You get what you pay for!
Praful Yadav (May 22, 2014)

The saying goes for the product as well. You may get a tab from cheaper brands with similar specs but the similarities end as soon as you start using them. It is the hardware integration and the software customizations done by Samsung which makes all the difference to your tablet experience. Evey day I use my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 I am reminded of the money well spent and the frustrations saved.
Design and form: The tab optimizes screen space by having a slim bezel and 16:10 screen format which makes it slightly less wide and more manageable than other 8 inch android alternatives available currently. Also most android apps are customized for this screen format and not the 4:3 format being offered by cheaper 8 inch tabs. After holding the tab in one hand for an hour Its 316g weight becomes an obvious advantage against 400g something.
Screen: At 189ppi its screen is much better than mini's 160ppi. Although on this day and date a retina display would have been more appropriate. Initially didn't think it makes much of a difference but it does. A higher resolution screen can be held closer to the eye and makes it easy to read finer text with much less strain. Even at 189ppi pixilization is apparent but not as much as at 160ppi.
Performance: The hardware/software integration shines here. Despite having a dual core processor it easily outpaces cheaper quad core tabs.Decent RAM and internal memory helps a lot. The Samsung UI is silky smooth though apps do crash sometimes.
Battery: This is the star of the show and can go on for a whole day. Really the strongest point of this tab.
There are a lot of useful features like a split keyboard, multi window, S Voice, GLONASS (which helps triangulate your position much faster than GPS) etc. Things that make the Samsung experience worthwhile.
Alternatives: The only real android alternatives to Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 are yet to arrive in India. They are the Nexus 7 (2013) and LG G Pad 8.3.

Good Tablet. Decent price. Good for beginners.
Karan (Sep 1, 2013)

I ordered this tablet in amazon Sold by UniverCell. They delivered to my destination (via courier service) which is a pure village near Mannargudi. Surprised and happy to see the prompt delivery. Received tablet in good condition and worked well. Exploring more options these days using the sim card option. I put the airtel sim in this tablet and it worked good with 2G connection (good for emails ,surfing, chatting etc not enough speed for videos/video calling)since 3G is not yet available in my area. skype worked in it. Tethering is not successful yet (still trying) with my desktop.Small and easy in hand. Decent battery. Not using for calls but using only in 2G data or Wifi. Unable to find options yet for multiple user accounts in the tab yet.Over all satisfied with the purchase. I bought this tablet since Surface RT is not available yet in India. Thanks amazon/univercell for prompt service and delivery.Thinking of buying one more for my mom.

Good deal

Cool stuff. I am delighted with this product. Particularly the reading mode and size of 8 inches make it the wonder tab.

Its simply a giant 8" galaxy phone
Arghya Kusum Roy (May 30, 2014)
on Amazon
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.0 T311 8" is a super voice calling tab, rather I consider it a Samsung Galaxy Series 8" Phone with Super Clear LCD (its way better than regular TFT LCD) and thin bezel. This tab has very good hardware specification with 16GB internal memory and 1.5GB RAM. It's dual core processor is way faster than so called quad core processors. I highly recommend this Godzilla Phone Tab.

Awesome, what i want to call this tab. On price side it looks a bit higher, but when you buy this device, and use it , u will simply fall in love with samsung tab 3 8 inch. I bought it just some days after launch of tab 4. when compared to tab 4 it looks much better, with more sensors, good camera, great sound, this device simply looks better than tab 4, but yes its not quad core like tab 4, whatsoever it hardly feels its dual core when you use it, hardly it hangs, hardly any lag. In nutshell, a great product.

Best tablet in the market at this rate
Writing Buddha (May 24, 2015)
on Amazon
One of the best tablet in the market in very cost-effective MRP. The resolution is wonderful. Games run very smoothly without getting interrupted. Both the cameras work perfectly and that's why this tablet is a step ahead than all the other tablets in the market. It almost works like Samsung Tablet Note series just that it doesn't endorse stylus along with it. Internet runs very smoothly. Definitely go for this tablet.

Good One But S-Pen Missing. T311 having both Wifi+SIM, T310 only Wifi.
Go for it.
If you need S-Pen go for Galazy Note 3 8.0 with extra 80 $.

This is a fun-filled tab. I am a novice user recently purchased it after looking at the reviews at different websites. As I am using the tablet, I advice you to buy it. The price is very high for the specifications it provides but worth buying it. I did not face any problems so far. It takes up to 6 hrs for a total charge but the backup it gives is very good.

Very Pleased with the device
Omkara Nadam (Aug 1, 2013)
on Flipkart
It is more than 2 weeks from now I have been using this device (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0) and I am very pleased to say that It is the top notch product I have ever purchased in my life.
Its build quality (even though plastic), its design, tasks carried out by it (tackling) is very appreciable. Tab 2 p3100 was a nice tab as well but tab 3 has increased throughput in a positive manner. i suggest if anyone wish to purchase a above mid range tablet, it is the best option at this moment right now.
