Samsung Galaxy Tab vs. Dell Streak

Storage

In terms of storage there is a big difference between the two devices. The Dell Streak comes with 2GB of internal and is capable of supporting 32GB via its MicroSD card slot.

The Galaxy Tab, however, comes in two flavours: 16GB or 32GB of internal memory. Both models also support 32GB via the Tab’s microSD card slot.

Verdict – Galaxy Tab

Overall Victor – Galaxy Tab

Overall we love the Dell Streak, it’s versatile, easy-to-use and is very customisable. In this respect, we found that when we were using the device on a regular basis we began to neglect our actual mobile phone, which speaks volumes about the Streak’s phone capabilities.

The Streak also has everything that you’ll need on a day-to-day basis such as, 3G, phone functionality, apps, widgets, storage and portability. And once it gets Android 2.1 – and hopefully 2.2, before the end of Q4 – it will be an absolute powerhouse of a device.

That said, in terms of hardcore specs and performance we really can’t see it competing with the slightly larger – and very “sexed-up” – Samsung Galaxy Tab. In this respect, then, maybe it was unfair to compare the two devices…

Or maybe it wasn’t. You see whilst the Tab beats the Streak in many respects, it isn’t the end of the world as the Streak and the Tab while being very similar are also very different, as well as being targeted at different demographics. For example, the Dell is a lot more sensible and will not impress those that have iPads on the brain. 

Consequently, the Galaxy Tab, with all its glitz and glamour and slick UI could very well cost Apple a lot of business in the coming months and years – and it is for this reason, as well as the generally higher specs, that we salute you Samsung for making such a good tablet device. Kudos.
