Design and Body
As a 7-inch tablet, viewed from the front design similar to Tab 7 + Tab P1000. Except on the side of the body that is surrounded silver list. So more or less like GTab 10.1. Except for the logo on the back of the portrait Samsungnya visible. The back is a glossy white color, although it makes a cool display but glossy materials well known easy to dirty. At the front there are no buttons at all, not uncommon for these tablets using Honeycomb OS. On the left side there is a SIM card slot and Micro SD slot, while the right side there is the power button and volume as well as an infrared port, a bit strange considering the infrared is rarely used. At the top there is a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom while the proprietary Samsung charger port as well as other GTab, it is enough to make complicated because the micro USB is not present in this tablet. Stereo speakers are at the bottom, in our opinion it is better placed on the left and right speaker when the tablet is held horizontally to watch a movie or a sensation of stereo video clip.
Galaxy Tab 7 + using PLS type LCD with brightness and viewing angle is better than standard LCD. 7-inch screen resolution of 1024x600 pixels is given, exactly the same as Galaxy Tab P1000, so it has the sharpness of 169.55 pixels per inch pixels, about the same sharpness of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The screen does look better in color than the Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000, while watching the video will be felt at the quality of the screen, clear, nice and nice views. Good viewing angle for LCD size, except when viewed from above. When in the sun what is displayed on the screen is still visible. Galaxy Tab 7 + screen has several modes like Dynamic, Standard and Movie, Movie mode where the screen that had become characteristic bluish shades of yellow are perfect for watching movies.
Interface
With TouchWiz UI UX looks a little more customization than the Honeycomb tablet. On the homescreen which consists of five pages, you can add widgets, application shortcuts, wallpaper and other such specific contact, certain settings and others through'' +'' icon on the far right of the screen. Then there was the search menu on the top left corner, as well as Home and back buttons are located at the bottom left of the screen, in a similar area on the Windows taskbar that appears in all applications. Everything is so that Honeycomb tablet does not require any button on the taskbar around the screen so it is necessary to return to the homescreen and the previous menu. At the bottom left there is also a key Most recent apps and screenshots button.
To the main menu displays the tablet in two parts, namely All Downloaded Apps and Apps. Notification center, clock, battery indicator does not like the Android smartphone as described above, the tablet is under the Honeycomb makes the tablet look like a computer. At the center of this notification there is a setting screen brightness, shortcut access to the'' Settings'', shortcut access WiFi, GPS, and auto rotation profiles that allow you to use this tablet. With the appearance of a small notification so that incoming mail from GMail may be overlooked because of its iconic small compared to the size of the screen is GTab 7 +. Taskbar can'' ousted'' to display some shortcuts.
Generally speaking the truth in the Honeycomb user interface looks pretty heavy, as evidenced in tablet 1.2 GHz dual core processor and 1Gb of RAM like the Galaxy Tab 7 + still feel lag when sliding homescreen, and out of the menu or main menu, though lagnya not too distracting.
Input Text
Existing text input such as: Android keyboard, Samsung keyboard, and keyboard Talkback. To select the input method is quite simple, there is an icon in the taskbar keyboard to select the input method is available even shortcuts to adjust each input method. With a 7-inch capacitive screen, certainly easier to type in portrait or landscape mode.

7-inch tablet can be used to make calls and receive calls directly using the phone earpiece is positioned properly in general, at the top, although it would be very awkward if you use a tablet to make calls.

Similarly with GMail, GMail look at Honeycomb tablet more intuitive and better than the Android phones, where all the folders (starred, Important, chat, outbox, drafts and others at the top left. You can perform searches, and manual refresh to compose an email with the icon. For existing arrangements such as priority inbox, sync option, notification and signature. Google Talk itself is roughly equal to Android but just look different. Its features include automatic sign in, IM notif, video block chat and friend.

To select the focus simply touch the screen object (touch to focus).
Tab 7 Plus the camera is pretty good, but when compared with the results of camera phones is quite different. With 3.2 MP resolution, the resulting color is quite nice and natural, with enough detail for a 3.2MP, but when shooting indoors or low light conditions the picture is a lot of noise. But the LED flash is not enough help at shooting indoors.
Video Recording
For maximum video recording resolution supported HD 720p (1280x720 pixels) with these features are pretty much like: flash, edit the shortcut, recording mode, exposure, timer, effects, resolution, white balance, outdoor visibility, storage and guidelines.

The results of the video recording format. Mp4 with 720p resolution. Per-minute video of 80MB storage spending, big enough. Bitratenya 11 000 kbps over a 27 frames per second framerate and 63 kbps mono audio recording. Just like on the camera, video recording in low light conditions fulfilled excessive noise.

Connectivity
This tablet runs on Quadband GSM networks and HSDPA. In addition, local connectivity is a-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi a / b / g / n dual band complete with tethering feature.
