Reviews for the Marvell PXA986 processor

Review Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Lite Tablet

Review Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Lite Tablet

Redundant successor? Samsung launched an entry-level tablet on the market that did not really convince us in several fields with its Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. Now, 7 months later, we have our hands on the Lite version - is it a sensible diet or simply nip/tuck madness?

Review HP Slate 10 HD 3500eg Tablet

Single character. Our bright red test sample of the 10-inch tablet HP Slate 10 HD 3500eg is a special edition that will not be available in Europe. Since it is identical with the normal silver-colored version in every other respect, we put it through our practical test.

Review Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 Tablet

The little three. The Galaxy Tab 3 in its 7-inch size is the cheaper and slightly smaller version of the already reviewed Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. So, does one have to deal with numerous restrictions or are Samsung's premium aspirations justified?
