The primary is only 2 MP and so it\u2019s alright for stand-and-shoot photos, but don\u2019t expect much more.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution is also a bit disappointing; at only 600 x 1024 pixels, it\u2019s a sub-par resolution, but for the generous price tag, this is not unexpected. It is easy to use, compact and it is comfortable to operate with one hand, which is fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that this is a little fighter that you can rely on to get the job(s) done, well!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key specs<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>7.0\u201d TFT capacitive touchscreen<\/li>\n<li>Resolution: 600 x 1024 pixels<\/li>\n<li>Network speed: 3G (Max)<\/li>\n<li>Primary camera: 2 MP<\/li>\n<li>Front-facing camera: N\/A<\/li>\n<li>OS: Android OS, v4.2 (Jelly Bean)<\/li>\n<li>Marvell PXA986 chipset<\/li>\n<li>CPU: Dual-core 1.2 GHz<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi 802.11 b\/g\/n, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot<\/li>\n<li>microSD dedicated slot (expandable up to 32 GB)<\/li>\n<li>1 GB RAM<\/li>\n<li>Internal storage capacity: 8 GB<\/li>\n<li>Bluetooth: 0, LE<\/li>\n<li>microUSB v2.0<\/li>\n<li>Non-removable Li-Ion 3600 mAh battery<\/li>\n<li>Talk time: Up to 8 h (multimedia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros: <\/strong>Affordable; compact; comfortable for one-hand operation<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cons: <\/strong>No front-facing camera; low screen resolution; sub-par chipset<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verdict:<\/strong> <strong>6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/offers\/75965315\/Samsung+Galaxy+Tab3+Lite+7%22+8GB+Tablet+with+WiFi+in+Black?sst=3+galaxy+lite+samsung+tab%2Cfkey&amp;ssp=1&amp;sso=0&amp;rc=default\">Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 lite available from R1702<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung\u2019s Tab 3 lite has been dubbed the \u201ctoddler\u201d of its bigger brother, the Tab 3, but it\u2019s far more mature than the name suggests.
