Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Priced as Low as ₱9,490 in the Philippines – Specs and Features

by Daniel Gubalane on Aug 07, 2013

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 WiFi only version is the cheapest among the newly unveiled Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 family at ₱9,490 only. That’s just a little more than half the price of the first Samsung Galaxy Tab to hit the Philippines back in 2010.

Of course, that’s the WiFi only version and doesn’t have a sim slot. If you want the version with the 3G sim slot, you’ll have to spend ₱14,990. That’s a single micro sim tablet capable of connecting to the 3G networks of SMART, GLOBE and SUN.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean smoothly thanks to its 1.2 GHz  dual core processor coupled with 1 GB of RAM.You’ll also have a lot of room for your apps with the 16 GB internal memory that that can be expanded up to 64 GB using a microSD card.

This tablet can last up to 8 hours of continuous browsing of the internet via WiFi thanks to its 4,000 mAh Li-ion battery. If you are a mild tablet user, it might stay up for 24 hours without recharging.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Display and Camera

The 7.0 inch screen of Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is a TFT panel only with a 600 x 1024 resolution. This one disappointed me since an IPS display would have made viewing movies with friends using this tablet a better experience.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0’s camera are a disappointment too at 3.15 MP for the back and VGA for the front. Tablets usually have lower camera resolutions but even Starmobile managed to offer a tablet with 8 MP camera.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab line-up are among the best tablets that you can own today. That doesn’t change with the addition of Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 but it does come short given the fierce competition in the tablets market today.

 If you want a tablet with a proven reputation in quality and offers enough specs to

  • browse the internet

  • create and edit files, and
  • play simple games

then Smasung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is a good choice. However, there are other cheap alternatives that can offer better specs with less famous brands.
