside from gaming, it also perfect document editing. Polaris Office can do the magic as it can also edit Microsoft Office documents. That means I can easily edit my sheets easily even without my netbook. You can also hide apps that you think is not useful for you.

Overall, I love my Samsung Tab 3. It's was worth it buying this tab.
