4G connectivity
Excellent size and weight
Good build quality
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 packs the full Android Honeycomb tablet experience (soon upgradeable to Android 4.0)
Along with Samsung's useful customizations
Into a compact body
This is a hot little tablet which once it has Android 4.0 and Chrome will sizzle because the 4G LTE capability is impressive if you can get access to a 4G network.
Great lightweight design
4G network ready
Good LCD display
OGG
DivX and Xvid playback
Great lightweight design. 4G network ready. Good LCD display. OGG
The editors didn't like
4G coverage currently limited
Sluggish performance
Too expensive
The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves the Tab 8.9 feeling less solid than the iPad 2
The price!
No TVout
No expandable memory
4G hampered by slow browser
Slow battery charging
No TV-out. No expandable memory. 4G hampered by slow browser. Slow battery charging
Abstract: Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, Photo: Raymond Wong/DVICEBuilding a tablet in today's climate is hard. You'll either be called out for being a copycat by consumers or officially called out by Apple — the leading tablet maker — for blatantly ripping off its va...
Very Good display and great performance; excellent design and formfactor; neat TouchWiz interface; great cameras,
Not running Android 3.2; a bit too pricey; tablet app selection in the Android marketplace is still limited; no social ports like USB or an SD card reader; no 3G/ 4G option.

Thin and light design, nice screen, great battery life
Sluggish performance, UI inconsistencies, lack of apps
'Just right' screen size, very light weight, Best tablet display to date, Quick, stable peformance
Subpar speakers, No useful inputs/ports, Less expensive than an iPad, but still too pricey
Boasting smaller and lighter dimensions as well as a really rich display that is superior to the iPad, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 gets high marks in both aesthetic and performance categories. The tablet offers a lot here, all in compact form, but is miss...
Light and thin, Beautiful, bright screen, TouchWiz makes the interface look better, Multiple keyboard and other input options, Decent audio quality
Expensive, Lackluster cameras, Design, The Tab 8.9 is nearly identical to the larger version, coming in at the same width (0.34 inches) but with a smaller 9.1 x 6.2-inch footprint. It still only has one connection port, the proprietary one on the bottom,
I was a big fan of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet when it made its debut because it was the thinnest tablet on the market and one of the first Honeycomb tablets. Unfortunately, my joy for Honeycomb has long since diminished. That isn’t Samsung’s fa...
Abstract: If you think there isn't much more to say about Samsung's Galaxy line of tablets, you're probably right. Since the Galaxy Tab 10.1 launched this past summer, it has been dissected and discussed a million times over. We love the screen, we love the thin...
I'm loving the 8.9-inch screen. It really feels like they've hit the sweet-spot, size-wise. It's big enough that watching movies and playing games looks good, but it's small and light enough that it's super portable. I can fit it in my jacket pocket and w
The one thing that seems to have suffered for this size reduction is the audio. The speakers weren't great on the 10.1, but they sound even tinnier on the 8.9, which is too bad. It employs the same rear camera as the 10.1 which isn't great. That said, you
Tablet feels very light in hand, but not cheap, Performance is great, every interaction is swift, Battery life is decent, TouchWiz is nice, doesn't bog down the system
Keyboard can feet cramped, though it's fast and responsive, Camera is a step down in many ways from the Tab 10.1, App selection still lags the iPad
