greetings all this is deke Adams with pocket now calm and today we're going to do an unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Verizon so sit back relax and enjoy the show the box for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Verizon pretty straightforward just black box it's got a little simulated view of the device on the front here let's go ahead and just open up to take a look we've got the device itself wrapped up in plastic with instructions about what to do with the LTE sim card which we'll get to in a second and notable notice here that says do not insert the microSD card into that same slot and then underneath this little piece of cardboard here we've got the LTE and the wall warts which attaches together some information and then the Samsung proprietary charging / data cable as well oh that nothing well left in the box and let's go ahead and peel the plastic off and get this thing started starting on the left side of device we have the sim card slot here and I'm just going to go ahead and pop in the verizon sim click it in there it's got a little kind of loose tab here that rolls back and forth and then further down on the left-hand side is the microSD card slot there's not one included but it is expandable which is a nice feature functionality it's got kind of a smooth edge here rolled up on the side very lightweight in the hands on this side we've got the power button and the volume rocker and then this is kind of a neat feature here we've actually got a ir blaster and there's supposedly some software in this as well that will allow us to control I our devices so that's kind of a neat functionality to include on a device this size so here we are booting up the device the front of the screen is a seven point seven inch Super AMOLED display looks really good and it's got 1280 x 800 resolution with 197 PPI full range of sensors like the accelerometer and the the proximity sensor and etc etc 2 megapixel front-facing camera here and then we've got a small bezel around the outside edge nothing too surprising there and it's got a nice feel on the edges here as far as the handheld it doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of like would rub on your hand the wrong way moving around to the back we've got the rear 3 megapixel only does 720p as far as video content it does have a flash it's got brushed aluminum back here a little separation between the brushed aluminum the plastic and then down here we've got the samsung logo which is raised and you can actually got a little bit of a sticking point there and the texture isn't really enjoyable touching this part of the device but really with it in your hands you're not really going to touch it there anyway top of the device here we've got the headphone jack right there and nicely when you hold it in the landscape format versus of the portrait format we don't have any buttons in the way to accidentally turn the device off when we're actually using which greatly appreciate especially compared to the 10.1 samsung galaxy tab from verizon at the bottom of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 we find these speaker ports and the charging / data port for the pituitary cable that Samsung chooses to use so it's got a 1.4 dual core Exynos processor from Samsung which is a really snappy processor same processor as is in my galaxy s2 the gig of ram a 16 gigs of storage in this particular device expandable with the micro SD slots it's running honeycomb unfortunately and ice cream sandwich is supposed to be coming for this but we'll see it and then really honeycomb isn't that terrible it's just not as nice as ice cream sandwich could be it's got CDMA 800 1900 LTE band 13 blue 230 Wi-Fi it's got GPS mentioned order the I airport and we'll take a look at the the app for that I airport when we do the full software review as far as battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Verizon it has a 5100 milliamp hour battery which is supposed to last with Ltd on about 12 and a half hours we'll see how that actually turns out you know with Wi-Fi and 3G services turned on and off otherwise it looks exactly like the as far as the interface goes the galaxy tab 10.1 even with this little quick shortcut launcher down here and the screen capture button still not sure why they include that for a device such as this but really it just looks like a miniaturized version of the galaxy tab 10.1 other than the fact that the device feels more solid it doesn't have on the back here it doesn't pop and click as much although you can see it's got a small dent in here from probably a previous person who used the device since this is a review unit it's got a little ding right there as you can see otherwise it seems to be pretty nice looking and I'm fairly impressed with the the screen resolution it feels really nice in the hands we'll take a closer look at the hardware and the software in future videos that wraps up our unboxing for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Verizon if you have any comments or questions please leave them below we'll try to address them give us a thumbs up if you liked the video and thanks for watching you
