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

Abstract: It's smaller than the iPad, but no less fun and easy to useThe Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is the latest member of the brand's tablet family, packing many of the great aspects of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 into a slightly smaller, more compact body.Weighing 4...
Good Looking Device, Slim and Light Aesthetics, The 8.9inch screen size works, Fast thanks to Tegra 2 processor
Can be a little glitchy, Just not as innovative as an iPad 2
The Samsung Tab 8.9 creates a new 8.9inch size for tablets, which we found to work quite well. The lightness and slimness of the tablet was a positive and had no affect on chassis strength. It's also a fast and responsive tablet, with a few little glitche...
So where does the Samsung 8.9 rank in the current hierarchy of tablets? Well, we’d say quite highly. It shares so many of the characteristics that made the Galaxy Tab 10.1 such an impressive device, but manages to condense it all into a smaller, more
Ideal 8.9inch dimensions, Lovely 1,280x800pixel screen, Fast and smooth, Useful TouchWiz skin
High price, Still a few bugs, Lacks the integration of Apple or Amazon tablets
Large enough to enjoy a film on but smaller than a hardback book, 8.9 inches could be the perfect size for a tablet. Add good build quality and great performance and the only thing holding back the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is its shocking price-tag....
Practical format both for mobile and sedentary use, Good overall screen quality / almost perfect media player, General responsiveness of the tablet is good, with just a few slowdowns, Compact and light / Decent battery life for mixed usage, even with 3G, Good 3G network connection
Single proprietary connector, No memory extension, Mediocre photo/video sensor
Like the Galaxy Tab 10.1-inch, the 8.9 has numerous advantages: an impressive media player, nice and compact, very light, plenty of exclusives in the interface. The fact that you can't extend the memory and that it uses a proprietary port mean it doesn...
Samsung's latest tablet takes the company into yet another screen size territory – that of 8.9in. And it's this size of screen that could be the dark horse in the tablet arena as it gives you greater space than 7in tablets yet is more portable than tho...
Little and lithe, good screen, very usable with TouchWiz, excellent for games and video
No HDMI, no 3G, ho-hum cameras, a few bugs
A lovely tablette that’s wandered out of its depth and ended up playing with the big boys. Fast, usable and stylish but just too expensive for what you get....
