Case
LG's engineers have opted to 8.9 inches, instead of one of the common formats, such as 7 inches or 10.1 for the IPS screen size. The tablet is much greater than, for example, 7-inch models from Creative (7 ZiiO ") or HTC (Flyer).

The difference is not so important in a direct comparison with a compressed more representative of 10 inches.

The tablet of 8.9 inches (243x149x12 mm) is comfortable to hold due to its weight of 630 grams and can also be used easily with one hand. LG has left little space on the pages of glossy screens', so that the visual field is not always covered by the fingers.

Thick pad, with the exception of the tapered edges, 12 mm. But it feels a lot more often. For comparison: Apple iPhone 2 is 8.8 mm thick. Although Optimus iPad2 V900 and have the same weight class (Apple iPad2: 613 g), the LG V900 Optimus feel much heavier. Lightweight product that Apple has lost the LG 8.9-inch tablet.

The other side is made of two parts, the smallest that can be removed from the base unit. It reveals a SIM card slot and a convenient reset button, among other things.

Connectivity
LG is focused on the essentials in terms of interfaces and external control, and has not been very creative with the V900. USB and HDMI port can be found on the bottom. In addition, the dock connector or the cradle of LG SDT-500. We can not say that the plug-in includes a docking station, because he has not provided information on the time of the new LG.

We find the headphone jack, so the adapter and the power button to the left of the unit. There are only two speakers on the opposite side. A microphone is located on the top center and a volume control is a little to the left.

The Optimus V900 can be connected to a PC or Mac via USB. Data Cable only serves to exchange data. The tablet can be charged with the charger. During the test, we found that the transfer of data between the computer and the tablet takes a long time. The transmission rate has not reached the rates specified for USB in any way. Data transfer of 600 MB took over an hour.

Communication
The Optimus V900 has several options for connecting to the outside world. For one thing, it has wireless LAN (WLAN) IEEE 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth. You can also access the mobile Internet on the go with the V900, when a SIM card from a service provider is used.

The buffer Optimus has a module that supports 3G wireless transfer of data via GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA also supports quad-band technology so that the buffer can be used worldwide.

GPS
In addition to the different communication options, the Optimus V900 also includes a GPS receiver. This allows the buffer to be used as a navigation system. The software used in the LG tablet is based on Google Maps.

Supplies
It 'a little' things can be found in an elegant box of the Tablet PC as well as a real multilingual and comprehensive manual, there is a USB data cable, HDMI cable and charging cable. Are we missing a pair of 3-D glasses for viewing 3D movies recorded. LG offers a cradle of Treatment (SDT-500), about 30 million option.

Warranty
LG defines the warranty period of 24 months. It may, however, vary in different countries, depending on the provisions of the law.

Performance
A dual core processor, Tegra 250 model, does its job in the V900 Optimus. The ARM processor Nvidia is running at 1 GHz and has a second level cache of 1 MB. A graphics processor that is responsible for the video output is also incorporated in the Tegra 250 (ULP GeForce).

Dual-Core CPU support multi-tasking. This means that different applications can open the tablet at the same time. The processor has a total of 1024 MB of DDR2 memory.

The Tegra 250 is a system-on-a-chip module, called an SoC, where all the major hardware components are unified. Thus, processor, graphics card, the GSM and UMTS and other components in a module of the SoC.

The Tegra 250 is very popular among manufacturers of pills and is in Xoom Motorola, Dell Streak 7 "or Acer Iconia Tab A500, among others.

The CPU can not reach the maximum system clock of 1000 MHz, as required by the system. The processor clock has always been between 266 MHz and 1000 MHz in the test. The rate of the latter, then the maximum CPU clock, was only recorded in the graphics-intensive games.

CPU clock resolved between 266 and 606 MHz in current use. The Tegra 250 processor almost never used the clock frequencies higher than 760, 816 and 912 MHz. The advantage of this clock is that energy is saved and the battery life is extended.

Benchmarks
With 93,087 points, the V900 Optimus is already the second at the first point of reference, BrowserMark and therefore is slightly behind the winner, 10.1v Galaxy Tab by 163 points.

Score was only enough for third place in the V8 engine of Google, which once was rewarded with the Asus Eee TF101 card processor. Motorola Xoom is the second.

V900 Optimus ends in second graph compressed tested, the difference is only 5 points of the benchmark dial. The difference is 40 points in third place Streak 7 "Dell is much clearer.

Both rates are found in Smartbench 2011: first for the productivity and the index of the match. The Optimus V900 just had to admit defeat to Motorola Xoom (3652 points) with 3089 points in the index match. The V900 does Optimus third place in the productivity index with a score of 2537 points. Galaxy Tab 10.1v and again, Xoom Motorola said the top position.

LG V900 was beaten by five tablets tested in the Linpack benchmark and only Pro comes in sixth place with 34 218 MFLOPS. The 0.9.1 SunSpider benchmark result was not so bad. The LG tablet is again among the best four points in 2112.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v Tablet Review

Samsung 10-inch tablet debuted to the public for the first time at Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona earlier this year. Samsung was not present for the CeBIT 2011 in Hannover, also had no view of the sample simultaneously Roadshow, but the mobile operator, Vodafone, was a device to counter.

There is talk of Vodafone: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v is shared only with the layout of the hardware device from Vodafone in Germany until the downside. However, there is no SIM lock. As for equipment, given the current rate monotonic. In addition to a brilliant 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and 160 dpi, 2 Nvidia Tegra system on a chip (SoC) based on ARM RAM and 1 GB of work inside.

GBS is a memory 16 from the factory available for music, movies, software and other content. You are not spoiled the UMTS business in this tablet, because there is no WiFi available model in the table. Before coming to the price, the unit is another interesting feature: It is an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus.

Suggested retail price for this package complete 16 GB is a steep € 660. Galaxy Tab 10.1v, however, is available from EUR 550 different retailers, the latest price comparisons. Therefore, it is once again within the limits and can not compete with Apple iPad 2

Specifications Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v :

• Processor : NVIDIA Tegra 250 1 GHz

Connectivity
Pages accommodation reveal no surprises, and many of the interfaces are not installed. Except for the usual headphone jack, for connecting a headset is just a 30-pin connector for charging the device or by connecting the adapter. Product Package, Model EPL 1PLR, and a USB port and card reader cost about 30 euros and can be purchased separately.

In essence, in particular, to lose a microSD card reader or SD memory cards, plus a USB port. More recently, more subtle, and at the same time, the Samsung Card Galaxy 10.1 Android 3.1 (without the 'v' Vodafone) have achieved in this sector.

Case
The tablet comes in "metallic silver" after shopping. The anthracite, silver and black to a modern and at the same time, printing plain appealed to us. They also feel looks good and is not marked by the plastic used. A small error in our sample are irregular hole edges in the volume rocker.

A bonus point is rubberized, textured Flipside, which also offers perfect ergonomics with two depressions. This prevents the device from slipping easily into your hand. HTC Flyer Apple iPad tablet or 2 with the aluminum part to see more high quality, where this principle always be a matter of taste.

Tab Galaxy will remain within the limits and 10-inch device size of about 24.6x17x1.1 cm and the total weight of 576 grams. Comparison of Xoom or iPad Motorola 2 are a bit 'heavier by 730 grams, 601 grams respectively. 10.1v can not be carried around in a pants or coat pocket and holding it becomes uncomfortable quickly, unlike the HTC Flyer smaller, with 7-inch screen (430 grams). Cases, stability can not leave anything to be desired. It could be just a little 'convoluted, and not popping or cracking can be detected.  

Performance
The popular Nvidia Tegra 2 (Tegra 250) System-on-a-chip (SoC) based on an ARM processor working inside Galaxy Tab 10.1v. Power at 1 GHz is divided into two nuclei with this solution (dual core), which is backed by a 1 MB cache.

As it is called a SoC, the most vital hardware like processor, graphics card, the GSM and UMTS chipset, is located on a block. Many other manufacturers of tablets that come with Android 3.0 also comes with a Nvidia solution. Examples would be Xoom Motorola, Dell Streak 7 "or Acer Iconia Tab A500 Tablet / MID we tested extensively.

We are looking closer to the behavior of the processor clock with the instrument, the light of the CPU, which is available in the Android Market. In addition, the maximum power of 1000 MHz, the system adjusts the speed requirements.

608 MHz and 216 MHz, which saves energy and prolongs battery life, has often been used in daily use. Built-in 16 GB of SSD memory and 1024 MB of DDR2 RAM of other components of the nuclear system.

2 Tegra SoC to provide good interaction with the Google Android 3.0 is a set of parameters. We will take the Table Top Market Comparison browser with an overall score of 93 250 points. Comparable formations follow a relatively short distance. The difference increases when the Acer Iconia Tab A500, though.

The difference between the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is about 17.9% in this test (76,540 points). This image is reinforced in Google V8 benchmark, and the tablets / Nvidia Tegra MID 2 is almost the same level. Fujitsu Stylisitic Q550 Windows 7 operating system to ensure a clear victory in this test and the difference is 10.1v 63.1% (591 points).

The test device is reappointed to a leading position in Linpack Mflops 53376 Pro exceeds the smallest and HTC Flyer 7 ". Xoom Motorola sharp decline is striking because it carries only 34,514 points (-35.3%). Quadrant and Smartbench 2011 confirms that the material is so far a positive image. And it is again confirmed in the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark.

We only want to deal with the difference that Samsung Galaxy Lose 7 ", next to the small differences in the configurations comparable. The tablet with Tegra 2 has a performance of 8234 seconds at the end of our relationship and the difference to the Galaxy 10.1v is 74.9% (2.07 seconds).

IPS screen, Intel Atom Z670 processor, single-core, integrated GMA 600 graphics and operating system, Windows 7, is specifically aimed at enterprises. It starts with € 699 (RRP) with a storage capacity of 30 GB as a non-UMTS model.

Fujitsu wants to jump on the bandwagon is moving at full speed with its Q550 style and take some market share. The company wants to deal specifically with the company's customers, in line with the tablet compared to consumer devices.

In addition to a fingerprint sensor, there is a SmartCard slot, the Advanced theft protection (ATP) and TPM (Trusted Platform) is installed. Taking into account the object and longed for an easy integration of existing IT infrastructure, Fujitsu is based on Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, including the included stylus to input interface.

Connectivity
A good standard is given in the form of interfaces. Apart from an SD card slot and a USB 2.0 port, expandable via a hub, there's also an HDMI output installed. According to the spec chart, it supports the revision 1.3. However, a modern television with an interface connected 1.4a in function test (backward). In addition to two microphones, there is also a jack 3.5 mm stereo installed. But this is not a combo port for headphones - it only allows the transmission of sound.

The docking port at the back is rewarding because it allows the use of a port replicator or a docking station. The adjacent side event overwhelms us with an armada of sliders and control buttons. Besides the possibility of returning the unit on and off, and management of mobile technologies, there are three small buttons. They allow you to fade into the keyboard, rotate 90 degrees in both directions and access the Task Manager screen, open the combination "CTRL + ALT + FLSR" key on a laptop.

Performance
With the stylistic Q550, Fujitsu is the first manufacturer to offer a tablet that is based on Intel Oak Trail. And 'specially designed for tablets and ultra-thin devices, which are forced to work without a separate cooling unit. Intel Atom Z670 SoC (system-on-a-chip) is used here was introduced in 2011 Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Beijing for the first time. The processor is one of the main current of the solution (1-core, 2 threads) with the transformation Lincroft core, 1.5 GHz clock speed and 512 KB of L2 cache.

The second component is the SM35 chipset, also known as Whitney Point, which implements the Intel GMA 600 graphics, HD audio, SATA 2, HDMI support and integration of DDR2 memory. As the platform for netbooks Pine Trail, including, for example, the Intel Atom N550 or N570, the SoC Z670 is made in a structure of 45 nm wide. However, the next generation Atom processor technology for manufacturing 32-nanometer called Cedar Trail was introduced at the same time.

The calculation of the line Maxon Cinebench R10 multi (34 bit) is a popular reference for verifying the performance of the processor. The tablet Q550 managed only 537 points lower in this trial and is well beaten at the end of our database, where all of a netbook with a high-end laptop is.

Despite their high performance profile, netbooks with the latest hardware is clearly an advantage. Two examples include the Asus Eee PC 1015PEM with an Intel Atom N550, and slightly less than 522 Acer Aspire netbook with AMD C-50 APU. These settings are nominally faster 64.3%, respectively, 58.5% with a score of 1.504 and 1.294 points.

Intel GMA 600 (PowerVR SGX) 3D performance is not convincing, either. It 'bad enough 3DMark05 only 253 points earlier. However, Intel GMA 3150 Mini new laptop is not really stronger than average, and the only one to reach 294 points, which is a bit 'more than 14%. AMD C-50 APU, dual-core solution for entry-level sector can clearly excel in this field stronger than the AMD Radeon HD 6250 Performance Plus is an apparent average of 90.3% can be 2599 points.

Futuremark benchmark system, provides punishment of small performances. Tablet reach 1191 points in PCMark Vantage general and can be found in the last places in our database. Several mini-notebook with a little 'old Intel Atom are nearby.

The tablet at the last available place, behind the mini-notebook AMD C-50 APU, the new PCMark 7 All in all not a very impressive performance for a device with the Windows operating system.

Of course, a look on the shelf many references, respectively browser should not be omitted in this test. Compared to existing devices with Android and the leader, Apple iPad 2, the Q550 over the range of superior performance in this test.

The plane left all the tablets based on Android or IOS clearly behind the benchmark in Google V8. With a score of 1601 points, the difference with the Asus Eee next fastest TF101 Transformer Pad is 57.3% (683 points). The iPad is only two of Cupertino in the middle of field with 355 points. Reduces lead SunSpider JavaScript benchmark and the test device is in the center. Finally, mention the 1653 Futuremark benchmarks Peacekeeper browser and therefore a similar investment. Its screen can be found in the appendix.
