Introduced in 2011, the [[Engineering:Samsung Galaxy|Samsung Galaxy]] '''Tab 10.1''' is an [[Software:Android (operating system)|Android]]-based [[Engineering:Tablet computer|tablet computer]] designed and manufactured by Samsung. It is part of the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, and features a {{convert|10.1|in|adj=on}} display and a 1&nbsp;GHz dual-core [[Company:Nvidia|Nvidia]] [[Engineering:Tegra#Tegra 2|Tegra 2]] processor.

== History ==
Samsung first showed a new Galaxy Tab model in January 2011 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona alongside the [[Engineering:Samsung Galaxy S II|Samsung Galaxy S II]]. The original model featured a bigger 10.1" HD display with a dual-core [[Company:Nvidia|Nvidia]] Tegra 2 SoC, running Google's [[Software:Android Honeycomb|Android 3.1 Honeycomb]] operating system,<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-announces-slimmed-down-galaxy-s-ii-smartphone-and-upsized-galaxy-tab-101-tablet/17865/picture/130201/ |title=Samsung announces slimmed down Galaxy S II smartphone and upsized Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet |publisher=Gizmag.com |access-date=23 March 2011}}</ref> and was to be released in partnership with Vodafone. It was set for a US release in March 2011 and a European release in April. However, after the [[Engineering:IPad 2|iPad 2]] release, some specifications were described as "inadequate" by Lee Don-Joo,<ref>Lee Youkyoung, [http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/techscience/2011/03/04/9/0601000000AEN20110304009300320F.HTML "Samsung sees iPad 2's thinness, price as challenges"], ''Yonhap News Agency'', 4 March 2011</ref> Samsung's CEO, pointing to a possible model review or a rethink of their market strategy.

This resulted in the introduction of a new, slimmer model at the Samsung Unpacked Event during the CTIA Wireless convention in March 2011, and an 8.9" model, pushing the release date back to 8 June<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-tab-10.1-release-date-now-official/11891.html |title=Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Release Date Now Official |first=Sindre |last=Lia |date=22 March 2011 |publisher=infoSync World |access-date=2011-08-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927221316/http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-tab-10.1-release-date-now-official/11891.html |archive-date=2011-09-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref> for the US and "early summer" for the latter. The already produced larger 10.1 units were renamed the 10.1v and sold exclusively through Vodafone in Europe, Australia, and South Africa.

At Google I/O 2011, during the Android Keynote, Hugo Barra introduced the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the public, announcing that Samsung would give one to every attendee, estimated at 5,000 units.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-launching-in-about-a-month-google-giv/ |title=Google gives away 5,000 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets to devs at I/O |first=Vlad |last=Savov |date=10 May 2011 |work=Engadget}}</ref> This version is labelled as the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition". It sports a white Android-themed back cover, Android Debug Bridge, [[Software:Fastboot|Fastboot]], and a 7000 mAh (Milliamp Hour) battery. The rest of specifications are in line with the 32 GB version of the Galaxy Tab.

== Software ==
Both versions of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 run [[Software:Android Honeycomb|Android 3.1 Honeycomb]]. The 10.1v runs a "Pure Google" version with no customizations while the 10.1 runs a custom [[Software:TouchWiz|TouchWiz]] overlay.<ref>{{cite web |last=Whitney |first=Lance |url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20066443-251.html |title=Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to ship with Honeycomb 3.1 |work=CNET.com |date=26 May 2011 |access-date=26 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110528144240/http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20066443-251.html |archive-date=28 May 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sammobile.com/devices/specs/GT-P7500/|title=Samsung GT-P7500|last=SamMobile|work=sammobile.com|access-date=7 October 2016|archive-date=10 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010114845/http://www.sammobile.com/devices/specs/GT-P7500/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The latest OS version for Galaxy Tab 10.1 from [[Company:Samsung|Samsung]] is [[Software:Android Ice Cream Sandwich|Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich]].

==Features==
[[Software:ChatON|ChatON]] has basic features, including auto friends registration, text chat, & multimedia deliver, and put new features which are My Page, voice/video chat, & translate. The main function of ChatON is divided into Multimedia, Group Chat, Trunk, and Animation Message. ChatON can send text, picture, video, & audio as multimedia.
Users use the personal profile into My Page. They can create group chat rooms just by selecting more than 2 buddies. All the contents that have been shared in each chat is saved into each trunk. Animation Message turns some simple drawing and stamping into short moving videos.

===Update===
Samsung gave users in Italy, UK, and United States the [[Software:Android Ice Cream Sandwich|Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich]] operating system Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (excluding the 10.1v version) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, at various points in August 2012.

Samsung rolled out an over-the-air update to the new Samsung Galaxy Tab A interface, which consisted of:
* '''Live Panels:''' A set of custom widgets and panels which will provide additional contents to Honeycomb, like weather, calendar, and more. The widgets and panels are resizable, following a grid pattern.
* '''Mini Apps Tray:''' An additional dock-like bar which will give access to the most commonly used applications.
* '''Social Hub:''' An integrated messaging application which aims to center the user's social life, unifying the inboxes and timelines of multiple services like [[Software:Gmail|Gmail]], [[Company:Facebook|Facebook]], [[Company:Twitter|Twitter]], and many others, splitting them into "Feeds" (updates) and "Messages".
* '''Reader's Hub:''' A store that will allow the user to download [[E-book|e-book]]s to the Galaxy Tab. Samsung claims that it will feature around 2 million books, 2,000 newspapers in 49 languages, and 2,300 magazines in 22 languages, which is available only in the US.
* '''Media Hub:''' A [[Engineering:Video on demand|video on demand]] service, which is available only in the US.
* '''Music Hub:''' A [[Music on demand|music on demand]] service, which is available in the US and now in Australia.

===Linux===
Linux distributions compiled for the [[ARM architecture]] have been successfully run via [[Software:Chroot|chroot]].

A port of [[Software:Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]] to run natively on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been currently in development as well,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189251 |title=Thread on xda-developers.com |date=28 July 2011 |publisher=Forum.xda-developers.com |access-date=2012-01-04}}</ref> which boots via the moboot multiboot [[Software:Bootloader|bootloader]] (using the same method as the [[Software:Android (operating system)|Android]] port).  The port is currently in an early alpha stage and is functional.

Both models of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 feature a 1&nbsp;GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB RAM, and a 3-axis MPU-3050 [[Engineering:Gyroscope|gyroscope]] from InvenSense.<ref>{{cite web|website=Tech Republic|title=Cracking down the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1|url=http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-101/6258363?seq=45&tag=content;thumbnail-view-selector|access-date=2012-01-14|archive-date=2012-09-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120928084428/http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-101/6258363?seq=45&tag=content;thumbnail-view-selector|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/itdojo/samsung--tab-101-teardown-daintiest-of-the-android-tablets/2754 |title=Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 teardown: Daintiest of the Android tablets}}</ref>

As with all Honeycomb tablets, the number of buttons has been reduced: The usual ''Home'', ''Menu'', ''Back'', and ''Search'' buttons, which are present in most Android devices, are embedded in the notification and menu bar. The only physical buttons are ''Power'', ''Volume Up'', and ''Volume Down''.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1v and the slimmer Tab 10.1 include stereo speakers. The 10.1v has two speakers on each side, the 10.1 one on each side, and related 8.9 on the bottom.<ref>[https://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-and-10-1-hands-on/#3989388 "Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 hands-on"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201233433/http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-and-10-1-hands-on/#3989388 |date=2016-02-01 }}, "Engadget", 23 March 2011, accessed 12 April 2011.</ref>

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 retains the Samsung [[Engineering:PDMI|PDMI]]-like proprietary interface connector, which is used for both charging and data transfer. There is a keyboard dock for the 10.1 only (also compatible with the 8.9 using a separate detachable dock slot).

All models will be shipped with a 2&nbsp;MP front-facing camera. However, while the Galaxy Tab 10.1v has an 8&nbsp;MP rear camera, the slimmer model has a 3&nbsp;MP rear camera, due to volume reduction in the new models.

The slimmer model also supports 4G connectivity and dual Wi-Fi a/b/g/n antennas, which can operate at 2.4 and 5&nbsp;GHz frequencies.

A USB host adapter was made available in June 2011. The dongle plugs into the 30-pin dock connector and allows [[Engineering:USB|USB]] compatible accessories such as keyboards, mice, and thumb drives, to be connected to the tablet.<ref>{{cite web|title=Galaxy Tab™ Adapter (USB)|url=http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PL0BEGSTA|work=Samsung.com|access-date=17 June 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110618124052/http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PL0BEGSTA|archive-date=18 June 2011}}</ref> No other accessories have been released by Samsung in Australia or New Zealand for the 10.1v. 10.1 Accessories are not compatible with the 10.1v due to the physical design differences.

==Reviews==
Initial reviews of the product were mixed. CNET said it was "the sexiest Honeycomb tablet in the market, though lagging in performance". TechSpot wrote: "The Galaxy Tab 10.1 features a large, wide-screen display that looks sharp and bright, and it rests inside a body that is incredibly thin and light. This 10-inch tablet weighs less than a number of smaller tablets on the market, yet it still packs a dual-core 1 GHz processor and the latest version of Android 3.1 Honeycomb."<ref name="cnet_web">{{cite web |url=http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/samsung-galaxy-tab-10/4505-3126_7-34505347.html |title=Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 |date=6 July 2011 |publisher=CNET |access-date=6 July 2011}}</ref>

The Galaxy Tab's alleged infringements have resulted in injunctions being granted preventing sales of the computer in Australia that forced the cancellation of its launch there.<ref>via TechCrunch.com, [http://priceoye.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-prices-reviews-features-mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810092839/http://priceoye.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-prices-reviews-features-mobile |date=2014-08-10 }}, ''TechCrunch post''</ref> Samsung has voluntarily withheld sales of the tablet in good faith prior to the legal resolution, hence it is not available for official sale in Australia - a grey import market exists however. The legal substance of the suit is infringement of input gestures such as pinching which Apple claims infringe their patents.

On 10 August 2011, a German court granted a preliminary injunction pending a full hearing prohibiting Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales in the European Union (except in the Netherlands, where a second action is running).<ref>{{cite news|last=Tsukayama|first=Hayley|title=Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 imports banned in most of Europe|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/faster-forward/post/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-imports-banned-in-most-of-europe/2011/08/10/gIQAmnVr6I_blog.html|access-date=11 August 2011|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=10 August 2011}}</ref> Although Samsung is accused of violating 10 separate patents Apple holds on transmission of data and on wireless communications technology,<ref name=hindu-aug11>Halliday, Josh (11 August 2011).

The Dutch magazine Webwereld reported an investigation into evidence contrasting the two devices submitted to the German court by Apple, in which the Galaxy Tab pictured does not accurately reflect the product in terms of its shape. An example from the court document shows the Samsung device with aspect dimensions much closer to Apple's device, and the Samsung logo appears to have been digitally removed. Additionally, the Galaxy Tab is shown with the Application drawer in contrast to the [[Engineering:IPad|iPad]] in its home screen, which gives the impression of a similar [[User interface|user interface]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webwereld.nl/nieuws/107599/apple-levert-onjuist-bewijs-in-zaak-tegen-samsung.html |title=Apple levert onjuist bewijs in zaak tegen Samsung |date=15 August 2011 |access-date=15 August 2011 |language=nl}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.osnews.com/story/25065/Apple_Tampered_with_Evidence_in_German_Apple_v_Samsung_Case |title=Apple Tampered with Evidence in German Apple v Samsung Case |date=15 August 2011 |access-date=16 August 2011}}</ref>

On 16 August, the injunction had been partly suspended on the grounds that the court may not have the authority to ban sales across the EU. The injunction would not extend beyond Germany.<ref>{{cite news |title=Samsung Galaxy tablet ban lifted in most of Europe |url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/tech-us-samsung-apple-ban-idUKTRE77F45420110816 |work=Reuters |access-date=16 August 2011 |first=Nicola |last=Leske |date=16 August 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Samsung Galaxy Tab ban is on hold |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14548895 |work=BBC |access-date=16 August 2011 |date=16 August 2011}}</ref>

Samsung Electronics will be allowed to sell its latest Galaxy tablet computer including Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia since December 3, 2011 after it won a victory against Apple and overturned a sales ban in the country. There are around 20 legal disputes in 9 countries including the U.S., Japan and the U.K. between Samsung and Apple.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/a3fe672e-1b0b-11e1-8f1e-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=rss#axzz1fBn7XogG |title=Samsung defeats Apple in court |date=November 30, 2011}}</ref>

After [[Social:European Union|European Union]] lift the ban, except {{wipe|Germany}}, finally Germany issued a preliminary ruling on December 23, 2011 that the Samsung tablet no longer violates Apple's European design patent with a final verdict will be handed down on February 9, 2012 over Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N was a new version with a number of changes to the design when Apple won a block on sales of the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country in September 2011. Samsung has changed the design of the tablet PC sufficiently, making it clear to consumers that it was different from Apple's iPad, said the German judge.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.intomobile.com/2011/08/16/samsung-galaxy-tab-eu-bangermany/ |title=Samsung Galaxy Tab EU ban lifted, except in Germany |date=August 16, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pcworld.in/news/samsung-scores-victory-against-apple-germany-60552011 |title=Samsung Scores Victory Against Apple In Germany |date=December 23, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107233744/http://www.pcworld.in/news/samsung-scores-victory-against-apple-germany-60552011 |archive-date=January 7, 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.macworld.com.au/news/german-court-unlikely-to-ban-samsung-galaxy-tab-42243/ |title=German court 'unlikely' to ban Samsung Galaxy Tab |date=December 23, 2011 |access-date=2011-12-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118024905/http://www.macworld.com.au/news/german-court-unlikely-to-ban-samsung-galaxy-tab-42243/ |archive-date=2012-01-18 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Sales ban===
On 26 June 2012, Apple was granted a request for a preliminary injunction against the sale of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in United States by District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California. The sales ban was to be effective after Apple paid a $2.6 million bond to protect against damages suffered by Samsung if the injunction is later found to have been wrong. On 1 October 2012, the sales ban was lifted.<ref>{{cite news|last=Levine |first=Dan |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-samsung-galaxy-ruling-idUSBRE85Q02B20120627 |title=Judge halts U.S. sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab |newspaper=Reuters |date= 2012-06-27|access-date=2013-07-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url= http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/news/hardware/Court-bans-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10-1-sales-in-US/articleshow/14425070.cms| title=Court bans Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales in US| date=27 June 2012}}</ref>
