The new Galaxy Tab was officially announced at the Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona.
This version is called the Galaxy TAB 10.1 contrary to the rumors. It has as expected from it's name a 10.1 inch touchscreen with Android 3.0, Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor, will be available in 16GB or 32GB storage, with a front facing 2MP camera and 8MP rear camera with LED flash. This is all similar with the other tablets running vying around so far.
The o.4 inch thick TAB is lighter. Just 1.23 pounds, whereas iPad is 150 pounds and motorola xoom is 160 pounds. The tab is made up of plastic rather than metal and unlike the 7.1 inch tab it is not glossy at the rear part of the tab. The rear part is rather textured and grippy.
There are no buttons or designs up front to distinguish that it's samsung's. However there is a chrome circular logo of samsung at the back. The screen is 10.1 inch with 1280x800 pixel resolution TFT display. It's doesn't have the super AMOLED it still looks bright. However Samsung definitely dissapointed us there.
The TAB has a sim slot, a 3.5mm jack, and Samsung's propreitary charging cable. However there is no USB or HDMI cable. The rear 8MP camera can capture 1080p HD video and the front 2MP camera will give you good experience in using Google talk video calls.
The Android 3.0 running on it looked simply great. The usage of extra space by the android is simply great. The speed of the tab looks great and all. Well that is to be expected of Tegra2 processor. The dual core processor ensure full HD playback smoothly. The tablet supports gyroscope and accelerometer for motion gaming support.
So far everything looks exactly the same in the tablet as with the other smartphones except the lightweight design. If it puts up a competitive price then it samsung can expect it to stand out against the other tablets. And they haven't anything much about the price and the availability dates. Well I hope we don't have to wait much for it.
