Samsung Galaxy Tab 750 (GT-P7500)

About half a decade ago, Samsung was just another name in the crowd when it came to mobile phones. Nokia’s dominance knew no bounds, which made it difficult for other manufacturers to be heard in this cut-throat segment.

It has a good finish as well as all the ports and buttons line-up perfectly in their grooves. The glossy screen features an 800 x 1280 pixel resolution and Samsung have used a PLS TFT display with Gorilla Glass to make it scratch-resistant.
