More on TouchWiz below. === Criticisms === Two huge criticisms are entirely the fault of Samsung, the first being that Samsung does not offer a USB driver for Windows XP users that want to connect the tablet to a PC in USB Mass Storage mode. This is the oldest and most basic way to copy files to and from an Android device. Samsung expects Windows users to either install their fat bloatware known as [[Kies]]. The second huge criticism is with Samsung's proprietary connection interface at the bottom of the tablet needed for charging or USB connectivity. Samsung is notoriously bad about using non standard port types. Then Samsung doesn't offer an HDMI adapter cable for this model for users wanting to project a video image to a television. Other criticisms include the over abundance of side buttons make it difficult to hold the tablet without accidentally changing the volume or launching some app. This is a common problem with many Android devices loaded with an annoying side buttons. The tablet is also very slick, making it slippery and easy to drop. Owners should purchase a gel case to provide additional grip and protection. TouchWiz can also be considered a hindrance for users expecting the typical Android UI. === Commendations === On a positive front, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is loaded with memory and storage. It is also very easy to "root," unlocking the full potential of the device. Samsung devices tend to hold a higher resale value as compared to some of the lower end value tablets. Even in early 2014 this table still commands a premium price of around $200 used on eBay. The tablet is a good value when purchased new for all of the features it offers, while remaining valuable throughout its life.
