Overview
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is an Android-powered tablet computer featuring an 8-inch display, developed and distributed by Samsung Electronics. It is part of the third iteration within the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, which also comprises the 7-inch and 10.1-inch variants, specifically the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. This model was introduced to the US market in July 2013. Distinct from its 7-inch and 10.1-inch counterparts, the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 represents a new size category within the lineup, debuting in this generation of Samsung’s Galaxy Tablets.
History
The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 was officially unveiled on 24 June 2013. It debuted alongside the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 during the 2013 Mobile World Congress. Samsung announced that the device would become available in the United States starting 7 July 2013, with the 16 GB version priced at $299.99.
Features
The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 launched running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Although an update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean was initially anticipated following its Summer 2013 release, this upgrade was ultimately bypassed in favor of a later update to Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which was rolled out in 2014. Samsung enhanced the user experience by incorporating its proprietary TouchWiz UX interface. Alongside Google's suite of applications such as Google Play, Gmail, and YouTube, users can access Samsung-exclusive apps including ChatON, S Suggest, S Voice, S Translator, S Planner, Smart Remote (Peel), Smart Stay, Multi-Window, Group Play, and All Share Play.
This tablet is offered in several configurations: WiFi-only, combined 3G & WiFi, and 4G/LTE & WiFi models. Storage options vary between 16 GB and 32 GB depending on the variant, with expandable storage supported via a microSDXC card slot. The device features an 8-inch WXGA Super Clear LCD display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels.
